I can't imagine there will be many people mining it slowly via cloaky frigates, or that I would care if there were.
Basically this. I loved the prospect and I'll surely fly one, but just for fun. The mining income is so low that it will never be a game changer for the big corps in nullsec.
Also the ore isn't worth because of the risk and trip time. You can probably have the same income mining in highsec, which would cut out the trip time and take alway 99% of the risk (1% left for gankers)
The gravimetric sites should have more valuable and exclusive ore, something valuable as relic sites, to be worth going to null for it. |

Hoovering Gas and allowing slo-mo D scanners working without scouts the ability to escape even if there are non blues in W Space.
5 sec delay to cloak - I'll take that thanks. Hell I could sit in a field all the way up to the combat probes to start tickling my man potatoes and still managed to move 2500m by the time the warp in is fixed.
I was here.... now I am gone.
I agree with you. The only thing the prospect is lacking is an extra utility slot for a probe launcher.
Also I don't see much utility in having a cov jump capable mining frigate if you still need a blops BS. I guess the industrial corps that are most interested in this feature won't go into the trouble of training an alt or recruiting a blops pilot just for that |

How else do you expect to Cov Jump it? And plenty of indy corps have this capability already for their Blockade Runners
I think since there are industrial applications, maybe there could be an ORE ship capable of generating the cov jump portal. Maybe the Orca I suppose. |

You mean Roqual surely And why? Blops arent that hard to train for
I mentioned orca because I think it compares better to a blops BS in both price and training time (although it seems a lot faster to train, I can't check the training time right now)
Maybe I'm just being too picky, but I don't see why the only ship capable of jumping mining frigates is a black ops ship, since said frigates are not "black ops" in the same sense.
The orca is also in the same training line as the prospect, in the same way the Blops are in the same line of stealth bombers. If a pilot or corp wants to be 100% dedicated to mining only the blops is in another training path.
Although I agree, it surely isn't a "need", I just think it makes a bit more of sense to have industrials jumping industrials and combat blops jumping combat blos (like I said, I'm being kind of picky) |

Is it a cheaper alternative to other cyno hulls?
22 millions the last time I've checked, it should get cheaper in the next days
I don't know how it compares to the other hulls |
