Can't have a capital mining thread without Chribba's fleet:

Im thinking this would be awesome, but with a twist. It mines 2x as much as a hulk, but it takes 4x as much away from the rock that youre mining.
For example you're mining from a rock with 100,000 veldspar in it, with a hulk one cycle of all your lasers would give you 14,360 veldspar (perfect skills no bonus/implant) and leave the rock with 85,640 veldspar left.
You hit the rock with one cycle of this thing's lasers and you'd get 28,720 veldspar (perfect skills no bonus/implant) but you'd leave the rock with only 42,560 left to mine.
This thing would destroy belts, but how "high end" are you willing to go at 1/2 efficiency? I think this would be a reasonable balance against the hulk, allowing you to mine faster but not necessarily better.
Also the amount put into your cargohold would be what counted toward the industry index, not the amount removed from the rock so everywhere wont immediately be at level 5 |

This is a terrible idea, and redundant now that CCP plans to add planetary ring mining. The whole point of POS moon harvesters is so that people wouldn't sit there with a fleet of 40 hulks mining tech all day. |

I would think, the OP wants to increase mining capacity lvls because in solo one would have to go back and forth to from and to a station to do a good amount of mining. If anything the hulk hold could be increased to allow for larger mining time between dumps. I agree it is a simple application or increase the percentage of the tech 2 cargo optimization rig.
I know one does not want to sit there with drones on an orca and mine for hours about hours to just get a portion of mining with respect to me mining in a hulk for a few hours. One solution is to increase the t2 cargo expander or increase the t2 cargo optimization rig. perhaps have a skill to optimize ones ability to manipulate those modules and rigs to increase hold capacity. |

still has double the yield of a hulk. the drawback isn't a drawback. having double the yield means it mines better, how fast an astroid pops is irrelevant. |

A mining dreadnought, 10-minute siege mode and all, would be both a nice buff to mining in nullsec and small-gang PvP. The yield couldn't be made to be too much more than a regular hulk -- 1.5 to 2 times as much would be good for the added risk and expense.

This already exists, use a regular carrier with as many mining drones as you possibly can fit. Also remember to let us know where you'll be using this mining carrier. |

Seems like a weird concept. Rather than a cap, I'd much rather see something with a little less yield than a Hulk but with an extremely hard to kill tank. A lot of people wouldn't like that though ;) |

Make a capital mining laser and then all dreads/titans could be used as capital mining ships. If 4 capital mining lasers on a dread could match or slightly exceed the yield of a hulk with a capital class tank.
That would make for a great solo null sec miner. High risk yes, but any capital class mining ship should be a high risk to undock. |

This is a splendid idea!
Some would baulk at a dread being used as a miner, but whatever, we used to use them as haulers :)
