> [@Aaron](#): > > Have you even bothered to consider mineral prices will now rocket sky high due to the blackout? In my opinion mining is still profitable, whatever minerals you can mine will be worth more. First of all, what drives mineral prices is not just supply, it’s also demand. They will probably increase because now it’s supercarrier under umbrella, or bust. But they will be mined in other space, not nullsec, so I don’t see how your point is relevant. ---

> [@Lugburz](#): > > nah, ive seen people do it, your bombers will not be max skilled and most are rarely tanked. Properly piloted bombers will orbit with prop mods on, then when they get locked they align out and should warp if they get drone aggro. then the drones have to move to the next one, if the mining ships are individually piloted then they will be effective, if not no. It is not exactly difficult, I normally have a shield extender. If the bomber players are smart tackle Astero’s work really well. ---

you dont get properly piloted bombers, you get people that can fly them; but rarely do. even most of the people on bombers bar ops dont have a clue and have sub par skills. I know lots of folks that can fly a bomber, few can use t2 torps. I know even more that can fly an interceptor but have no idea what sling shot or spiralling is… hell half dont even know about tracking ffs - and these are the people screaming for safety in null. Its not safety they need. Its better understanding of the game. ---

> [@Aaron](#): > > I for one will seriously enjoy getting in my prospect and mining in nullsec with the blackout in effect. You see, how much a barge/exhumer can tank is irrelevant to me as I know how to adapt. You do understand you’ll be getting less than in hisec doing this, meaning the space you will mine in is literally less worth than hisec? ---

If they’re going to take away local, could they at least give us an audible alarm for the overview? (Some of us have to deal with the occasional real-life interruption.) ---

I know I will regret asking, but I do not understand what you’re trying to say. He said he will “adapt” by eating ■■■■ in a ship not worth ganking. I suggested that eating ■■■■ is bad for him and maybe he should think twice before doing it. And then your comment didn’t make any sense… ---

> [@Rik\_Jembatin](#): > > If they’re going to take away local, could they at least give us an audible alarm for the overview? (Some of us have to deal with the occasional real-life interruption.) you can configure your shield/armor/hull alarm thingy for that if you want it audible. if you mean you want alarm if something happens on grid because your cat or whatever wanted attention and you can’t look at it. Then just dock up/cloak before you take care of it. ---

There’s an audible cue when someone comes out of warp, too. That won’t help for cloakers, though. ---

I would like an audible alarm to go off when a hostile shows up in the overview, just like in sci-fi movies and books.
