Miners got a huuuuuge buff. Anyone that really cries bout these changes is a mororn.

With same skills i now mine more ice than before and got quite a nice boost with my mackinaw.
Got some skiffs fitted if some hard time comes, man that ship has a nice tank.
And my orca is on the way, whenever i get it, hulks here i come. Really nice mining capabilities.

I mean wtf really? Ppl are really dumb

Miners got a massive boost in EHP.

But CCP nerfed the **** out of ice mining bonuses on the mackinaw.

While I tend to be on the miners side of opinions, the whining over destroying the cargo rigs is really sad. Many of them seem to be quite short sighted. Unable to see past their current fit to the benefits of the new one.

I will say I'm a little disappointed at the so called defense buffs, but I'm glad to see the rigs opened up for other uses.
I suspect that miners will still find a way to gimp their defenses.
Hey! I know! Let's all fit Medium Auxiliary Thruster rigs!

Once again it goes from bears chestbeating and salavating over ganker tears that didn't exist to outrage and true tears.

Apparently, making anything besides the Hulk a viable miner is like punching a baby repeatedly.


Too many posts about ganker tears? Yeah, makes sense to waste bandwidth on a post like yours, OP.

Was pretty suprised at the amount of complaining I saw from people, while on my alt today.

Apparently the hulk is supposed to mine the fastest while hauling the most, CCP must have missed that memo.

And thus the Ice Mining Rigged Hulk was born.

To replace the Ice Mack.

Just like the Mack replaced the Cargo expanded Ice Hulk (or Cargo Expanded Ice Mack).

Oh, they did. The new barges are bloody amazing.


But the sheer number of people bitching about having to "downgrade" to make use of afk solo mining was hilarious.


Oh, and the loss of usefulness for Cargo rigs upset quite a few aswell.


Best thing I read was "Cargo rigs are useless? What the hell! Those things were expensive! They cost me 25mil!"

Thank you, kind Goon.


The cargo rigs aren't useless.

You can use them to have a full set of crystalsTwisted



Yes, please continue not to tank your now even more paper thin exhumer. I look forward to the taste of your tears.

I wasn't around at the time, but it is my understanding that miners cheered when they managed to convince CCP to impement can flipping. Is that correct?

Weird...I see people whining about miners who whine about everything, far more then I see anyone actually complain about something.
You should try posting about something that matters, instead of just complaining about people who complain...even though you're highly over exaggerating.

But who doesn't like repeatedly punching babies? I thought that was why people had them!

they did.. but a lot of people are stupid freaking jackasses who cannot understand ship changes.. their favorite ship gets changed and they freak out.

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.
