Hi if i have 3 refinery's on a moon with one miner active and someone else puts up 3 refinery's and then kills my active one are we going to clickspam in the other 5 refinery's and let RNGeesus decide who gets the miner active? currently if you kill a pos you can hold grid and put a new one up but i assume that wont be the case with the new structures. |

Where are all these supposed miners coming from?
I've never seen a nul or ls corp or alliance turning down applications cuz they just have too many miners.
Plus no one likes dying over and over, so rental or noob miners would need protecting. So now, half your alliance has to babysit them or be posted up spotting for them three gates out.
In that case, you might as well just plex a handful of mining toons, plex them in npc corp, allow them docking access, and let them die whenever. Ship losses and plex expenses get calculated into material sell price.
Quite possibly the fuel requirements for a clone bay will be added to moon product prices as well, cuz seriously, who wants to fleet in barges. JC in mining alts from one moon mega alliance holds to the next and mop up the goo on a schedule.
I see where everyone's heart is in the right place. It's just not gonna shake out how you'd like.
So now the moon guru and the miining director's positions are more closely aligned and the really big boys no longer have to bother dropping cits to get content.
Hell, maybe they don't even have to bother maintaining moon ops at all. Why bother when they can simply drop in on neighbors at harvest time, brush aside your fleet, and mine the goo while you pay the fuel bill.
Go ahead and try to start a fight with them over it.. caps will just drop and crush u. These guys are dropping and letting cits die undefended half the time simply in search of content, on the off chance they'll have people online and kicking ur as* is convenient for them at that moment. If not, they just lose the cit and care about as much as I would losing a gecko.
Plus, this looks like a pretty permanent situation, given that the existing system was going for over a decade.
Mining is all well and good. I used to freaking love it. I know a lot of people enjoy it. Give it two or three years, trust me, the thrill wears off.... all the way off.
I'm just not seeing the upside to significantly increasing the mining demand and demand for dedicated miner toons. Most, not all, look forward to the day they can graduate from mining and do something a bit more active. With all this new mining required, there's no end in sight, for any of us.
Providing a little spice and opportunity for the >10M SP crowd to get some cool goo... I get that, I support that. Still there has to be a better mechanic to allow for that than mining.
Please find a way that refinery cits can continue to soak up the reactions passively while still leaving the floating asteroids, chunks, dust, whatever, exposed to theft... Like ESS-style theft.
Stealing ship lands, activates "fracking" or "jackhammer" module, fills up on unrefined promethium, and tries to make it home alive. This would be fantastic for wh'ers.
The huge alliances feel the pinch some on distant moons, cuz the one thing they can't do is be everywhere at once. Perhaps some far-flung r64's and 32's are eventually conceded owing to attrition and lack of profitability. I guarantee you they'll find the time to be there though if anyone brings Rorq's, Orcas, or even a dozen exhumers on field. They freaking live off of those tears.

will the moon goo asteroids chunk be placed next to the citadell? because, if yes, i understand that mining ops will take place within docking or at least tethering range. will the mining, or locking, of asteroids generate a weapons timer?
with the removal of siphons, do i understand right, that there won't be a way to steal from reactions anymore?

Nothing I would say. Goons are doing a good job building up supers . They protect their miners for next year or so and will have a better cap force then NC and PL. With them letting people fight in the thunder dome they will have ton of peepons.

Have you guys considered using Deep Core Strip Miners as the moon mining lasers? It'd help the Deep Core mining laser market as well as make training Deep Core Mining skill more rewarding to train. Using normal strip miners and mining lasers are better left to asteroids.

CCP Fozzie wrote:Hi again folks. Thanks as always for participating in the thread. Let's do a bit of a Q&A to answer some of the questions we've been seeing come up repeatedly.
Q: What will happen to Siphons in the new system? A: We currently plan to phase out siphons since they don't really fit with the new system (there will be much more direct ways to steal moongoo). Siphons were a solid attempt at achieving a worthy goal, but for a number of reasons that particular implementation was doomed to extremely niche status. We think that overall direct spaceship interaction will be a more fun way of engaging in guerilla attacks against moon mining infrastructure.
Q: Will Rorquals be able to dock in the large refinery? A: Yes. The medium refineries will have the same docking restrictions as Astrahus and Raitarus, while the large will allow those ships plus the Rorqual thanks to dedicated Rorqual docking facilities. Non-Rorqual capitals will not be able to dock in the large refinery however.
Q: What types of ships will be able to mine the new ore spawned by moon mining events? A: The new ores won't require special ships to mine. They'll be minable with the normal ore mining ships that are available today (including Rorquals).
Q: Will the new moon ore require new types of mining lasers and drones to mine? A: Our current plan is to use the same mining lasers, strip miners and mining drones that currently mine the existing types of ore. We are interested in hearing what the community thinks about this however, and are keeping our options open.
Q: Can this new moon mining mechanic be expanded to include highsec and wormhole space? A: As we mentioned in the blog we think this general mechanic has potential in other areas of space, but we're not currently planning on opening up collection of T2 moon materials into areas beyond lowsec and nullsec. We've run the number and we don't think diluting the sources of T2 materials across more areas of space would be beneficial to the feature. However in future iterations we would be very interested in investigating expanding this same "scheduled mining event" gameplay to all areas of space using different resources. These might take the form of new resources or allowing the collection of existing resources such as normal minerals or T3 gasses. For the first release we need to keep a reasonable scope so any expansion of that kind would need to come later if it comes. That also means that if we expand this gameplay to other resources in other areas we'll be able to integrate the lessons learned from the first release.
Q: Will starbases (POS) be removed when this feature is released? A: No, the removal of starbases will be a gradual process and even with the release of refineries there will still be major starbase functions that are not yet replicated by new structures (cyno beacons, cyno jammers and jump bridges). We will have some news on the next steps towards the starbase phase out soon.
I'm sorry about not all moons need to bare T2 materials. This is eve and let's add a bit more to the table here. So place a different resources on the moons at the same time. I'm sure their a ton of players wanting to do this in empire. If it can't be t2 moon stuff then give us something else with this update. We all know once this feature hits you wont touch it for some time again.

With alternate sources of funding.
Goonswarm Federation, currently, uses 0% of its money earned via moongoo for SRP. I know, because I'm the guy who turns all the moongoo we mine into cash, and I am the one who decides how that particular chunk of money is spent. None of it goes to SRP.
If we, the least capable and worst alliance in Eve Online: Noted Space-themed Spreadsheet, can manage it, so should you and yours.

Rena'Thras wrote:I'll ask the same for this that I've asked all along with all the Upwell Structures:
WHEN WILL THERE BE A SMALL SIZE?
.
It was mentioned earlier by some people, but this means people that run small POSes now or smaller Corporations or industrial players now have to join a big Corp or Alliance in order to do this stuff. Right now, you can drop a small POS in Lowsec as an individual or small Corporation and work into the moon mining game, as well as dropping a small POS in Highsec if you want your own personal refining station.
After this change, you're going from a 150M investment into a several billion ISK facility, something like a 10-100x increase in cost for people, yeah?
I've always liked the idea of smaller groups being able to do things, and I love personal deployable structures, so I feel like there should be SMALL structures added to the Upwell lines. The fact that this is going to essentially phase out SMALL POSes, yet there is no SMALL version, I find very strange and not really defensible as a position unless the goal of EVE is to tell small groups or individual players that they aren't welcome in it.
Surely that isn't the intention...?
One can make the argument for Citadels not having a small size due to their nature. Engineering complexes the argument isn't as good, but it might still hold some water. But as we get more and more structures and get closer and closer to removing POSes from the game, CCP, you guys really need to look at throwing a bone to small corps and players that need smaller, cheaper, and more manageable facilities for their needs.
You are absolutely right! But theyGÇÖre not going to happen. As far as CCP is concerned the GÇÿsmallGÇÖ sizes are already in game and are the deployable like the mobile depot. What they are announcing is what we are getting. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6757639#post6757639
I wish it wasnGÇÖt so, I had high hopes for the new structures and hoped they would bring more granularity to the landscape. Instead they have removed rungs from the ladder at the bottom. And itGÇÖs not like the CSM or any of the regular GÇÿvoicesGÇÖ CCP listens too gives a crap about small scale groups or gameplay either. And for the ones that do, GÇÿsmallGÇÖ groups seem to be defined as over a hundred, not the many 1-30 man corps out there currently utilizing POSGÇÖs. Half the forum warriors from large groups will just yell GÇÿadapt or dieGÇÖ (which should just be GÇÿadapt or unsubGÇÖ) all while ignoring that the problem is options to adapt are being taken away from small groups with the new structures. ItGÇÖs hard to GÇÿadaptGÇÖ when your choices are becoming more limited from what you had before.
Hell CCP didnGÇÖt even know that there was even any negative feelings towards these they are so disconnected with the small corp community. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6747090#post6747090
They REALLY needed to do a round table or something with smaller groups, but the fact they never did shows their level of concern is zero. Hell, I predict they will instead point to supper rich 1% indy guy who showers Mercs with banking ISK to keep him alive as GÇÿproofGÇÖ everyone can use these while the not so rich 20 man corp who had a POS and now wantGÇÖs to build a home/base/indy startup will be told to just GÇÿuses someone elseGÇÖsGÇÖ. Just look at FozzieGÇÖs reply on this thread about removing POSGÇÖs.The things that he is concerned about are not mobility for small groups, viable income for them or even the barrier to entry. It was all GÇÿcyno generatorsGÇÖ and ways for big guys to move caps.
CCP has raised the bar to structure ownership/gameplay significantly (all while marketing them to GÇÿeveryoneGÇÖ), and have taken many of the financial niches that small groups use to keep up and handed them over to the big boys by default now. Just look at reactions. Right now there is kinda a soft upper limit to how many reactions a large scale/med operation can do based on how many POSGÇÖs the owners/logistic guys feels like dealing with, putting up, fueling, and managing (which is all a pain). But after these come out that limit disappears since there will be no limit to the amount of jobs per structure. So things where a small crop could buy the raw materials off the market and run some reactions at a no value moon to fill a gap in the market, or drug production are going to be gone since all production will be out of fewer of these run by larger groups (since they themselves will be able to fill those gaps on alts without the multiple POS hassle).
This is all great for the large scale industrialist, and the large groups needed the changes these structure are brining (I support most of the changes), but it really screws the little guy. Just like everything else about the new structures. And yet while with each new structure a larger part of the player base is feeling left out of CCPs vision for the game, CCP is really unwilling to even acknowledge it let alone talk about it with the small groups community. |

Is it so bad that CCP implements stimuli for team play as an integral part of participation dependancies? Is it really so bad that they introduce much more subtle and healthier progression encouragements even across gameplay niches and game segments?
One of the most common issues in the past when population went up was that ultimately it crashed harder than the peak grew because of quite a few reasons, a very notable one being a lack of triggers (if you will) for players to increase the number of connections between them and the pace of discovering encouragements/requirements for them. Another such issue was that once rooted people barely moved on or beyond the segment they ended up in.
I know, you raise valid points which CCP also consider carefully. But they also need to consider the overall health of population development in general terms. Sure, sometimes in some places the bar is raised, but it raises it in such a manner that the age old fundamental principles rooted in economics of scale compensate very smoothly for those raised bars.
People don't even need to be in the same corporation, I've seen systems by now where people make team based connections regardless of organisation/identity.
Look, I'm sorry, but the little guy could get screwed much much worse. With the concept as is, at least he gets the choice to feel something or not. Proverbially speaking, obviously. Where it comes to solo play, sure, structures might not be it for that. Then again, not far from Amarr there's a few systems where some solo players run their own structures (citadel, ec's, pos). They have a little market between them, they team up with others, individual and corporate. They do their thing, yet they still make connections and thus get the use of such things for their own enjoyment.
Yeah, it can be tough for the little guy. EVE is real, so no surprise there. But unlike in the past, he's not getting shafted. CCP has upped the ante, but while creating room for the little guy in very interesting manners.

Exactly what I've been trying to say. The limiting factor on pos's (or cits) is what makes running reactions a way to make a living. Hundreds of alts running reactions = fractional margins. It's handing that whole segment of the game to station traders and others that never undock.
Also makes basic t2 manu incredibly tedious. building slots, copy slots, invention slots, and now reaction slots too?
T2 was interesting because it required non-mine-able mats and you had to be inventive. Now it's all just different flavors of ore, bought and hauled from Jita.
There was always a mild SP barrier to entry into t2, but the real barrier was the complexity, logistics, and relationships required to build profitably. You might even invest in reaction towers to churn out finished reactions you used a lot of. Now u JF to Jita, consult your spreadsheet, buy the precise volumes needed of ice, standard minerals, mined moon mins and jf home and start cycling through alts and running jobs in the standard indy UI. Or you milk the local miners for mats at 85% of Jita buy cuz they don't have a jf and u won't work cheap.. lol. |

The people actually asking for new skills must have a bone in the injector market. That's all new skills or new ships with new requirements have already shown to encourage. There is no delay or gradual shift anymore, it's just inject and be perfect. I mean, if I were CCP I'd do it simply because more injector usage means more extractor and plex sales. But as a player I say screw that, just give additional uses to the already niche deep core mining skill. Hell, you can even attach the use of R-4/8/16/32/64 crystals to each level if you really wanted. |

- I like the idea of a new reprocessing skill for the moon materials but don't do it unless you pre-seed the skill book and give people enough time to train it to 5 before release. If you don't do that there will be a gap where suddenly everyone is stockpiling the raw material until they can refine it perfectly.
- Similarly, a new mining skill seems good but tie it to new T2 mining crystals. Newbros in their Ventures should be able to take part in this corp based activity without having to specialize into it too far.
Other than the already talked about reinforcement mechanics there's one other major issue with citadels that really needs addressing. By putting so much of the cost of these structures into the rigs and making the rigs so specialized at the smaller sizes CCP have effectively killed small group/solo industrialism.
I do capital production (not supers). Currently I use one high sec POS to do research and ore compression. The results of this get shipped to null sec where I do capital production inside several engineering complexes. On the null sec side there are already 3 complexes required: a Sotiyo/Azbel with T1 rigs for hull production (because T2 is so expensive), a Raitaru with T2 rigs for refining and capital component production and another Raitaru with T2 ME rigs for equipment, fighters and T2 components. With the refinery changes that's now adding a fourth structure in null sec and the high sec POS would need to be split out into two structure (assuming compression won't be available on Raitarus).
All of this adds up to 6 structures, each with 3-5b worth of rigs, to do the job I used to be able to do with one small POS and an outpost. Granted, the industrial bonuses in null sec are quite a bit nicer than they were then but it doesn't change the fact that there is now an absolutely massive startup cost. This completely prices small/new corps out of the industrial game. |

Given that planets are what are barren or ice or plasma, etc. not moons exactly, I'd love to see this brought to wspace in this way. Allow barren planets to be fracked for ore and ice planets to be fracked for ice. This would naturally limit the number of resources available in wspace because planets are less numerous than moons and give wspace access to this mechanic without upsetting the balance of materials for T2.

Is there any plan to introduce a structure that replaces the ability to house (even a single) dread/carrier for the cost of a ship maintenance array? Probably not... What a nightmare that would be. |

We must have access to a wide selection of moon goo so we can finally be self-sufficient. Let the chunks be completely random, with a higher chance of the good stuff if you have a large structure/t2 rig etc. If we don't all have to run to jita, that'd be great. |

If everyone was self-sufficient - there would be no reason at all for anything more than meaningless and frivolous pretend combat. War is driven by economics.
With logistics in EVE so easy - if no one needed to go to Jita, HS would pretty much collapse.

Perhaps not - but 80+% of EVE would be...

I see in the devblog that you will be uninstalling all of the reprocessing rigs so that people have the option of reinstalling them. This is a good move! However since you are giving an inch I'm going to ask for a mile
Can you please uninstall all rigs on a structure that has a reprocessing rig on it? Chances are that the entire structure will be replaced by a refinery and it would be nice to be able to just reuse all of the rigs once we're done placing the new refinery. The old structure will in many cases be surplus to requirements at this point and be unanchored. |

Nah. Regional moongoo is good, and gives highsec a chance to play.

1) As a small moon/reaction corp. Income will disappear without a fleet of miners.
2) Some form of tax/percentage of moongoo taken within a specified range of the refinery would go a long way to helping small corps recoup some of the loss without a fleet. Part of the field could lie outside of that range so ninjas could still ply their trade.
3) Will Asteroid mining volume drop because they'll be busy mining what used to be automated?
4) What will be vulnerability be?
