I actually think the composite roids are simpler... if you just want to mine out the belt, you target and mine, get a mix of rocks, etc. But, if you CHOOSE to focus on a particular ore, you can spend the effort and survey it out and get what you want.
Antoher side affect of this is most of the composite roid ideas, since the belt can get some flavor by roid composition, instead of field make-up, can be reduced in overall rock count. This would 1: reduce lag, which everyone likes, and 2: reduce laser switching, which is also cool as hell. |

Anything the works to break and render useless the painfully easy to make macro miner programs is a great advance in Eve. This would, imo, bring in a new age of "PvP" with mining actually being a competitive and profitable corp effort rather than a lone random character named "Kissmoon235" or some such just moving back and forwards, belt to station all day. |

Edited by: Ikserak tai on 15/01/2009 16:49:15 There doesn't seem to be any mention of mining changes in Apocrypha, just the wormholes and T3 ships. Maybe this whole mining changes concept has been delayed until??

As Torfi says HERE, mining changes are in the backlog and will come eventually, just not in M10 / Apocrypha.
Balance is important, but you will always adapt to changing circumstances and you don't whine about stuff you can't change. |

Warrio. The day this turns into WoW in space where you have to be with a group of people to get anything done in game is the day I quit Eve. Where would we be without miners providing the ore that builds your pew pew ships? |

Personally I would have no problem with most of the changes. It would however cut down on me sitting on my ass on the other side of the room watching TV and popping over every 20 mins or so to empty my cargo of ice. When I am mining like that I don't really find mining boring cause I'm not paying that much attention tbh. but again its not that profitable as it has to be in safe space and all that
Anyways my only real concern would be when this is implemented what new skills would be needed by people who are currently at the top of the mining game or close to it? The thoughts of having to start specialising in a load of scanning skills and having to ring them up to level 5 to get good at is would be a nightmare really.
I like the idea of the best fields being hidden, would make space more secure for miners when it comes to Pirates (but then again they can just start learning the scanning skills and poof there they are harassing you again). My theory for this and they way one could avoid random pirates from easily harassing the general mining pop is that you make these skills not actual skills at all but simply abilities that the ship already has. The better the barge or Exhumer the better the ability.
I would like this as dealing with Rats in low sec space in my hulk is quite easy with the right fittings so I would most certainly look forward to it as long as it does not make us miners and indy ppl spend months learning new skills --------------------------------------------------
Do it today, tomorrow it might be Illegal :D |

Seems like they have a few good ideas, but the main focus of the next update will be to entice people to the fun and exciting universe of EVE - not the semi afk mining universe of EVE...
Look forward to seeing some of the changes at a later date though.
