CCP needs to make the Hulk's ore hold just a little bit bigger, it should comfortably hold 2 full laser cycles without overflowing.
I'm trying to manage a mining fleet utilizing 3 accounts and I find it very easy to overflow the holds even when I have the Orca sitting within 2500 meters of my ships. I just recently added a 4th miner account to my collection, but i'm thinking of keeping the 3rd miner in a Mack just make things more managable. I really hate to see that hold overflowing very often because its an inefficient use of my laser cycles whenever that happens.
IMHO the status quo just encourages people to use macros, which is something I try to do without. |

you want best ore hold get a Mack Wrong. Hold large enough to hold only one cycle is broken. It needs to be at least 2, to make flipping viable without macro. How many hulks are you trying to run? The hulks hold is fine as is and it works great for fleet tops.
CCP uses every possible marketing strategy to encourage EVE Players to own more than one account, and many player's do.
I don't think that I should be penalized for trying to single-box a multi-toon mining fleet without using macros! |

I don't think that I should be penalized for trying to single-box a multi-toon mining fleet without using macros! you have two mins to cycle through your hulks and empty them, unless you're running an absurd amount of hulks then all you need to do is be on the ball a bit more. alternatively, stagger your strips.
I'm 50 years old, my ability to "be on the ball a bit more" is not as good as it used to be 
I can hardly imagine why anyone would be opposed to changing this one thing. |

They're always staggered mate, that's not the total solution. |

Not much point in arguing how other players should or should not play the game; within the limitations of the game's mechanics many play-styles are possible. As someone who pays for 4 accounts here I figure it's my privilege to suggest a way in which the game could be improved for myself. |

CCP must take the multi-boxers point of view into consideration as they do everything to encourage multi-boxing.
If you spent over 20 hours a week mining in a Hulk (or 2 or 3 Hulks) then you'd better understand the concern about the ore hold.

If there's enough support for it, CCP may or may not be willing to change this, but why argue against something that would improve the game for a lot of people? No they don't, this is a Massive Multiplayer Online Game. If yo chose to play alone fine but done ever expect them to cater to an antisocial play style.
Of course it's all those interactions with other player's which keep the MMOG's so interesting; and who are you calling anti-social? |
