Raw Hydrocarbon & Helium-3 Extraction

[Jazzi]

I too would like to see a hydrocarbon boost for the reasons pointed out above from the Kusari perspective; but also from the Bretonnian perspective. I do believe the ideas and points are transferable across the two regions (albeit with differing details).

The O-3 Hydrocarbon field is an extremely risky field in which to operate. It is located close to the O-5 jumphole with Cadiz close on the other side thus being in scannable range of normal pirate traffic. It also has a relatively low density and comparatively low drop-rate to other Bretonnian ores making any operations there take longer. As such from a miner/trader point of view it is uneconomic to mine as funds need to be spent on security in order to just attract transports (not an issue of itself as long as there is a net balance).

The pirate side of any mining operation is just as important for activity and general enjoyment however; afterall fun comes from risk, no? As such, there is a need for balance in order to achieve enjoyment for both sides of the equation. However, at this moment in time, that particular field is not balanced enough on the miner/trader side to attract activity.

With the new ID changes there are intriguing opportunities presented for combined operations with Corps (BMM in mind), Hunters, Freelance escorts and such. It would also make an interesting focal point for potential Corsair raids where there is a player created objective to defend an operation... actually that leads to an idea. If the admins/devs would be interested, perhaps this could be an event where the density of such fields could be temporarily increased for a particular period; and events could be organised around these temporary boosts. Food for thought.
