How would you solve for resources you gather from destroyed ships and drop on a planet? Or would you need to?
What if instead of gaining prestige it lowered your resources lost by some amount - maybe even 1 for 1. Or .1 for 1 as suggested in this thread.

When you place resources on a friendly planet or platform your resources lost goes down by that much. When you draw resources out of a Port your resources lost goes up by that ammount. That way you cannont gain pres back for using a port and you get something from mining becaue, lets face it, everyone has gotten blown up.

I'm almost postive that what Nigthsabre said, did not only go for mining. Since everone has infantry on themselves that lowers the amount you can carry and whos going to go around picking up resources and running back to platforms or a planet to drop them just for a tiny bit of pres?
So I say nope dont worry about it. And if its .1 pres its still who cares. If you get a full load on a station and drop it off you just made 1.2 pres.. yay... Its just something to give to players who help the faction out, since mining is needed.

I don't really understand the whole gaining back lost resources... I don't miss them, I would rather make small amounts prestige for mining my factions planets but its still progress...still don't see any Admin or Mod input tho. :s

Lost resources is lost pres, so reduce that number and you make your pres back.

Yes I wonder why there has not been a SINGLE dev or admin response. Almost everything else we say get one, even ones they know they cant do. I really think this is one of the best ideas we've seen in a long time that does not affect core game play so much that it would be unwise to do. I also think this could be implemented with out too much work, but I would REALLY like to see some input from someone who knows more.

I'm not speaking in an official capacity, only as a player, but this has come up a few times before, and there were problems then. I wouldn't get your hopes up; I'm personally neutral on the issue.

What type of problems were there? Is it with implementing something like this or other such problems. Cause I can see it not happening if it would take to long to make it worth while when there are so many other things to work on. I'm really just curious if this is possible to implement more than if its going to happen.

With enough monkeys and enough typewriters, anything is possible.
Not everything needs to reward prestige directly. Mining and resource accumulation are team support efforts that allow for greater capabilities and thus greater prestige gain possibilities in other ships. They're aren't exactly intrinsically beneficial and thus aren't considered prestige gaining activities.
