Looks like we’re getting comet mining! aka “Gold Rush”. Looks like the Noctis may be getting some love as it’s prominently featured in the Legion trailer.
Remains to be seen what they do with this exactly.
It looks like they’ll potentially take care of the “random asteroid” request we’ve seen over and over. They featured a Noctis, so I’m optimistic it will be getting some love as well. Dual-role maybe? (they hinted at that earlier this year)
Look, any buff to mining to turn it from the current passive to a more active activity is a welcome change.
More active in the sense of repeatedly activating a module? I doubt that will be any good. I tried that on the Drifter Rifts … it is horrendously unengaging.
I got the sense that it would require more participation/interaction, but it’s hard to tell from the short video clip. Maybe they’ll have more details tomorrow - unless it’s slated for the Fall release in which case they’ll probably only lightly touch on it.

I sure hope that it’s better because the Drifter Rifts thing made me disengage from the activity instantly after one attempt.

One thing no one’s mention is the new Sov upgrades (4 in total). Gamma enhances shields/capacitor and Plasma armor/overheating. Did we just make null-sec safer for large alliances?
Probably. But is this related to comet mining? 
Sorry, no. I got sidetracked between threads… Although comets will probably be showing up in null-sec, so I guess that could yield an advantage.

Where did you see a comet? It looks more to be some sort of debris field after a battle with even more salvage.
I didn’t - unless one of the solar flares was an incoming comet.
