Also some quick fixes they could implement on the current rorqual by just changing some numbers around: 1. Double the ore hold capacity. 2. lower the cycle time of capital tractor beams dramatically. 3. double the speed of capital tractor beams. 4. remove the ship maintenance bay restriction. 5. bump up its agility 6. increase its warp speed. 7. add a additional high slot(s) for more tractor beams for a dedicated hauling rorqual. 8. cut cycle time of siege module to 60 seconds. |

why not make a capital Micro Jump drive unit that only the rorq can use.
make the capital version jump you 200km.

Mid slots are limited on it as is, not sure if this would work. The rorqual can already jump to any cyno beacon. Its the siege module that keeps it in place. |

THe plan for the Rorqual is awaiting Goon approval. CCP's first iteration didn't serve their purpose. Since the Goons are so industrialy centered they have a large stake in this. |

It's so slow on align that any thing sub-cap can catch it and bump it out of alignment, at which point it doesn't matter if you have +1000warp core strength, you still aren't going anywhere but home in a pod.

In my personal opinion, I think that the Rorqual got the Ore hold that the Orca should have got. |

It took me nearly two years to train up a magnificent on-grid Rorq pilot.
To say I'm looking forward to a rebalancing is an understatement.
Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass! |

Because it is a low-grade jump portal, it is not safe for organic or processed material (i.e. people, ships, modules, etc., tend to get their molecular structure "re-aligned" during transit.) Fuel costs are very low for this ore only portal.
Ore ejected from the exit point of the "ore portal" undergoes "loot spew". Thus, a mobile structure and PoS module that is a combination of "ore cyno," tractor beam, and cargo hold would be needed to "catch" the ore. Loot spew??? Damn, that'd be worth implementing for the name alone.

The only way they can make the rorqual not be **** and make it only boostable outside the shield is if mining sites go back to being needed to be scanned down. |

Turn the Rorqual into a mobile POS, with shields and all, where you can anchor defenses around it like a POS. Of course, would have to be much easier to kill than an actual POS, like with no reinforcement or anything like that, but still would be kind of neat to have the ability to have a mobile POS that can be "anchored" in belts or wherever. |

The Rorq still does not require any power or CPU from the POS so there is that advantage. -á-á- remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not-á "afk" cloaking-á-

If the Rorqual doesnGÇÖt have the ability to do something unique it will become Null SecGÇÖs Jump Freighter/Ore Hauler and Whipping Boy. This is what the Orca should be changed to, with a large ore hold, since it can travel in High Sec.
Part of me would like it if CCP made is so when the Industrial Core is engaged on the Rorqual it would produce a 20km password protected shield bubble, like a small mobile POS. Maybe 5mil HP to the shield Bubble? They would not really have to change the ship then as it already produces strong boosts, has a large ore hold and 1mil m3 fleet hanger. Not to mention being able to fit a clone vat.
1.It would force the Rorqual to have to leave the bubble to provide the extra mining boosts 2.It would still give a chance for PVP as there would be no POS guns so the defenseGÇÖs would be just the bubble, the ship defenses itself and whatever ships they keep in fleet hanger. 3.Unless someone keeps bringing in the Heavy Water they would run out in about 2 hours if they didnGÇÖt keep refilling it.
But I will concede that I do see exploits with this, the biggest, being able to setup safe spots with the shield bubble during large PVP fights. Also I could see someone warping it into the middle of fight and engaging the shield, ejecting away all non-corp members from the shield. Or dare I say on a WH?
I do understand that CCP doing the programming for a feature like this would be a monumental feat in itself. As I know that they currently have to program the interaction of every module and item, visible or not, with the POS shield bubble. Then they would have to double that interaction, make it mobile and add in items like asteroids, WH and other celestial objects.
So refine them if you got them or sell them for a bargain in Low Sec.
