Right now people are obsessed with Mega Nodes just mining them out of a hex and moving on. By all means have variable amounts of ore per hex - all for that - just remove the huge single nodes in a hex so that folks actually have to move around a little and mine out the different kinds of ore. For whatever reason there is some bizarre idea that because there are less mega left nodes on Alioth the ore has run out and this is just crazy.
Mega nodes give an unhealthy resource focus - kill them all!!
Once we get automated mining this will be especially important.
I started off getting recruited by a mining guild. The owner took me to a mega and paid me 1mil to stand there for an hour and mine. Personally I love the Megas. Big guilds can mark them and find them easily because of their size and you can get a massive haul as an org in one go. Or be able to pay a newbie to sit and click for an hour to get some good money to start the game.
