such as the 90 second delay to cloaking afeter mining lasor? it kind of negates the point of it, as ud just fit a normal cloak to a higher mining subsystem cuz ul be able to ninja better.

On closer examination, this is just a T3 mining barge...

I would also like to fit a t3 industrial ship to fit the role of a hauler, that is idea for traders to move goods in and out of null sec.

Also the cloaky sub needs 5 high slots for a probe launcher otherwise it's pointless for anyone using the ship outside of null sec.. Anyway i'm contradicting myself now as i'm sure CCP will be deciding the details

The current design supports dedicated hauling. A 25k m3 ore hauler or a 25k m3 gas hauler or a 10k m3 mercoxit hauler could be created with this current design.

As for high slots, there are currently 4 subsystems (2 defensive, 2 engineering) that could each add 1 high slot. This means with a cloak fit T3 industrial, you could have 6 high slots pretty easily.

As an example, cloak fit, adaptive shielding, mining laser field enhancement, emergent locus analyzer, and interdiction nullifier would result in a 6/5/2 layout with 4 turrets.

Honestly there are already pretty good ship alternatives for traders to move goods with safety (Prorator has a covert cloak and can be fit for 10k+ m3).

Couldn't the same be said for this T3 mining barge idea? I think having a hauler that can cloak, scan it's way through WH space, have a good tank and the ability to defend it's self with things like ECM would be awesome... Maybe increase the align time if an expanded cargo sub is used.

you know, I was gonna troll you for that post, but then I got to thinking about it . . . T3 is about being more versatile than T2 but not necessarily better, and you do have a point that it is essentially three iterations of a mining barge and a dedicated gas harvesting ship.

Do you have any suggestions for other industrial roles this ship could fill?

Maybe instead of the mercoxit miner which basically overlaps with the regular miner, it could mine ice or haul PI mats or something? IDK

I don't really know about that 25,000 m3 gas bay (... it just sounds.... too op), but EVE sure could use a dedicated gas harvesting ship! And the idea of T3 Blockade Runner is nice too.

In my opinion though, it'd be too much work redoing the whole T3 system onto another ship class. It's just gonna make the game too complicated by having so many subsystems/classes (people have already been complaining about that regarding new addition of some ships)
I'd rather ask for a subsystem addition to the current existing T3s then.. why would you want a specific Industrial T3 class and skill? Just make an "ORE Subsystem" pack.

Voted

I really like this idea, but I would still rather see this as an extension of existing T3 cruisers. It would really give an option for a one-ship-does-it-all exploration option, being able to configure for probing, combat, radar, mag, ladar, and grav sites, as well as being able to haul out the spoils.

Agreed. Bonuses to hacking and analyzing would be nice.

Yup, still not down with a T3 that's just a mining barge...

I like the idea of a T3 hulk, though I would like to see two subsystems that do the following:

one would have bonuses geared toward ice harvesting; reduction in harvester duration primarly

the other would have bonuses geared toward drones; attack, defense, and yield bonuses
