Does any one know if they have an idea for a Frigher / Mining barge mix in the works?
I was thinking that there might be a need for a mining vesel that is capable of staying in the mineral fields for extened periods of time.
The ship can be an eliete cross between the frighers and the Ore Mining barges. You would have to master both skills before you can get it. Make the ships with something around the 50,000-100,000m3 range for storage, and give them the ability to mount 2 strip miners, and possibly a 50m3 drone bay.
Im sure some inventive soul in the EVE world would eventually try and convert their ship to make it fit another roll, or a roll that does not exist at the moment. Well let me know what you all think of the idea. If it has been brought up before, sorry to put you though it again :).

 A mining barge with a cargo hold of 30K m3 would do just fine

it'd be seriously unbalanced, so would never happen.

also AFK mining or macro mining 4tl
A mining support vessel would be a good idea. Some sort of mobile refinery or even a ship that mining logistics ship that improves mining yields for gang members in that belt.

*points towards In Testing
Quite a few new things for mining coming up. I'd be surprised if at least one of the T2 variants wasn't a more resiliant barge, though I'd be surprised if it was the sort of super-tank-barge the OP mentions. It would probably have enough resiliance to allow it to be properly escorted in 0.0, rather than relying on perfect "drawing" of the spawns by a battleship tank.
You can do anything. But you can't do everything. |

I agree in the afk mining 4tl...
to prevenet it from becoming an afk miner you could make the ship so that it has such a dull computer it can't re-fire the strip miners automatically... This would require the miner to be there to click the button...

that would make mining even more boring and less appealing than it already is  many miners (like me) read dev blogs or do something else while mining, i don't think it is a good idea that you have to pay constant attention while you are mining.

just make it so the ship cant activate its mods in 0.5 and above, how many people afk mine in low sec space?

My Osprey with 3 miner2's will almost fill my cargo hold with one cycle. I move ore every minute, it would be nice to have enought space to run for a few minutes without shutting down my miners.
What would we want out of a T2 barge??
tougher? more cargo? more mount points? more drones?
a barge is a special type of ship, I would say another mount point. or perhapse a ship with one mountpoint and a large cargo bay? It would need to be balanced so the macro fiends could not co-opt it.
