When you write the blogs, you slowly build up some fame (or infamy). Yu also get the opportunity to put some small claim on the efforts of others and even get some appreciation for the efforts of others.
Greyscale took those concepts and ran with them. It would be harder to find a case of, "This is my co-worker's idea, but I'll make the announcement" than this blog, but at least he's up front about it.
Want to know more? Interested in some cool stuff coming for Exploration, Drone Hacking, and Synth Boosters? Does the thought of a Mining Mission warm your lasers or better stuff in the LP Store make you want to cram another mission or three in before going to bed? If so, check out Meanwhile, back in the Exploration bunker... It's full of epic win!

Glad the Sisters of Eve are getting the exploration love. I suppose I will have to start doing missions for them again. I am also glad they will finally be distinguishing between the unknowns and cosmic anomalies. Any word on whether Unknown signatures will be a -tad- easier to find? Right now they are a HUGE pain and a waste of probes.

Although a question.. those green scribbles on the map.. you're not a good photoshop artist, are you Greyscale? .. what are they supposed to be?

I'm assuming you were talking about the 'colouring in'... you did seem to struggle with that somewhat.

Very interesting indeed
Moving boosters to lowsec was a great idea. I have dun booster exploration in 0.0 and came to the conclusion that boosters can be to easily controlled by super powers (alliances) that have little plans on sharing them to the open market.
Also can we NOT get mass nurfage on the exploration materials? Last time I lost 7 billion isk of gas cloud harvesters and booster related books sense CCP decided to seed them on the open market (no joke). So please donĘt release stuff on tranq that will nerf billion cargo into crap junk.

I'm wild guessing here but i think the green lines are entry points into the different constellations.
Anyway good stuff comming out in trinity and it is good to see some variation is being added to missions even tough it is "carebearish" to say the least.

"Most such drones will likely fall in between existing T1 and T2 drones"
Would love just a bitt more info on this, or even a smal example, as the drone section is getting more and more confusing each time i read it...
is this invention based, or are we talking bouth some sort of upgrading of t1 drones? (an example of why anyone would use such a drone instead of a t2 would be nice).

Quote: The short story is that mining missions are making a comeback ū they'll be utilizing special, non-refinable ore so people can't cheat their way to success by buying common ore off the market, so you'll be able to generate LPs as a miner once again.

Three days for deseeding of exploration sites. I'm trying to rationalize if 4 would be better. But I really can't think up a scenario where this would occur...

Any chance for the reworking of talisman implants? they are prety useless, even on most ships with noss bonuses.
Can it be changed to capacitor capacity or weapon cap use or something more usefull.

Disappointing to see boosters turn into a commodity through low-sec availability, but I can see how it follows the all-inclusiveness of the current CCP strategy; All content available at different quality level to all players.
IMHO, this isn't a good strategy to pursue, and it makes all levels of game play "Same, same but different textures".

Pretty good blog, Greyscale, but you may want to take a look at this sentence under "General Exploration Improvements":
Quote: Secondly, we've revised the despawn mechanics so that all sites despawn three days after they initially discovery.
Should probably change that to "three days after their initial discovery".
I have one beef, though. A few months ago, in your first blog about changing asteroid belts, I made a little complaint about Domination spawns, and how their loot tables appear to be screwed up. You said you'd pass that on, but nothing seems to have changed and their drops are just as bad as ever. You still get nothing but worst-named modules and unremarkable tags; 'Langour' Stasis Webs and Angel Bronze tags are not uncommon. I've bugreported this too, but they say its working normally. I can only assume that either means they already are making changes to loot tables that would make this problem not applicable anymore, or they really just don't understand how bad Domination spawns are. Do you know anything about this? |

Lots of goodies in there.
This is the part of EvE I make my ISKies from so it better work
Faction drones, cool! Seriously, now I'll have to go ninja probing in the drone-regions to get me some of those babies. Gist X-Type Ogre... drooool
One thing tho.. Not really about exploration, but related to probes. There was a patch on Sisi where you could probe cloaked ships. Was that idea brought into a blast from a DDD or is it still alive ?
Nice and informative blog, thanks for bringing it!

Now your buffing the lesser enteties a bit, would you consider giving them a few more agents? ORE for example only has 15. ---------- It's great being minmatar, ain't it |

Three cheers!

So will these mining mission require me to train more skills since they are going to be for specialty ores?
Also if I had a choice I would prefer the ORE implants to be: boost mining amount or time savers versus range. When does extra range get you anything in mining? And while I'm making wishes, how about a time saving or amount increasing rig for mining lasers, or adding capital mining lasers and giving the Rorqual something other to do than just haul minerals.
