Economy in 5.2+

[Enko]

Never seen bad comments about it but from three people on the forums. Maybe it'd be a good idea to have a separate thread about the mining though since that is not entirely affecting the economy. It kind of does by extending mining time and thus increasing price but that's it.

---" It kind of does by extending mining time and thus increasing price but that's it" ---- You just brought up the biggest concern with this new mining system -- "time". I understand that someone doesn't have a job, a wife, children, or any life at all and can spend 24/7 playing video games. And just because people don't bother to write doesn't mean there are only "a few". I agree with Ramke that the new system develops more team play, but that's also the only good thing about this thing. But considering our already small player base, it will eventually lead to taking Hege and doing it alone. And with this whole "new mining system" I see that the bases are empty of mining products half the time. It was supposed to be fun and somehow it doesn't seem to be.

Time in the field does not mean that it makes you take longer time to get money. Mining in NuMining is actually the single most profitable gameplay loop in the game right now, and if you do it in say the Archon you can do a single trip that takes like 8-9 minutes total, or a Hegemon takes 18 minutes. This is not a lot of time, and solo mining is far easier to do in NuMining as well.

There is about 50-80k gold ore that comes from Dublin every day for the past week or two, Heavy Water filled up the pob super fast in Penny and Plat does sell quite quickly too. Where are the places that use numining that have no product? There was 150,0000 Deuterium last night in Penny, 60,000 plat between two bases I checked and Gold between Coleraine, Fortitudine and Connact is literally throwing out 100,000 gold a day or more.

These new changes actually benefit lower time, quick operations.
