the eMine armor had The Predator movies type camouflage?
I was just thinking about this event and how many are opting out or not all that thrilled about the prizes. Most miners either don't use any armor or like me both mine and hunt and already have a daily use set. So it got me thinking what kind of armor would benefit a miner? Which made me think of PVP3&4 and other than a serious PK armor what would a miner want? Well to be invisible (by invisible I mean another player cannot drag your health bar either due to the armor camouflage fields disruption) and harder to PK while mining in the more lucrative spots in EU.
From a miner’s stand point it would make sense. I mean other than the weight on eMine armor compared to others of similar stats its uber protection by any means and the coloring IMO screams "PK me!"
I also thought about another game I play where mining is a big aspect of the game play and the mining ships while not very maneuverable can with stand a lot of punishment. So I don't know why this concept is not carried into new products developed for miners. High durability and can withstand a lot of punishment from various elements like mobs and PKers.
Think about it what do miners really need and what kinds of toys do they want? Better finders, better amps, customizable maps, TP chips that work with focus chips, claim locators, auto-extractors, ability to use pets as pack animals, new tools to salvage wreckage, etc, etc.
So let me know if I have missed anything or if you have any ideas we might pack up and send to Genesis Star to give miners what they really need and want. Also what would you consider a prize worthy of a mining event? Big amp? Un (L) equipment, or something else unique?
Thanks ahead of time
