I agree with Jim here, each race should have a kick-ass mining platform, regardless of how their battleships look like. Something like 7-8 turrets and 1000 cargo.

that would either turn into a battleship or a gun boat - something between cruiser and battleship

YOu might end up having multitiered level of mining ships, one for each major size class.
For example, if we have a Deep Core Miner for the Frigate, why not a Tech 2 Deep Core Cruiser Miner?
Example for the Gallente Race.
Deep Core Miner Elite Frigate --- Based on Imicus Class.
Deep Core Miner Tech 2 Cruiser --- Based on Exequeror Class with 500 cargo bay, 5 turrets, and 1600 drone space.
Deep Core Miner Tech 2 Indy --- Based on Iteron V class with four turrets and 2000 drone space.
Deep Core Miner on Tech 2 Battleship --- Based on Dominix class with 8 turrets and 4000 drone space.
Based on the trends what we are seeing with elite frigates now, specialized ships are based on existing hulls with enhanced attributes.

I totally agree with Jim. Saw you at a gate earlier today, but couldn't lock ya before you warped out :) My idea of a mining ship is one that's slow as dirt, has very little armor/structure, but has very very good shielding and the ability to mount one or two medium guns or a drone bay capable of holding a enough heavy drones to ensure protection in empire space. I'm a miner / researcher .. i hate using my bship to mine. I hate the fact that my corp had to come up with the minerals to build me a bship to mine in. Mining ships should be fairly cheap to start with, then increase in cost like any other based on their rank, but should never cost as much as a battleship to make. There needs to be a whole progression line of mining ships, just like every other ship type in the game .. starting at cruiser size and heading up. just my thoughts.
Don't make me get my flying monkies. |
