Hello. Please take this seriously as I have come up with a brilliant new idea for a ship. It is a caldari ship. and I designed it to be a 'Capital Industrial Ship'. I have drawn some sketches and diagrams of it and even made a model if you want them.
It would have 8 turret hardpoints which can only fit mining lasers (just standard mining lasers not strip miners). It would have about the same mining yield as a Hulk in the end.
It would have a corporate hangar array of around 30,000m3 (just an idea you can design all of this yourself if necessary). A cargo hold slightly lesser than an Orcas. A small jump drive for short range jumps. And a ship maintenance array. and an ore hold.
I have decided to call it the 'Gull'. As most caldari ships are named after birds and gulls scavange in a way.
Thanks for reading. Please let me know even if you do not want the idea.
Yours faithfully Oliver Stoner.

Well some people in game are telling me it is too god to be feesable. Maybe a ship with half the mining yield of a hulk and half the total capacity of an orca? Please can I note I did not intend it to be able to fit mining foreman link modules.

I believe capital industrial ships can be used in high sec but I may be mistaken. I thought it would be a good idea for small mining ops like 1 hulk 1 orca. But if you only have 1 hulk why would you need a whole orca? So this is why I made my idea.

I think that empire macroers will instantly go for the max yield. And a hulk is in that favour. Which pushes me to think that this ship will only be used for honest small mining ops

It doesn't necessarily have to have a jump drive or a corproate hangar array or a ship maintenance array as long as it has a decent ore hold. I would like it to be smaller than an orca and have a yield a bit more than a retriever. All ORE ships have a faction just look under preview e.g. orca is caldari ndustrial command ship. I never designed it for solo miing but small mining ops because 1 gull and 1 hulk is better than 1 orca and 1 hulk as yield is alot more and there is still a decent capacity. Ok?

Great idea but you seemed to lke it so why did you not show support?

So we're onto the idea of being a mining carrier with small cargo but big ore hold. With big bonus' for mining drones. Is there some way we could let is have loads of drones like a normal carrier?

If the ship has a small cargo but big ore hold the miner will need to be at the computer all the time to constantly switch ore from cargo to ore hold am I right? So that completely eliminates the afk mining problem. So atm we are either thinking of a mining carrier.

Darius you obviously haven't been bothered to read this post. It was not designed for solo mining, it was designed for small mininbg ops. And if it is only about teamwork why do people do missions on their own and do pvp on thier own?

Well I think the whole concept of mining needs to be more dynamic. Rather than locking a rock and activating lasers. I'm begin to like the whole idea of a mining carrier here, and If enough people like the idea of having loads of mining drones flying around the place we could ditch the whole idea of having a huge ore hold and make it purely a mining carrier. Anyone like this idea?

Maybe we could also get a large mining drone the size of a fighter.
