This idea have came up before but I couldn't find the orginal post in the old forums.

There should be new minging barges, but have the hulk be the one with the most yield.
For example:

Barge A:

-3 mining lasers
-25,000m3 cargo hold
-20% penalty to mining cycle
-very slow and high mass


Barge B:

-99.5% reduction in Cloak CPU Use
-2 mining lasers

Barge C:

-100% - 150% bonus to mining drone yield and speed
-1 mining laser
-High speed low mass

And thats about all what I can come up with . So what do you guys think?

Definitely not keen on Barge A. It just encourages AFK/Bot behavior.

Barge B could have some interesting uses.

Barge C.... mmmm... iffty. Change it to 200% mining drone MWD speed and yield and take off the the mining laser. That'd be an interesting mining boat.

How did you Veterans start?

You have a point about Barge A, well they can:

-remove drone bay
- significantly lower armor and hull
-and cut shield recharge rate
-remove mid slot

In order to make room for the cargo hold and to have enough power to propel it
