The only miners who need APM are the gas sniffers in WH space. Realistically they don’t- the only reason they go AFK is because they mine expensive gas in a free Alpha ship that costs nothing to replace. And that’s perfectly fine. Yet if a HS miner goes 2 minutes without entering a command, it’s time to nerf all Exhumers and Mining Barges.
You’re funny! 
I’m not saying that mining should be high-APM.
I’m saying the game would benefit if miners could optionally pay more attention and put in more effort to obtain better yield. Optionally.
If you wish to AFK mine you still can, but someone else who does pay attention can earn more. Sounds fair?
I think that would make mining a lot more interesting for non-multiboxers.
No. EVE is a video game, if you want something to play AFK you should look at Cookie Clicker or Adventure Communist instead.
It is optional. I can opt to watch local, compress early, move ore into an Orca before the hold gets filled, etc. It is optional. I can do anything I want on my UI while my lasers are going. It’s better than drawing rectangles.
And we all know CCP would grant 1% at most (0% realistically). But if you want to grant a 50% or more increase in yield, you can give me as many APM as you want.
Just put the game to sleep if you alt+tab
I’m having the best of both worlds. Cookie Clicker runs in the background during mining…
i havent seen what u think about the changes to the surveyor integration and the mod rework to a passive mod that grants bonus to crit chance and reduce residue proc chance…
also not much about the new ships from u. the pioneer is actually super welcome, i m excited to try aar and metaliminals with it. the bigger ore hold also hlps with mining missions. it boggled my mind why i had to return to station to drop ore in a mining mission with a venture for l2 and 3 missions which are alpha lvl. in general i would have liked to see oreholds increased a lil across the board or reduce ore volume…
u seem to be a lil out of the loop regarding newer mining ops and some of ur suggestion are concerning.
Then you lack the ability to make informed suggestions on the game. That’s like taking investment tips from the homeless guy outside the broker’s office.
Don’t do anything that the homeless guy did.
You can run 1 hour of metaliminal with your venture, get 60m and buy 3 20k ships.
