Could you please explain to me in detail why you think this change is so hard on Null sec hulk users, naturally in the context of the hulk as a fleet ship?
I haven't said that it will make mining in Hulks impossible - I just said it will be more complicated, and this only for 0.0 (I assume low-sec miners aren't present anyway, but for the sake of the argument, they are affected aswell) miners. Other than that, they serve no purpose at all. There is no benefit, and no decision involved with them.
And that's the problem I have - changing stuff without the need for it, without accomplishing nothing else than inconvenience is - akward by design.
This is what I don't get how is it more complicated you choose either yield, cargo or tank and away you go. I think the main fault here is that you still want full yield but with no draw backs. Times change, Hell I am looking forward to skiff mining
It is slightly "more" inconvenient to use 10 logi-drones instead of 5 and to move crystals from orca - hulk - strips instead of just from the hulks cargo into the strips. This has nothing do to with a decision between yield, tank or cargo. Noone will switch from Hulk to mack or skiff because of it - thus: this changes don't serve any purpose.
to make it even more clear: it is one thing to decide between hauling with an orca or using macks over hulks which just reduces the need to haul. This is a good change, and I fully support it. This is a decision which will have to be made in the future.
And here's the point you still haven't gotten: What is the point in reducing hulks crystal space so it can't fit a full rack for 0.0 clusters? Okey, it is annoying - but if you still use hulks after the change - you will have a hauler and can store them in jetcans/Corp-hangar. This doesn't go into the decision mentioned above, just because it is not more than a little annoying.
Decisions will be made between "Do I want to mine afk (Mack), for max yield (Hulk) or for max safety (skiff)". Oh, and regardless of which one you choose, you can make it work even in 0.0. How "annoying" it is will change nothing.
So again, what's the purpose of this, besides annoying 0-0 miners?
