I had a thought that I think can make mining just a little more fun.
When people in low sec are retting they have a small chance of getting named spawns like shadow serpentis, domination dread guristas that have very high bounty and sometimes have loot thats worth a fortune
Why not make it possible for something similar to happen while mining?
My idea is or low sec space give random high yeild asteroid spawns.
For example while mining in low sec there would be a very small chance a asteroid will spawn that gives 5x better yeild than arkonor and once popped wont respawn in that area.

hMMMM Not a bad idea. but why have an asteriod spawn, Why not have a minute chance that a particular cycle yields double.

A double yield with a barge and strip miners would be a waste, as the amount would exceed the capacity of the cargo hold.

This would work better with exploration, and very well might make everything more interesting. If while mining you could scan down rich clusters of roids in a system, then the whole thing would get more active. Do you mine Hemo all day or go for the small but juicy pockets of Ark sitting 30AU up from the sun... --- Recently returned from vacation on a sunny planet in 0.0. Guess which one! |

I think they should make exploding roids if you are unlucky enough to mine one it should vaporize destroying your ship. On the flip side it would be kinda cool for you mining guys to get some extra goodies sometimes when mining too. Maybe on a cycle instead of the mining laser dropping ore in your cargo you might get a mining implant. It would have to be rare though and only happen once on the roid.

Why not just add hidden asteroid belts? You have to scan them out, go to them; but they would have the advantage of being harder for player pirates to spot and find, and give them higher yeild or more valuable ore than usual for the system. Have them move randomly every DT, so any bookmarks would quickly become useless. Roving gangs of miners and solid ones like we have now; the roving gangs get more/better ore; but the non-mobile ones continue to have easily locatable/haulable ore, and can setup with a good place to refine, etc.

I think that there should be a 140% chance of getting a Expanded Cargohold III BPO when popping large veldspar roid. That would make mining more interesting.

Edited by: Wayback on 10/11/2006 14:23:13 I like the idea however you have to look at the chance you have of getting a named rat pop while your mining that belt. Yes it is a very very small chance but it happens. If CCP wouldnt mind overlooking that possiblity it seems very fair. I like it.
