Not a single serious incursion group would allow a pilot into fleet without being in comms, for at the very minimum people doing that stuff need to be listening to the FC or everyone gets killed because some twit starts shooting up a J tag. > [@Sasha\_Nemtsov](#): > > I think CCP has said in the past that they do want solo play to be viable - though they avoided providing further detail.

All solo gameplay is viable if you pay the $15 a month and are happy with doing the activity sub optimally. > [@Sasha\_Nemtsov](#): > > The problem has always been that if you make things too easy for solo players, others will pile in and game the mechanics to hell and back.

Just drop your ore in jetasoned containers then undock your orca warp to it compress and take back swap to your mining ship. ---

It’s not necessarily a bad idea. Where’s the downside? ---

> [@Eloken\_Toralen](#): > > Maybe this is the way, maybe there should be a destroyer sized mining boost ship? There are. All Command Destroyers can be outfitted with Mining Foreman Bursts and some Guns/Drones against the spawning NPCs so the Barges/Exhumers can use MiningDrones. Works perfectly well and does cost around 80M ISK, much less than a Porpoise. One could also use a Gnosis as MiningBoost Platform, that one would be even more powerful and cheaper, just not as small and fast. ---

Its sickening watching a bunch of high security industrialists crawl over each other 1 ISKing items into the ground. Rather than move into work with a healthy profit margin there is this expectation that the game require changes to make the chosen profession worthwhile. ---

As a profession, high-sec mining does suck though. You can literally make more ISK doing almost anything else. Even distribution missions pay better. Abyssals « Incursions « L4 Burner/Blitzing « L4 « L3 « L2 « Spinning in Station « Miining ---

“Sickening”? I’m so sorry. Please show us on the doll where the highsec miner touched you. We’ll send 100 Catalysts right away to gank them. ---

Mining is pretty ■■■■ in general. Unless you’re getting high level boosts in line with -50% mining cycle, you’d get way more ISK from ratting in a 150% bounty system. ---

Hmm. Can’t complain about NinjaGneiss Mining in JSpace. It returns nice ISK if you don’t get disturbed and a nice thrill if someone tries to catch you. ---
