There is no more grid exploit, Cao Cao.
Devs deliberately left a few hidden belts around to reward the hardwork of scanners.
I'd be interested in seeing a link or citation to the source you are using to support this statement. Or even you simply saying which developer said this to you. As far as I can tell, grids were made super huge in order to solve a lot of the grid exploiting but never have I heard that they "intended" to leave some belts outside some grids as a "reward" to some people for using their scanners. Citation please, or we can all assume this is typical puffery.
I'm not sure how accurate this thread is, but it seems to indicate that it is indeed and exploit:

'Hidden belts' cuts it just about as well when some people were saying that dropping 1000 cargo cans to cause lag was a valid form of electronic warfare. Next time you pod an AFK ark miner follow it up with an exploit petition...

It does require some amount of skill, and time.
It's quite rewarding when you find a nice group of them.

Well, here it is from the horse's mouth. Orestes said, in this thread:

'Bubble mining' (I assume grid-mining) has been classed an exploit and is therefore grounds for a warning or a ban (temporary or not).

Hopefully this dispels any misguided, misinformed, off-the-cuff notion (tossed around by certain individuals prone to making sporadic statements without any factual backup) that off-of-grid belts are a "feature" intended to "reward" people who like to exploit. Next time I will take screen shots and report Jamba or anyone else I encounter doing this as an exploiter instead of just podding him (well, actual credit for capsule deactivation has to be properly attributed to our squad's esteemed leader Superbus Maximus and his uber tachyons  ) and taking his stuff (as fun and rewarding as it was  ).

Exploit or not, if this was in FE territory, good for you! Protect your minerals in your space. If not, It doesnt really help the new FE "non-pirate" image of coming on the forums and bragging about about indy kill. Posting in "crime and punishment" speaks volumes.
My 2 cents. |

I think mining in a battleship is an exploit. Too bad they didnt think up "mininglaser hardpoints" when they released the game.

Let's face it, Carebear Productions won't nerf mining. They can however make techlevel 2 very expensive and increase the profits in 0.0 to 0.4 and in 0.0 non-imperial.

Ahh so you are pirates after all. PERFECT WE GET TO KILL YOU NOW
killing an indy in 0.0 space does not make you a pirate. If this is indeed the case then the "pirates" have been correct all along when claiming regional alliances are nothing but pirates glamed up.
I mean c'mon, just think about it. What would make more sense then the 3 most hated alliances teaming up to lay waste to the people they all hate anyways? CA is already allied with PA, and TPS lies between the two alliances. Natural allies to be sure. But it's not just that, all but PA (and even some of them) have adopted a "stfu and die, or come and fight us, we don't give a **** what you think or do" philosophy, as well as a PvP Kill everyone not friend kind of mentality. These are the people in eve that kill or convert, the ones dedicated to the death of others, because history, circumstance, and the rest of eve have driven then to do so (except TPS, who are just cool ass pirates ). |

In fact I was in an Iteron Mk III. If you had so much as looked sideways at my battleship you can be sure I would have chopped you up and fed you to the dogs. kthx now bye bye
EDIT: and wtf are you talking about ran,loged, [sic] and smack talked? I have seen you what, twice? Once was in my kestrel running missions and then the time you attacked me with missiles in empire which was in my iteron mk3. Quit making up facts, and go ask Beseb from R.O.T. if I run and log even in situations where I am outnumbered and outgunned.
tisk tisk, go kill afk miners and brag about it on the forums.

Has anyone else not noticed a little conflict to this story tellers actual story ?
Mercoxite is 40 cu3 which would require a 492,000 cargo space , or something along the lines of a Titan , not a bestower.
Your Mega Afocal Pulse Maser I perfectly strikes Asteroid (Veldspar) [R0ME], wrecking for 798.3 damage.
Your 425mm Railgun I perfectly strikes Guardian Captain, wrecking for 685.9 damage.

Krashtest,
I think you are the only one not to understand that I meant 12,300 m3 of mercoxit. It was like 300 units or something.

Indeed, takes a very good and brave pirate to kill an afk pilot.
It was fun to read "told him to leave 9 times, not our fault he was afk".. lol.. carebears knowing someone is afk and try to gratify it by saying that he was afk-warned (?).
claiming space are for babies anyway so that make then 2 x crybaby pirates.. |

yes it does, and yes that is true too. Alliances are pirates with a shiny look is all. Anyone that would kill you when you have done nothing to them is pirating. There are no 'good guys' that I know of that would do that. Lets not kid ourselves. And just because all the alliances do it does not mean it's not pirating.

While it is true that pirates and alliances resemble each other than it is not because alliances behave like pirates but more because pirates behave like alliances. There are ofcourse some subtle differences that allow corps like celest to attack those so called pirates.

Well why are they killing your miners. Do they take your minerals or gain anything from it? They might but my guess is that they don't so I wouldn't exactly call it pirating but that is always a matter of how you define pirating.
And besides I said the were more like alliances than pirates, not that they are nothing like pirates. Well at least that's what I think I said if I didn't I meant that

Just to clarify something here... you say a Bestower was afk mining mercoxit and by the time you came across it it had filled its hold with 300 units of ore? Can anyone tell me how exactly a Bestower can mine mercoxit continuosly without having its shields and hull eaten away by pollution clouds? You need to be within 5km of a mercoxit roid to mine it and afaik the pollution clouds have a radius greater than this.
For the record, I'm one of the mugs who trained DCM to level 5 in a hope it would be a viable proffession, and at level 5 I still get eaten alive with pollution clouds from time to time and have to warp out to allow my shields to recover.
Did he have shield hardeners/recharges on his Bestower at all because I can't quite figure out how an indy can survive in that envronment without having to relocate every once in a while to allow his shields to recharge.
(for those that aint familiar with DCM pollution clouds they do 140 damage per minute no matter what level your DCM skill is at).

Hehe Skillz you are soooo right... :)
Being killed by pirates and mine ore are the two only things that are free in space.
Also both have same level of fun involved in them....

I'm not familiar with DCM but, using your figures, unless I'm mistaken a pilot with good recharge skills could probably have a medium shield booster running indefinitely on a bestower without even fitting any cap vs shield recharge rate boosters. As a medium booster gives you (according to eve-db) 60 hp per 3 sec (ie 1200 hp per minute) just one booster would do the job. Add in cap recharges and named modules and I think keeping up with 140 dam per min to shields would be trivial, and if you actually meant 140hp per second then 4 boosters could keep up.
