Thank you for missing the whole point of my post asking for the ability to fit mining lasers on the Leviathan. |

I refuse to accept this unacceptable racial discrimination against Caldari pilots that want to use their titans to mine ore/ice/gas. |

The specialized mining rigs only exist as a holdover from previous Mining Barge designs. A little while ago they were all specialized for one type of mining. When that was removed, the rigs were added to keep similar mining rates without having the bonuses be on the ships. Since the Prospect and Discovery are already bonused toward certain types of mining, a rig bonus would be somewhat redundant.

people seem to think that w/o a cov ops cloak this thing is screwed
with the cloak bonus it does get it will be able to get to warp speed de-cloak and run similar to a BLOPs
is it as easy on the pilot? no does it lower the risk on a pilot who knows what they are doing? yes
only thing extra i could see this thing needing a the ability to be bridged
but i'm sure it will be used even w/o that my guys will just stick with the prospect if that's the case

But frigs you kind of get forced into what you fly by what you're mining based on the bonuses
its still a choice just based on different things
if i go ice mining it is still safer that i do it in a prospect but i could do it faster in the discovery
its just more nice

Yield is already covered by Hulk, Ore bay is covered by Mackinaw and EHP is covered by Skiff (including their t1 variants)
How do you balance 2-3 smaller/cheaper ships around the same metrics without them being useless or OP? Find new ways to balance them (diffrent roles). |

It would be better to make one frig just for general purpose without mining bonuses and other just for mining ore/ice/gas without cyno bonus. And give both ships +2warp stab |

And you can do this in any small ship. Also if you hauling through WH you just may wait until direct to hisec one opens. |

All races have a T1 industrial that can haul 20k+ with max skills and extender (not counting rigs), these ships cost around 2.5m including fitting. 15k ore hold on a 15m T2 frigate will not change much... |

A frigate with a 15000 m3 ore holed? Dumb
It should have been a cruiser class venture that does multiple things including ice mining, ore mining and gas harvesting. The venture and the prospector are two ships that are either too hard to catch or not worth the effort involved in catching them. A cruiser hull would be better balanced.
A cruiser class industrial with low mass, the best gas harvesting in game and the ability to fit these new small ice harvesters would have been perfect... But no, we get another dumb little frigate.
Dear eve players, please try and use the word "content" less and instead, be specific. Thanks

Well... aren't the mining barges technically cruiser-sized vessels?
A 15km3 Ore Hold on the Discovery isn't going to break the balance of mining ships or ore delivery, and bear in mind it's designed as an ice miner, it needs the space to hold the ice if we're not gonna be getting auto-ice-compression like people have asked for. For its designed usage, the Discovery will be as easy to catch as any non-interceptor non-covert ops frigate could be, what with not being nullified or being able to warp while cloaked. It would still have to burn to the outside of warp bubbles, and could quite easily be decloaked on the way. I think it's fine as it is. |

I am so glad you are doing this, however it really needs a covert ops cloak, and a throw away T1 ice mining frigate would be a very good idea too while you are at it.
My earlier comments on the Prospect being naff in another thread was incorrect, I fitted an AB and a specific rat tank and speed tanked the cruiser rats in NPC 0.0 and it did OK, though I had to bring in another toon every so often to clear the rats if the tank got eaten into too much. I note that the Discovery has drones which helps a bit, but at the cost of the covert ops cloak, damn that.
But it does give me options now for ice mining and hence to get the fuel for the new structures that I did not have before in my logistic hell location in Stain.

He said defend, not writhe in pain for 5 minutes until backup arrives or its tank ruptures. The drones could at least gat a durability bonus or something. Even the rats scoff at them. |

The Skiff and Procurer both have a 50% role bonus to drone damage and hitpoints, that's pretty much exactly what you just described |

About the same time we'll get a combat ship that can mine for its own replacement reasonably well while still being effective combat vessel.

I'm not saying it definitely will happen, but in territories prone to ganking, it has a fair chance. The ship is probably going to be a smaller loss (financially) than a mining barge, and generally easier to escape with - although, like always, the best way to not get caught is to safe up when reds/unknowns enter local. |

Not sure that this will be very interesting game play for expeditionary pilots.
It will take awhile to scan into and out of shattered WHs. Even then, with a small cargo bay for ice, time and effort required for such miniscule payouts will make this short lived. You might as well do data sites in high sec.
You should consider removing ice belts from high sec and having them as random spawns throughout ALL WH space. Similar to ore.
- The argument about restricting ice from WH space is old now. We have no moon goo, ice would be fine. - Frankly, living in POSs is enough of a freak show. Bring the snow... - More day trippers, more targets.
Lastly, I am disappointed you did not take the opportunity to make this a T3 hull. It is an obvious fit. Will we need to wait another 7 years before you give us anything else T3?
Viability of WH space is a demand problem, not a supply problem. Seven more years is too long to wait.
You could easily fix the T3 D price point by introducing another T3 ship to compete with materials instead of having to throttle melted nano-ribbons drop rates... yet again.
Please look at this.

You can get a ship now with 5 gas harvesters, just unbonused. Look at the old Ferox gas mining builds. I would argue the Venture is definately optomized for gas harvesting. Regardless of the skill description, the fact you need GH5 to fit harvester 2s is sufficient to train to that level. |
