CCP, i'd consider making the rorqual 300mil mass so it can go through mid class wormholes, this will increase activity in wh space for miners and pvpers. |

Might be a good time to rid of the industrial core and make the bonuses passive cause I still can't get my head around why the rorqual needs to lock itself in place to do anything, especially to mine. Dreads and FAXs provide big enough bonuses to warrant the immobility but the rorqual doesn't even come close to being such a force multiplier, even in terms of mining, after this patch.
If PANIC mode was the only reason a Rorqual had to stay immobile for 10-15 mins then I can understand that in the grand scheme of things. Basically, the rorqual will be a sort of guardian/protector for mining vessels in hostile space but to require that the Rorqual to still stay locked down to perform it's activities at reasonable speeds is ridiculous.

Two guys roaming in cruisers should totally have to bring probes Anything they could possibly threaten in a mining operation would warp off grid when they see probes on dscan, before you can even initiate warp to the site. That does not "generate content". You are looking for a problem where there isn't one. There's people who pay for wormhole connection bookmarks already, that connect desirable K-Space systems normally very distant from each other. Large alliances have teams of scouts doing this on a regular basis. Also, you may not be aware of the fact that larger roams that have a fleet commander do in fact bring combat probes. They are constantly used by the FC for warpins when bouncing around a grid. The sense of entitlement that some people have knows no bounds. So because you are roaming, kills should automatically fall on your lap? How about actually working for kills like most people do? Those who take their time to ensure they have the right comp of ships, monitor and track their targets aren't fools. |

Your reasoning is fallacious. Probe or ship triggers it? Then it doesn't matter if probes required or not.
Have you actually tried mining aligned in a hulk before? Your ore hold fills up twice as often as you are allowed to jetcan. You mine sitting next to a freight container. An interceptor can easily jump into the system and warp to the anomaly before the hulk can align, depending on where in the system it is currently spawned.

Hi Tomy, I'm a miner. Nice to meet you. I don't think my operation should be able to completely ignore hostiles in our space, unless they bring a massive fleet that we're going to form for and engage before it gets to me anyway. Miners are not entitled to free security. That is why you have better yield and rare resources in dangerous space - because the activity is interruptible by definition. It's also why the yield increase should mostly come from personal capacity of the ships involved (and therefore at risk) rather than some one fielding a booster. I do not advocate that players should be able to earn resources in total peace but there should be precautions that can be taken to keep you relatively safe, so that both aggressor and defender can be alert and engaged in the process, otherwise, it will be a one-way street. Why should I even bother farming crosses/rocks when farming players is a lot easier and far and away more rewarding?
Different people will have varying levels of concentration, alertness and skill and it will be up to the aggressor to take advantage of that. It's this that makes the hunt enjoyeable not arbitrary limits imposed by the game to make one side very vulnerable. Exhumers and barges still get destroyed by the doves in nullsec despite local and intel networks so why do we still need arbitrary limits imposed to make content? |

Meanwhile a whole bunch of miners who will be giving up using their Rorquals altogether as it will be too easy to gank them and the risks are way to high... The cost of a Rorqual and the drones is huge even taking the insurance into consideration.
Everyone is scared of a rorqual that can fight back. |

1) Nobody mines so "people of New Eden can enjoy ships". They mine for profit. I lol everything I see this miner self righteousness. 2) Probably the ratio of fair fights in Eve is below %1. Can you get over this fact and stop with the "poor defenseless miners" rhetoric. Also PANIC is designed so you can actually defend your mining group with PvP ships now. 3) Eve is a risk reward based game and getting ganked is the risk you take for better reward. You can go back to hisec if you don't want fighting unwanted fights or having to defend yourself. 4) The PANIC button right is designed such that its gonna be too hard or impossible to kill major nullsec groups' Rorquals. It positively discriminates them with too much safety, to the extent it might be way less profitable to mine as a solo/small group anymore. This is bad for miner population too, as much as it is bad for people who hunt Rorquals. I actually like the idea of would be gankers getting caught with their pants down and losing their ships. Maybe more people will man up and roam with better fleet comps instead of the usual T3D/Frig cancer. |

CCP, plz fix the build requirements of the excavator drones. The blueprints are down to 300mil but that doesn't stop a full set of squishy drones costing 2.5bil at the very least. CMON. This is ridiculous on all counts. |

The price will drop as supply increases. We're still in the first few weeks after a patch, we won't see prices stabilize for a month or more. If you want the new goodies early then expect to pay a premium for it. The current price for a set is 6bil and that isn't first day prices so 2.5bil for a set is hoping the mats drop in price to much lower than it ever was even before this drone was announced. |
