Are Standard Ores returning to moon mining?

Industry Gameplay Center Mining & Extraction
#1

I were fooling around on SISI and started a moon extraction and noticed that some standard ores was expected in the output… Today I /moveme to J152820 and probed all the moons, every moon had at least 1 standard ore in the +15% version like Stable Veldspar… One example is the Planet VII - Moon 7 which was probed to have Brilliant Gneiss 0.21 - Chromite 0.22 - Jet Ochre 0.28 - Pellucid Crokite 0.29… Is this a SISI thing or could I have missed something, or could it be a sign for what is coming in the future?

It could be a bug, but it also could be a sign i guess?.

#3

It would be a very welcome change in my opinion, it’s not like you can’t get around the shortage by purchasing compressed X in highsec, but in the name of all those who liked to produce nearly everything from scratch inside their settled system, this would be a boon. I would’ve been happy with a tiny chromatic rock featuring those few minerals you need for gas reactions, but this would be even better!

Plus it’s not like the few pursuing that activity in w-space have much of a footprint on the market in the first place.

#4

It would be a great way to fix hisec moons that have been rendered useless, and to give an incentive to any moon miner. The prices of the goo have dropped in the 50-75% range within months.

Anyway I wouldn´t be very excited about it, there has been some reports previously of standard ore findings in moon pulsl on SiSi for a time and have not meant nothing. Maybe it´s a bug or maybe the last SiSi copy was before the ore change.

#5

CCP have told us to expect dynamic redistribution of resources. Randomly adding some standard ores that aren’t usually available in the region to a moon frack would be an interesting way to achieve that with relatively low development cost.

#6

I am starting to like how this could affect how systems are valued… It would add an extra dimension to the moons, so it isn’t only moon goo, but also if a system have access to unavailable ores for a given region… Could be a great conflict driver both for null.sec and high.sec, not really sure about low.sec and w-space…

But if it has to have some kind of Dynamic redistribution I am not really sure I see how that would fit in with moons… a Lootbox style system, so you get a random ore at Chunk detonation, does not sounds great to me…

#7

It would be nice if this was part of the dynamic resources, like a second type of jackpot. But with the scans shown, each moon has a high percentage of ore, so I assume it is a bug or bad roll-back.

#8

The moon thing seems to be a prank more than anything.

#9

Sisi never had the moon ore changes applied to it, so you’re looking at old data.

#10

I didn’t knew that the moon ore changes were never applied to SISI…
What a bummer, hoped to get some hints or clarity to what CCP has planned for resource harvesting…
Anyway, thank you for clearing this up for me =)
