make that a 400% mining bonus for the single turret and it will be acceptable |

CCP Terminus wrote:Some Q&A:
What colour will it be? - Icy I hope :)
Will there be a small Ice Harvesting Accelerator Rig? - There is not one planned at this time, the Discovery has been balanced assuming there isn't one.
Will this have FW restrictions? - Not that I know of, I'll have to check the Prospect and it should be similar to that.
Does the 200% bonus to mining yield affect the ice mining yield? - No, that bonus affects ore mining yields only. This applies to the 5% mining yield bonus per level on the mining frigate skill as well.
please have it ice harvest more faster. Otherwise it won't be worth it for ninja mining in shattered holes. crap isk/hour |

Q2. Drop the frigate mining bonus for a probe/scan bonus? This is thing is expected to be able to get through WHs
Q3. Will the invention/manufacture path for the Ice Miner 2 will be a convoluted as Strip Miner?
Q4. Needs to be more incentive for the ORE Ice Laser. The only way to get these things will be through the LP store in Outer Ring. Or is that also to change? For the price of one, I bet you'll be able to buy 10 frigates. (a fool and their isk are soon parted, I guess)
Q5 why not throw in ORE upgrades for ice and mining?
Q6. another voice to the request for small Ice/Mex rigs
Q7. additional range to the gas harvesters?
Q2: I hope they take that suggestion Q3: One would hope not Q4: Agreed - ORE should be expanding its presence in space Q5: yes a low slot faction ORE ice mining accellerator or something like it would be interesting Q6: Not necessary Q7: Not pertinent to this thread but - yes please
Annnd Q1: It is pretty much the same question as to why people don't leave high sec for low and null. There is too much reward for high sec and disproportionate pain in low and null for the off chance of a reward.
So solve Q1 you need to eliminate ISK payouts on incursions and eliminate ice in high sec completely. Belts should dry up over time leaving only the least used systems with any ore at all. Pilots even in high sec should be declaring wars and fighting over valuable resources. 0.5 systems should be battle grounds for more than just freighters and catalysts. 0.6 systems for adventurous industrial corps and above that mostly dry desert wastelands.
The pressure to move to low sec should be high |

What about small gas harvesting rig? Tech 1. 200 calibration, -5% gas cloud harvesters duration Tech 2. 250 calibration, -7.5% gas cloud harvesters duration The specialized mining rigs only exist as a holdover from previous Mining Barge designs. A little while ago they were all specialized for one type of mining. When that was removed, the rigs were added to keep similar mining rates without having the bonuses be on the ships. Since the Prospect and Discovery are already bonused toward certain types of mining, a rig bonus would be somewhat redundant.
or awesome if you're into min maxing |

If my math is correct (big if :P) only Procurer and Retriever will be beaten for Ice harvesting at max skills with same number of ice rigs (0 or 1) with Covetor without rig is mine ice faster than Discovery would with rig.
With a rig the Discovery should beat Mackinaw/Skiff (without rig) by around 1.3sec per block
I see no harm in letting this ship get that extra 12% cycle bonus when its still on the same level as unrigged exhumers that either have massive EHP or cargo advantages At this point there are no plans to remove the medium Ice Harvester Accelerator, nor will we be adding in a Small for the Discovery and Prospect to use. The Discovery is, by design, the slowest ice mining ship (high individual block speed, slowest blocks/min). This is because it's not only cheaper to field one, but we want it to fulfill its own role instead of stepping on the toes of the mining barges and exhumers.
so what you're saying is... its terrible |
