Just had a thought.it stems from the concept people have had that a corpiration which owns a territory can deploy to that region.training with corp members,trying veichles and so on.
It also involves the idea of dust players being able to mine for rare valuable minerals as eve capauleers do.
Now my thought is..
What if mining was introduced to corp territories.you go in,you scan and find minerals,then mine them.now what if each time a territory changed ownership to a different corporation,there was a random chance of having minerals of varying degrees of value and rarity,spawning in random locations and quantities.but also a chance it will stay exactly as it is...call it 50/50 chances of either outcome.
The reason thus appeals to me is,imagine a corp wins a territory from another.when they own it and walk around ,they scan for minerals.thet find a pocjet and it just so happens to be huge,and valuable as hell.now this means each player mining gets his amount and the corp takes a cut of it.now imagine anotger corp gets wind of it.they will want to take that territory for that half chance of gaining a massive source of profit for their corp.
This would add a new level to corporation meta game.selling secrets and locations of mineral pockets owned by other corps,or your own.the information trade alone could become prominent.
I dunno.just a thought. |

The 50/50 chance of it changing won't happen ... it will be like Eve ... there will be small pockets of the very high value resources which the big corporation will wage several year long wars for control over these regions ... as they do in Eve for the Moon mining minerals.
Also I'm not too drawn to the idea of going down to your corps planet with a pick axe n shovel ... but I guess people zap asteroids in Eve so why not ... I imagined it to be more along the lines of - Own a planet - install an expensive structure - select a work rate ie. low level 7 day cycle, mid level 1 day cycle, high level 2 hour cycle ... and when your storage unit is full the resources collected need to be moved to station either by Eve player or by a relatively cheap 'surface to station capsule' of some sort.
Planetary resource gathering already happens in Eve ... in fact every planet you go to battle on already has many surface structures owned by Eve players which are used to gather and process planetary commodities into more valuable or useful forms to go into manufacturing other stuff or fuelling POSs and various other things. And this is roughly how it works |
