Rare ores - Anaximander - 03-17-2013
Hello. I've been thinking it would be cool if certain super precious rare ores would drop randomly and in highly limited numbers in randomized fields across the map. Don't know if this is possible with the mining mod as it is, or if it will drain processing resources from the server.
It would open up for the more survey/probing type miner RP and gameplay, and give miner SHF's a bit of added purpose when/if Hegemon gets it's cargo hold size re-buffed (I've been told it will, not sure if true).

This reminds me of shiny pokemon.

No EVE of course...
It adds a nice dimension that you can specialize rather than just go for bulk mining, would provide new avenues for fun and add a sense of urgency ("must get the super ores before someone else gets here").

I suppose what they could do is create some more ores with high sale prices, have them in select fields within fields, like the Premium Scrap field in the New London system, and have a low amount within each field

It's possible afaik, but the fields need to be pre-set for it at the mod. But a cycle could be made. and a large variety of them too. It's a nice idea all in all

Yep, give them a 1 in 8192 chance of spawning.
Kind of a cool idea. Uniquely colored diamonds, stuff like that. Very rare isotopes of various elements.
Could be sold to NPC bases for many millions of credits, but would be mainly used as hard-to-aquire RP cargo.

How about ores not found on Earth?
