So, you’re a 200 yr old skinny woman with small boobs and dentures? 🤣 Sorry, but this is the EVE forums, so I just had to. I do like the artwork though! Sadly, I do not have any artistic talent. When I look at the Mona Lisa, all I see is a 😏 from a woman who is going to some as soon as she can remove her corset. 😆 ---

Do NPC miners actually drop and reprocess their ore? I think at least two NPC mining ships should return their ore and then process it, then to market it goes. ---
