Is there anyone out there or is it just me who has this issue. Why do some players insist on using their BS as huge miners. Surely a cruiser is enough for any miner to be happy with why drag a battleship down into the mining lows.
For starter the name 'Battleship' sort of indicates what its uses are. Second its(and I am sorry for the analogy)like using a modern Battleship to go fishing!!!!
Now for all the people who think PvP should not be permitted in places throughout Eve, let me guess what some of you pilot???
Ehm, HAHAHA
Maybe because no other ship can fit 8 miners. Mybe because cruisers gets major CPU problems when trying to fit miner 2's.
Maybe because the thorax is the only cruiser who can use many drones.
Maybe because a spawn of 1 50k and 4 30k pirates isn't very healthy for a mining cruiser.

Ohh, and I forgot one thing. ASK A THORAX USER HOW LONG IT TAKES TO FILL HIS CARGO.
Yea baby, that's right. HE CAN'T COMPLETE A CYCLE BEFORE HIS CARGO IS FULL!!!
With mining lvl 5, astreology lvl 4, 5 Miner 2's and 9 harvester drones:
The Thorax mines 720 m^3 per minute.
The Thorax has a base cargo space of 265 m^3.
I wonder why people use battleships to mine with
DOH!

what if what he wants to do in eve is get rich, why should he not be allowed to do so?
Right. Except that I'm not in the game to be rich:p
I'm in the game for the fun of PvP. But PvP can never be fun if you're afraid to loose your ship. I've tried to fight with too many who are afraid of that already. All they do is sit inside a station all day until I go try to find someone else to fight. Hence, to be able to enjoy the fun of PvP, you need the resources to back you up. Simple.

I can't belive there are people in BS who are scared to go into 0.0 space for fear of losing their ship. I have lived in 0.0 for a month and never worried about losing my Cruiser.
So right. The only place where I'm worried to go is those damn 1.0 system where the cops may blow me up without reason(despite a very good sec rating).

Still there is indeed a morale highground to it, battleships indeed, just what the hell are PC pirates doing flying the latest military hardware.
Surely such ships should be in the domain of the military only...
Exactly! That's why CCP should removed all player owned battleships that doesn't belong to MASS(yea, you have to look the meaning up for yourself, otherwise you'll start a flame party about our name:P. But if there were any roleplaying in EVE we'd live up to it).
j/k 
Let people do what they want with their ships.
I'll not start the trolling about why you guys don't have battleship

So how come half the noob sector belts I've been in hardly have anything in there apart from Veld? Try looking for Pyroxeres or Plag and you find tiny little nubs that yield nothing because some BS miner stripped out anything of greater value than Veld.
Nah, no point really, you're only prepared to listen to your own opinion and declare anyone elses as half-assed.
LMAO. Back in the day when I was a n00b and everyone was still in frigates, people in the n00b system complained about that all the Omber already was mined out.
And why would a battleship strip a belt only for plagi/pyro? The one thing they DO mine there is VELDSPAR to get all the trit for production of more battleships.

Make new category mining turret.
Give industrials up to 8 of them.
And make indys cost 150M each, so that when people start strip mining with them, all the guys who can't affort them can start to whine
