OK folks, I wanna express my concern about something important to spartan6. Almost every time I have logged on lately and joined up with a group I get stranded alone to watch the egg till she hatches, and the ships that are sitting there inert until they time out. This is cutting into my time for dailies and PVP hunting. I really don't mind sitting on eggs, even if I am not getting any juice from them, but it feels like folks are taking advantage of this (probably not intentionally). I will always help guard resources at any time, even if i don't need the stuff and I feel others should as well. If perhaps you know that you cannot be on long enough to help guard an egg that you found, tell the group so they can decide to take it or not.
You may be thinking, "I left my guns on auto to help out while I'm gone." but I can state as a fact that this does not work. Another thing to remember is that the more ships online means more random npc's show up exacerbating the problem, and if a high level player toaster shows up (happens often) then he gets twice the merits for half the work.
Also take into consideration the distribution of resources in a large group, the max per round is 500 divided by the group number playing at the time of laying the mine. If a player leaves group, the number stays at the original division of points.
So it always seems to end up with me guarding an egg alone for 1/6 of the points and baby sitting one or more other ships that are attracting every toaster for 10 parsecs, and by the time I get done with the mine, I gotta log off myself and did not get dailies done or able to take part in other game activities.
Please tell me what you think about this. I look forward to any opinions or suggestions you may have. Thanx.
