something ccp should put in the game is a class of cruiser sized ships built for mining only with something like 6 high slots with say alot of cpu to hold mining lasers but not much powergrid so you cant put beyond small weapons in it and a moderate sized cargo bay not as big as an industrial but something like 1000 m3

very good plan, was gonna go say the same thing.
Maybe even create a whole line of "Industrial" ships (not just the cargo ships :)

I said the same thing about a month ago....I was flamed off the boards. But I'm glad to see that i'm not alone in my desire for such a ship.

Devs in jumpgate relized the need for these. Noticed some elite mining frigates inbound into the game, hope we see more industrial orientated ships as well.

Devs in EVE seem to have realised the need for NOT having them. Anything that cuts down on the need to co-operate, in a multi-player game, is by definition a bad idea.

Hum ... that's right.
I must admit that this kind of ship should be veeeeeery useful is the space becomes very unsure day by day.
I don't want to sacrifice my battleship in a mining session 
And consider this skill "Spaceship Command/[eve_race] Miners - N% Mining yeld bonus and N% Cargo bonus" 
Ok ok, i deserve to be flamed for this

What would you consider a reasonable mining ship?
I would think the ship should be very restricted.
I.e. A number of high slots that can only take mining lasers.
Very few mid and low slots.
A large cargo bay.
Have a drone bay for using mining drones.
They should also be slow and weak.

"very slow and very weak" otherwise mining in 0.0 would be too easy, you need a battleship out there if you want to mine on your own (either that or your own a number of secure containers out there.)

They sould not have any weapon on them, or any combat drones, only mining tools

I thought we already had the ultimate mining ships, they are called battleships.
People strip mine with these things so effciently there are no roids for noobs.

Now this I have a problem with.....why are we mining with military ships? A battleship shouldn't be able to mine anything! It's a battleship! You don't see people taking vacations on aircraft carriers do you, of course not! And why, because that is not what they are for.

1. Miners should be fitted only in special designed slot "mining turrets"
2. Only specialiced mining vessels will have such slots
3. Whole new branch of such ships, from frigate size to bigger than industrials
And i`ll be happy

It would be a good idea if there were ships just for minning it would help out the minning corps and give then sumthink to do and aim for, i think that the minning ships should have only special slot just for minnign equitment (it would just be like smart bombs in high slot but this would be minning lasers) plus i think that the cargo hold's should be at least 1000m3 as it wouldnt be a minning ship if it wasnt.
ow yes sumthink else i think that there should be npc's that have a specail applying form that you have to fill out and if the info on the form is satisfactory then the ship should be given out, because if it was given to every one then there will be no roids left for noob's so only minnign corps or ppl involved with minning corp should be allowed to have theses ships. ( sorry i didnt menction price,..... yes there should be a 20-30 mill price range for such corp ships)
it would be a good corprate ship as lots of ppl wil be minning but only ppl that specerlise in minning e.g. minning corps.
i dont knwo what you think but i just think it is a good idea if you place it right and adapted it right  
would like to see it not come into the game it is a very good idea.

Sorry to say, but the US Navy does do cruises for civilians and personale alike. They just go out for a ride and can relax.

I think the idea of specific turret mounts for mining lasers as opposed to combat weapons is a pretty sound one. Of course in one stroke that could nerf all the bs out there, unless they were adapted, but as I don't have one yet I don't care 
I'll do a sig one day soon(tm) |

Agree completely but the idea of changing to mining only turrets is absurd, why not just make then like industrial ships. Only able to fit small turrets and/or miners.
I've seen npc indys with 4 turrets on them why not make them available. I doubt it would be that hard for the devs to do.

I've always thought that there are several ships already that could be exceptional miners, if only some way could be found to use their drone bays as cargo space 'too'.
For instance, even a Thorax, if it could use some or all of that 2000 m3 drone bay and 5 miner 2's + a couple of drones for defense, it would work pretty efficiently.
An Iteron 4 or 5 could have 2 turret slots open perhaps? ...I suppose enough powergrid to have a 10MN MWD would be too much to ask(?).
A module? A skill? ...A whole new line of the same types of ships?
There are lots of fighters, and quite a few haulers, but no 'dedicated' miners, so I say yes, let's have a few...
