Once again, CCP dropped the ball. They could have made moon goo follow mechanics similar to randomized locations of asteroid belt anoms, where once a belt/moon was exhausted or times out, it respawns somewhere else, maybe in the same constellation, maybe in the same region.

The more difficult you make something in the game, the more of a gap you create between the large groups with lots of people who can throw manpower at the problem and those with low numbers.

In low sec it will ABSOLUTELY be a thing. It's pretty simple to see why... NPC stations. I move around with my two accounts until I find an unattended chunk of moon material in space (because the owners didn't have the manpower to mine all of it). I then mine and transport the moon materials while the other corp is sleeping in their timezone. If they show up... I warp to station (or just do it in ventures so the loss if they pop me is minimal).

In null... it will be tougher to find un-mined moon chunks I imagine because they'll be organized enough to mine them up when they get created.

So, moon mining is something a small group can do now? Yes? Why can't they do it in the future?

This is back and forth is a great example, to me, of how people view Eve differently. The OP above questions why anyone would throw a refinery in low (something I believe will happen all over Eve) and the response above points out that Raitaru's are already in low (which as a new player I assume was at some point unthinkable?).

I've enjoyed every post and appreciate so much thought put into all of this.
