Just a quick fyi, the tooltip is bugged. It is a known issue (which I reported way before the patch hit but they did not bother to fix it yet)

Two things, 1- you need to rework the giant hitboxes on the new fat balloon looking asteroids. 2- now that we have the āpvpā wasting Crystalās, can we get a hi sec mechanic that causes a suspect timer when people not on our athanor docking list start trying to mine or waste our assets? As it stands there is no defense against these activities other than bumping or spending billions to have a ganker Corp hit them. A suspect timer would force the perpetrator of offensive mining to make risk choices and allow owners to defend assets without getting blasted by concord.

What was the moronic reasoning behind requiring skills in production for the new Industrial Core for the Orca thatās only used for fleet boosting and mining?

Iāve been thinking. Why donāt you try a mack. More yield than a skiff and comparable tank to an old skiff (just fit an LSE and a damage control).
Yield is less afk friendly. More overbites.
There are dozens of them! Dozens! Waiting impatiently on the edge of their seats for the last vet to leave the game. Then they will all rush in to do better.
30k to 20k average dive is actually 80-120k characters stopped playing. (10k char delta * 24 hours / 2-3 hours average gaming session)
4k daily average of new characters created should not give anyone false hopes, as Hilmar said there are single digits of those new characters keep playing after 6 months. Single digits out of 1 million characters created per year!

you added Residue to Gas Cloud Scoop aka old Gas Cloud Harvester. Why should i use the T2 once on Booster Gas? There are not unlimited Sites available. Was there too much Gas in the game?
There arenāt even crystals for them, so i can choose speed or yield.

And if mining, for instance, would be less affected by swarms of bot/alt accounts driving prices down, and emptying fields like robots then newer players who want to do mining wouldnāt have to be told āmining doesnāt pay well, Iād not botherā.
For every alt/bot army player with his 17 accounts that rage quits, it makes room for other players to actively play and fill that void.

Bots are not the people quitting, They donāt care how tedious or hard something becomes, they are bots. itās nothing to do them.

thanks for the tl;dr of the patch!
I was considering to resub my miner alts but I feel it is not worth the effort.
however, i see myriads of covetors in null, so looks like people kind of swapped their rorquals with an army of alts

On long cycle times a non attentive pilot will lose more time, sure. And bots donāt care, as usual.
As always, what I wrote was my very personal opinion, nothing more, but also as a paying customer nothing less. I also wrote that the mining performance (m3 per session, if you will) has gone up. If one can overcome the psychological curve ball ccp threw with the B crystals and the accompanying waste mechanic we were all promoted to bigger and better excavators. They do require more active presence.
Yup. And in hisec, the orcas seem to have vanished by the twelfth stroke at midnight and been replaced by Hulks. Iāve seen more hulks last night over 2 hours than I did in the past 2 years. Perhaps the scripts have already been adjusted 
I guess no compression for this patch yet 
That is the one thing I am excited about this patch
Itās delayed to 2022 because Iām general the player base was not happy with how it was being implemented.
Thereās an announcement in one of the forum threads

Why? how was it implemented?

Looks like itās not taking the crystal yield multiplier into account 
Will residue information be added to the Corporation Moon Mining Ledger at some pointā¦?
I didnt think youd misinterperate the Residue (still an inaccurate name but better than the utterly incorrect āwasteā).
Potential extra yield is what it is.
Whatās the downside? New mechanic or not there is more ore whichever way you cut it
