Originally by: Metalcali ... they can be fitted to give some defense, but best to have a corp mate fly with you if you wish to be a bit more protected. ...
Where do you find these players who think that watching someone else mine is the best use of their Eve time?
I get along well with the missioners and PVPers in my corp, but they're not exactly tripping over themselves to sit in a belt with me and my hulk in case of gankers.
Seriously -- That's what I always hear every time a miner dares bring up the fact that we're helpless in unarmed, slow-moving targets. Why would players who could be making isk running level 4's or ratting in low-sec sit in a belt watching other players' mining lasers?
If you are in a corp with good people you will find some, also I wouldn't mind doing it myself sometimes, and if you know that there could be activity in the area and don't wish to relocate would be another reason for someone to watch your back. Not to mention many players have alt accounts for various reasons so it wouldn't be a stretch to think they have the ability to log on their mission runner or pvp alt to guard themselves.
Just because you don't see it or know people who would like to be friendly or help others in their corp doesn't mean they don't exist. ---

We do not need more Ships for Mining, we need less lvl 4 Loot to make Mining worthy again. That's the whole problem. A Developer already posted that the gros of Minerals is NOT coming from Mining but from LvL 4 Loot and Drone Regions. But this thread will be flamed down as all the others about Mining. regards --------------------------------------- Sometimes it pays to stay in bed in Monday, rather than spending the rest of the week debugging Monday's code. ~Dan Salomon |

Mining Barges = Defence of a Cruiser/Offence of a Frigate Exhumers = Defence of Battle-Cruiser/Offence of a Cruiser
I'd love to see a Next Level of this Defence of Battleship/Offence of a Battle-Cruiser, even if the Mining ability is Lowered back down to a Mining Barge Level. So that you can safely mine in LS without dying to a Solo PvPer.
...
I'd also love to see a Ship that had the same Mining speed as a Skiff but able be to hold as much as an Orca :) For those days that you really don't feel like paying attention to the game, watch a movie and not completely loose out on making a few ISK.

You want to make high sec mining MORE profitable.....im in high sec AND im a miner and what your proposing is just a way to sit in a belt and do nothing all day while playing wow on another computer. I mean high sec is MORE then profitable enough as is, mining in high sec is sufficiently more profitable as is as well. So take a lesson and mission....manufacture, but don't ask for more mining ships cause your not getting isk fast enough. I dare you to mine in low sec or 0.0 and see how fast you lose isk as opposed to gain it. Be thankful high sec is profitable enough as is.

I actually already use 2x hulk and 1x Orca (gotta love having 3 accounts) to mine whilst watching TV.
Have a look at my suggestion above, both suggestions for new ships stated to Lower the amount mined, but change something else about the ship setup :)
