not sure if this should be an expedition frigate or just a mining frig - probably expedition due to the bonuses I'm going to suggest basically - the prospect is excellent for low/null ninja mining, but it's efficacy falls of drastically as soon as you enter W-space not your own due to the necessity to fit a probe launcher as well as a cloak
My solution: the (as yet un-named WH mining frig) slots:4/2/2 turrets/launchers: 2/0 role bonuses: 100% reduced CPU requirements for cloaks 100% reduced CPU requirements for core probe launcher (note: this is not intended to include the expanded) 90% reduced CPU requirement for mining lasers and gas harvesters 100% bonus to mining and gas cloud harvesting yield NOTE: cannot fit cov ops cyno
expedition frig bonus: 5% agility bonus (maybe 5% reduction in sig rad, or is that too powerful? perhaps a 1% bonus to scan probe scan time?)
mining frig bonus: 5% bonus to mining yield 5% reduction to gas harvester duration
fitting should be tight - so that if you want to use this as a combat ship - it's gonna be a seriously gimped fit (imagine dual neut batle ventures): I'm thinking about 80tF and 20MW
carghold should be small - maybe 75m3, ore bay should be large, maybe 10k m3, drone bay should be nonexistant
basically - this ship should be a staple of WH mining, and not much else
go ahead forum, let rip - but try to keep it constructive. For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it WILL be. |

The Frig you propose seems to be like the Prospect, with some minor changes:
- "Free" core probe launcher instead of an covert ops cyno - 5% sig changes to 5% agility
The Ship would be almost the same as the Prospect now only with the free core probe launcher.
So now to my questions:
- Why did this mining ship needs a core probe launcher ? Can-¦t you scan out the WH completely and bookmark the important spots. I mean every gas site has to be cleaned from Sleepers won-¦t be realistic to try this with this new frig.
- Why did you need a Covert Op-¦s cloak on a mining ship. Theres a feature called d-scan.
In my oppinon the implementation of such a new ship would be a complete waste of time.

To me it seems that you want something made which already is achieveable through gameplay and other mechanics. I won't call it lazy, but I don't feel this covers a niche, a missing role or anything else for that matter, which leaves us with the 'just because...' premise, which is usually bad for any implementation.
So - No. (as it stands) Are you sure your issues aren't elsewhere ?! |

take a mobile depot? EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided""So it will be up to a pilot to remain vigilant wherever they may be flying and be ready for anything at any time" |

@tabyll - rule no1 of WH's - "Always, ALWAYS, ALWAYS have a probe launcher - the wh's always get closed behind you when you don't" - in other words - the probe launcher is not optional - having a probe launcher in hold with a mobile depot; is, however, an option rule no2 of WH's - "bookmark the entrance" rule no3 of WH's - "watch Dscan" - you'd be doing this anyway rule no4 of WH's - "if you can possibly; fit a cloak - ideally a cov-ops cloak - so other people don't see you on dscan" - this applies to all ships - and is about safe(ish) travel (for a WH that means sneaky, not jump bridges) and out-waiting camps, not about forming an ambush or jumping blind or not rule no5 of WH's - "always assume you have 5 or 6 other people cloaked in system, who want to kill you" ........ the list goes on...
@fer'isam - fair enough, reasonable point....
@Daichi - I can't believe I didn't think of that! thank you! I have just made a fit that I believe will be suitable on EFT, and would like to consider this a little lapse of common sense......
