What? No Covert Ops Barge???
(This may have been mentioned already, but I didn't read all 38 pages...)
Actually, since we (my main's corp) have taken to flying Rokh Fleets, these changes are highly welcome and will (pretty much) render the Rokh osolete as a mining vessel. I mean, if we get a ship with yields and tankage as good as or better than the Rokh's, except with a large ore bay, we'd be very happy. |

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. |

A point that needs to be taken into consideration GÇô if that is possible we will integrate it into the Skiff, Skiff?! really? It has one, count em - one, high slot! a dedicated gas miner has to be better than or equal to 5 t2 gas harvesters - which we currently have to fit to battleships in order to mine gas. Since more gas harvesting is done in WH's, the ship should be able to handle sleepers (perhaps with help) (T3 hull?) while doing it's thing. Anyway.. I hope "Skiff" isn;t the finally outcome.
Well, with only one mount point for a harvester means it would have to be a Medussa style head - one unit with multiple suction heads on flexible hoses that whip about in the gas cloud.
It's doable, but I doubt it.
The idea of a dedicated gas harvester is pretty cool. |

Drone Bay size: I was just on SiSI and the Hulk and Mac still have 50m3 drone space, Skiff 15m3.
I may have missed some proposal of drone bay size. I hope they are not planning what SabuMaru posted, this would be bad.
The Hulk might make sense as you could deploy a full flight of mining drones and, if in fleet as intended, you won't need the protection from ratz. On a Mack, it would be a disaster. On a Skiff, only 3 light drones just seems stupid. What are you supposed to do with only three drones?
Also, I said the day the new ORE ships went onto SiSi that the mack is seriously cap and CPU constrained. This needs some review. I'm okay with difficult fittings, and I understand that the constraints are there to force a choice between tank and yield. But the Mack is just impossible at this point. It can't fit a fully active 4-mid-slot buffer+resist tank. You have to use a passive component somewhere. This seems to defeat it's intended role as a soloist.
