Toshiroma McDiesel Lupus Draconis Dragehund 13	Posted - 2012.01.30 02:42:00 - [1] - Quote So Moon Mining isn't real mining? no ship required? I've only been here almost a year, and mainly high sec...so not up to speed on everything here. But is Moon mining just another form of PI? I make the sharp pointy things that you use to make things go BOOM! -áWithout me, you wouldn't have those sharp pointy things, and without you, I wouldn't have a reason to make those sharp pointy things.

Xercodo Disturbed Friends Of Diazepam Dark Matter Coalition 831	Posted - 2012.01.30 02:51:00 - [3] - Quote And it uses POSes instead of little control center thingies The Drake is a Lie

RubyPorto Profoundly Disturbed RED.Legion 1315	Posted - 2012.01.30 03:01:00 - [5] - Quote Yep. Take the PI system: Extractor > Processor > Storage > Processor > Storage > Market (or whatever) Spread it out over a bunch of POSes, and you've got moon mining. FYI: It is not a solo activity, and cannot be done in .4 or higher security. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words. That's what makes it special in my eyes.

Toshiroma McDiesel Lupus Draconis Dragehund 13	Posted - 2012.01.30 03:12:00 - [8] - Quote hmm....in a way, I find that kinda silly, like PI. If I have to play aligning every 2 mins, while I dump ore to orca (max mining means dumping every cycle) while hitting D-Scan, and people get to set up "Mining" that is total afk, I find that it does annoy me somewhat. (I do not like the PI system, but see that there might be some hope with Dust, not that I think it will actually fix that) (edit) That also clears up where I've read one Goonwaffe state (I think it was Laddy Harlot at the time) caught anyone from his corp mining he would gank them himself, and another Goonwaffe posters stateing (can't remember his name, sorry) that they mine 61+ moons. Does that mean Moon Mining isn't actual mining? (again with the noobish question) I make the sharp pointy things that you use to make things go BOOM! -áWithout me, you wouldn't have those sharp pointy things, and without you, I wouldn't have a reason to make those sharp pointy things.

The Drake is a Lie

CCP realised that asteroid mining is completely pointless and have vowed never to make the same mistake again. So every form of resource gathering introduced since then has been automated passive resource gathering with the player's role being focused on setup, transport and management, which does make far more sense. But don't worry, miners, I still totally respect your play-style of doing a mindless repetitive task that is better accomplished by bots.

Gate camp much? that's a lot of sitting around not even mining or anything useful right there. Null sec makes mining veldspar look like NASCAR these days. Not that I like NASCAR, but you get my point.

All the PvE crap CCP adds get's boring after half a dozen runs. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words. That's what makes it special in my eyes.
