Jessi Fatalis Substandard industries Insidious Associates 1	Posted - 2013.02.15 14:29:00 - [1] - Quote So i was mining in a .5 system when i came across this. mining machariel Should i have blown his position, so that he would be ganked? Because if you are asking me, mining in a machariel is asking to be ganked.

Between rat hunts, the Machariel can be seen lazing about in the asteroid fields, munching on rocks to aid in its digestion. Some observers have assumed the creature was merely lazy, and using the rocks as a sort of subsistence nourishment at times when it doesn't feel up to hunting. A truly graceful and enigmatic being is the Machariel.

stoicfaux 2364	Posted - 2013.02.15 14:52:00 - [8] - Quote Just more proof that the Mach is imba. Plus, we should all be glad that mining lasers don't have falloff, otherwise that Mach would be sitting next to the station when mining the asteroid field.

That would be at greatly recuded yield. You do know how falloff works, right? It would be balanced against the Mach's small cargohold. You may get reduced yield from falloff, but you're right next to the station and thus can unload ore quickly. Plus, instead of fitting cargohold expanders, you can fit CPUs for additional MLUs. On the down side, the station hugging Mining Mach wouldn't benefit from mining drones. Of course, we would need to run Teh Numbers(tm) to see what the breaking point is between falloff loss and loss from traveling to/from the field and the impact of mining drones. To the spreadsheets!

Katran Luftschreck Royal Ammatar Engineering Corps 895	Posted - 2013.02.15 18:47:00 - [29] - Quote Hmm... if this was in low-sec I'd say that he's trying to scare of potential gankers who will simply say "Oh crap a Mach, RUN AWAY!" before they bother to look too close. But in 0.5... well, look at it like this: 0.5 is miner ganker paradise, because that's the lowest CONCORD response time this side of high-sec. But this guy/gal, are they going to get ganked? Not unless Mittani himself is leading the squad. This is someone can truly AFK mine without a care in the world. Then again maybe they were just bored. I'm betting on the "Materials for War Prep" theory and will expand it further: The pilot probably doesn't have one SP devoted to anything past Mining 1... and wants to keep it that way.

DeMichael Crimson Republic University Minmatar Republic 5388	Posted - 2013.02.15 18:57:00 - [31] - Quote I highly doubt that ship can be easily suicide ganked in high security, even by a coordinated attack from 1/2 dozen gankers. The Mach has ample slots to fit up a massive tank, even if it had equipped all low slots with expanded cargoholds, the mid and rig slots would still give it plenty of tank. I see nothing wrong in being innovative and safeguarding oneself from gankers. DMC

But this guy/gal, are they going to get ganked? Not unless Mittani himself is leading the squad. This is someone can truly AFK mine without a care in the world. A mining Mach has about ~46k EHP with 2.7k of cargo space. (CPU is really tight.) A Procurer has ~42k EHP with 12.0k of ore space. So I guess the Mach isn't that great of an AFK miner; thus there's no need to nerf the Mach. edit: Mach and Procurer both fit with 2x MLU IIs.

Gianath Gallentian Legitimate Businessmen 84	Posted - 2013.02.16 00:58:00 - [36] - Quote Sometimes I get tired of missioning and want to do something different with my time. That's led me to mining across several different battleship hulls (Rokh, Domi, and Megathron). Was it the most efficient way to mine? No. Was it nice being able to have 50-60k EHP and a full drone bay to pop people who can flip me? Oh yeah. Different times now, but I probably would have used a Mach for the same purposes if I had one at the time.
