Having mined gas at the current snails pace that it's possible to do with t2 harvs and implants, I've wondered over the past week why, when there are highly specialized mining vessels of all other sorts, why there's no possible way to pimp out your gas harvesting output.
Anything would be good. Advanced gas harvesting skill, or a specialized gas vessel, faction variant of the harvesters with less cycle time, etc.

My guess is because gas harvesting has only really picked up since they released WH's
or at least that's my perception of it.
I'm most likely wrong --
Nothing is worthless, you may have gotten it for free but it still has an inherent value

I think it would be nice to have a strip miner version for brges/exhumers say 100m3/cycle or so would be fine

Here are the facts:
The C28, for example, sells for 10k a piece and takes 2 cubic meters. At lvl 5 (a week to learn) one can harvest 9000 cubic meters per hour, which translates into 4500 units and 45 mil isk per hour.
For comparison, a Hulk with good skills (how much training time does it take?) can mine about 6000 units of arkonor (about 7k isk a piece) -- that's 42 mil per hour.

ccp said soemthing about tech 3 mining barges being specialised gas mining ships in the future Signature - CCP what this game needs is more variance in PVE aspects and a little bit less PVP focus, more content more varied level 1-4 missions more than just 10 per faction high sec low sec and 00 |

And you'd be right on that C32 example if you had in fact noted the fact that C32 is 5.0 cubic meters per unit, not two. Meaning that you overestimated your yield by a margin of 150%.
Gas harvesting is a quick train that gives a very moderate yield per hour, topping out at around 10 million isk/hr on anything but C320 and C540... ...which are guarded by battleships that warp scramble at ranges above 50 kilometers.
Not that I've been drooling over those core reservoirs I've scanned down or anything.

You can do a lot better than 10 mill/hour if you're only counting time spent mining and not the time spent finding the clouds and hauling the gas or warping between clouds.
Do the numbers for c50, for example.
