Here's my idea on this whole lot situation...

#1: Make it so that people can no longer build Harvesters on their 10 standard lots, Harvesters can only built on a new type of lot called Harvester Lots, Only Miners will have access to these lots.

#2:Allow Archetects to build Harvesters up to BER 18.

#3:Make it so that Harvesters Admin rights cannot be shared, but still allow Hopper-Empty rights to be assigned.

#4:Make it so that Harvesters Slowly degrade over time (When turned on), This should be slow, not over night, but there needs to be some sort of degredation to represent wear and tear. some sort of forumla where the BER rating drops about 1 point per every 3-4 weeks of continious use.

#5:Create a new "Miner" Skill, looking something like this.

Note: EXP Would be gained mining resources

Novice Miner: 10 Harvester Lots, Abbility to place small/personal harvesters (BER 1-4)

Claim Expansion I

+10 Harvester Lots

Claim Expansion II:

+10 Harvester Lots

Claim Expansion III:

+10 Harvester Lots

Claim Expansion IV:

+10 Harvester Lots

Equipment Knowledge I:

Allows placement of Larger Harvesters. BER 5-7

Equipment Knowledge II:

Allows placement of Larger Harvesters: BER 8-10

Equipment Knowledge III:

Allows placement of Larger Harvesters: BER 11-13

Equipment Knowledge IV:

Allows placement of Larger Harvesters: BER 14-16

Equipment Efficiency I:

Harvester Maintenance Fee 95% of normal

Equipment Efficiency II:

Harvester Maintenance Fee 90% of normal

Equipment Efficiency III:

Harvester Maintenance Fee 85% of normal

Equipment Efficiency IV:

Harvester Maintenance Fee 80% of normal

4th Skill tree.... Any ideas?

Master Miner:

+ 10 Harvester Lots

Allows placement of Largest Harvesters. BER 16-18

Equipment Maintenance Fee 75% of normal

One thing is for sure: If they make a miner profession, I'm getting myself a second account!

I will try to be as self sufficient as possible! Well, as an Architect anyways!

We definitely need more lots as architechs, shipwrights do too, but they can always sell there wares easily to buy more resources. We as architechs are faced with the problems that we can only hold a finite amount of resources, and said resources are used up fairly quickly, in most cases faster than you can pull from the ground with one or two accounts.

Apprenticeship XP is SOE's way of telling me that my hours of grinding to get to where i can get mastery is gonna be interrupted by a 1-2 week process of training other people who probably are gonna use NPC trainers....sounds like my idea of fun...

Maybe give architechs and shipwrights a scaling bonus to harvesting ore (architech) and steel (shipwrights). Should be relatively easy to implement, and would be a significant boon to us resource grinders.
