Vince Snetterton Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 35	Posted - 2012.04.01 15:18:00 - [1] - Quote I am too dumb / too lazy to find the info on it. Did CCP say that the moon goo will be in random location spawns, or in static locations, like an asteroid belt?

Mortimer Civeri Aliastra Gallente Federation 32	Posted - 2012.04.01 15:27:00 - [5] - Quote From what I gathered you may have to scan down the ring, but you also have to use an asteroid scanner, to scan out where the goo is in the ring, as it will be in random rocks in the ring. That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.-á Friedrich Nietzsche That which does not kill you, hurts like hell.-á UNKNOWN

So don't worry about it. Mr Epeen Me too!-á I ate one sour, too!
Danfen Fenix Vita Aequitas Veritas The Paganism Alliance 45	Posted - 2012.04.01 16:11:00 - [7] - Quote Iirc, it would be random within the ring/belts themselves, but appear in 'veins'. Scan down a rock with it in, then another, then another, and you could be pretty sure you've found a string of rocks with it in, that you can follow until it stops, then find a new vein. Almost kinda like Battleships, but with mining, and the rocks dont shoot back.

Msgerbs Aliastra Gallente Federation 20	Posted - 2012.04.01 16:33:00 - [10] - Quote So moons are now completely pointless. Nice.

I would imagine they will have to identify certain celestials to have stable rings to explore for these purposes to find random sources. But again it's still mere speculation based on realism of current understanding of astronomy. This feature has only really been dicussed by CCP at the concept stage so far, no real fleshing out of specifics as yet. Bounty Hunting for CSM7 It's just criminal - Smuggling

I don't recall them stating that moon's would be supplanted. I also don't recall them stating that roid belts would be going away but would be cool if they did. Will be a nice change so my miners don't go AFK and get themselves killed anymore. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX!

I was working under the assumption that this change goes live with Inferno. If it is just at a concept stage, then we are looking at winter release, at the earliest.

Aww, but they're so cute when they have their first 50 man fleet of rifters with a few thrashers. Take all the tech Build all the titans Drop all the POSes Bees incoming, nerf ERRYTHING ERRYDAY
Tobiaz Spacerats 105	Posted - 2012.04.01 21:57:00 - [18] - Quote CCP thought Mass Effect 2 was awsum, so they decided o steal the idea and apply it to planetary rings. Thus applying a boring mechanic to a ridiculous concept. Why are all the fanboys drooling over the concept of mining planetary rings anyway? It are only rocks of ice the largest a few metres across but most of it you can put in your glass and pour whiskey on. If you want to mine that crap, you'll have more use for a butterflynet strapped to your ship then something else. http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Tobiaz/sig_complaints.gif How about fixing image-linking on the forums, CCP? I want to see signatures!

Tanya Powers Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 971	Posted - 2012.04.01 22:08:00 - [20] - Quote Msgerbs wrote: So moons are now completely pointless. Nice. No, you need them to set your pos AND to ring mining, but you can't do it any more without effort. You have to do it with an Hulk or some dedicated ship from now on. The good thing is that you don't have to do it you can sit in a station and trade witch is undoubtedly the only game segment you don't have to put whatever effort in training. You can but you don't have to. It's also the part of the game with the lowest to none fee once you've trained some skills (goes really quick) and 0 risk. So why are you wining about moons?
DarthNefarius Minmatar Heavy Industries 121	Posted - 2012.04.02 02:47:00 - [21] - Quote Msgerbs wrote: So moons are now completely pointless. Nice. I hope the Moons for the most part stay the same & have not heard they will be otherwise. Hopefully the ring mining mechanics though will add more goo to the markets & supplement the stocks to a much smaller extent... now how/when will nano ribbons monopoly be wrestled from W-space? And Caesar's spirit, raging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war,That this foul deed... -á
Verocity 8 Virtues 11	Posted - 2012.04.02 02:58:00 - [22] - Quote Greyscale specifically stated that he would rather have you and 9 friends mine moon goo than have large alliances treat it as an "ATM" for ISK. What I took away from this was no more minerals in the moon for a POS to vacuum. Manual effort in the form of mining will be required.
