Wait; Can an orca field excavator drones aswell? |

Figured. Else, why even bother to train for a rorq if an orca can do the same but at 20% of the price, lol.
Anyhow, the rorqual looks to be a decent miner. You should know that the base fit to rake in hundreds of millions of ISK an hour costs a good bit of investment (Read: 8/9 b ISK) to start with. And you'd be flying it in null-sec, not the safest place to begin with. |

Seem weird to me that they would want to nerf the this when it seems like it is finally a way for miners to make as much money as Carrier ratting or even more than highsec incursions. I currently run highsec incursions and have found a good community to do it with. But it would be nice to have a more passive way of making isk that doesn't require me having to wait on a waitlist or for fleets to be up.
Do keep in mind that you'd be flying a 7/8b ISK target through nullsec. You'll want there to be fleets up, or atleast ready on the go whenever they get the drop on you. Besides that, you'll need to compress ore continuously, so while it is passive ISK, you do need to actually make it work. And while the 300m isk/hour rate is a technical truth, more realistic numbers (transporting the goods, etc) would put you at 200m ISK/hr. So that's atleast 40 hours of mining to earn back the initial investment. And thats 40 hours in which you really want everything going for you :-)
So yes, the rorq is good. It's also a real juicy target for basically everyone that isn't you. |
