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.

OK.. But I don't see how this will end our grinding problems. Basically, your suggestion is to add asteroids that you can land on that disappear after an hour. Where does the grinding part come in?

no, they dissapear if its no longer needed, after an hour countdown, if it gets busy again, it stays.

I can understand this, but I think the better way would be that if A planet is supper busy, an asteroid/meteor/comit will come close to it's orbit and could be accessed from that planets orbit. they would stay for some period of time and leave afterwords. It could also be set up that after the time is up, it crashes on the planet randomly and everyone on it dies.

good idea, but waht would happen to the people that were still on the asteroid when it disappears, do they get transported to the nearest hangar facility, do they die, or what?

as for it crashing into the planet surface and killing everything...no. lol

Alternatively you could just have the respawn rate go through the roof at peek hours :D imagine that, harvs respawning so fast you can't empty the harv fields comepetely even if you're in a sol ship popping the rank 29+
