IS ccp removing all alloys from the game or simple stoping them from been drop. Because i have an decent number of alloy atm and some people believe that ccp are going justed remove them from the server i would like too know so i could avoid losing the alloys and so i could tell my allaince too refine them if ccp is just removing them from game

i have also tons but ccp would never just remove them from the game. that would create such an uproar, they couldn't handle it...

ccp have done it in the pass with modules so looking for them too respond too my topic

Nothing will happen to them

Will alloys be a PI manufacturing item now?

What does one reprocess to get alloys? How do they get into the player circulation?

Alloys (for now) drop as loot from rougue drones, they are then refined into minerals - this annoys miners as you can get more minerals by shooting stuff than actually mining.

Perhaps ( and i'm just making this up, but it looks feasible ) the alloys will be found in rings.

Rings are something CCP is working on ( if you've seen the 2012 fan fest video ), they are the rings around some planets and CCP is thinking about and working on something to mine those rings.
So perhaps the alloys will come from there in the future.

Again, I'm not sure, but it looks very much realistic to me.

Yes I know that, so the only source for this post patch is miners? What rocks is that gives the alloys? Are they low/null/wsec only or highsec too? Can the alloys be made from PI or reprocessing existing items?

Just another asteroid belt closer to the planet..

So RINGS as you put it, could be integrated with PI, and also thus forcing alloy miners to interact and risk with Dust. Otherwise it becomes another botting story in another belt around a planet.

If it is tied to planets, then it SHOULD be PI only, not ship mining. perhaps a PI ring miner activity installation.

They quite clearly stated at FanFest (and in the videos) that the Rings will more than likely be a source of Technetium to a degree.

They say NOTHING about alloys, which were a horrible mistake they are finally admitting.

This man obviously did see the video ( or was at fan fest ).
However, they were not sure yet, what the ring mining would do, they are still debating it, so that's why i stated that it could be alloys even though it doesn't look like it now, it could still be feasible.

I just wana know what the sources of Alloys are, i don't care how much knowledge you have or ego or what not.

How do they get into the market.

They come from killing drones.

Players put their refined alloy minerals on the Market, not the alloys themselves.

You did ask.

I would prefer they are a PI activity if they are not, I don't know.

I want no more risk-free mining or whatever. Everything should have a risk, nothing should be bottable for long periods or unattended for long periods of time.

When I see a ship or some activity in space, I want a PLAYER behind it. Where else would I get tears or any form of response?

According to the back-story, these alloys are mined by the rogue drones, as a base material to build new rogue drones.
Humans however, have not yet found a way to mine these particular asteroids.

The asteroids that are mined, are sometimes seen in mission complexes, or gas cloud site's.

They look like giant split asteroids, with a blue, green, purple etc etc color crystal like substance inside


O and i don't have an ego, or claim to know better, you just responded in a way that looked like you knew better.

I know they come from drones today.

I mean POST patch, they won't come from killing drones.

This thread is about the after PATCH, not today. *facepalm*

They will either be taken out of the game, or come from new mining technique's, which allow us to mine those rocks i was talking about in the previous post.

But that is also something we can't know for sure, it's all speculation from here.

If it is tied to planets, stick it in as a PI activity.

That will add more stuff to planets, which shows up in dust, which brings the risk of being destroyed in dust, and thus the installation, no?

I haven't a clue what Dust will do to PI, but i suppose it's only lowsec and null, that will be Dustified, since i don't think the factions would be thrilled if their planets get owned by players.

They wong drop in the game anymore after the patch. IE you CANT GET THEM
