Been reading over the mining improvements and alot of them sounded great. One idea caught my attention and i would like to see what everyone thinks. Mining needs more improvement as of right now the hulk (with correct skills and modules) can mine the most for a given time. However prop fitted bs can come pretty close. After the Hulk comes the orca or the roqual which really gimp the miner as his income since you need a gang for those to be useful.
New rorqual Drones. These can be like fighters from the carrier, require the same skills however these drones won't fight. They will have a cargo bay of around 10k and maybe 2 or 3 for the rorqual. these "hauler drones" can be warped to fellow miners and the miner will be able to open like a can and transfer ore or mining crystal to and from these drones, drones could warp back to rorqual. This would allow less people needed for mining operations as you wouldn't need a hauler. Downside to this is they can only be used in deployed mode.
Another suggestions
high module slot which allows it to fit 5 strip miners, again only usable in deployed mode and a armor and structure hit point reduction.
this module would increase the range of normal strip miners but it alters the deployed cycle time to 20 min, this would insure a guarded rorqual and can't be used for solo, small group mining.

Allowing the Orca/Roq to field fleets of mining drones would be a great idea imo.
Allows the ship to contribute more and allows the owners of these ships to be able to use it without depending on a fleet.

Capital ships are not designed to be deployed without support.

Edited by: Micki Hann on 20/10/2009 04:26:06 well my op. is to not allow the use of 1 ror. they were designed as mining support. however many miners own these ships and really only 1 is needed for a mining op. this would allow people who have trained and have bought this to be used in conjunction. Its not a big increase from the hulk only 166% (5 strip to 3) but a 2 bil ship to 100 mil ship should get an increase to mining yield. its a risk vs reward. if a pilot wants to bring his hulk he can, or he if wants to outfit the ror for mining and the increase stationary time he can.

a properly fitted BS can not mine as much as a hulk.
a BS can mine closer values to the retriever

I know this idea is not to take away gang operations. However the ror. is the only captital ship which is makes no sense to have 2 of. Would one carrier or one dread be enough for a pos siege? Not likely. This allows the ror to be more useful so those people for mining ops can choose to bring theirs for the extra 66% more or hauling. risk vs reward.
the 20 min deployed cool-down for the strip miners would make solo mining kinda tough because your a sitting target for a full 20 min
