Sub-surface mining wasn't removed because of realism, it was removed because it left a million abandoned mining tunnels running through all the planets and the data-storage/loading was becoming an issue. Surface rocks are ugly though, and it would be nice if they'd trim them down a lot (perhaps cut the number down to a 10th and make 'em give that much more ore and take longer to harvest to compensate?)

 

OK that's an argument.

 

But I also have an idea for that you could do underground mining in your own instance. So you have to place an element in your territory which gives you access to your own underground area, e.g. in a 1km depth.

 

This item could be an elevator, teleporter to its mine shaft.

 

So this does not have to be calculated for anyone else and thus the world itself is relieved and there are still ores underground.

SPECIAL RULES FOR MARKETS 

A modified version of IAR will be used on Aphelia territories, including all market zones.

Regardless of whether or not the owner is an active subscriber, all constructs on Aphelia territories are subject to IAR. As soon as a player exits their construct in Aphelia territory, a 168-hour (seven-day) abandonment countdown will begin for that construct. This is considerably shorter than the default IAR timer. Once that countdown reaches 0, the construct will lose its ownership. A new countdown timer of 48-hours (two days) before deletion will start ticking.

 

In my opinion, it would be better if, for example, active subscribers had an automatic compacting function after 7 days, which stores the ship in a storage facility at the spaceport/market and then rent or a deposit is due.

 

And for this automatic compacting function on the market, the actual limits (container, mass, number of engines, etc.) do not apply, which are otherwise only so that you don't take the fattest parts with you in your pocket.

And the ship can only respawn at this market where it is storaged! 

 

If the subscription expires while the ship is in storage, it could e.g. also be auctioned after a short time later.

I think the Demeter update is going in the right direction, especially the autominig is just right.

 

But I think they should have removed the surface ores rather than the subsurface.

 

The surface looks ugly and, above all, unrealistic through all these clumps of ore.
In addition, searching / scanning and farming the ores under the surface just felt more real!

 

I would be really happy if this is revised again.
