In game a battleship can outmine a medium sized mining barge - retriever, anyone else see a problem here? Once agian, a BATTLEship outmines a MINING barge, this makes no sense at all. Aren't Mining barges specifically designed to mine hence the name mining barge??? As it is now the procurer is a totally useless ship...noone else finds this a bit weird?

Edited by: fmercury on 03/06/2006 07:25:21 Because they're barges.
And they mine.
to contribute: try mining ice in a battleship ;)

....but not all ships are barges
i think its fine, cause bs can't mine ice and for mining specialisation you want a covertor anyay ( or the new tech II barges) i was used to be ceo and now I have nothing to say, this is so relaxing :) |

Actually, battleships can no longer outmine medium barges with the right skills.
Small barges they can, but battleship training > small barge training. Testy's Eve Blog, Updated 01/06/06

A large barge out mines a BS by a fair amount. With tech II barges it just gets bigger.
And on the naming front... if regular space craft are 'ships', i don't think 'barge' is too detatched from reality for a heavy slow ship that moves ore a lot. Dredger might be closer to the truth, but it doesn't flow so well.

Erm, middle barge should be being compared to cruisers not BS. Largest barge easily outmines battleships.

What is wrong with the name? Nothing. Also consider that for industrial etc characters that have high intelligence and memory but bad perception and willpower a mining barge is a hell of a lot easier to get to pilot skill training-wise than a battlecruiser or a battleship.

7x MDCMII w/tech 2 crystals, 3 mining upgrades. It fits on a megathron and is close to 900m3/minute which is very comparable to a large barge, blowing the mediums out of the water. Even in a tanking configuration (no mining upgrades) those lasers still easily beat anything a medium barge can do... --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson |

There is a very simple reason for this, while the mining ship was bing discussed a name was also discussed, a player came up with the name barge, and it was liked by the Devs.

BATTLE BARGE! There actually are Battle Barges in WH4K universe. I wonde rwhat they are tho. Mining Barges with large lasers?
Aaaanyways, the reason BSs outmine Retriever/Procecuror is thta those are smaller than BS-sized barges. Procecuror is a frig-sized barge and outmines frigs. Retriever is a cruiser-sized bareg and outmines cruisers. Covetor is a BS-sized barge and outmines BSs. Please resize image to a maximum of 400 x 120, and not exceeding 24000 bytes, ty - Cortes |

Mining barges fit their role perfectly, no everyone has 100million isk to shell out on a apoc or mega, those are the only battleships half decent at mining, they also have the advantage of fitting strip miners ice harvesters etc. If they wernt any good ccp would of introduced them.
