There is no way that a hulk can warp out before a interceptor lands on grid even in an ideal situation.
how will this be countered?
a thousand times this.
Vdr and i joinly run indy for our corp, and, besides our miners themselves flat out refusing to mine in nullsec anymore due to the sheer dangers, i'm not comfortable sending them out anymore in the first place.
CCP, i seriously question if you're paying attention to the changes made even in oddessy. i cannot stress this enough - no miner with a scrap of sense will be found in nullsec after these changes. period.
it takes sixteen seconds for a hulk to align. a ceptor gang can be on top of you, in a 40 AU system, in about 14. ASSUMING perfect reactions by the miners. keeping a scout in another system is possible - if the scout is able to stare at the screen for hours on end.
i love the idea of nullified ceptors. but you've stripped the last defense from any sort of exhumer in null, and frankly they have ltitle enough going for them as stands.
and for those pvpers who want to claim "just put a scout next door" - you're telling me that a pvper can get in a single ship, by himself, and go, by himself, about his business and actually have fun, but a miner needs to run six accounts to even be bothered undocking? (one boost, one hauler, at least one scout, three exhumers.) this is unacceptable, especially when we're talking about something that you need to do for many hours on end to be profitable, and that is extraordinarily boring.
i once read a quote from miss seagull - "Enablers are the people who make the logistics for these large-scale things actually work. ... And we kind of have a history of treating these people likeGǪ****. We put these people through a lot of painful, unnecessary work."
it's the goddamn truth, and i have yet to see any sort of design decision changing that fact.
ahh, but inb4 mods claiming "this isnt the right thread for this."
i'll put a more constructive post up when it's not 6AM and i've slept, but the tl:dr of it will be - put grav sites back in sigs, or dont be surprised when nullsec mining (i.e. your source for all highend minerals - zydrine, megacyte, morphite) comes to a screeching halt. |
