What about applying the same changes to the Skiff that are going to blockade runners; i.e. drop it's +2 warp strength and give it the ability to fit a cov ops cloak?
Ninja-mining is one of the oldest, and most exciting activities in EVE. Would it not be about time that there was a specialized ship for that?
Surely that wouldn't be imbalanced as it's not that you can make billions mining in that thing, but it would add a significant bit of fun to the game.
If nothing more it should bring back a bit of nostalgia to those that can still remember ninja-mining in 0.0 in a Probe.

But I thought stealth bombers were supposed to bomb. If you fix it it'll rock, not bomb. ____________________

I can see it now, ratters going bat**** about an AFK cloaked neutral, and the neutral is in a SKIFF.

let it mine whilst cloaked. The only indicator of it's presence being the lazors spitting out. With the changes to local, this will cause some..... interesting..... encounters.
Intie Pilot: "Ok, gang, looks like it's empty in this system, let me check that belt way off though, see if I can't pick something up on scan from there." Gang: "Oh you lazy whure." Intie Pilot: "Bastards. Hm, nothing from here either cept rocks and...... wtf? Damn graphics card puking out on me?" Skiff: "Uh.... yeah, let's go with that." ------ "Tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure." |

They have a cloak and special ability to use it. That's enough. If they got more they would be overpowered. Give them a cov ops cloak and nobody will eve whine over falcons anymore, because you get warped to and instapopped by a horded of bombers which your gangmates didnt even see long enough before they flew off again.
They ll just warp to a fleet approach align to warp out, drop their stuff, pop a ship, maybe drop a lockbreaker, and warp out. Rinse repeat.
Will lead to the most boring fights ever.

When I first flew my Purifier it was a laser boat. Bombs is an afterthought.
Gimme my laz0r pew pew Purifier.. I'd love having 3 Tachyons fitted instead of 3 cruises.

SHHHH!!! Don't try logic and reason here...they'll cut you off at the brainstem...
Personally, I had a big grin on my face over the blockade runner changes. With every decent gatecamp I've ever seen lately packing some kind of warp scrambler bubble, the +2 warp scrambling resistance was something of an in-joke. Its still a great hauler for low sec, but as worthless as anything other unescorted hauler in 0.0. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

Well, of course it would also need the extra high-slot to fit the cloak whilst still be able to fit only one miner.
Any more thoughts on this?

I too, would like to see additional industrial ships become better stealth ships than the entire stealth ship line. I believe that this change will be a positive shift in game design paradigms, resulting in greater player freedom and an environment of equality and balance for all involved parties.
I seek to know the place that I might subscribe to further balancing ideas and thoughts, should such a newsletter or other medium be available for monthly purchase.
