I've been thinking of this idea for quite some time and have beat out some rough numbers for a versatile battleship hull of ORE design that can be used for mining, mining fleet defence, or somewhere in between.
Name: Bulwark (Suggestions Welcome)
H - 4 M - 5 L - 5
Turret Hardpoints - 4
Cargo Hold - 500 Ore Hold - 20,000 m^3 Drone Bay - 75 m^3 Drone Bandwidth - 50 mbps
Shield - 6000 Armor - 6000 Structure - 6000
Rig Size - Large
Velocity - 60 m/s
PG - 1500 CPU - 500 Capacitor - 1000 Cap Recharge - 125 s Cap Recharge Rate - 8 gj/s
Lock Range - 50 km
Role Bonus
95% reduction in PG need of large turrets 50% reduction in CPU need of large turrets 50% reduction in capacitor need of large hybrid and energy turrets
Exhumers Skill Bonus
10% Increased scan range for Survey Scanners per level 20% Increased range of Strip Miners per level
Skill Requirements: Exhumers III and its prerequisite skills
Any ideas for suggestions/changes are welcome. Having a heart is what makes you strong, but it can also make you weak. |

This at least makes more sense than the current version of the SOE battleship.

Why not, Mining Marauders was already suggested and damn we Love the idea, some mining Domi (sry) i mean Battleship would be cool. |

A Hulk can fit 3 Strip Miners.
Boni are: 15 % from Mining Barge 5 and 15 % from Exhumers 5.
3*1.15*1.15 = 3,9675
Your battle ship can fit 4 Strip Miners. It would be better, if you ccould fit Modulated Deep Core Miner T2 with Crystals only! - Like the Veldnaught :)
Modulated Strip Core MIner: 360 m-¦ + 360 m-¦ (+ crystal bonus) vs. Modulated Deep Core Miner: 250 m-¦ + 250 m-¦ (+ crystal bonus) |

i'd accept any new mining ship! but make it require exhumers 5. Never forget. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8sfaN8zT8E

Pretty much the same reward you get from ganking regular barges. Don't see why one should be different from the others. Welcome to our universe where cooldown timers are a mystery, the PLEX menu is just an advertisement, shrapnel bombs deal explosive force, concussion bombs are somehow kinetically penetrative, and who left all these prototype Inferno modules all over the place? |

More tank, more cargo and more yield than any of the current barges.
Where's the downside? Do you want to replace every mining ship with one of these? |

comparing the moduls without ANY boni (imps, fleet, ships...)
Modulated Strip Core MIner: 360 m-¦ + 360 m-¦ (+ crystal bonus) = max. 990.0 m-¦ vs. Modulated Deep Core Miner: 250 m-¦ + 250 m-¦ (+ crystal bonus) = max. 687.5 m-¦
compared to a skiff it would be 66.0 % efficient, 34 % less than the tanky skiff and if you want to fit weapons, you will sacrifice a slot for your mining lasers |

give it a bonus like:
+xx % per level if there are any ORE Strip Miners fitted
it should have less EHP than a Skiff! they are expensive and would make it a profitable suicide gank target
less EHP, more expensive less yield, higher requirements

HandelsPharmi wrote:+xx % per level if there are any ORE Strip Miners fitted So these ORE strip miners will be very expensive faction mods that get extra mining bonuses? Well it would make the ship a far more appealing target, however it comes at a cost of buffing the mining yield of the whole of New Eden, which may have serious repercussions.
HandelsPharmi wrote:The yield shoult be a ~10 % higher than in a skiff if you fit 4 Mining Laser Upgrades. But only with faction mods.
Well I don't really care about this BS idea much, but I definitely like the idea of expensive faction mods for miners and will +1 that part. Oh god. |

ORE Ice Harvester
ORE Deep Core Mining Laser
ORE Strip Miner
these modules should get a bonus and the base yield should be lowered as well
you are able to harvest ice or ore, use T1 and T2 crystals at a high risk-reward-ratio But it should be much more expensive than a T2 fitted Hulk, sure. |

because they are very expensive and like T1 modules but with a longer range (17 km vs. 15 km) |

Eve-Central shows only 6 ORE modules on the market and they're in lowsec for 400m each. That isn't going to help your role bonuses much. Oh god. |

I'm not sure this new battleship is required especially if it has increased yield when mining.
As far as a fleet defence ship for mining fleets I don't think this part of your argument holds water either. Defence for mining fleets in nullsec could probably be achieved by deploying other existing and probably smaller hulled ships with better results.
As far as defence for mining fleets in high sec systems is concerned the proposed ships would not be able to stop or hinder suicide ganks. Mining barges & exhumers can be fitted with sufficient tank to prevent or reduce the likelihood of suicide ganks along with not being afk and using your brain. Unfortunately I estimate at least eighty percent of pilots in mining vessels think a shield recharger or a small shield booster constitutes a viable tank. Obviously this is an incorrect assumption but don't let me stop you doing the same . |

Where's the downside? Do you want to replace every mining ship with one of these? It has less yield than a Hulk, less ore capacity than a Mack, and less tank than a Skiff.
I tried to focus on versatility while trying to give it some characteristics of a battleship. It is as slow as an Orca which is why I gave it the bonus to Strip Miner and Survey Scanner range.
I increased the PG and CPU so you can fit more of a tank and added a bonus to mining crystal effectiveness. At Exhumers V you can get a T2 crystal from a 1.75 multiplier to a 2.18 multiplier.
I added two more bonuses: x% increase in large turret damage x% increase in large turret optimal and falloff range
Feel free to throw out some numbers, I want this to be able to compete with other ships.
Another idea I have been tossing around is to increase the Drone Bay size and the ship's Bandwidth.
As for the bonus to the ORE modules, it seems too specific plus they are very expensive. Having a heart is what makes you strong, but it can also make you weak. |
