Has there been any review with allowing the Rorqual into High sec?

This new module requires a new rank 8 skill called Invulnerability Core Operation that requires Tactical Shield Manipulation level 5 and Capital Shield Emission Systems level 3 to train.

CCP, Please look at Tactical Shield Manipulation. Right now training this skill actually hurts any passive shield tanking because the closer you are to 30% shield the higher your regeneration rate.
So by making TSM V a requirement you are asking people to train a NEGATIVE skill. The fact it's a negative skill to train in the first place is silly, since to maximise your passive shield tank you actually want it to start to leak as close to peak regen as possible, so any skill levels in this skill past 1 actually hurt your tank (you just use faction mods at 1 rather than T2).

Since compression arrays are common together with citadels and the new industrial structures, would it be unreasonable to let the rorq compress ore without activating the core ?

The reality is no one will field a rorq in hostile space anyway so a compression option will probably be available in the home space where you are mining, and thus, compression will be available to your fleet even without using the core. why not just let the rorq compress right on the spot ? This would certainly help the 1st pillar of the mining foreman.

Peak shield recharge is at ~30-33%, it falls off progressively underneath that. In a lot of cases, especially in passive shield fits, bleeding the damage to hull is actually a better option. TSM preventing the bleed hurts you in a lot more situations than it helps you.

Having TSM V is a pre-requisite for using the Rorqual's Industrial Core (by the way, the Rorqual is a shield-tanked ship). You cannot both extract this skill - to avoids its negative effects - and use a Rorqual.

I'd really suggest CCP runs the numbers on a scenario where someone multiboxes 10 Rorquals

All turret, missile, drone and smartbomb damage set to 0

- Please make the big mining drones faster. Otherwise their real and theoretical yields will be absurdly far apart. And parking caps next to a rock is stupidly tedious; if this thing is supposed to be less of a mining beast than it's stats read like just nerf the stats rather than getting there through a non-intuitive mechanic on a secondary system.

...

- I like the fact that the mining potential on this thing is not linked to fitting; it can roll full combat fit and still pull in some serious ore.

Now we only need to make sure its combat capabilities are balanced. Rorquing ball may be a thing. And definitely all offensive modules (including neuts and EWAR) should not be functioning while in PANIC.

I would rather have fast drones and lower base output than outstanding paper output which cannot be achieved.

Why is there always an assumption that that panic button is there to allow time for defenders to come and help. What if you operate in a small corp in null and there is no-one to help?
...
Are you just making players move into larger corps/alliances to try and benefit from having a defenders there by eliminating the small people.

Good luck with that, as the drone bonus only applies when the core is active, and you are stuck in one spot.

(skipping wall of text)
If I can get a mining barge and go solo, why do I need your corp?

The Rorqual ship maintenance bay needs review. It seems odd to have a capital industrial ship that cannot transport the ships/items it is helping to produce.

scenario:
we jump to a new system to ninja mine.
i have a rorqual, my friends are in a skiff.
