I've been reading that the days of the harvie are coming to an end, but is it all true? Are the mining drones that we once knew and loved coming back to the galaxy of EVE?
C'mon, someone with the true knowlege of whats going on, please give an accurate responce! I dont care if they go for 500,000+ it's still better than blowing huge wads of isk for harvies. Is there any written information about there BPO Re-Release? тттттттттттттттттттттттттт ROFLBURGERS тттттттттттттттттттттттттт

The only elite mining drones I've heard about or seen, are the ones people got from loot a long time back, similar to the Harvesters. They're still around, but rarer and even more expensive on the escrow market than the Harvesters.
As for all 'know and love', well, they've never been anything other than rare loot, so even 'back then', they were very rare, so to depict having them as a return to glory days is somewhat false.
There will be no re-release of the bpo's simply because they've never been released in the first place.
I wouldn't expect them to be added when even the simple Standard Mining Drone 1 hasn't been released.

They recently added a lot of entries to the market that aren't released or never will be (multitasking for example has an entry now, but no supply, since it was a skill removed in Beta), it seems it was part of an attempt to fill in missing entries that went a little overboard. (Entries for newbie frigate bpo's anyone?)
I wouldn't read too much into the market, especially blueprints, unless there's a supply of them, and not simply an entry on the list.

I really think that there should be more mining drones but basics available at the market.
I would GLADLY WELCOME better drones than just basics. It is just too damn annoying to have to kill NPC Convoys for Harvesters or buy them for millions which their use will hardly pay back (one drone killed means at least2 hours empire mining for nothing).

Do NPC convoys really still carry harvies? I was under the impression that they'd stopped a long time since, along with local hull expanders.
I got a harvester as an NPC agent mission bonus just after Castor and thought that maybe they were using this as a way of intoducing a limited supply back into the game but have never had one since and only know of a couple of other players who got them so i guess not.

no sign on the market for elite mining drones or a bpo
eve guardian ran an article on the death of the harvester
maybe it's a loot drop again or is going to be introduced via a storyline

Edited by: J'Maybe Keens on 01/09/2004 10:54:25 I was the author of that article on Eve Guardian (read it here )
It was an analysis of what might be driving the pricing of the harvies and if/when the technology to build Elite mining drones is discovered what the future of harvies are.
Depending on if/how Elite mining drones are released onto market, the harvie price fall could be relatively gradual or an overnight collapse.
Read the article and consider if you wish to sink 5-8mill per harvie.
The rumour of the Elite mining drone returning, is no more than that, a rumour. ******** AUTHOR of the COMPLETE mineral and ore Price guide, updated weekly, see Eve Guardian for details

It was an excellent article Mr Keens/Keynes and I am sure, intended or not, it had a direct effect on the market price of Harvies (surely the FSA need to be informed!), I sold mine for 4.5M ea then over the weekend saw the price fall to 3M, it's now back up to 4.5M as people discover no new mining drone BPOs.
TBH, I am well rid of my harvies the extra mining amount needs to be offset against the impending ulcer over the worry of losing them. Better to liquidate my assets whilst I still have them!

Maybe I'm blind and havent seen it on the others, but one thing stood out to me when I looked up the specs on Elite Mining Drones - they're not just mining drones, they have attack values. That puts them in a class of their own, really. If I can pull them off the rocks to blow up a minor rat spawn, I'd have to say they're worth a lot more than any scout or mining drone by themselves.
