So here's the problem I run into: Mining with a hulk at full tilt (max skills, drones, implants, tech 2, etc.) I pull in more than I can handle in a 3 minute period (the current cycle time on deploying a new jetcan). This poses a problem as I always need to hug the Orca I work with and dump directly into its fleet hanger. This is inefficient because the Orca is generally best stationed in a neutral point, which isn't near the 'roids. This is frustrating because that means to hug the Hulk I need to have my mining drones cover lots of distance to do their stuff.

Now, I could mine into a jetcan during the whole time, but then the can is at risk of being snagged, plus if everyone in a mining op does that, that's a lot of work for the Orca pilot.

Ideally, I could have the Orca drop a MTU, and have everyone who's not hugging the Orca drop cans whenever their hold starts to get full. Then the MTU tractors and loots the ore, and the Orca can dump it in its hold.

Problem is, going back to my original statement, the Hulk fills up its hold before a new jetcan can be deployed, which means that this method would cut into mining efficiency. Very frustrating.

Trimming the jetcan timer to 2 minutes would solve this problem though, as in 2 minutes, even with staggered lasers, a Hulk can't fill its hold. That way I can just keep dumping into a can every 2 minutes without annoying the Orca pilot.

Any chance of having the jetcan timer reduced to 2 minutes?

EVE takes effort, please remove effort and thinking - migraines and stuff..

So, no!
