God dayum... it's like every miner whine rolled into one.

... (snip)...
Frostline would have been a great opportunity to introduce new mining tech. ORE gets busted free, the Serpentis (who`ve held ORE for so long) just get busted and Damn! (can I say damn?) It just so happens ORE were working on new and wonderful mining tech!
They have been introducing Tech 2 mining frigates that are quite useful in "hostile" areas.
That's something.

Soooooooo... do something about it? You have tools like everyone else.
Orbit the rocks you are mining. This makes bumping MUCH harder.
Use a tanky Procurer. Those things are virtually ungankable.
Thorn Davidus wrote:Bumping - When ocean going mounted ships 'bumped' other ships (i.e. Ramming) it was considered a hostile act an it should be considered that in the game as well..never mind the fact that a smaller ship can bump a freighter and even make it move...without damage!
(Pretty much like seeing a dingy bumping a cargo freighter - we all know what would happen there!)
Pssssssst... you don't want this. If you make bumping into an "aggressive act" then people will bump miners into other people... or surround a miner that is sitting still and wait. This all means that it will be legal to shoot miners at will!
Also...
- bumping is used quite often in PvP. They deal with it. You can do.
- Freighters are not meant to be moved "solo." Get "support" when moving it.
Mining - When are we going to see tech 3 mining ships, maybe new mining techs, new mining lasers, mining rigs, more module spaces on existing ships...hell maybe even a mining cloak!
Compare the number of combat ships to mining ships, or the number of guns and missile to mining lasers etc.

Same can be said for the NPC nations. We`ve seen massive changes in NPC ships...but no mining ships.
There used to be "racial mining ships." They were the...
- Navitas
- Tormentor
- Burst
- Bantam
- Vexor
- Arbitrator
- Scythe
- Osprey
Then the DEVs realized that no one used those ships for mining because barges were so much better... in every way. So they phased out the racial mining ships. And everyone cheered.
Thorn Davidus wrote:...and by more sitting ducks that could mean more upset players (just like me), who spend many hours mining only to get shot out of the 'sky' by cheap, crappy little ships with negligible action taken on the aggressor...they just wait 15 minutes and buy a new cheap, crappy ship!!!
Dude... Procurers. They tank like battlecruisers. No one is going to gank you in them. And if they are, then you have either done something to really **** them off or are not being ganked at all... you are either at war or in low-sec (in which case, it is all your own fault).
And if you want to avoid bumping... don't sit still and use the "terrain" to block people from lining up their bump.
People who gank are not supernatural players who are using equipment and mechanics that no one else has access to. They are players just like you and can be beaten using the very same equipment and mechanics.
Also... use Procurers.
How did you Veterans start?
