Scale the number of haulers and Orcas to match the amount of ore pulled in by the miners?

The problem rather sounds like the Orca could use a few more highslots to fit more tractor beams so it can handle the flow of cans being dumped at the end of every cycleGǪ

You already have more miners than you can handle, apparently, so turn one of those into an Orca or hauler and attack the problem from both ends: more logistics (in the classic sense) to deal with a reduced workload = more ore being collected more efficiently without backing up the production chain.

Many people are suggesting a lot of interesting ideas, but nobody can predict what the Devs will really do. That being said, many players in this thread seem to be directly and/or indirectly suggesting T3 ORE ships. It sure seems like a T3 mining vessel would solve the "tiericide" issues by being massively flexible, and offering capabilities based upon loadout/build/skills. I seriously doubt we will get a T3 ORE ship. That being said, I give two thumbs up for the proposed rethinking/balancing of mining ships.

So, I encourage the Dev Team to give the specs to the fellow who wrote EFT so we can be working out builds for these new ORE ships well before release.

ORCA ?

90.000M3 cargo hold
50.000M3 ORE hold
40.000M3 corporate hanger

no turrets

hence there are remarks made about makin a T3 industiel/Miner that can forefill part of that roll

edit :
on the outpost remark : 1 outpost takes multiple Freighter loads to online .. that is Egg + startup fuel
a station will probably requere dozens of Freighters

jumpfreighters are NOT counted as they have 200-300K capacity and as such not usefull

This is a common fallacy. More supply drives down profit since minerals are based around a supply/demand market. If every miner suddenly doubled their mineral production, mineral prices would nearly half.
It would do nothing but make ships cheaper, in reality.

The bigger problem with the 500 m3 cargo bay is trying to carry T2 mining crystals, each of which is 50 m3.

The cargo bay sizes should be (# of strip miner slots x 500 m3) for each hull. That allows you to carry 9 or 10 T2 mining crystals for each strip miner, which gives you spares, alternate ore crystals.

Or cut the size of T2 mining crystals down to 10 or 15 m3 per unit instead of 50 m3.
