Has it been mentioned yet that "Thera and The Shattered Wormholes" sounds like an awesome lounge act in Vegas? |

"Vegas act or **** flick?"
I'm positive I've heard a morning radio show run that contest before.... |

I assume the non answer by ccp means either they did not see it, or they have something not yet ready to announce. However, incase I am mistaken in my understand, I am asking for clarification:
Per the dev blog on thera:
"The seventy five Standard Shattered Wormhole Systems will be similar to normal W-space systems in many ways (including delayed-mode local chat), but will have a few important distinctions:"
"GÇó They will contain minable ice fields. This will be the first ice available in wormhole space."
And...
"The twenty five Small Ship Shattered Wormhole Systemswill have all the features of the normal Shattered Wormhole Systems, with the following additions:
GÇó All wormholes in or out of these systems will be small ship wormholes, meaning that only Frigates, Destroyers and Heavy Interdictors (Heavy Interdictors can use their bubble generators to reduce their mass) can enter.
"
So how do you mine the ice in the 25 small wh' systems? The smallest barge is 10m kg in mass. The larges destroyer is around 2m kg in mass. And a cruiser is around 11m kg in mass. So unless I am mistaken, and the small wh's take a max of 10m kg per jump into them, there is absloutly no way, as it stands right now, to be able to mine the ice in these 25 systems.
So... what gives? or am I just misinformed on the max per jump a small frig hole can take?
The mythical ice mining frigate shall soon be a reality (I hope). |

The smallest barge is 10m kg in mass. Simple: you don't. Frig hole max jumpmass is 5000 tons. (there is a reason why we call them sh*tholes) false. the T3 destroyers will get a bonus to mining lasers and an ice hold. see that would make sense. or the damn prospect being able to mine ice, anything. I honestly agree that the lack of a response to such a huge oversight means something is going to be announced. I assume eve downunder, but who knows
When they announced the Prospect, Fozzie stated that an expedition frigate made for mining ice was a definite possibility. Fingers crossed. |

thoughts?
Value wise, it'd be a waste of time. But I get a kick out of mining in dangerous areas. Before they made the Prospect a thing, I enjoyed taking a venture out in to lowsec and down into wormholes just to see if I'd survive. I enjoy doing so with the Prospect even more. Don't know why, it's just my thing. I could make much more money simply mining in high sec.
Ice mining in lowsec and wormholes in a frigate sounds fun to me. I'm an odd duck though. |
