The thing is, giving a little love to miners has almost nothing to do with buffing mining GÇö that will just make it harder for miners to make any real money. What is needed to improve the lives of miners is to take a very large set of hedge trimmers to the drone regionsGǪ
That doesn't really answer the questions:

What does fairness have to with it? Why does the increase need to be larger?

Can you at least please give a little love to miners with T2 Gang link modules???

Example:
You get less than a 1km range increase using the T2 Mining Laser Field Enhancemnet Module which is pretty poor...

Funny, I get over 22km range on my strip miners. How about you 1) use the dedicated mining support ship that CCP has provided for you, namely, the Orca and 2) train up the skills to use it and the gang link modules properly. Oh I know it takes MONTHS to train, but seriously, level V dude. Stop whining, miners are fine.

You are right there on top of the problem... DRONES ARE THE MAIN (maybe the only) PROBLEM!!!
But what to do when CCP don't see further of their noses and don't want so solve this obvious problem...

Then we need to hunt for crumbs because we are starving and CCP don't want to give us bread...
Because when you increase your share of minerals... price of minerals drop... but you get bigger share of ISK because you sold more minerals compared to your opponents constant...

How are they nerfing mining?
And you mention that this is the third case of it in this expansion alone GÇö which are the other two?

Boost to metal scraps - so little volume - more minerals on market.

New alloys reprocess maps - i don't know if ccp thinks its helping, but its one more stab in the back.

I've missed that oneGǪ link?

mining doesn't supply the entirety of the mineral market, not even close, fyi

and nobody actually enjoys mining, they bot

Will it be worth the invention cost???

Please boost T2 gang links for miners...




Dont nerf mining again, you nerfed it 2 times this expansion, dont nerf it 3rd time...

You have now opportunity to elegantly boost it... use it...

with T1 link you have range of 22.8km, and with this T2 you get range of 23.9km
I don't see why you introduced this link at all

fixed, but yeah, not much of an improvement.

This is supposed to be a T2 module more like a T1 meta 2 module

You did math.

I loaded up my orca with T1 links, undocked my Hulk alt and looked at the turret info..... Same with the T2 links.

I don't believe ccp reports where the minerals come from, and while I agree reprocessing is a lot of it, I seriously doubt its a serious majority.

Here is math in 3 decimals:

Maximum Skills, Orca
Mining Foreman Link - Laser Optimization (2%)
T1 Mining Foreman Link - Mining Laser Field Enhancement (4.5%)
T2 Mining Foreman Link - Mining Laser Field Enhancement (5%)


with T1 gang links:

Range Link Bonus = 0.045 * 5 * (1 + 5 * 0.10) * (1 + 5 * 0.03) * (1 + 0.50) = 0.5821875

Maximum Laser Range = 15 km * (1 + 0.5821875) = 23.732 km



with T2 gang links:

Range Link Bonus = 0.05 * 5 * (1 + 5 * 0.10) * (1 + 5 * 0.03) * (1 + 0.50) = 0.646875

Maximum Laser Range = 15 km * (1 + 0.646875) = 24.703 km

Here is math in 3 decimals:

Maximum Skills, Orca
Mining Foreman Link - Laser Optimization (2%)
T1 Mining Foreman Link - Mining Laser Field Enhancement (4.5%)
T2 Mining Foreman Link - Mining Laser Field Enhancement (5%)


with T1 gang links:

Range Link Bonus = 0.045 * 5 * (1 + 5 * 0.10) * (1 + 5 * 0.03) * (1 + 0.50) = 0.5821875

Maximum Laser Range = 15 km * (1 + 0.5821875) = 23.732 km



with T2 gang links:

Range Link Bonus = 0.05 * 5 * (1 + 5 * 0.10) * (1 + 5 * 0.03) * (1 + 0.50) = 0.646875

Maximum Laser Range = 15 km * (1 + 0.646875) = 24.703 km

What's that strange whining sound I hear?

It's almost as if someone was talking out of their ass.

Yea, because everyone knows that 4 hours of mission running gives me the same about of tritanium as 4 hours of mining Veldspar!

how can you be so dumb, seriously

get back to your mining, it suits you

SO what supplies most of the minerals on the market? Please tell.

are you a mentally challenged toddler? just asking

ahahah where do you think most of your high-end minerals come from, certainly not from people mining in null-sec

hint: drone compounds and reprocessed mission/rat loot

Dont write when you dont know what to write...

you are talking about T1 with that range... and here is talked about T2 on sisi and how its not worth it...

Ill answer this for OP, if i may...
I don't know about is there any link,
but look at SiSi.

with T2 gang links:

Range Link Bonus = 0.05 * 5 * (1 + 5 * 0.10) * (1 + 5 * 0.03) * (1 + 0.50) = 0.646875

Maximum Laser Range = 15 km * (1 + 0.646875) = 24.703 km
