Yeah, I'm very adept at filtering out bad opinions, especially those who dance around their true motives and try to talk down to me.

 

You should definitely try operating a PvP ship some time. We have people who go through, quite literally, thousands of warp cells and hundreds of kL fuel a day checking asteroids, often with nothing to show for it. In some ways, PvE getting an operational tax is just catching up to the game PvP players have been used to since beta started.

As for complaints about the majority of asteroids being in the pvp zone, you do have another option. NQ said they are adding more safe zone asteroids, so now you simply need to race to them when they spawn. Additionally, half the pvp asteroids on any given week go completely undiscovered, and those that are discovered rarely have anything below t4 mined out of them. There is plenty of ore on these asteroids for those who are organized, driven, and ready to take the risk for the greater reward.

So I am super confused here mate. How is it there is TONS of ore available in these asteroids and yet 4 hours later you are claiming that you have people wasting tons of fuel searching asteroids for nothing to show for it?

I haven't seen anything speaking of it so maybe someone can help me out. Currently I can mine on a tile that is unowned. It appears that mining bots need to be placed on a static construct. Does that mean I can only mine on owned/claimed tiles?? Does this not create a barrier to entry to go mining, one of the most basic entry level activities of the game?
