Mogul Financial has started expansions into highsec, as well as low sec moon mining. So far we have 60 moons in highsec extracting, and a dozen moons in lowsec. We have two systems slated for our first expansion, set up so there will be a new field every day on 30 day cycles. You can view more details here: https://moons.eve-mogul.com/#/upcoming
**OLD POST - STILL RELEVANT **
I’ve just finished putting up a dozen Athanors in the lowsec system of Basgerin, they’re set on weekly moon timers and are completely free to the public to mine. This is more of a trial run, to see if interest takes off but if there is interest we are happy to expand our holdings to the rest of the moons. We have already set up buy orders in system for the ores if you are not able to reprocess and utilize the materials.

This lists the day it comes out, and what materials to be expecting.
About Basgerin:
Basgerin is a lowsec island, meaning it’s surrounded by highsec. It was once inhabited by Mercenary Coalition, who have recently moved away and gifted their Keepstar to Sixth Empire ran by Max Singularity the space pope. The in-system Sotiyo has been put under EVE-Mogul’s control as well and we are looking forward to expanding the already abundance of features the system has to offer. In system there is also a reaction/refining Tatara, as well as a t2 ore refining Athanor to service the sotiyo. More info about EVE-Mogul structures in system here: https://citadels.eve-mogul.com/?system=Basgerin
As always, entering lowsec has its risks. EVE-Mogul will do it’s best to ensure safety for it’s consumers but there are limits to what we can do.
How would you propose doing that? I’m not expecting a full-scale combat fleet sitting there watching miners mine, but what could EVE-Mogul do to help ensure the idea of safety?
Honestly, I’d probably bring a bomber out there, just to have a look around. It’s nice to see a corp sharing in moon mining operations, though. Especially since there’s no moon mining in wormholes.
EVE-Mogul will operate on a NRDS policy there, and if the demand requires it we can start to hire defense forces working under the same engagement strategy. I’m almost positive that the Sixth Empire who control the keepstar operate under the same manner.
We’ve also had our first successful moon cracking! I’ve seen a few ventures out there having their way with the rocks
Well, my first dive into low sec mining went about as well as expected. Took a venture because I was pretty sure I was going to die. And, not to be let down, I did in fact get my ship blown up. He was in a hound so I would like to think he was cloaked waiting for me, but it is entirely possible I just missed him warping in. Oh well.
I was waiting for this, I was absolutely sure that because it was put up in the forums that the fecal matter wouldn’t be far behind, mining in low sec is a waste of resources in my opinion, besides mining Veldspar you can just sell and buy the ore you want, or minerals, but going to low sec is like going to a ghetto with the latest footwear on…someones gonna jack you for it.
I’m curious to take a look at the moon mining process but I don’t know that I’ll be a regular player. The cat-and-mouse of mining in low/null as an independent just isn’t that much fun for me for what it delivers.
To be clear, I take no issue with game design, and I’d be fine with CODE clearing all Eve of all players if they could.
It’s the bouncing in and out of tether to escape in exchange for theoretically more valuable ore that is…boring.
But, maybe I can change and I love what @Jeronica is doing with this idea.
Thanks! If you have any recommendations for us as well, we are very open. This is new territory for everyone, and no one can think of everything.
Just an FYI to people, tomorrow basgerin’s highest value moon will be coming out.
It contains these ores:
Chromite - 10,585,458.00 / hour
Cinnabar - 17,060,682.60 / hour
Pollucite - 21,658,936.50 / hour
The isk/hour shown is a t2 venture(before refine/selling), mining 18km3 per hour.
