last I checked alpha clones only got their faction's indy up to level one, so the gap between the miasmos and any other alpha accessible indy with cargo expanders isn't all that huge. I agree that it does provide another advantage to gallente alphas though. none of this would be a problem if the racial restrictions were lifted however. |

The easiest solution would be to move Miasmos, Kyros, Epithal and Hoarder to Ore and give Alphas the ability to train Ore industrial level 1 - would also unlock Noctis and the salvaging profession. I don't think that would be a problem. The Hoarder doesn't really seem to be the style of ORE, but I agree with the rest. Alpha clones could clean the space after l4 security missions, I don't think too many omegas would mind this.
I personally would not want alphas scanning me down and stealing my salvage before I can get to it, then again they would get CONCORDed if they tried to tractor any of my wrecks and salvaging in a noctis without tractor beams is a pretty silly thing to do. |

I agree that it does provide another advantage to gallente alphas though. none of this would be a problem if the racial restrictions were lifted however. That's a 20-30k different though. A bestower only gets up to like 15k-20k if you fill all the low slots with expanders. Gallente gets double the ore hold without sacrificing any speed. As far as ore hauling goes that's a massive difference. 100% more ore per trip.
with expanders and rigs a bestower can hold over 32km3. the miasmos at lvl1 holds 46.2km3. that's an approximate 44% (let's say 50% if you count the cargo hold with expanders and rigs as well) difference, which, while still significant, is a far cry from double capacity. if you're using an indy to scoop jet cans full of ore then you only need 27.5km3, as that is the maximum capacity of a jet can. if you're planning on hauling the ore itself you're better off reprocessing it and moving the processed materials (which are much smaller) in a standard indy with expander mods and rigs or simply selling the ore locally in system. |
