I came up for an sollution for the grainding problems. Asteroids.
Asteroids are just like planets orbiting a star. With one exception, They can dissapear. Asteroids have harvesters with some normal mantis around it. Asteroids are small and have a much smaller map then planets, think about Iga size, maybe smaller. There could be 4 differant maps that you have to explore always again, but often they have differant ranks of harvesters.
When do asteroids spawn?
* It's possible that they spawn by luck, just programmed by dev's
* It's also possible that GM's can spawn one. Just like when they spawn mantis in an invasion. But maybe that only LGM's can spawn something, not SGM's.
* Another option, they could spawn if the server detects that there are many players in a system and then it adds a asteroid that will dissapear after an hour if there is no longer a shortage.
* As last, maybe there are just a few asteroids, but you have to find them.
So thats is a possiblity.
Then, how do I come on a Asteroid?
* What would be ok, if you could just land on it, wihout having to do anything.
* Another thing would be if you needed to explore it, just as planets, but it would be much cheaper
* As last and the hardest would be if you had to find them. When in starmap, you could launch drones, they can be seen in starmap in the sidepanel in a new tab. If you scan one, you can travel to it without having to explore it.
