Currently rorquals are rarely used for anything other than ore compression or as a cheap jump freighter.
They do have clone bays which indicate that their role is supposed to be about remote mining operations. however, that is very impractical and almost never used. even if the rorq jumps somewhere and the miners jump clone (does that even work?), they'll have no realistic way of returning!
I suggest giving them a specialized jump portal generator (similar to titans and black ops) that only allows ore and industrial ships to go through, and maybe scanning ships!
This will allow the rorq to bridge a mining fleet to the remote destinations of null to do an op, then jump in and assist, then make a portal to return home! therefore truly serving it's intended purpose. |

I hope you're just trolling, for your sake lol. |

there is simply no need whatsoever for a mining titan, wtf!
what role would it fit? what could it achieve that the rorqual (if my suggestion or something like that is implemented) cannot do?
Nothing!
and unlike pvp fleets, we have not yet yeard of 1000 man hulk fleets that would support from something like an ore titan.
i was gonna paste the ore titan idea in the one line bad ideas thread, but i am afraid that ccp will actually do something like that!
I like CCP rise, but the company has a knack for implementing terrible ideas. |

there have been several cool ideas to help mining fleets project into the field better. with this idea, a couple alts could find the ark fields, scout and light a cyno. the rorqual could send a group into the field and then follow. this is another form of pvp...denial of resources. but it would benefit miners and these guys are anti miners. ;-)
There is bridging for pvp and bridging for recons, so why not have bridging for industrials?
They are actually the ones in most need of bridging, since they cannot "safely" travel through null sec by conventional means. a pvp fleet can afford to travel through vast areas of nullsec gaining strength from numbers and being equipped to defend themselves. yet a titan can still bridge them.
Recons (except blops) can use covops cloaks and avoid any conflict they don't want to engage to, and still they get blops bridge.
Miners should get their own bridge too, they need it more than the other two groups. |
