I think it would be interesting to see another ship added to the mining tree, this time a capital.

Maybe modularize the Rorqual to be either a compression ship or mining ship similar to the flexibility seen in T3's.

Hell, even add modules for production, refining ....... the list goes on. Something to make the Rorq a bit more useful

no

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

Lets fix the industrials we have now before we try to throw in another ship that has to be rebalanced a dozen times.

Hey, I like cheap ships. Capital Mining Ship +1.

@OP: You're bad, and you should feel bad.

This has been suggested many times, I'll leave you to use the 'search' function to discover what I meant.

What a new and refreshing idea. I took your idea one step further and made a ship.

(Thank me later I know)

how about if you just add a capital module to the rorqual that allows ship to mine.

Module would debloy the ship for balance and it would also mine more than any other ship in m3 naturaly.

I think this would be a great asset for the fight to get more industrialists to null and more rorquals to belts for pvper to target them.

And why I want it to be deplyed is cause it would be so out of balance if it's just a ship that is at the belt harvesting. The debloyment would balance the risk vs. reward.

So no new ships. Just a new module.

A capital mining ship with capital strip mining lasers would totally destabilise the mineral economy. That's why it will never happen.

If what you really want is some ship that gives an advantage to miners in low/null over miners in hisec then it already exists. The Rorqual gives substantially superior boosts to the Orca and cannot be used in hisec.

You might have more luck with your suggestion if you posted in one of the still open threads on the subject instead of creating a new thread.

Just in case you don't know, there is a search box near the top right of the forum that lets you search for other threads using keywords. I've included the three open posts which are basically the same as your proposal below, for your convenience.

It's always a good idea to check whether others have posted the same idea prior to creating a new thread. It avoids having lots of overlapping threads as overlapping threads sometimes annoys people and garners more negative responses than merely posting on the original post on that topic.
