The Ore mining review.

[Mímir]

Don't know if the thread is meant for this, but I'd like to see more deep space mining. The further you get away from the House systems, the more valuable (and rare) the ore becomes, essentially cutting the profit on "house ores" down to that of regular house commodities, while keeping the insanely high profits from mining in high-risk systems. In EVE it just works so well, it makes the miner gameplay more fun (as you run a bigger risk, but can reap a huge reward) and piracy as well, as routes are long and safe spots are few and far between.

If the high-yield mining were to take place in the Omicrons or other "unclaimed" space, there'd be cause for player-driven group conflicts over the resources. A dynamic battlefield with a concrete purpose.
