If eg they are collecting E, the fields are supposed to be for several players and if someone reach the e field first with a rare collector and another one with a lower collector, that would have the player with lower collector not being able to collect any e at all.
It is unfair and would be abused, and lower players wouldn't stand a change to collect anything.

I have often wondered about making e-balls very large, like 100,000 e. Your ship can still only hold the max amount, but several people can latch on to even the same e-ball and start collecting, and your e would increase in real-time as long as you stay locked onto the e-ball. This would alleviate the ball shortage that ppl sometimes run into when there are a lot of ppl on at the same time, like weekends. Of course the rate at which your e increases would depend directly on which collector you use. This would also keep ppl from "stealing" e from others. But, this is just one more of my many pipe dreams.

nice idea, this would also be an option if you had to go afk for a while. Srsly the amount of times ive come back to my comuter and found myself podded because some EXTREMELY funny person has stolen the e ball i was using as an anchor is unbelievable.
this would also be another reason to get a better collector as atm, u can get by well with one from at least the system, not ne cessarily the best.

We had some of these ideas in the old forum, and I like this idea as well.
It is annoying for so many players with a less good collector who might be in an e-field for ages, just for to manage collect a few balls, whilst the players with better collector takes them in front of their noses..
Unfortunately there are players who don't only steal cry and bp's from others, but they steal e-balls as well.
In my opinion that is very low.
I know pirates are pirates, but I don't think even pirates stole the meal of other pirates plates as e is comparable with that.
I would like to see a well or a river in some areas where you could take infinite energy, or big balls as suggested.
If they were made as rivers, or small lakes, that would as well give a new look to the game, it would renew the views what are quite boring on some places as they always stays the same.
Imagine some of those hills and cliffs, and a waterfall coming down from it forming a river or a lake.
You would just choose once with a righclick in the water the command to take energy.
Energy rivers, wells and lakes, hmm, I can see it in my eyes.
This would cut down lots of complains, also cut down the time we spend to take e forever, and it would leave more valuable playing time for the pirates.
It would also justify the 3 h boosters, the time wouldn't be so wasted with e-taking if you wouldn't have to go from one e-spot to another for to get enough.
Sometimes you have to use even 1 hour of taking e out of those 3h you pay a booster with gold, aka real money.
The collector type would just choose the speed of how long it would take for each to get refilled, so it would be righteous that way.
I think this is a valuable idea what the devs could have a bigger thought of.

I was thinking of this when I was collecting e at Venus during a CQ. That the game should have either the Lakes, wells etc but normal e that when you collect, you get the e gradually and the e ball gets smaller the more you take, and when you reach the e cap the collecting stops but the e stays there.. Good if you have low e, need to go afk, you can reach your cap and when you get back you have full e and your not a pod
