Why would they appear on a killmail when remote reps don't? They're not a hostile effect.

The only thing that gives me pause is the stacking penalty.

Example: Seems odd that it may benefit a mining ship to NOT fit a MLU.

So boosts will now have duration bonuses on the buffs, affected by the skills and implants you have. But the cycle time stays the same regardless. So to be at optimal cap usage and conserve ammo, you will have to manually deactivate your boost module and reactivate it when boosts are going to run out. Is this intended gameplay? Or is this just an oversight that hasn't been considered yet?

When CCP removed boosting Command ships from within POS shields, they specifically left Orca/Rorqual mining boosts out of that change due to the outcry and the expected population fleeing from EVE.

While it's important to get rid of off grid "Combat" boosting for reasons of bringing more players onto the battlefield for which they want, for some reason we now think the same issue faced during the last tweek to boosts is no longer going to massively impact the mining/industrial community in game and cause many industrialists to throw up their hands and log.

This change seems more motivated by a small gang, ganker type developer that will now have a capital kill available in every mining anom they warp to. The supposed "olive branch" is that the Rorqual will have a "slow death" button that means not everything will die immediately as the fleet is bubbled and the Rorqual dies... then the fleet dies. What a big bonus.

This change to Mining Boost dynamics has no positive benefit to Nullsec industry and was likely not put forth by anyone with serious industrial experience but instead someone who wanted shinier kill mails while miner ganking.

No. A perfect Orca booster out performs a perfect non-sieged Rorqual. Thus no point to run the Rorq unless you have a immobilized it and put it at significant risk for 5 mins.

If you don't understand the outcry, I guess the hold/cancellation on the last POS boosting changes escaped your attention.

but a 1% difference between a capital ship and a sub capital ship.. is just total bullchit and someone who came up with those figures didn't even bother to look at the price difference between the two ships. "oh hey spend 2.2bn+ for an extra measly 1% difference"..that guy must wear plaid panties.

@Lonan - I mean people play the game for different reasons. If you gave PVPers a way to generate killmails and post them to zkill to get their isk efficiency up without undocking there would be a ton of shittlers just plugging away at the I win button and rubbing their epeen.

Now we will be able to solo pvp in a linked frigate with booster in the next system

Woow that are some changes.

First, thanks for listening and not really listening. My idea was to have your links / boosts on grid as a hictor-bubble, not a sabre bubble.

For command ships to really, really (not) shine, how about increasing the signature radius of command ship to 30.000km so that dreads can hit them better.
Than increase the mass of commandships to 1 trillion mass, so they aren't so damn sooper slippery anymore and since they are goodererer now, I propose to increase the required moon materials by 7000% to make more Fereng- errm profit.

My Damnation was way too agile anyway.

Increasing the price to 60 billion won't make much of a difference anyways, since we are all skilled and stuff.

We are all doing incursions all day long, even the one character accounts that aren't logged on all day long.


One minute of sabre bubbles are a joke - an even bigger one since we still don't have Caldari, Gallente or Amarr interdiction destroyers.

The command destroyer pilots will rejoice since they will be renamed to "ever higher priority primary ships" that have a one time, one use with much, much, much ammo and stuff and 5y8m23d17h54m reload and go poof the can even think about "firing" a new boost-bubble.

On a 20km square-grid this almost makes sense.

And why wouldn't you want to fly an 8000km signature Vulture that wanted to be there too?

Actually, it was the capacitor reduction bonus that was removed.

I hope the new ship buffs allow all strips to be activated at the same time, plus maintain a tank.
