This may just be me but in the last few weeks it seems as if belts in Hi-Sec just don't have ore. Now I know some areas get mined out heavily for periods of time. I know this so I've spent the last 3-4 days exploring to try to find halfway decent belts. I can't find anything decent. The sentiment of miners who I meet is the same. WTF is going on? It's like the belts aren't even spawning. Now granted I haven't traveled everywhere in hi sec but its been the same wherever I have gone. Is this something others are seeing as well or is it just me?

Yes, I have noticed this myself since QR was released in my home system in the Kador region. Sometimes they do not respawn for 2 weeks. I was just thinking that with the holidays in the US, college students were out of school and mining during the day when I'm at work.
Yea, thats possible. Winter is coming so that always means more people on eve.

This..
...and 4 isk/pu tritanium isn't helping stabilize things either.
Yea, but is 4 p/u the cause of this problem or a result?

Smeck: First time I heared of that.
Afaik, the roids are supposed to respawn around twice a week, and grow over downtimes when they are not depleted. Which leads to huge rocks in systems that are never visited.
This is where the real bot problem comes in. In my home system, there are around 4-5 bots. They mine 23/7 no matter the roid size. This means that even small roids are totally annihilated. It does seem to lessen the rock spawns.

I have only been at this game for about two weeks and am adequately inexperienced in the mining field, however, I have flown some missions that contained a decent amount of large Veldroids and am wondering if it's worth the time / effort to track them down using this method.
I understand there may be a considerable amount of time between missions containing enough Veldspar, but when, if at all, does it compare to the time spent jumping from belt to belt, system to system in search of a decent haul?
I am also unsure about quantity, perhaps my mission mining method is only viable for fledgling miners and nothing more than a drop in the bucket for a larger strip miner.
Your absolutely right about this. I had forgot about this possibility until you mentioned it. Its quite possible to run Lvl 4s with some mining barges standing by. Obviously the problem is the frequency of missions in which there are large roids.
