The recent Equinox expansion in EVE Online has significantly altered the game’s mining dynamics, leading to a spike in the Mineral Price Index (MPI). The changes introduced new mining upgrades, allowing sovereignty system owners to customize ore types in their space, aiming for greater flexibility and self-sufficiency. However, these modifications have resulted in increased micromanagement and labor, with the value of mining sites now spread across smaller, more numerous asteroids. This shift has made mining less efficient and less appealing compared to other activities like ratting, which now offers a better ISK/hour ratio.
To address these issues, a major update on March 12th will adjust mining sites to contain larger asteroids with more ore, introduce T3 mining upgrades with 3.5-3.6 times the ore of T2 sites, and increase the refinement rate of Mordunium by about 5%. Additionally, the cost of running Metenox Moon Drills will rise by approximately 35% to balance their economic impact. These changes aim to restore balance and efficiency to the mining profession, with ongoing adjustments planned based on community feedback and economic data.
