The problem must be that you guys just don't have enough bots and mods to spread around all your spark locations... But that's what happens when you stop playing perp and other people don't.

Bump, Good corp.

Ran across this after logging my miner while mining. Logged him back on a bit later and his accumulator was empty and he had this mining charge issue.

Not sure if it is somehow related to accumulator bug or not. It kept mining and the charge amount kept going negative. had to reload in terminal and it fixed it.

Seemed like a new list of old forum topics.

And you should check out spark teleportation. It was a game changer IMO.

I don't like the ICE idea. Then they just give their buddy the ICE and it turns into a 45 day trial acct that gets ep bonus.

I would disagree...

I think it would have a much greater impact at low pop than with a high population. With a low pop, a higher percentage of the overall mining done is done on the only 2 actively inhabited gamma islands. This means those 2 islands will be emptied the quickest as there is very little mining going on elsewhere to repopulate the fields on those 2 islands.

When the population gets higher, there will be many more islands getting mined. Causing ore replenishment to be much more evenly spread out. And if that is the case, then as long as the pop stays up. There will still be infinite ore, or close to.

And if that is the case, then what would have been the point of this ore change at all, other than to hinder the only active corps left in this game currently?

I am not opposed to a change to the ore/mining mechanics if it is needed, this just seems like a long way around only to end up in the same place...

Eff me. On this I agree with Arga. Eff mining towers....

Looks like the infinite ore may be running out.....

So now I have to grind people off of a beta island, so I can grind missions to get tokens, so I can grind beacons even worse than they are now, SO i can grind mining and harvesting. So I can hopefully have what I need to produce mods and bots for the already disappearing pvp.... Crap. Just crap... My 2 cents...

You would hate to think that someone was falsely accusing people of using exploits. For some sort of self serving interest.... Surely not.
