Lets start by saying that i personaly dont mine and i fully support ganking mininers, the fact that its allowed makes this game like no other. and i live in null sec so the less ppl mining the better for my corp mates who do mine. Big smile

but i was thinking that some times ganking is just too easy and should be made a littel more intresting.

so i would like to see Faction Mining Barges. can fit the same amount of strip mininers but with no mining bonus. instead have an additional 3 higslots for launchers or turrets and the bonuses can be for tank and DPS. like a Damage bonus to FoF missles or a turret bonus.

This way as soon as the would be victim gets agro he can shoot back and help concord kill the ganker faster but if the ganker is sucessful he has a nice faction ship on his killboard. Maybe make them cost the same as the T2 equivalent or higher.

With no mining bonuses to the ships this would not make the current exumers obsel33t.

Once upon a time there were no mining barges. Back then people would mine in apocalypses.

You know how hard it is to gank an apoc?

This would give the the miners something new and it would make them stop bitching so much .

Just give Mining Barges a 3-4 Mid Slots then give Exhumers and Barges Grid to hold a real tank. Large Shield Extenders will make Gankers think, do I really want to spend the ISK to commit this gank.

Anyone stupid enough to have empty slots then deserves the loss.

Yes they get to remove half a Brutix's Shield before exploding.

'Cause someone planning a gank wont figure out how to do kill an expensive mining barge with the required amount. =/ People already use 5-6 Apocs to nuke a faction BS that is deadspace/officer fit already.

I personally couldn't give a flying crap about miners bitching. There are things they can do to negate the risk of being ganked at the cost of mining efficiency. It's a fair tadeoff.

Although faction mining barges would make for awesome killmails.

Faction mining barges would be only available in the ORE LP store and thus cost about 1bil+ ISK each. Only Chribba would fly one.

How dare you imply that it would stop us bitching! I, sir, have Bitching trained to level V and I din't make mining my profession in order to be happy and content about things! I need to complain and if CCP try to give me nice things, well, it's petition time.

Look at my killboard. I dare you to find a single miner kill. In fact, I dare you to find a single high-sec kill. I don't have any... know why? Because I PvP outside high-sec.

Also yes. Post with your main.

Ganking faction barges would be even more worthwhile. A few Tornadoes should do the trick TwistedTwistedTwisted

Perhaps you haven't noticed, but mining barges are all ORE Faction ships.
