Yep, that’s him.
So, solo high sec mining is dead.
And CODE didn’t even have to do a thing about it.
The NPC mining fleets are extremely easy to deal with. All you have to do is take a single shot at one of them, immediately warp back to a station and dock, wait for 2 minutes, then warp back to that same belt and they will be gone. It’s that easy…
I think you are confusing your statement with ‘Highsec mining is twice as profitable as before, since mineral prices are super high’
That mean, mine in WH, NullSec or LowSec and sell in HighSec.
With NPC’s cleaning out the belts in less than 1/8th of the uptime where else will you get your ore from?
Lowsec sure, Lowsec has great Ore.
WH & Null I believe are both Trit starved deliberately now.
And…
I’ll get it from the belts which are full, I undocked my more industrial character, warped to a few random belts, all full of ore?
No, it isn’t. Deal with the rats.
Solo… with a response fleet that is strong enough to kill a small gang.
yep and the response fleet is waiting there for you…
So you don’t even know it?
Sleepwalking?
No, it’s not. It takes 10 seconds for the response fleet to warp in to the belt once you attack one of the mining fleet ships. All you have to do is warp back to a station and dock up, wait for a few minutes, then warp back to the belt. I do it every single day…
well once i waited full 15 min and the response fleet was still there…so prove it…
Yes. Learn how to EvE.
Better yet; don’t play solo and find some friends to play with. It makes playing EvE a far better experience.
That’s not the way of a sandbox…in a sandbox EVERYTHING should be possible…and solo mining in a ret without being killed by npc that behave like gankers is clearly showing that ‘the sandbox’ is a dead fish that smells…
Or you just go and mine in systems somewhere else where there is plenty of ore.
It’s less than 2 hours before DT and I have full belts.
And can mine them in a retriever without being killed by NPC’s.
Those trig and even the annoying mining operation npc are EVERYWHERE dude and you know it…
They clearly aren’t since I have full belts in my highsec system.
And emerging conduits are not in every single system, they are in at most about 1 in 10 from the counts I’ve done. Sure that’s a lot and chances are they’ll come by sooner or later… so you move if they do come by and you can’t manage them.
Bollocks. There are rules, also in a sandbox.
No, it is not. You can “avoid” the rats. Only AFK miners get removed and that is good for the others who really play the game.
You KNOW dam well that roaming trigs are not bound to conduits…they can appear in every belt and,regarding to rumors, they even will appear in mission belts with the next patch…one more nail in ccp’s coffin if realized…
All evidence links them to emerging conduits in system. Or the last roaming squad no-one has bothered killing after the emerging conduits have despawned.
There is also no source for the rumours about them appearing in missions, there is literally a single player who has been spamming that rumour for months with no source, that ‘next patch’ it will happen, and there have been quite a few next patches since they started talking about it.
Not to mention basically any mission boat can kill them, they aren’t hard.
