Mining Changes Ideas

EVE Technology and Research Center Player Features & Ideas

Why not make part of the new mining changes involve effectively astroid storms that move around new eden like other storms, maybe less direct gate to gate and more just light year directional. maybe their is a bunch with different minerals and mechanics ect and maybe they require either a probe ship to find or the alliance sov structures/modules to identify a storm is in area and where the belts are.

I think this would add not only to the simulation aspect but also gameplay and encourage more intermingling, conflict and resource specific conflicts. It would also help empowerr small alliances and corps again as they would not be specific to just null and they would have to still be scanned down. It could also add some roles like storm trackers and since its light year based as though these are massive interstellar astroid belts people could narrow down where some of the storms might be. There could be a totally new storm spawn in and even and end to the storm at some point once so much has been mined ect. Having some that are minerally dense of one or two irtems could also add some fun excitement. Best part is this could be add discretion of ccp devs/dungeon masters to help encourage scarcity periods or periods of abundance and conflict.

Not my idea - I just know it’s been one suggested for years and years…

Have you looked at the existing Exotic Matter storms?

This particular storm not only has mining boosts but also spawns additional asteroid anomalies in a storm that moves around New Eden like other storms. Isn’t that what you’re asking for?

Guessing these don’t occur in high-sec…

I am thinking more widespread, and smaller overall, without all the other effects of the storms, especially in the face of them trying to correct the equinox disaster. I would think of them more like large independent roaming asteroid belts that don’t advertise they are in a constellation and move faster as current storms are kind of broken and include hs more regularly.

It feels weird and convoluted to me to add a new asteroid storm with different mechanics when roaming storms already exist, including an asteroid storm.

I think the edges of the storm can seep into high sec when the center of the storm borders it?

Anyway, it’s a good opportunity to venture outside your comfort zone!
