I'm still new in Eve and have a closer look on the newbie situation.
I support the suggestions for a Tech2 Mining Frigate.
If the Mining Frigate will come up with lowest entry level, means a gift for career level 1 mining missions, there is no need to use it for lowsec/0-sec ninja mining. For instance a ninja miner could be colored different. More than the Mining Barges.
A Tech2 ship could take over the use of former mining cruisers like the Caldari Osprey. There might be Tech2 modules to give this Mining Micro Barge a sense. Procurer got a high level defense. Maybe the Tech2 Frig could have some special features for surviving 0-sec but reachable earlier in the game, than a mining barge.
Mining Frigate need Level 1 Skill "ORE Frigate", whats given each starter instead of faction frigate skill on level 3. Last might be nerfed to level 1 or 2 for Newbies.
So a Tech1 frig may have a 1500 m^3 ore cargohold, whats really nice for entry level. Tech2 could have up to 5000m^3.
The Tech2 Ore Frigate requires the Ore Frigate Level 5 (3x multiplicator). Remember level 1 is given for all.
ORE Industrial Skill may need ORE frigate level 3 or 4. |

tbh the only way there will be another miner is if its for a new mining source or something bigger for gas mining as the move from mining frig to barge to exhumer isnt as steep as what it use to be its self contained
Well. Several times I read about the "ore compression" feature. Maybe a deep space miner (for instance a Tech2 frigate) could compress a low quantitiy of ore from its ore cargohold to the regular cargohold... Or the Frig could get a multislot module what can compress a low amount of (common) ore to jetcans as long as the needed fuel is available in cargohold... anything like this.
There might be options, what can make a Tech2 frig more interesting. Gas an ice harvesting too of curse.
If the signature radius of mining frigates is small enough, they might be interesting in lowsec. Moreover they could get an option to fit scan probes or a bonus for finding gravimetric signatures for their onboard scanners.
I'm too much Noob in order to suggest a greater Tech2 (Tech3?) value. There are a lot fine suggestions available in this forum. But the Tech1 value should be nerfed to a trivial mining frig, what is given by agents.
ORE Capital Industrials may process ore, compressed ore and salvaged scrapmetal to minerals. But that's off topic. Sorry for that.

There are a lot of interesting ideas and suggestions.
We have some factions in Eve (InterBus [primary transport], ORE [primary industrials], Syndicate [Smuggling, Offering Races], Concord [navy items]) which could have technical advantages. Moreover there are big NPC companies (for instance Quafe).
When I read sentences like:
Quote:Thukkers like to be on the move, constantly going from one solar system to another in their huge caravans, trading and scavenging. then I see modified standard ships for nomadic life. So "mobile POS" could become available in future. Whoever will produce the needed parts for.
So this thread could be too close on ORE side, in order to bring wider ideas to life.
This also could mean ships for Special Forces (Infantry) assistance or more non military, planetary interaction.
So this could be more specialized or more modular universalized ships.
Not only the ORE faction can have nice ships. But their ships IMHO should have more industrial usability. |

I still support the "Tech2 Mining Frigate" idea.
Nerf Tech1 to a real beginner level and bump a Tech2 as needed from the 0-Sec and WL-guys.
Other specialized or more modular ships may become available in further tech treee as mentioned elsewhere in the forum. |

As far as I know not at the moment. But there were several suggestions above.
I think, the frigate will run the first year as it is and might be rebalanced later. To add a Tech2 (if it's not designed yet) within the next few days might be to hard. :) So I keep patient for that and train the "ORE Frigate" skill as much as it makes sense. |
