Yeah I know I'm going to be posting about roids, but what you expect?
Look at it from the perspective of a returning player like myself. 2 years ago I didn't have any real issues finding a roid to mine in any system. Now their like rocking horse turds, or the size of a rocking horse turd.
It seems CCP have dealt all miners a an ace card at the same time as kicking them in the teeth. When I played last, server population was breaking records at 21,000. they were just releasing the ORE ships, and everything looked good for miners.
Now the server reaches 34,000 almost everyday, and the hulks which **** the covetor are in game. Yet the roids themselves have not had any loving, or that's how it seems. Too many of the belts in high sec are gone or as good as gone. I've gone round after down time and scanned some of the belts that were not there before DT. and the roids which have spawned are giving me the same numbers back as I saw when I was in my uber Osprey.
So whats the deal? increase server population by like 50%. And the power of mining ships by a good 400%, but keep the roids spawning at the same rate. I do honestly think the roid re-spawn values need a review. I would say maybe an increase of 200% on popped roids would be a fair and reasonable response to the current climate in game. and for roids that haven't been popped but are still standing maybe 250%.
Lets be honest more and more people are joining the game, or so it seems. So the infrastructure is going to break, there is more and more demand. But the less and less raw materials as every day goes by.

95% of null sec roids are not mined at all, go there.

Even low sec had a decent number of roids when I last looked. Sure, that would mean having to actually defend yourself, but they are there. And all the pirates are gathering in FW areas.

Expand your area, you can find plenty of good belts in empire if you look.

Agreed, there are a metric shed load of roid fields about, just by using the in game filters you can find them via the players in solar system. You can also get some nice quiet spots in low sec, just take the time, be willing to haul arse and find them.

increasing the roidsizes is more then just adding more ore in them. If they were to do that, then prices on minerals would drop even more then they already have.
I have no trouble finding any roids to mine. We set up our HQ in a system with 12 belts and 1 ice belt, and there is always roids to mine. Even in a hulk. Altho some times there isn't enough for 1 complete cycle per roid, but then I just mine something else that is useful.
I think you should get a fast ship, equip a survey scanner and do a tour of the nearby systems and you will find plenty of belts to mine. No need to go to low or nullsec either.

There is no point in mining in low sec as you can make as much profit in high sec. Nevermind the risk in low sec is greater than 0.0 for mining. Low sec needs boosted badly.

Please go to low or null sec, I know by telling you this I will be hurting my chances of finding a roid in the future but please, adventure to low sec and let the high sec roids time to spawną
