Veldspar. Always has been the best ISK/hr ore, probably always will be. Always in demand, always in short supply. Easy to find, easy to mine, easy to get to market.
Chribba was preaching the truth a long time ago. If you want to mine ore for profit rather than for building stuff, just mine veld. Now that you can anchor compression arrays in hisec sysytems, you don't even need freighters to carry your ore any more; a Miasmos or two will do nicely. (But watch out for gankers! A Miasmos is a very tasty target when loaded with compressed ore.)

One thing about mining in null from a few years back when I was still living out there: those Spod rocks are huge and take forever to pop, but you have to do it in order to get the belt to respawn. Lousy ore, boring work, Spod was why it sucked to be a miner in null.

I can see why you couldnt even cut it a s a renter. So your solution to counter the lower income from the nullsec ore is to go mine in the regular belts, where the rocks are alot smaller, so less isk/hour, warping from belt to belt, you cant mine while warping so less isk/hour or even better, moving from system to system with mining fleets, and guess what, you cant mine while moving either, so less isk/hour. Maybe even setting up a pos in those other systems, waiting an hour for it to anchor/online. Yeah that sounds like a really good solution.
I think you never mined a rock, in your live, or never been in nullsec, or maybe both.
Sources please. Actual cubage in a null belt. Number of belts in a single system. Then do the same for high sec. Then look at the ratio that the belt ores need to be higher than the anom ores to turn a profit over the anoms regardless.
Well i didnt make the statement that mining smaller rocks, and moving from belt to belt is more profitable then mining large rocks and staying in the same place. I already know you dont make any isk while warping, moving mining fleets to other systems or even other regions like Shoogie suggested. If either you or Shoogie think it is, maybe you should get the numbers before making such statements. |

Mr Omniblivion wrote:The most impactful reason that high end minerals are plummeting right now is because of the nerf to compression.
A huge portion of all minerals are consumed by supercap builders in nullsec. When they can't reliably get supplies of low end minerals (compressed ore!), their production line stops. This, in turn, reduces the demand for all minerals. High-ends are being hit the hardest because they're still being supplied at a constant rate from null at the same or better efficiency as before (due to the refining changes)- especially compared to the low ends that are now largely refined at "bad" stations in high sec.
It's unclear how long this will last. If high sec miners start compressing more ore and selling the compressed ore, demand might pick up again.
I'm personally in favor of CCP redistributing the spawns from null industrial upgrade sites, although this might be overkill once highsec realizes to sell their ore compressed.
Dont forget there was a big war and hundreds of asshurt cap pilots rage quit.
It's been affecting the entire market for sometime now and is the main sourge of PLEX inflation.

No, you are the one claiming that despite the ore in the belts being more valuable, the smaller rock size and the warp times will make less profit anyway. So the onus is on you to prove what numbers actually are. Not on me to prove that time spent mining more valuable ore is.... more valuable.
Since if you aren't AFK mining you don't get affected by the rock size since you use scanners and finish cycles early. |

Poor troll attempt is poor i guess. Look back a few posts and check Shoogie's first post, where he says nullsec miners have a choice what to mine. If either you or he think nullsec miners have a choice, proof it. |

We already have. If the ore in the belts is more valuable, then mine it. It's pretty simple from our point of view. You are the one claiming other factors make that choice non-viable, so back up your claims. |

Thats not proof, that's you just saying something so. If you say the ore in the belts is more valuable to mine, we need some numbers, how much of that valuable ore is in the belts, how long does it take you to mine mine it compared to mining ore in anomalies Backup your claim with some tests and numbers, we'll even wait till you train some mining skills.

It's fine.
It's safer to mine the high ends somewhere deep in null than to suck Veld in hi sec belts. As the high ends are small volume it's trivial to move them around in bulk.
Even if you would get your wish of increasing high end mineral content in capital components their isk/h would return to be about same or slightly less than the hi sec mining isk/h.
I assume you counted in Roqual boosts in your calculations for isk/h? Roqual boosts are slightly larger than the Orca ones. Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... *THWONK!* GOT the bastard. |

http://ore.cerlestes.de/index.html#site:ore Since you appear unable to calculate exactly how valuable each ore is. It's pretty simple. If it's worth more, mine it. It doesn't matter if there is only a few hours worth of mining per system for your multibox mining fleet. You still make more profit for those few hours AND increase the value of your high ends since more low ends mined means more high ends that can be used at the same time. So.... Mine it.
You however are arguing that despite the ore being more valuable it's not worth your time to mine it because it doesn't infinitely respawn. My maths is fairly simple, and doesn't need any magic proof. You simply mine the most valuable ores available to you till they go away, then you mine the next ones. You are the one trying to make a complicated argument involving amount of ore & warp time.
Incidentally, I have mining skills, I have reprocessing skills, and I do mining & industry. So I do know what I'm talking about. You however.... seem not to. |

Yeah, of course the players are at fault here! Dumb players, why did they invent supers and titans, players should never have been allowed to implement them into Eve!!!
Seriously, if supers and titans were actually balanced instead of "the one with the most wins automatically", this problem wouldn't exist. |

So the amounts in ores were changed, and the market got *FLOODED*.

Eh? Don't see the problem here. There is tons of unmined ore. Get those mining skills up and put more mining fleets in space. You should have no problems defending your exhumers because as the goon leader himself reminds us, power projection isn't a problem. ~ Professional Forum Alt -á~ |

The effing forum keeps eating my posts. Its fairly simple, your math doesnt add up, since you're already mining, but still refuse to give us some numbers, make a vid, that will proof once forall how wrong we are. The valuable ores in the regular nullsec belts are very few and pretty small, and an entire mining fleet wouldnt need hours to clean them in an average system. Ofc if you would acually mine in nullsec you would know that. Just like you would know that mining smaller rocks always have a little wasted time, no matter how good you are at using the survey scanner. Its impossible to time it perfectly, and even if you could, restarting your mining lasers also makes you lose a few seconds. If you actually did some mining as you claim you do, you would've known this. |

I rather think the blame is with CCP, they keep pushing ppl to low and nullsec, now there are alot of miners from highsec in nullsec, so there is an increase in the nullsec ores being mined. Oh and the mineral changes they made a little while ago, its not the minerals they added that crashed. |

I am expanding on my previous post in this thread.
The high end ores plummeting in price is because of the increased relative supply of high end minerals compared to low end minerals from high sec. Coupled with reduced demand, the price continues to fall on high end minerals.
This is not a problem with just compression- yes, that is an issue- but the change in relative supply is most impacted by the changes to refining in both high sec and null. Null stations get a huge (20%) realized bonus to refining output as opposed to high sec. The ores in nullsec are "top heavy" - meaning higher distribution of high end minerals. Because people are continuing to mine and refine in null, they are producing high end minerals much faster than high sec can produce low end minerals. High sec miners not compressing their ore is compounding this problem, because their ore loses 20% of its mineral value when refined in high sec.
I've made a post in F&I on how to somewhat fix this issue, as well as Querns' post in the S&I forum on compression.
Saying "leave it as it is because I'm making a profit and this is the best change ever made to Eve" is not a valid argument. It is not reasonable for all of nullsec to be fed by a spergy clickfest of 12+ freighter alts with titan support.
Edit: This is even further compounded when taking into consideration rorqual boosts vs orca boosts in high sec. If you have an equal number of equally skilled players mining in Null and High Sec, the high end minerals will be supplied at a much higher rate than the low end minerals (compared to their demand from t1 production). |

so the arguement here is that there arent enough low ends , because there arent enough hisec miners compressing to feed the null demand but its not worth the effort of mining the low ends in null because there are high ends available despite the overproduction of high ends and the need for low ends.
Or is it that there arent enough low end minerals in null belts? Or that there arent enough null belts? Or that there arent enough low end minerals in high end ores? Or that there arent enough miners in null? Or that there are too many miners in null?
Im not sure what problem CCP is supposed to fix if in null if there are too many miners but they aren't mining what you need in null. CCP is suppose to do what exactly, when its null miners behaviors that are the issue.
Or i guess you could encourage your members to stop ganking barges in hisec, Or mine themselves, Or encourage your local renters to mine what you actually need out there.
What exactly is the issue here? Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

Here's an idea to shake things up - remove the zonal restrictions on ore. Any ore can spawn in any system. But here's the thing: no more fixed asteroid belts. Nowhere in eve. Instead, they'd all be anoms and spawn at random places in the system with random ore compositions. (But proportional -- Veld would spawn far more often and in bigger roids than Ark, for example.) The separation of ores may have made sense once upon a time when nullsec was dangerous and logistics were nightmarish, but now that we have the big blue donut and jump freighters to get stuff to Jita with minimal fuss, the ore distribution makes no sense at all.
The addition of compression arrays was a welcome change, but limiting them to POS's limits their utility. Running a POS just for compression services isn't cost-effective. (Mobile compression array, CCP? Plz? Compressing ore on the spot in the belt would be the absolute ****, and I wouldn't need to put a Rorqual at risk to do it.)
Mining is a broken mechanic and the best thing to do would be to scrap it and make it a passive gathering mechanic like PI, but I doubt that's ever going to happen.

I think one of the strongest arguments in favor of the changes posted in this thread is the incredible weakness of the arguments raised by various npc alts, people bad at math, and people just generally mad at the goonswarm menace.
The market makes abundantly clear that the system is broken. Mining ore in 0.0 is the exclusive province of the (a) bad at math (b) idiots and (c) people who multibox so many miners they can't possibly rat with that many characters, and also cleared all of the ice spawns already.
There are a variety of ideas like "well, you could do something stupid, and if everyone in 0.0 also did those stupid things then things might change just a tiny bit". But remember, these are idiots who don't really understand that people are going to act in their own interests, and that the game should incentivize the proper behavior.
That Zyd is in the 400s means the system is broken, period. The reason the system is broken is ore anomolies, and those need to be fixed. |

It is interesting that people who wet their pants at the very thought of entering 0.0 are so eager to convince everyone else it's safe. I realize that it's probably because they want to pretend they're not wetting their pants at the thought of risk, but just 'choose not to live in 0.0', but you'd think their brain would realize there's a conflict there at some point. |

I lived in null exclusively for two years or more. Did the wormhole thing for a while too. I left because it's boring, not because it's dangerous. (Well, that and all the damned sov drama, but that's another thread entirely.)
Lowsec is more exciting, but it's hard to make ISK there. Hisec is where you go to make the ISKies. (And that makes sense lore-wise. Money follows safety and robust commerce.)
