Good ideas, but the best possible thing that could be done would be getting rid of Drone alloy; cut away the bad befotre you add the good eh?

well i really want the mining drones to be used more then they do atm, therefor i made it a 500% bonus yield so they bring up alot more minerals

This is what I've imagined should be used in Moon Mining, Something that has to be docked when you log out at the end of the day, Kinda like the ship from the new Star Trek Movie.

Cool.

I agree, but increasing the amount of minerals you mine is ultimately no different than having a lower limit

Not those kinds of drones. Paragon is talking about rogue drone regions in null where "mining" can already been done with a variety of caps by shooting rogue drones and looting the alloys that drop.

But seriously, the problem with mining isn't the lack of ships, it's the material distribution and the fact that what miners do is somewhat obsoleted by those ratting in rogue drone space (and to a lesser degree mission loot drops). Plus, there's the whole snoozefest mining mechanics thing that's automated incredibly easily which means bots. AND ratting bots in drone regs. So, a ship isn't the solution for the problem mining is facing.

Might want to read this recent thread afore you assume it's "all rosey" with drone alloy removal.

The mining 'buff' fallacy

well thats only drone region.

Interesting.

Unfortunately it's also totally wrong

I cannot stress enough how bad the drone regions are for the mining profession

yeah but the discussion about drone region and drone alloys isnt this discussion.

The topic is very relevant to your proposal OP as it discusses the ideas behind improving mining yields or redistribution of minerals. Which since your idea suggests improvement to yields with a capital mining ship should be of interest to you.

The increase of price following the buff will attract more miners-to-be and the price will eventually lower as the demand is sated, then miners will leave as it becomes less lucrative, then they will be drawn back as it gets more expensive.........

yes, drone region can farm minerals with normal capital ships in large number, but the rest of new eden doesnt.
so if you want to discuss this, make a new topic or join the old topic. this topic is for this ship and how it can be very usefull

Though we have yet to see this supposed shift in behaviour which ideally was the reson for the change in the first place, granted I will let time run it's course, but the interesting shift in mineral prices is of note.

Doesn't address the added inflation due to increased bounties or the idea of removing resource possibilites form other areas of space regardless of how slight they are though.

However, I cannot deny the theoretical improvement that drone poo removal can shift to improve mining possibilities.

However, at the moment I'm simply capatalising on this with the combined efforts of the Hulkageddon influence, since as a result of something going on in the market, certain mineral prices and mining/hauler prices are increasing. It is certainly one to watch however, especially if it significantly starts to effect goods prices generally in the market as a result.

it wont inflict the market that much since it will require alot of hauling to get it to highsec. the only market that will be effected is the local markets in nullsec. but tbh every nullsec corp/alliance will prob use this ship to get people farm minerals for them so that they dont have to haul them from highsec with a high chance of getting popped.
it also gives miners a chance to get into nullsec without having to spend ages training combat skills while they dont want to

In which case I'd see it as a significant imbalance in the game and the risk/reward model. As you are then not only heavily skewing yields but moreso in certain areas and making it easier or less risky to do so theoretically as I imagine is your intended design.

its a capital mining. its easily gankable and if all nullsec corps have one, will will balance itself. but good luck discussing the ow so worthy subject about drone region because you seem to like that more. i will stfu now and repost it tomorrow
