I see internal diplomatic incidents waiting to happen. Once mined, there's no way to force someone to pay you a fee. This literally is asking for drama, and not the good kind, but the players/corps being kicked from their alliances kind due to the actions of the few kind.
First, might I suggest causing the structure to put a "barrier" along the belt which when crossed will warn that a % fee based on the value will be deducted from the player's wallet (based on the owner's settings) at the end of every cycle. If they can't pay the fee the cycle fails and that's that.
Allow this to be bypassed by a new form of the "siphon" units which allow entry undetected of the anchoring player. Entries show within the mining log as "unknown" but still have it log the stolen goods. These new deployables should be 1 shot deals which cannot be picked up and last for their duration maybe an hour, up to a day.
Last point, simply due to the number of moons in existence, and the unknown size of the belts created (I'd assume along the lines of what we see in a small belt anomaly, this could take a lot of time even if you stagger them. The task of mining the materials will be daunting. Perhaps consider allowing the structures to still passively mine the material over the 1-2 week cycle that it takes for the next rock to be hauled up. That way once the new rock is there, the previous one has been cleared.
This also allows for a constant amount of materials to continue to enter the market, but allows for players to speed up the process without actually effecting volume. |

The people actually asking for new skills must have a bone in the injector market. That's all new skills or new ships with new requirements have already shown to encourage. There is no delay or gradual shift anymore, it's just inject and be perfect. I mean, if I were CCP I'd do it simply because more injector usage means more extractor and plex sales. But as a player I say screw that, just give additional uses to the already niche deep core mining skill. Hell, you can even attach the use of R-4/8/16/32/64 crystals to each level if you really wanted. |
