The way I understood it, Procs/Skiffs shouldn't be used in highsec at all now... not that I would mine lowsec, no matter the ship.

Exactlly, but that was the design idea behind the Skiff, nevertheless...

Funny that it did work for so long then... I mean, it all was working 'till "somebody" (we all know who) came along and tipped the scales...

Yea, that's what it is NOW, but there was an older statement claiming that the "small" barges where geared towards deep space mining... I'll try to dig it up.

Hence the only real reason freighters even exist: POS refuling... a fact that always kind of bothered me... such a waste.

And that... but for trading?

No they wouldn't and yes they are hypocrits... alteast this "new breed" of post Goon invasion "pirates".
