The way that EVE has plateaued and considering the learing curve, I think the sort of people drawn to EVE are the sort drawn to Linux. I really feel it would be important to try get EVE on Ubuntu's software centre listing and make some song and dance about it.

Considering that this post was 2-3 years ago and Dust is here, Legion is coming, maybe ... just maybe Dust can EVE can link in a more meaningful way?
Imagine walking out of your Captain's Quarters and there are loyal Dust troops rushing about, finding a ship to get to another planet ... and they see you, "What can you fly?! How fast can you get there?!" "Erm ... umm ... a suicide bomber, could fit like 15 of you guys, with your equipment in there." ... and so it could go.

Jen, I think we disagree on things.. perhaps even maybe a large number of things. But I think you have spirit, and I like your communication style and brain. I hope you carry this attitude into CSM.
You will receive my vote. Good luck to you with the election.

You will receive my vote. Good luck to you with the election. Thank you for your support. I have not received a lot of positive feedback and most of my friends have quit during the time that I was forced to take a break.
I have been feeling very negative toward EVE lately, feeling that all the "good" ones have gone and it is only the ones that want the game dumbed down more and kills made easier who are left.
Please, as ever, tell others to vote. I am relying on word of mouth.
Even if they vote for others; more votes means more of the majority will be represented.

When you break down all the stats into effect, Mackinaws, Covetors and Retrievers are really shocking paper bags.

Skiffs have the right sort of tank done right that in many instance help can warp to you before you pop. However, there is a big fat price tag on those. So, your one and only real option when reds are around is Procurers, mine for an hour or two in that and it has paid for itself.
The thing I am saying is that a Retriever has 30% of the Procurers tank (time to live) with 96% of the yield. So, it is an utterly useless ship except for AFK mining (for the cargo hold), where you do not care about your losses.

Hi. I fell asleep earlier. What a strange thing..
Yield isn't everything. Besides being blown up, travel time reduces your ISK/hr significantly. Rettys have a superior ore hold.
Around reds no amount of tank is going to help if you get scrammed. As far as warping out of grid goes, you should already be aligned. An untanked, always-aligned Retty has been my goto ninja ice miner. I pick systems with an empty Local, but I don't bother leaving if someone comes in.
Adding more tank to the Retty is like piling on lingerie in the Arctic. I honestly would prefer the ore hold stay as it is..

I think the scaling on the ships are all wrong. I would like to see :
Tank go up: Procurer --> Covetor Skiff ---> Hulk
Ore Hold go down: Procurer (at retriever levels) --> Covetor Skiff (at Mackinaw levels) --> Hulk
Ore Hold go up: Barge --> Exhumer
Align time go down: Procurer --> Covetor Skiff ---> Hulk Barge --> Exhumer
Acceleration to warp go down: Procurer --> Covetor Skiff ---> Hulk Barge --> Exhumer
Yield go up: Procurer --> Covetor Skiff ---> Hulk Barge --> Exhumer
This would make Procurers cheap, nimble ships that are reasonable (mostly as they are now) While Hulks would have a decent yield to be worth the risk, large tanks but slow, so they would need support. Anyone solo mining in one would be a fool.
.... and yes, this if you haven't seen it.

Had a hilarious mail of support from an old alliance mate.
My old alliance got spread pretty thin. We keep jump dream to dream too fast. I warned the leader at the time about this, it become a flaming argument, with most of them against me, so I left. Fast forward and the alliance has imploded almost exactly as predicted.
I got a message basically saying that he voted for me in the hopes that I attack the other CSM members and it lands up on Youtube.
(Might be too much of an inside joke) >.>

This is exactly the way my old alliance used them on those occasions when we'd mine in our wormhole: easy for anyone to fly, and so cheap that nobody cared if they popped. We had a big stack of them packaged in the POS.The cloud of small drones that even a small group of Retrievers could muster was a decent disincentive, too: you might pop one barge before getting swarmed, but if you're in a tin-can cloaky ship, good luck once they get to you. And yeah, sure, there are counters, but again, we didn't care, and nobody ever bothered to bring a hard counter because that's a lot of effort to take down a few disposable ships.
In the year or so we were in the WH we might have lost two? three? But you also have to factor in that we hardly ever mined.

In the "don't care if I lose it" space, I think Retty's are good for ice and the Ventures for gas.

Hard to use a ship that doesn't exist yet.
Besides, we fit ours with surprise tackle, because it's fun to turn the tables on people. But that means that a fair number of them blew up.

This would make Procurers cheap, nimble ships that are reasonable (mostly as they are now) While Hulks would have a decent yield to be worth the risk, large tanks but slow, so they would need support. Anyone solo mining in one would be a fool.
From a hisec mining perspective, this would basically eliminate the Skiff completely. As we've seen from both the big Odyssey change and the smaller Kronos revisit, hisec as a whole only cares about 1) tank and 2) yield, in that order. Putting the Hulk as the best in both those categories would make it the go-to any time there was a hauler around (not to mention opportunists either jetcan mining or mining into a freight container). Agility and speed just rarely matter in hisec, because being surrounded by neutrals all the time makes it a lot harder to pre-emptively warp before threats land.
Outside of hisec, and into the realm of speculation, I suspect that rather than having Procs/Skiffs take a niche as ninja miners, they simply won't be used in favour of using better mining ships fitted with Higgs rigs that are permanently aligned. Align time/warp acceleration don't mean anything when you're always two clicks away from entering warp, especially when the non-Proc/Skiff ships bring both better tank AND better yield to the party.
Finally, I'm not so sure that "Anyone solo mining in [a Hulk] would be a fool"; If I were a solo miner in nullsec I would definitely use your improved hulk, I'd simply use jetcans as an external ore bay rather than warping it back to station every few minutes. When a couple of cans are full, or when hostiles are reported in intel anywhere nearby, just park the Hulk in a POS/station, grab a cloak+mwd Miasmos and clear out the cans. You get the benefits of strong tank (vs the nullsec belt rats) and high yield and you mostly sidestep the issue of the small ore hold. |
