Raw Hydrocarbon & Helium-3 Extraction

[Yoshi.Sato]

I wanted to express my opinion, and share some of my experience in regards to this two commodities.

Let me start with Raw Hydrocarbon, specifically when it is mined in T-29. I finally had a chance to do some mining as Kishiro in the east mining field, I did it with the all mighty Surveyor, the drop rate was perfect, not to much not too little. However the density of the field is pretty low. And it has taken a pretty long time to fill up transports. I have experienced shooting rocks with quite a few more mine-able commodities, and in comparison i would say the density should be par with other commodities.

I would like to request the developers to increase the density of the east Raw Hydrocarbon field in T-29 to bring it on par with other mine fields. Therefore increase the zones attractiveness.

Before the "forum love & compassion" missiles launched, let me counter it with some reasons and justifications.

RP reason is that Kishiro's technology manufacturing requires a large supply of necessary ingredients, and should have good supply of such, and Raw Hydrocabon is refined and processed for that purpose. That is why Nago is at that location.

Out of RP reason is that i would like to increase the player activity, and player interaction in that area, and consequentially elsewhere as well. It is close enough to the T 23 activity hub, so player that prefer operating in that region could easily hop over and take part in the interaction.I am planing to construct a PoB there, far enough from the minefield so it wont be any different distance as Nago already, which would attract transports, solo miners, their escorts, and folks who want to shoot or RP with all of these mentioned. It offers a wide range of opportunities for interaction. The few i can think of as examples:
-Kishiro and Samura share the region, and could contend for resources. Both factions could use activity...
-Evident, but still should be mentioned that pirates could seek their daily bread there as well, and being so close to T-23 it would serve them with more prey.
-Factions that operate in that area and could benefit from activity such as Exiles, so they can take their revenge on the corporation, Outcasts that can come and shoot the miners or their escorts (preferably the escort... ) as they are high on Cardamine and controlled by ALIENS!?! and they don't even know...Gaus could show up, well... to be Gaus... Marauders would have more innocent civilians that they can maraude with...
-This also could attract the faction like BHG that can operate there to hunt em bad guys, Kusari Naval forces could show up and disperse any sort of madness, or even participants in the Bretonia/Gallia conflict could peak in to show some love and compassion to each other...

I am sure there is more, but thats what i was able to think of as of now.

And regarding to Helium-3, i am not speaking behalf of GMG, but wanted to share my experience. I feel that the Helium-3 mining could use some quality of life improvements, perhaps wider radius for the mine field, and more dense "rocks" ore Helium bubble-ey thingies.... Not to over buff it, but bring it in balance with other mine-able commodities. As i would like to increase Kishiro's faction activity, i would love to see more GMG folks to partner up with and have some Operations together, i would love to be able to interact in-game with them more, and generate activity the similar way as i described above.


As well all know deep inside, that mining ore, and transport it for high profit - high risk generates a lot of activity, even i would dare to say, the most activity in disco. Even though people participate in a wide variety of activities, a lot of folks have they mining/transporting logistics to make some revenue so they can do other stuff... I sure don't want to shoot rocks all day, and stare at the behind of my transport ship, i want to do a run or two a day, generate some income, than log something else to RP, pew, or explore with. I think it is a healthy process.
