Today I saw the most obscene thing, a dreadnought mining in a belt. In 1.0 space no less! Please, CCP, stop this insanity ... huge combat vessels should not be that useful for mining.
Here is a simple suggestion to keep battleships and dreadnoughts out of the mining business: require special hardpoints for mining lasers, just as turret and launcher hardpoints limit the number of weapon turrets/launchers that can be fitted. So maybe you can put one mining laser on your Apocalypse, but not eight of them.

why don't you just let people use the ship the way they want to instead of thinking the entire world revolves around you

Are dreadnaughts even allowed in 1.0 Space? sure that wasnt just a battleship? ---------------------

If he wants to mine in a dreadnaught, let him.

its even more worse than u guys think. this dread can't jump into 1.0. that means it is build in there. AND most 1.0 are too far away from 0.4 to reach that. means this guy is screwed and trapped in there. so i guess mining is the only thing he can do there atm until he has real high jumdriveskills. so just let him...

I might agree with you if CCP could actually give us a sexy mining ship.
But what do we, the backbone of the EvE economy get? The *ugh* barge.
So, unless I get a mining ship that has over 6k armour and can tank the NPC's in 0.1, I think I'll keep on mining in my 'Geddon, and I'll just have to live with your scorn.
It might take a lot of therapy, but I think I'll get by.

its called a hulk and its a sexy beast!
8K cargo, with tech 2 stuff on it mines as well as 2 apocs... yeah thats right.
it has bonus to resitances and over 1K shields... plus 5 tech 2 medium drones fit in their :) 4 mid slots allow the use of a shield booster and a hardener a long with a sensor booster so it can lock at closer to drone range and fairly fast.
as far as mining ina dread, he gets 3 or 4 mining lasers and as some 1 said prolly cant leave that system and frankly in 1.0 i can tank the spawns in sheet of a4 paper so its not like hes actually doing anything special.

The post was mainly directed at the game designers, not at player who (wisely or not) fitted his dread for mining.
It would be more interesting if ships were on a spectrum from great miners (that can't fight well) to great fighting ships (that can't mine well). This spectrum supposedly exists, i.e. barge --> mining cruiser --> battleship, but there is a loophole; battleships also happen to have enough cpu and turret hardpoints to make them excellent miners. To some degree, that loophole makes the other ship types pointless. Why have any other ship if a battleship can do it all?

Edited by: Corisar on 07/03/2006 23:21:03 Im gonna buy me a megathron, fit it with 7 miner 2s, 3 mining laser upgrades and a tractorbeam. Then im gonna find you and mine all your ore :P
The Exhumers arnt all that beasty when you think about it. I mean cmon, lets get a barge that can carry as much as an iteron mk 5, refine its ore in space AND carry more than 3 strip miners. Dont forget the drones either, Doesnt Creodon have any interest in mining ?
