I am using a Ferox quite efficiently. Simple, cheap, resilient (but it is not needed)
5x Gas harvesters in highs Expanded cargoholds in Lows
That's all
Note: That doesn't mean that I don't like the idea of a gas harvesting ship although it would be a very "niche" ship.

I used a myrm. You can fleet with someone and put a gang link in the 6th slot for decreased cycle time. I don't think it's really necessary for a ship.

I've done a little research on which ship would be 'best'.. imho, the Hurricane is the best gas harvesting ship at the moment.
It has the most cargo space along with the capability of using 5 gas suckers and a gang link.
A real gas harvesting ship would be very nice though... Stuff that it should have (IMHO): 5 turrets and room for a gang link, along with gang link bonusses to harvesting gas. Cargo space to actually suck up an entire cloud. Increased range on Gas harvesters.
nice to have: Bonusses on ECM or something like that. Warp Strength bonus.

I'm so happy for the input on Topic
If we take in count that any ship today with 5 turrent hardpionts and a ganglink is todays T1 Gassharvesting ship, we can think ahead and explore several possibilities to find a more specialized ships for the task. I see several solutions, such as a gas harvest specialist skill book, which requires lvl 5 in the basic skill and is a direct open access to the new ship. Where each level gives strength in the ship's bonus system.
Must admit that the simple solution here would be to give Noctis such opportunities and let it be a separate book that allows for this type of use.
What do you all think about this?

There is already the skill (and book): Gas Cloud Harvesting "Skill at harvesting gas clouds. Allows use of one gas cloud harvester per level."
Aother simple solution, if there is no willing to introduce a new specific ship, is to keep using what is the best actually, a battlecruiser hull and enhance the "Gas Cloud Harvesting" skill to something like this:
* Allows use of one gas cloud harvester per level. * +150 m3 cargo capacity per level. * 5% reduced harvesting time per level. * +1 warp strength.

CCP did discuss re-tasking the small tech1 mining barge to gas mine since it does not get used for anything else.
There has been a number of discussions about dedicated gas mining ships in the features and idea's forum. That is were one of the DEV's mentioned re-tasking the small barge to gas mine.
At the moment its like the old mining days before barges, all those lovely combat ships, sitting around not blowing stuff up. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |
