As I sit and ponder this game, a thought poped into my head. We have deployable tractor beams yes... What about deployable miners? "Why would you even think such a thing RAIN Arthie... just no!" That would suck the fun and blah blah... Well I myself find mining a bit dull. However I do like to build stuff...weird I know. What about a deployable miner that can sit and mine for 1 hour at a time. Or fills up frequently enough you have to be near by. Alter the yeilds on the barges to pull more yeild to entice people to sit out there and consume the belts along side what the deployable miner pulls. Hualers will be need possibly. The market.... prices may drop a bit and so will supply and demand...possibly. If anything, it may give the goons more of a challenge during the next hulkageddon or burn jita. I like the idea of undocking and dropping a deployable in a belt and then go ratting while it eats rocks. Make the deployable programmable to only eat certain types of ore or all of the ore. If someone comes along and shoots it to appease the whiners, make it a kill mail? Just a thought, maybe you guys have a way to improve this idea or not. I am just stuck in the crack of pve and miner. Only so many hours in a day. |

1. Move to F&I
2. No. I like balance. I am also a miner. For these reasons I can tell you this is a bad idea. Now, a deployable SALVAGER, to match the tractor beam, that would be awesome.
Just that hint of cynicism the world needs now and then. |

Actually that's pretty much what I do. I give them money and they give me ISK in the form of bearer bonds called PLEX. I then liquidate them at my leisure or as the need arises.

Or be able to attach mining drones to the deployable. The "doing less for more" was not my thought process behind this. I like to call it multi tasking. |

I can see where he's coming from. After all the precedent has been set with mobile tractor units and mobile siphons.
However I don't think a mobile mining unit is a good idea at all.
And as you say it's certainly NOT multitasking |

multitask m-îlti-êt+æ-Ésk/ verb 1. (of a person) deal with more than one task at the same time. "parenting skills such as multitasking and concentrating amid distractions are easily transferable to the workplace"

We arent discussing multiboxing, we are dicussing Deployables.
Whether or not Multiboxing counts as multitasking is nothing to do with the topic being discussed here.

You defined multitasking, I made the passive point that people can save money by not having to by multiple mining characters and sit in a belt and preform multitasking with the same oucome using a deployable mining device. |

If thats the case, what would the purpose in your proposed mining device be?

Refer to original post.
Purpose to help EVE players not have to buy multiple accounts to accomplish mass mining. Also because when the fleet needs you for a damn CTA you can continue your mining with a deployable unit. How is this so hard to understand? |

Really... a mobile pvp inhibitor deployable, or perhaps a mobile insta-CONCORD deployable would be interesting for mining with as well...

Its not hard to understand. Im walking you to the same conclusion I came to.
If your original post essentially boils to "Why not MTMUs"
Then the answer is;
Multiboxing it may be, but it doesn't generate extra accounts for CCP, so it wont happen.

Just say that then.... LOL
Possibly however... and just hear me out... Lots of ore would be mined with my idea correct? Ore is mined with vigorous intent, prices drop for ore however it will be cost effective to keep ship building at max. More ships= more battles-- possibly. I guess it would be a market ploy with combat in mind. |

I think that the only conflict it would drive would be the agressive destruction of MTMUs
A lack of ships is not what prevents the drive of further conflict.
I have my own theories on that, but they are not relevant to a discussion on proposing new deployables.
