for the amount of new things we can use and needs ice for we seem to still have a sparce number of ice belts in this game. as I noticed today playing a few hours after server reset they were all ready gone
Ice belts respawn exactly 6 hours after the last roid was popped. So, you have at least four opportunities to mine that belt every day.
Edit: Well, three opportunities depending on how long it takes to mine it out.
No need for more ice belts, there are plenty - if not too much! Some systems have 2-3 ice belts.
More ice belts
More ice
More ice mined
More ice sold
More ice bought
Ice price drops
Ice miners starve
What’s to be done?
More ice belts please!
You don’t need anything. Hush your mouth.
Plenty of ice belts huh???
Let’s just flood the market with MORE ice because this 1 rando said so driving down ice prices and then he will be back here crying ice is worthless.
OP needs to take an economics class.
Osmon usually has 3 ice belts. 2j away from Osmon there is another system with ice, Wuos. Are you sure that the game needs more? Just go there and mine with ore strips.
If you had been mining ice then there’d be more ice. Instead you decided to mine ore and get killed by :checks notes: an Impairor.
Oh what the OP means is he wants the old static belts back, FOREVER ICE!!
Ahhh yes the good ole days!
Even if they increase the amount of ice in the belts by 100 times, if they are all mined out because someone with 20 alts and 2 orcas and an obelisk can mine an ice belt in 30 minutes you will still be back here crying about how you came 3 hours later and all the ice is gone.
Find out when they spawn. Be ready. Go mine that ice. If others beat you to it, then thats your problem, not the game. First come, first serve.
Is that a joke? Ice prices are already abysmal, they need to revert the buff they made to the ice supply if anything
Please give me free isk just for logging in???
You talking about highsec or nullsec? Ice is already a subsidy for broke-backs in highsec from CCP as part of some welfare-state ideas they have. Its a free alternative to Athanor mining when you consider isk/hour and should not even be at the heights it is now; time and money wise. Fuk the welfare system of CCP to trash players which is nothing but an insult to better players who own structures now. How about players hold value in a real player driven economy? Since when is CCP dumping free ice-belts to all a good thing when it ruins the businesses of real players who want to compete? Player driven my ass.
But… you need more ice… why dont you solve this issue in a different way where CCP doesn’t FK up the entire game even more? Is it the weight? Whats the real problem? Why not get more without it expecting it to be provided (free and easy to you) at the cost of all? Why have you not done that?
Have you tried mining ice in another part of the universe?
Surely there must be less traveled areas with more ice.
Bummer I didn’t get a chance to read it…
hence why bot fleets destroy most ice belts within 45 mins of them spawning in high sec. every day, 24 hours a day except downtime.
But it is very player driven – go through Fraternity space, goon space, or nearly any other of the large alliance areas of Null and notice that there are 8-25 citadels in every system. None of them low power!
The demand for fuel blocks has never been higher, and it’s entirely player driven! Sure, the fuel is mined by bots, but the isk used to buy said fuel for the nullsec alliances is also gotten by botting ishtars, vexors, and the occasional gila! They have bots to farm isk to buy fuel to run the citadels, with sub-4 AU warps to the closest safe space to tether to when any non-blue enters system.
And with the easy high-sec and null-sec access to ice, the WH, Potchven, and lowsec ice may not even bother existing. What’s the point in actively watching local and d-scan for threats when you can afk/bot in absolute safety under a null umbrella or mostly relative safety in High Sec?
After all, when bot account holders complain about the same people suicide ganking them 10 times a week, CCP tells the gankers that what they are doing is harassment and have to stop or risk an account ban — otherwise the botters would unsub 10 out of their 12 accounts and only do stuff with their main accounts… and CCP tends to cave to the demands of the mass botter groups on every occasion, from blackout to whenever the chat/local servers have issues.
Unfortunately me neither, it was hidden even 2 hours after posted according to the display when I’ve came here last time so it must have been removed quickly. I really miss the old feature of being able to show hidden content. Not sure why it was removed.
Those bots accounts are all free btw. They do not support Eve with cash flow to devs. Thx for the smart reply btw, respect earned. What people do ( because CCP wants fake player accounts to report back to PA as if they have real customers) is just get 5m SP toons and then sell back the LSI to the market after 5m to pay for the next month of plex. Rinse and repeat… Free OMEGA bots, gank toons, wtfe you want. you want 30 free gankers to ■■■■up freighters? All free thx to CCP being total failures.
Every quarter they have to show “active account totals”… so they give free 7 days Omega…If you log in the New Eden Store to claim it. Why? Because they know people like me have over 30 accts, I know gys with over 400 toons all free and all Omega. It is truely insane that free bots are complaining and being heard and that CCP is too fkn dumb to know better and too fkn arrogant to pay attention to people who know more about eve than they do.
It was removed in a very deliberate update to the forums.
They removed the “view hidden content” due to a number of people filing complaints on behalf of others for stuff that really shouldn’t have been mod-flagged to be hidden in the first place.
So, naturally, they remove the ability to see what was censored so that there are less reports. The pro-censorship fascists that call themselves the opposite of what they are invade even these areas with their influence.
