May I ask

[Epo]

Why's the aluminium ore drop rate in Munich so low? It takes ages to fill Daumann ID'd Hegemon...
Really, ages. It drops values of 3-5-7 units of ore, sometimes drops 20 if in good mood.

[Vendetta]

It's to counter the fact that Aluminium is currently the top selling ore, for balance purposes in the economy.

Just because it sells for a little more than other ores it gets 'ballanced' ? More like nerfed.
Doesn't make sence to me.

why?

profit / time is not really hard concept to understand. If there wasn't an adjustment to the mining rate to enforce additional time on the total route, it would be more profitable than intended.

Alley was right.

[Impyness]

Actually it's probably because fields are currently very very messy in terms of actual drop rates.

ie you can fill a 5k full of gold in about a minute and a half while other ores can take 5+ minutes to do the same with the exact same profit per time / distance

Because hege can hit only 2 mining arrays at one asteroid, if you get lucky - 4. Use Arrastra and commie with 5k train.

it's sad and that's why i removed it from my business plans and so is other bases too.

Why would you have to make something accumulate longer in order to make it "balanced"
This is what the dev team is doing:

Oh lets make this Ore higher in price.
Oh but it will be too op we cant have that! Lets make it mine longer!
But wait... Does that mean that the higher price makes no difference to time vs profit?
Yes.
Brilliant!
Now people will get bored of mining it and mine other things faster that will get the same time vs profit!

Genius isn't it? creating your own problem and designing after to "fix" that problem but not removing the actual problem itself do that it looks better but it isn't and it is actually detouring people from getting it.



So yeah @Alley this is what I dont understand.

This moment when people think, I can mine really fast in a Hegemon.

The fastest way to mine, is to buy an Surveyor because it has the highest mining drop bonus and a friend who flys a 5ker.
Fill your friend up, he drops the cargo, fill him again up and then you log your transport.

Is it really so hard?

Any questions or concerns about Bowex), just send me a private message.

Even with Surveyor and Arrasta the drop rate is horrible
