Is it worth putting a command ship pilot with max mining bonus's + implant into a rorqual and what sorta numbers would u be looking at?
atm i got the barge mining lasers cycle times to 139.5 would manning the Rorqual drop this number by much more ?
with ice t2 harvestors cycle times are around the 3mins 45 sec mark
and standard turrent lasers cycling at approx 46sec (could not remeber exactly)

currently, you get 131.4 duration vs. the 139.5 duration with mindlink on the rorqual when it is in industrial mode. Which with four hulks and a two hour op equates to about 2 extra cans of ore (57,158m3)

I sooo want to spend 2b+ on a ship that is such a difficult target to take down and increases mining output so dramatically.

Style is all it is.
That extra boost equates to having those 4 hulks mine for another 7.5 minutes to get those last 2 cans vs. training capital industrial ship skill to lvl 5.

Not saying that Im not a fan of style, and dont get me wrong I already have a nice butt groove worked into mine.
However I really think these things need to change mining like Carriers changed PVP.

The numbers aren't right Chronotis.
Each level of Industrial Cap Ships adds 5% to the effectiveness of the ganglinks, no?
so maxed out without Rorqual with the mindlink we have 22,5% which translates to 139,5 sec cycle time at ICS level 1 22,5% times 1,05 is 23,625% = 137,475 secs at ICS level 2 22,5% times 1,1 is 24,75% = 135,45 secs at ICS level 3 22,5% times 1,15 is 25,875% = 133,425 secs at ICS level 4 22,5% times 1,2 is 27% = 131,4 secs at ICS level 5 22,5% times 1,25 is 28,125% = 129,375 secs
unless level 1 doesn't count at all.

Hmm... So there is absolutely no point in using one of these in a belt when my max spec leadership command ship corp member gives the same as level 2 rorqual. No reason for that to sit in a belt, lame.

We need an ORE Command Ship tbh, I do like the Rorqual (just because it's a carebear thing) but it still lacks a smaller type of vessle with mining bonuses.

Why risk it? Drop a small POS. If you can't afford a single small POS, a corp hangar array, and the fuel costs, you probably shouldnt even be considering using a rorqual as a gang link ship.

Because if you don't take it out you can't use its tractor beam bonus and need someone to haul the ore to you to compress. That said I'd never use it like that in 0.0, if I get one it's going to be solely a compression machine (I'll leave jump-hauling to the carriers). ---- AUS Corp Lead Megalomanic EVE Automated Influence Map: Keeping Down The Clone Business Since 2007AD |

If you take the ship to the belt to use the tractor beams you either:
a) have to siege in the belt to keep the mining bonus and compression going -- this seems risky
or
b) leave siege and lose the mining bonus and also the ability to compress and be a worthwhile hauler -- without being able to compress the rorq can only haul about twice as much as a T2 hauler but with the agility of a capital ship which would render it less useful than a real hauler.
The rorq seems cool, but I'm not sure it is much better than just using a normal hauler taking things to a POS. The rorq can compress all the ore in a minute or two, and then jump out. It doesn't really need to be at the op for its design feature unless you really want tractor beams -- at which point you have to siege in the belt for 5 minutes which people will want to avoid.

So, you gain like what, maybe 25 mil worth extra in ore (that's two can's worth of best ore right now, right) ? Realistically speaking, more like 20 mil, even less. Divide by four pilots in two hours, and it's 2.5-3 mil extra per hulk pilot per hour (if you don't count the Rorqual pilot in on the split, then it's only 2-2.5 mil extra).
Well, not bad, but not impressive either.
And at L4 in both skills, you eat up 15360 units of heavy water (6144 m^3) in the process (in 2 hours). At least the cost is negligible (half a mil or so). Just remember to bring enough of it with you for the whole op. _

NO - why
The theorie results are good.
But its not the cycle time but that every ganglink have his own results of extra bonus:
mining foreman link - laser optimization >> into duration Mining Foreman Link - Harvester Capacitor Efficiency >> Capacitor need Mining Foreman Link - Mining Laser Field Enhancement >> into yield
etc. etc.

Ya I don't get this ship anymore. I mean ore compression is cool, but I see the hardest minerals to move around are the low ends which are mined in safe sec, but you can't get jump into safe sec, so uh ya, I guess you could do your low end mining ops in a .4 or lower system, but for the average low end miner that is hard to do. This ship really isn't going to help where I thought it would, and that was the transportation of low end materials, since you need so many of them.

It think the intended purpose of the ship is right in its description/bonuses. It is designed to jump to a remote belt, deploy some barges/exhumers, clone in the pilots, go into industrial mode, and start mining. It will give the bonuses to the miners through the links, pull in the ore with the tractor, compress it, and stickpile the compressed ore. The compressed ore is then put either in the hold, and jumped back to the site of manufacturing, or put in a hauler and taken back. The advantage is not just the slightly better use of the links, but the lack of the need for haulers. Put these hauler characters in barges and see the real advantage.
Now, this is the intended purpose. Whether it is used in this matter, is up to the pilot.

Or you use it deep in your alliance territory.
Lock the system bring in a fleet for defence, scouting and as many hulks as you can in Carriers and Moms as well as the Rorqual.
Even if the Rorqual can only tractor in one belt at a time, it will give bonus to all the Hulks in the system.
Put the rorqual in the Wing Commander and have defence pilots in Squad leaders and you can boost dozens of Hulks at the same time. Clean a system in a matter of Hours of every roid.
Thats how I see it used :)

I appreciate all the responses from players and I too see this used in an OP with a full defense support group at the belt. Now I would like an answer from CCP as to how they intended it to be used. I can't see CCP saying this needs to sit at a POS. If that is the case WTH are the tractors for. And something this size should not be easily take out by a roaming gang of 10 or 15 pilots. That's absurd. Come on CCP gives up some help here. It really sucks when you guys sit around silent.

The ONLY way to defend a 0.0 mining op is to lock down the system by placing your defense gang on the gate with a large bubble. Sitting a capital, which will take anywhere up to a minute to align out, in a belt, is idiocy. Now matter how good you think your "defense group" is, it isn't.

So I agree on the locked down system. done that. What I want to know is if you intenede this thing to sit at a POS, why did they add Capital Tractor beems and why are they talking about making gang bonuses only afect the grid you are on?
Some of your comments don't hold water when all the facts from CCP are on the table. Last why can;t CCP speak up about this instead of us reading their minds?

This is very true. That's why this thing needs some more tinkering. Hell a well fit hulk is a formadable foe, this thing shoudl be too. It shoudl take a capital ship or at least 20 ships to take this out. (hey I can dream can't I)
Besides, there are only two types of Rorqual pilots... Those that have been ganked, and those that WILL be ganked

Ya this seems to make far more sense than a 2B capital ship. I really like the idea of an industrial cap ship. This thing would make an incredible empire/0.0 supply ship if it could go into high sec like a freighter, but as it stands it seems fairly useless. And if the target audience for it is a large alliance which will put one pilot in it for a locked down mining op then it seems like a lot of dev effort for such a small scale use.

After carefully going over the calculation for a maxed out hulk with a rouq in a gang ninja mining, it turns out 1 hulk roughly makes 40mill per hour, and it takes nearly 3.2 hours to fill a Roq with Ark...
so that is about 600mill for an entire ninja op.
Now when you factor in: 0.0, hostiles everywhere + extra scout support and or carrier support and fuel bills, fielding 4 hulks in a belt with a bs tanker or using the roq to tank...
You field nearly 3 bill min of ships, for 600 mill after 3 hours if hoping someone and there gang of friends doesn't spot you in 0.0..?!
This isnt a whine, it is just the ship is well rubish I can not see even hardcore miners using it, that is if people mine anymore

So, are you suggesting that a group deploying a Rorqual should earn enough in one three-hour mining session to pay for the ship itself? Because that is probably NOT the right way to think when using the ship. Of course, if you can string together 5 such successful ops, you have a nice sum as a result and have probably paid for the ship.
I still think that this ship has definite plusses, especially if you can find a nice system with certain qualities. I can't wait to deploy one myself, as I just became Rorqual-capable yesterday.

I have decided there are two types or Rorqual pilots. Those who have lost their rorqual and those that will. I'm am now OK with that. Then agian there is the ORCA?
