Hey,
I am reasonably new to the forums. Kinda new to EVE as well. But knowing a little bit abuot economics... some of these cahnges are good but some are also bad. The fact you can mine 50% more from your time or effectively knock out the use for a hauler did it occur to people that there would suddenly be this MASSIVE influx of minerals, fields would be empited alot more often and quicker, basically the fields refresh and within 1 hour a 8 field system would be empty down to the last veldspar roid. The influx of ore would drop prices of ore which would drop prices of minerals.
Basic economics, more supply doesnt generally mean more demand, there would be a surplus of ppl selling Trit for 2.0ISK a piece but due to time factors now it is economical to sell your trit for 1.0 or less quite easily and make a profuit on your time. Same deal goes for things like Zyd or Mega, what u currently pay 4000 for in 0.0 could effectively drop down to 3500 or less.
Cheaper minerals would make ship production costs less and to start with create a huge profit margin for producers but eventually they would need to sell a tonne of ships to keep their POS's running. A Dominix in 0.0, priced by MINC, would have cost me just under 10,000,000isk with bringing my own minerals. So with the new price drops according ot that i could get a new domi for about 40million isk, 30% below the current cost.
As I said I am reasonably new to the game but this is just basic economics. Basically by making mining quicker and easier things would just gradually fall apart. Currently its at a nice level.
the onyl thign I can honestly thing of changing is the JetCan system and maybe introduce a decent sized security container primarily built for mining. Make it only haulable by a mining barge so it is only fo the dedicated miners. As far as i know the biggest security containter so far is about 3500? i think :S
Just thought I would add my 2c's. I am currently building up a miner and am reading through a ny thing that can help me so this was quite a useful thread :)
Another single benefit I would like is, oh i dont know a miner with armor? you know oen that CAN handle a hit, surely a mining barge would have armor against asteroids!!!! Just a though, or atleast a few extra low slots and maybe a bit extra PG to install a Med to Large Repairer.
Slightly larger drone bays would be beneficial as well just the ability to house 5 Heavy Drones would be enough, im not greedy but agani it kind of makes sense, one should be able to mine by themself. you can rat alone, u can mission alone u can do any combat alone ni 1 ship y shoudlnt you be able to mine alone in the same ship??
