It would be pretty cool if comets randomly appeared travelling through systems and that an enterprising player were able to "scoop" minerals from its tail. Would make a whole new occupation "comet chaser". I imagine the tail causing some damage to your ship (like DCM), the requirement for another navigation skill, a comet mineral scoop skill and mineral scoop equipment. As the comet would be travelling fast (say 4k/s), the player would need MWD some kind of target locking device. These things could appear in *any* system, even 1.0 systems and would be spread randomly about and found by using the scanner.
Also, your skill level would determine the type of comet you could scoop from as well as the speed of comet you could chase.
Anyway, just another dumb idea!

I like the idea of having other ways of obtaining resources. Comets should come rarely and be LOADED with rare minerals. However, we will probably not see something like this until next year.
Clever idea though.

Write this idea on your notepad and propose it in 2005 :)

tbh, I don't see it as requiring major game mechanic changes. It would be fun for the graphics guys to do the comet anyway :) Can imagine a group of 5 rifter chasing the comet, all trying to get a piece of the action and the passing of the comet being an "event" in a system that everyone will want to get in on.

think of they greifers though :)
chase the asteroid in a cruiser/bs loaded with smartbombs and blow them tiny rifters up
might actually add a element of danger into it but you know some greifers will just **** you off

lol - there is always a griefer angle - but I imagine where theres grifers, theres corp defence. Besides, if they occur anywhere (even 1.0 systems), your security rating would take a hit anyway.

Comets exist... kinda...
Ragnar came across one in live only a month or so into the game.
Never heard of one since mind. So I guess they weren't finished, or were exploitable or some such.
Code and gfx do exist for these things though. It's just a question of 'soon'
