For me it would be better if the exhumers got the Transport ship treatment. i.e. make two varients of one (or maybe even varients of different hulls) of the ships: one with reduced sig radius and cloak capable and the other highly tanked with WCS bonuses.
I would be much more inclined to go ninja mining into lo or nul sec in a cloak capable barge with cloaked capable hauling support. |

Biggest issue I see is the lack of a low skill mining frigate. If ccp want to encourage would be miners to try it out, you cant do that by having the first ship as a specialized skill dependent frigate.
No racial mining frig or cruiser = no miners mining while training for specialized mining ships.
Someone cried about how this will make mining more solo and it destroying the core of what is an MMO, yeah because solo ganking is so in line with an MMO :) |

This will make mining less solo, I'd think. Because anyone who cares about isk/hr would have to mine in a system where they can protect themselves.
Also, you can mine well with any frig that has a lot of highslots. At least as well as the specialized mining frigs could, surely. |

I don't see this revitalizing low sec mining. If anything it will maintain the status quo even more. High sec is now safer for afk miners. I think the big ore bay and the big tank will be enough to encourage miners to step down a notch from the hulk...especially since they are making non-hulk yields be closer to what the hulk can do.
Meanwhile, anyone who can do organized mining ops will stick to hulks and mine where it is most profitable.
That said, depending on the exact specifics of the new ships, there *may* be a use for low sec mining.
In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse. |

Umm...the dev blog says there's a low-barrier ORE frigate in the works. It even has artwork attached. I suspect (and have suggested already) that the ORE frigate skill will be a freebie as part of the industrial career arc.
It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |
