I don't understand why there is still no bonused gas mining ships in the game. Can we please either get a electronics subsystem with bonuses to gas mining, or a new ship with bonuses to gas mining? |

Pretty much what I use. It's nice to get almost 2k m3 to mine into for a while.

That fit pretty much came out of nowhere for me.
I was probing a WH, and discovered a Ladar site. So I hopped over to EFT, to see what kind of a quick ship I could throw together for the gases.
Turns out... Exeq gets a cargo boost for Cruiser skill (didn't pay attention prior), has 4 highs (really don't need to waste weeks training Harvest V just yet), and was super cheap to throw together.
So...
And the best part was, the clouds fit entirely inside. So I only had to make one trip per cloud. |

It's all about the moa! 5 turret hard points and a utility high slot for that probe launcher. Plenty of CPU for T2 harvesters too.

Thanks for the replies. Even if they are worthless. Why post if you're not going to bother to add or discuss it at all? Providing subpar cruiser fits without 4 turret slots? How did I not think of this? --

Subpar cruiser what?
Are you saying the Exeq I have sitting in my hangar is really just a figment of my imagination?
Or do you mean the Industrial that was suggested after me?
Cruiser != Indy, FYI
As for the reason why there aren't any gas harvesting ships, it's probably because it's a rather niche substance. Ore and Ice are used for just about everything, and Mercoxit in all T2 stuff. So that's why they received special focus from ORE.
Now, if there were an organized group of druggies out there, who really REALLY needed a faster way to get their fix... |

I agree a gas subsystem would be nice but i would not like to have a T3 ship as a dedicated gas miner. Until they fix the swapping of subsystems at POS there's no point.
Not sure a specialised ship is needed as there isn't for hacking, analysing and salvaging either. I would however like to see rigs or gas harvester upgrades for the low slots.

I would like to see boosters themselves changed some, maybe make standard grade more usable/transportable in empire so there is more demand for them. It would be cool if the illegality of the boosters scaled with the grades in a way so that standard grade could enter 0.5/0.6 or whatever without customs problems. |

Maybe because of the fact that your cruiser only has 4 turret slots? Or the fact that I didn't make a thread that said, "Hey dudez, can I haz a fitting for gas mining?"
I made a thread about the fact that gas mining has no ship with built in bonuses. Not to give you free reign to try something out because you just discovered EFT. --

I laughed. ...this doesn't even seem to be a regular case of rats fleeing the sinking ship. Seems more like the rats are on fire, the ship is on fire, and the sea is full of drunk Russians. - Jacob Etienne |

Well... it's already been said.
They don't make a Gas ship, because there isn't enough interest lore-wise. Gas doesn't contribute to the "great circle of ISK", except through illegal drugs. So I suppose there could be a pirate faction that makes something. But I wouldn't expect a legal faction like ORE to spring up, focused on drug manufacture.
It's especially unlikely that the 4 governments would devote time and effort to make subsystems. Read the descriptions... specifically that big part above the game effects... and you'll see that all T3s are government projects.
Now if they got around to making Nova Fox's exploration line, they could easily add in a Gas ship with those. |

I don't really see the need for a bonused gas harvesting ship. If it's anything like the exhumers it'll be slow, weak, and hugely vulnerable, and the only gas worth mining that I've ever found is deep inside wormhole space.

No one gives a **** about RP man. Lore is not important in EVE. At all. Join CVA if you want to discuss that.

Gas is needed for T3 production, not just drugs. Maybe get your facts straight before you diss people for lore reasons.
Though the need for a dedicated gasminer is still questionable, there simply doesnt seem to be any big ladar sites ... if you compare them to gravimetrics for example.

Sounds like a niche one of the existing T1 Mining Barges could be slightly modified to fit considering the smallest one is nearly redundant (I forget the name, Procuror?).

There's one in the database, with a 2/1/2 slot layout, called "Test Gas Barge", so assumably it has atleast been considered to that point. Parrots, commence!

This is an extremly important piont.
Its annoying enough as it is that in wormholes, where you get the kit to make T3s, you cant actually use the t3s full potetnial due to the subsystem swap at pos thing!
