+1 for making moons work like PI... AND rotation... both at the same time if it could be managed, but I doubt that would happen.
PI: Alliance members get to profit some off of good moons, as opposed to them being "alliance owned only" which they typically are. Alliances still make good iskies off of the moon being mined, as they surely own the customs office and will get a cut. Could add moon levels to DUST with cool reduced gravity crazy fights.
Rotation: Tech depletes slowly as it is harvested, as do all the good ones, eventually moon becomes barren. Other moons start to yield the good stuff, cyclical. More people that come to feast on the good minerals, the faster the moon depletes. Make space feel big again. Make dotlan moon charts pointless. Let people's eyes widen when they survey the moon they were going to set up on and suddenly discover a gold mine that no one knew was there.
It's less about "oh noez who owns all the good moons this season?!?!", or "all the stuff is bunched up!". It's more about making game content dynamic. Sure it'd be a hassle for some people, but no one said it should be easy. I love the idea of discovering new things, or finding out that something isn't what everyone thought it would be.
It would be a huge conflict driver, as alliances are forced to move around trying to keep tabs on where they should strike next. Which region has the best combination of moons this season, easier to defend, and easiest to take?
Even if it did affect T2 production, which I doubt it would have as huge an impact as everyone is trying to claim (just would be different people selling the tech at different times), is that a bad thing? Are alternating periods of stability and instability a bad thing for markets? This would actually make market pvp 100 times better.
It's whatevs, though. Arguing about this kind of stuff is like trying to argue with people about religion. Everyone has their own idea of how everything works, and they'll be damned if you could convince them one iota of anything went the other way.
