Moon mining in low security space is already a pretty niche thing (from what I can tell, may be wrong), so how do you thin the new refineries will play into this? They are plan on phasing out the old passive moon mining with this new moon mining that requires actual miners to mine.
Think this will kill moon mining in low sec? Bring more miners and industrialists into low? The refineries can fit weapons, so they could protect the miners to some degree.
What do you guys think? Good or bad? |

Do you think miners will actually go into low sec? I doubt it personally. Will a crop actually anchor a refinery? They will be cheaper than a citadel, but more expensive than an engineering complex. My assumption on a price will be around 800 - 900 mil ISK. That is pretty dedicated price range for a corporation. |

Moon=mining in low is very profitable as stated before - done by one-man operations, but it will now be a group effort.
The moguls will be forced to use several alts, befriend industrialists, and yeah I am sure highsec mining groups WILL put up refineries.
That would defiantly help breathe some new life into low. More people the better. More pew for the pvp, more reward for the indy guys. |

To be honest it isn't that dangerous to mine in low security space. If you aren't AFK, stay aligned with the Higgs Anchor Rig, and warp out when a red or neutral enters belt, you are pretty much good. Downside is you can't really stay in the asteroid belt as long since you will likely be chased by pirate players quite frequently.
Stat wise low sec ores are a middle between high sec and null sec ore, but unlike null and high sec, you can stay mining a lot longer without being chased away, thus making low sec unprofitable.
The new refineries can have weapons, so they could make babysitting industrialists easier, (no need to warp away). And supposedly more profitable (moon goo maybe mixed with other ABC minerals). |

Well if someone is in the refinery citadel, they could man the weapons and protect and the mining fleet. The porpoise could provide logistics to help keep the fleet alive while the person manning the weapons on the refinery stops the attacking fleet.
But I agree, we really won't know how things will work till they come out. |

I seem to remember mention of gas refining in a wormhole but will it be able to create a mini asteroid belt with a spread of standard ore minus the moon goo ?
If not ...why not (lore-wise lack of comms to known space would also prevent refining T3 )
They said on the inital release they have no plans for refineries in highsec or WH space. They said however after the inital release they might add stuff for WH players. |
