I think that if your thread title involves the word "idea" it probably belongs somewhere else.

want to change minning ? I will tell you what you should do.

Take all miners and go to DRONES Regions and camp all ratters there (in clocky ships). Prices will change :)
Pure and Simple :)

As someone who lives in drone-space I must point out a flaw in your plan:

AFK cloaky- campers (and yeah we get these all the time) will not stop people from ratting, it will only make people become smarter/more careful about their ratting, as in "please hot drop us we have the supercaps on stand-by just waiting for you to take the bait".

As for campers stopping miners that's not true, it merely forces them to move somewhere else. Do you know how amazingly hard it is to pile jump clones and mining ships into a rorqual and set up a small tower elsewhere? Oh wait, it's not hard at all.

Personally I can't wait for CCP to implement a way to deal with the AFK cloakers. Hopefully without killing cloaking for everyone because it does have its uses (like blockade running). I personally favor the "cloaks now use fuel" approach, or the "scan to decloak" approach since they would allow players who are present to gather intel, etc while absolutely ending the guy who logs in a cloaky ship after downtime and then leaves for work.

This obstacle requires human interaction to complete, or at least something very difficult for a bot to perform. I imagine this could be anything from a large collideable structure which you need to navigate around manually, to a message popping up and telling you your neocomp has failed, and you cannot activate high-slots until you solve a series of capicha questions. (open to further suggestions of this part)

Because it would get rather boring running though the obstacles time and again, you give mining barges an Ore Hold like the Orca and Roqual which would hold say, 45,000m3, or about enough to take 20-30 minuets to fill.

Two days ago my friends was able to turn OFF huge area with just few ppl in cloacky ships. They killed many Ratters in their shiny pimped ships. So please.... I know what im saying :) Depends how good you are in it :)

And at the end Ally paid Them to leave :)

There's a heavy load of threads at the moment about the need to improve mining, and counter-acting the bots which currently dominate this industry. Here is my idea to address this:

In all normal belts, replace the normal asteroids with a new, sub-par alternative. For example, replace 95% of the Veldspar asteroids with something like 'Light Veldspar' or 'Poor Veldspar'. This only refines to say, 25% of normal Veldspar.

To balance this, create hidden asteroid belts which appear in the ship scanner in the same way cosmic anomalies work. When you fly to these, they should include roids, and some form of obstacle which prevents initially prevents you from mining. This obstacle requires human interaction to complete, or at least something very difficult for a bot to perform. I imagine this could be anything from a large collideable structure which you need to navigate around manually, to a message popping up and telling you your neocomp has failed, and you cannot activate high-slots until you solve a series of capicha questions. (open to further suggestions of this part)

The rewards for finding the hidden belts, is these contain Dense and Concentrated Veldspar which should be buffed in their bonuses from 10% and 5% to, say 200% and 100%.

Because it would get rather boring running though the obstacles time and again, you give mining barges an Ore Hold like the Orca and Roqual which would hold say, 45,000m3, or about enough to take 20-30 minuets to fill. This may downgrade the Orca in its usefulness, so it could be buffed in some other way, for examples to give higher command bonuses.

Obviously, most of these numbers are guesswork, so any of them could be tweaked. The goal is to allow real miners a new advantage over bots, without changing the core dynamic of mining to far. This could both give real players a better experience mining, and also only restrict the bots should CCP not want to force them out the game completely.

I would love to hear what people think on this

And so genuine miners are made to jump through ridiculous unrealistic hoops to solve a problem with botters.

Shows that the concern is purely and soley focussed at any botting problems and not miners interests. Potentially making it seriously less fun to do mining in the process.....................

I had thought and still do to some extent that this is/was a "joke" thread due to where it was posted.
