"The vast majority of nullsec miners will not be negatively impacted."

I don't know where you learned your command of the English language or truly understated the impact here.

but what you really should have stated instead of trying to sugar coat the nerf is.

"Every nullsec miner will be negatively impacted."

What poison pill are you going to try and convince us is a candy next.

I had so many friends spend so much money on plex to skill inject into a rorqual and now your killing the game for them...

The MacGirk-Ayrania Make Depletion Great Again ORE Anomaly Act of YC 119 - Sorry, but we've been calling for this long enough that it deserves a proper name.

The idea of respawn timers for the anoms is completely sensible and adds a sense of depletion, which is sorely missing from this game in most areas of ISK and resource faucets. Anoms were never designed for a time with mining rorquals in mind and definitely needed to be changed. Not just in terms of material content, but in terms of respawn rates. You clear cut your forest and it takes some time to grow back. So stop whining and be better stewards of the land.

However, that change was in and of itself sufficient. The addition of a third nerf to excavators is overkill, and makes it harder to determine the outcome from the anomaly change. Why not see where that goes before dumping on excavators and Rorqual once again?

Hey folks.
We continue to keep a close eye on the impacts of the changes to mining ships that have been made over the past six months. After this observation we have decided that we need to make another intervention to keep the economy healthy. This isn't the first of such changes, and once again it is unlikely to be the last.



Lets interpret this :

We Really give no ***** about good fights or any issues with the declining player interaction. And We are not making enough Money so We will reduce the yield the Raquel again and then soon you will all buy more injectors and make more accounts to have hulk pilots an we can make more money. Thanks for the continued Purchase of Micro transactions, once this nerf and future mining nerf happen and You all have spent your hard earned money on More Micro transactions we will make the Titan mining so op you'll buy more injectors and make us more thanks for being suckers.


Does that sound right to you all?????????????????????????

Total Bull **** Lets give the Indy guys something that make them happy and them make eve totally void of reasons to fight and then ***** cause the "economy"
Make reasons to fight Make people lose ships and then it will spur the stagnant economy. More fights, bigger fights boost economy when billions get lost. This move is the same effect as laying off workers and stop producing. So then We have no reason to supply and no fights and then the "Economy" of the game will not matter when a better alternative come along for peoples spare time .

I like how the entire 'Eve establishment' flames CCP when they are trying to nerf the only way to earn tens of billions of ISK per hour as one person by semi afk multiboxing tens of Rorquals at the same time. This change is an attempt to reestablish everyone else's interests against 50 richest miners in a handful of richest alliances. Don't mind the flames CCP.

If ore runs out in a system just jump to the next?

CCP... your problem is not the rorqual... your problem is the indecent mutiboxing. When a single RL personne can deploy almost 60 rorquals on field... that's your problem. overall, with this nerf, you'll cut about 12% yield (including speed nerf), what do you think all big-alliance-multiboxer-anom-killer rorq pilots will do ? they just gonna add some more rorq. until you nerf it to the point where sp/isk cost vs yield ratio will be so dumb we all mine in exhumer again.

you want to fix this amount of ore we goons mine every month ? find a way to limit (not prevent) multiboxing and then play with that lmit until you're happy with the ecomony and player don't want to kill you too much.

After this observation we have decided that we need to make another intervention to keep the economy healthy. This isn't the first of such changes, and once again it is unlikely to be the last.

In the June release we are making a few targeted changes to Nullsec Asteroid Clusters (the ore anomalies created by the Ore Prospecting Array upgrade) and Excavator drones.

Firstly, we are adding a respawn cooldown to all Asteroid Cluster anomalies. This cooldown scales based on the size of the anomaly:

• 20 minutes for the Small Asteroid Cluster
• 1 hour for the Medium Asteroid Cluster
• 2 hours for the Large Asteroid Cluster variants
• 4 hours for the Enormous Asteroid Cluster variants
• 5 hours for the Colossal Asteroid Cluster variants

These changes will only have a significant impact on the absolute busiest nullsec mining systems. The vast majority of nullsec miners will not be negatively impacted. The pilots mining in those few extremely busy systems will have the option of staggering when they mine, or simply spreading out to a few extra systems.

We are also making some more small adjustments to the Excavator drones themselves. In June the changes are:

• About 9% less yield for Ore Excavators
• 12.5% lower speed for Ore Excavators
• About 11% longer cycle time for Ice Excavators
• 10% lower speed for Ice Excavators

We will continue observing the economy after these changes and making adjustments as necessary to keep it healthy for all our players.

But scarcity should be a thing realized by all. Not just systems in Null with upgrades.

Maybe CCP should apply the same principle to ratting anoms as they are proposing for the mining anoms. That should provide a more balanced playing field.
