okay, lets try this again lol

so with the new battlecruiser rollout, and the existance of strategic cruisers, i couldnt help but think about indutry.
eve is built on pvp, and industry is the backbone thereof (someones gonna need a new ship)

that being said, i would love to see certain things:
an advancement of tech 3
more use of mining drones

therefore i am going to propose the idea of a strategic industrial.
it should be on par with current barges, boosters, haulers.
using the T3 cruiser modular style, you should be able to bring it slightly under par in some areas in exchange for flexibility to increase in others.

areas:
cargospace
tractor range
ore mining
ice mining
gas mining
drone mining (the concept of a drone mining barge on par with laser mining barges)
foreman boosting
defense (null can be evil at times)

it should be able to fill any industrial role, but not replace existing ships (same boost as orca, less cargohod...things like that)
so go ahead people, give your comments on this concept, maybe we can come up with a solid new tech3 advancement.

There was an excellent multi-page thread on the old forums, so adding in here to boost.

Obviously it takes a lot of time and effort to build 4x Tech 3 ships, with all the different modules and balancing for combat. The original idea (which was quite detailed) was a single ORE Tech 3 Cruiser/Battleship sized vessel that would act as the Paladin/Rattlesnake of industry pilots.

That is, a player that wants to do combat can spend huge amounts of isk, getting hold of his faction Battleship, equipping it was expensive high-end items like officer weapons etc.

Industrialists can't do much more than train to fly a hulk or Freighter, there's very little itemisation or specialisation and no Selyn's modified strip miner

A Tech 3 Industrial ship would be amazing, not something to out-mine the hulk, but rather offer more utility, such as module configurations that allow it to mine efficiently in low-sec, or a scanner/miner hybrid setup for hidden ore belts

As above by MSL, a drone mining barge would be awesome fun too

yes, the utility/customizability is my main focus.
i want to se things like:
foreman barge for running without orca or rorq (perhaps slightly less boost on mining, significantly more boost on manuever and cargohold: for mining runs into hostile territory)
drone barge on par with mining barges (highslot for weapons against rats, in my opinion mining drones dont get enough use, could make them more valuable to produce)
scanning barge (like that idea)
scanning boost hauler (could also be useful, less bonuses then orca, but add scanning)
more defensive options (barges pop easy right now, and also think about speeding up getaways)
cloaked flying (barges, haulers)
and just to clarify, when i say hauler, i mean something with accessible hangar for dumping into, like orca and rorq

PS:
ability to inscrease cargo at sacrifice of throughput perhaps
i hate seeing fields of secure cans (they r so unsightly) maybe some of this can help decrease the can count slightly

Was suggested by someone else. In a better, more well thought out manner with statistics and such.

Alright, another Tech 3 industrial thread, I represent

the Prospect

Very specifically thought out and planned for all contigencies of industrial configuration without creating an overpower situation.

Only possible one is the warfare link will slightly leave more ore yield, I guess that could be bumped down? There is ALOT of info in that, to see it, will need the full jpeg. I just really don't want to copy/paste the whole thing.

To quote Lfod Shi

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.
