-Liang While I agree that mining is the worst thing ever...how would removing Mining Barges help this? |

They don't need to remove barges, just change the Hulk so it's not an uber general mining machine.
I still don't get why the Hulk was designed as it was, T2 variants are meant to be more specialised at a dedicated role. The Skiff (inbuilt stabs and bonuses to Mercoxit) and Mackinaw (ice mining god) are perfect examples of it, but the Hulk is simply just a better Covetor.
If it had just been a tankier Covetor, that would have been OK, but it outmines it as well.
Change the Hulk to be the gas harvesting ship of choice (or something else), presto! Increase in mineral costs and value added to actually mining as yields drop. |

Just an honest question, what's so wrong with just giving ore mining ships a little bit more power grid? A tier1 cruiser has a superior tank... As for the "But its only a mining ship" well sure, so its swapped weapons for mining lasers. Why does that automatically mean it has a tank worse than a tier1 cruiser? Let me show you a tanked industrial vehicle. I am sure many have seen this video. Now when you watch it, think to yourself. "This is the kind of thing a mining ship should be like"
Bulldozer Rampage
Mining and earth moving equipment is slow, its big, its noisy, its giant chunks of metal and massive industrial sized mechanical parts. They are designed to take a pounding. In eve they should have a large tank but they shouldn't be able to run away, |

That's a bulldozer, not mining equipment, though. The hulk is basically a cargo ship with special laser/tractor beam hybrids. |

The difference is that mining equipment may be built durable, but not built armored. For example, mining equipment wouldn't have protection against something like a HEAT round, whereas a tank with ceramic armor would. So when it comes to a warfare perspective, they're big, fat, slow, squishy targets. Of course, this is assuming that your point of argument is relevant in the first place, but nevertheless the argument is flawed. |
