And for the name of balance, remove the mining ability from ships greater than frigates.
Too harsh. Just change it so that Mining Laser Upgrades won't work as good on non-mining ships.
For example, having a higher CPU penalty, but giving mining ships a role bonus, reducing the penalty to the current values, or even lower.
It's ridiculous that a beginning miner has to read "You have to decide whether you plan to use an Apoc, with good defense or a mining barge, with low defense. The yield will be almost the same, unless you progress to Exhumers...".
[ edit ]("...or put in a dozen MLUs, giving you even more yield than the best T1 mining ship made specially for mining.")

So after all this, and the apparent backing off by CCP, what was the point of stealth nerfing the coupling arrays?
I'm sure some folks got boned on that one. Why was that necessary?

It caused an artificial price ceiling on trit and funnily enough it's the second time it is getting nerfed as it before that caused a price ceiling for pyerite.
I doubt NPC goods ever was intended to be a source for minerals. Now people will have to mine the 1.3b trit needed for a supercap instead of getting it from the local NPC station.

Or even better: Allow us to reconfigure how many slots there are of each type when it the lab is offline.
Chruker ftw!
How 'bout it, CCP?

Update regarding Advanced Mobile Lab
The original concept has changed following feedback.
Feedback from whom? The T2 cartels?
This screws the inventors who were finally going to catch a break, and further feeds the T2 cartels. This is a truly crappy nerf. End of story.

My own opinion is from my own experiance in game and i can insure you about 1 thing for sure. There is almost never low end ore will be mined so much in 0.0 space as the high end ones so long it will not give same profit as the high end ore. simply because no one want spend 1 hour of mining/game time to mine asteriod of veldspar and get lets say for example 10m isk reward in that used time so long there is an bistot asteriod next to this veldspar what will you give 5 times so much isk in exact same use of time/gameplay.

I'd also like to know if the Rorqual can dock and also can it be used in high sec?

Yes it can dock, and no it cant be moved into high sec.
Contact me, if you would like to buy one.

I am still confused,
What is so hard about taking a freighter sized ship and slapping a intensive refining array to its back?
You take all the mining bonuses you get from all the exhumers and attach it to this vessel so it can mine anything it comes across. Give it a jump drive with a short range (so we can't use it for hauling). Make capital strip miners that can target roids at 100km to 200km (like the capital tractor beam). Give it shields like the rorqual and resistance like a hulk and call it a day! The capital strip miners can mine anything at the same speed as any of the exhumers making it equal to them not supperior. Keep your 3 hour timer on the refining array and give it a cargo bay big enough to hold the next cycle worth of ore, say (200,000 m3 maybe alittle bigger just to hold jump drive fuel). Then give it 200,000 m3 m3 more as a catch for the refined minerals. Thats a total of 600,000 m3 for all you keeping score (thats smaller than a freighter fyi).
Capital strip miner:
1. long range 100-200 km
2. can mine all ore types (mercoxit, ice, everything) at the same rate as its exhumer counterpart.
3. skill required inclued all requirements to use t2 ice miners, deep core, modulated
4. must have all ore refining skills to lvl 4 (equivelant to t2 mining crystals)
5. maybe a 1% bonus to yeild per lvl (if you feel generous)
Capital mining Barge:
1. All bonuses that are included on all mining bargs and Exhumers
2. Jump drive (short range)
3. replace all corp hangers and maintenance bays with cargo m3 (one separate cargo bay for refined minerals).
4. 5% bonus per lvl to refining array efficency (up to perfect refines)
5. at lvl 5 the refinery will be able to keep up with supply of ore from the capital strip miners and drones. (refinery only works with ore fyi)
6. Very long skill path this vessel (Mining Barge lvl 5, Exhumer lvl 5, Captial ships lvl 3, Captial Barge lvl 1, all ore refining skills to lvl 4 plus incentive to go to lvl 5, Jump drive operation lvl 1, Ice processing lvl 4, Deep core mining lvl 5, Capital strip miner lvl 1) you get the picture.
The bottom line is this ship mines and refines at the same rate that exist in its exhumer and refining array counterparts. The bonus to the miner is he can mine a whole belt of asteroids without repositioning too much. Refine his ore on the spot. Stay out in areas of space that done have stations or POS's for long periods of time. Use his jump drive to escape if needed. Isn't going to destroy the mineral market because he mines and refines at what are currently excepted rates.
