Better a simple solution that gets things done then a unique one that has negative effects. There is a reason were flying around in 747's instead of really cool Zeppelins. There is no Reason a Raven should be able to out mine a Hulk.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I could of swore it took more skill points to kill rats/drones than sit around and watch your strip miners extract minerals.
I don't use a Raven, but I do solo drone patrols in a battleship for a decent bit of cash, and it took me a lot longer to get to that point than it would to train for a Hulk.

Even remapped INT/MEM you can get a BS up and running faster than a hulk. Unless of course, you think you need large[insert specialisation of weapon V here] with all the bells and whistles. Why is it, do you suppose, that people go that route in the first place? Hmmm? It isn't just because they hate mining, although that's part of the reason.
ALL the bells and whistles, no, but just bare-bones requirements to use a BS would have you making less money through alloys than a hulk pilot through mining. Believe me, I was one of those bare-bones pilots for a bit.
Also, I figured people would tend to take their career in a more combat-oriented path rather than mining because it really is boring (although I could take some enjoyment in being productive in some way through mining), and because combat serves more purpose than just money-making. (I only have 1 account, so I decided to just go for combat on this one character rather than getting mining and then combat.) |
