Can CCP do anything with the hi-sec ice mining bots

Communications Center General Discussion

In this particular case:

  1. Effort in searching and scanning for mining sites
  2. Ore or ice

And the element of skill should have been added to ice mining for example. Like randomly building up gasses inside comet chunk when mining, so it will give a counter beside chunk, and then the mining have to be halted to decompress, if not, than that comet chunk explodes and kills drones and damages ship. There should be sweet point when balancing mining with switching targets is optimal resource gathering.

The devs are for that in this game anyway, I will not give them more ideas, let them think for a moment, they are paid for that not me.

Also I think the asteroid belts should be removed completely and only scannable sites existing for mining.

  1. Effort required was minimal
  2. You got your ice/ore reward. And still do, now you just open Agnecy and warp. Before it was open scannertron, scan, warp.

Woo, that whole one step removed has made it so much more bot friendly and awful for players? Really?

BTW here’s one of those “23/7” sites the OP mentions, this one in Abudban

I wrote my proposition to make it better, and less bottable, together with mechanics of gasseous explosions. Whats yours proposition?

25

In what way? Better for who? And how is it less bottable?

And where are these bots?

Better for players, more interesting and giving the feeling of treading on minefield you have to disable while mining and gaining ice. A lot worse for bots.

The image you took, it doesnt mean anything, that they exist outside picture is completely obvious.

I would certainly be more interesting when someone comes into the belt and overheats their chunks to MAKE them explode.

Are you wanting the explosions to have 18+Km radia? Cos thats the only way it could actually affect anyone.

And why would an ice explosion even bother a Skiff or a Procurer?

The image I took disproves the OPs opening premise, i.e. the point of this thread.

It doesnt. CCP bans bots and they come back. You are not disproving that at all.
About the mechanics, I will leave it to CCP to bring their game to proper shape. Bother them.

Every means all and 23/7 means constantly apart from down time

There was no bot fleet there as of an hour and a half before downtime.

That you cant accept this fact is quite staggering.

You are only captious and nothing else. :roll_eyes:

Amasing in the blackout thread you have people arguing why Null should be safer than hi-sec and now we have people arguing that the rewards in hi-sec are to great and need to be nerfed.
Unbelievable.

You are unable or unwilling to answer simple questions about your idea, which was formulated to solve a problem suggested by a faulty premise.

My objections are not unfounded. The OP is hot air and your ideas dont seem well thought out or based on solid reason.

Ice is clearly part of the food chain and when you follow it…you get a better picture.

Aside from that little statement. There should be a change in general with reguards to high sec ice mining. bots are a big issue here. they are not always in every belt all the time but i can tell you that they are for a good portion or better part of the day. at least raise the respawn time to 12 hours if anything to limit this.
