- What do you candidates propose that CCP do in terms of gameplay to curb or discourage the use of mining bots without making it too much of a hassle or inconvenience for the legitimate miners out there?
- How do you feel about the whole buff/nerf debate regarding the stats of certain exhumers such as the Hulk and Mackinaw? Do you think either/neither should happen?
- Should the Orca have its corporate hangar/ore hold become scanneble and should any loot drop from such storage areas of the ship upon destruction of said ship or do you wish to leave it alone as it is?
- Do you or do you not believe that iterating on the mining profession is overdue? If so, do you or do you not feel that it deserves its own dedicated expansion?
- How hard will you press the issue of the mining profession when you are elected as a member of the Council of Stellar Management?
Not to long ago i came across this particular thread by a guy called Mors Sanctitatis:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=59357
The OP in this thread would be my guide line since i think he has absolutely great ideas about mining.
As for questions not answered by this particular thread.
Buff/nerf of certain exumers imo should not happen before changes like suggested in that thread are made to the profession of mining itself. The "world" looks much different if these changes would find their way into the game.
The Orca should be left alone aside from one thing, it does seem logical any cargo in those specific cargoholds would drop when the ship is destroyed.
I do not think mining needs an entire expansion on its own, but changes to the mining profession are long overdue imo.
Than again, such a big change as suggested in the thread i linked to would probably be like a entire expansion for CCP Devs to develop.
Well, one of my goals is to have more random players actually attending roundtables instead of me taking a seat. I would just organize it and take notes. However, that said, as i would help setting up focal points for the roundtables, i would definitly put this forward as a focal point. Fact remains, it is up to the players if they think it has any priority and not my decision to make.
But i would press for it to be a focal point, since mining is one of the first things you do when you start playing EvE.
And as it is, mining is not the best advert for the game in its current state and therefor does not help new subscriptions.
Also, although i hate to admit it, Mittens is right, the removal of alloys is already on the agenda which would most definitly make mining more profitable.
Once you think you have it all, you-áhave actually become-áignorant towards everything else.
