So I noticed pretty much everything from ice belts to moon mining has been changed, but the same asteroid belts I first saw in 2009 and still here without what seems almost no changes (except for annoying and pointless npc miners which consume every belt in the system by the end of the day…)
Anyone know if there are any plans to change asteroid belts too?
With the grid now up to 3000km big it would be awesome to see asteroid belts actually look like asteroid belts and stretch a thousand km with massive chunks that take days to mine, but which do not respawn after every downtime.
These huge asteroid belts you are looking exist in null sec. It is considered mining anomalies which composes of many belts in system where high end ores are found and mined.
These belts are a balance of Risk vs Rewards, where you mine high selling ores in the expense of hostile players and hard to kill rats.
I would agree with the pointless NPC miners , not only do we have to contend with other players looking for ore. . but also NPC miners !! . . this is incredibly frustrating
and pointless except an attempt to drive up market prices by CCP ?. . .
I find it so funny, that everywhere miners are crying about the npc miners. In high sec, they are very easy to take down and remove from your system. It just requires using something else than a mining laser for once.
