You might as well. It was always a badly designed ship It was never worth taking to a belt. Its been nothing but a p.o.s array giving mining boosts and ore compression for years. You have murdered the ships purpose by giving its roles away to other things. Put the ship out of its misery, refund its owners isk, refund people who can fly it sp. Take the final step and add a p.o.s array that gives mining boosts, as you did its ore compression role. Use the roqual model for a future expedition ship... make it a crap ton smaller and give it a new name and role.
Or just rebalance the roqual, make it worth taking into a belt... I don't know give it a build cost reduction, a bigger tank and fighter sized mining drones. For the love of cake, just do something soon.

But... But... It transforms...
Also, I don't think the Rorquals supposesed to be at a belt. I could be wrong though, I haven't done industry, ever... Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

Then turn it into a expedition ship. and have it transform in to a mobile cloaked mini station for storing ore, for expedition miners.

Rorqual however has it's uses when you need to jump and setup a POS or other stuff in semi-hostile places, since an ordinary carrier (or JF for that matter) can't do it.

It was designed to be in belt. However its high cost makes it to much of a risk to be taken to a belt. The benefit of taking it to a belt is far too low with the risk of losing so much.. quite high. Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris |

No its not a nerf non-highsec miners thread.. Im trying to get you a buff / revamp. Those boosts are not worth the investment, having a ship that does not leave a p.o.s shield is insane. Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris

You keep saying "you", so I felt addressed, yet I can assure you I had nothing to do with any of those things you accuse me of.
I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Point taken. Rest assured Im not addressing any one person im just shouting at the world. If I am addressing any one its the dev team who are charge of industry ships. Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris

2nd person who has mentioned high sec. I would be strongly against the rorqual having anything to do high sec. I am simply saying the ship needs revamped. It has given away too many roles to other things, I want devs to look at its risk to reward ratio.. make it worth taking into a null sec belt.
The ship was meant to act as the Orca does. Be out boosting and storing ore in a belt, But then also transforming and compressing the ore. That is not how the ship is being used, and now that it is not needed for compression, I think its time it is given a rebalance. Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris

Ok, so they'll remove it and then (5 patches later) give me some abortion of a ship that probably will be used for hotdropping gangs?

Rorqual Clone Vat Bay in worm hole space allows worm hole corps to stay in their system even in combat. You could argue it has been pigeon holed to absurdity but so many ships in EVE are victims of that fate. |

They did in the Crius threads in F&I where they initially proposed the compressor plans and were made aware of it back then.
It's on their road map and has been since then, but wasn't feasible to make it into Crius. The Drake is a Lie |

You're wrong, it was intended to be used in belts; it had a ridiculous tractor range. But CCP hates miners so as they rorq is nothing but a glorified killboard anchor, it has resided in POS's for the last several years.

Rather than get rid of it (I have a CE skin somewhere, so let's not) just make it useful for something. Perhaps enhance how it is used for dropping POS, since it's used for this anyway. Or for dropping a variety of of deployables. Maybe a highslot mod/bonus to speed up onlining or shield regen. Gives us some sort of reason to sit there transformed just admiring the effects.

On a side note - your wrong about the JF's; mine can set up POS's quite efficiently. The last guy I knew who had a rorq refined it as all it ever did was sit in station. The boosts are good, but are only applied in deployed mode. Take it to a belt? You can do that, just fit a cloak, sit 200km off the belt and watch local, and pray to the gods for protection from awoxers.
My alt is maxed out on the rorq, but has never sat in one, because that would be it - sit there. All day. Every day. I can think of more interesting activities for my toons.
In short - the ship never truly excited me. I am a pod pilot: http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/DesertIce/POD.jpg
