Originally by: Shintai 0.0 wont get mega veldspar roids. CCP dont want 0.0 to be 100% self supplied. They want empire to rely on 0.0 and vice versa.
If you live in 0.0 and if you need empire tritanium to survive youre doing something really wrong... The 0.0 regions what I have seen has dozens and again dozens belts filled with Veldspar and nobody mining them... Not to mention the mineral income from ratting loot.
If you live in 0.0 and you're mining Veldspar then you are doing everything wrong. Close your account + sell your PC, it's time you stopped playing all games.

1) No region can be independent mineral wise (including moons). 2) Hisec, lowsec, and 0.0 all spawn different minerals (only exception being exploration sites). 3) Remove loot from missions except named stuff and reduce the drops. Remove rogue drones. 4) ... 5) Profit!
For point one, you are totally wrong. Some regions out there are completely independent mineral wise..including moons. Others are horribly skewed the other way. |

I am not claiming to be an expert in the subject of lowsec mining but here is one thing I do know about. Supply and demand, and convoy logistics. This puts real life into this game. If you need to get your supplies to your troops in the front lines of a war you need to keep convoys going. To keep them going you need to provide safe passage or risk losing your supplies to the enemy. This holds true in a war or in EVE. If you transport a load of rare ore alone you take a greater risk getting it to where you need to go. Add a couple of scouts and some cover for your freighter and you get the supplies to the destination at less risk. This takes more effort, more people, more planning and more man hours. Same as in real life. This is and should be part of a game with the scope that EVE has. CCP has done a good job in this department.
Now with the S&D. If you could get a profitable amount of common ore out of low sec or 0.0 then why would you need to inport any empire ore into 0.0? Why would you take the time to get a convoy into empire for the ore that you can just get out of your back yard? You wouldnt. Then why would you bring rare ore into Empire if 0.0 is totally self sufficient? You wouldnt. That will increase the prices of rare in empire to the point where no one can touch it. Who profits from that? No one. Decrease the supply to the point of non existance in one market then you hurt your own profit in your market as well due to no demand, everyone can get what they need. So in order to have balance CCP enabled more common ores in empire, some rare in low sec, with common as well and less common more rare in 0.0 to keep the economic balance. This keeps the highsec and lowsec economies running smooth.
Now we just need to get politicians, and the oil companies to understand these concepts together and we can fix the messed up economy in the world here today. Give the people the basic supplies at a reasonable cost (ie. fuel for cars and heat) so that they can earn extra income to buy the homes and luxuries that we all crave. Increase the cost of living (ie. The cost of fuel to get to your job) and your disposable income goes down, therefore you dont spend on luxuries and the rest of the economy fails around you. One or two people get rich for a short period of time but that too changes when the economy falls into a depression. (look at the real world today and you will see this. It has taken 6 years to come to a head and here we have it). It wont matter how much you charge for an item if you dont have any one to buy it. Everyone loses
