Antimatter? Hail? Some other high DPS ammo?

This game does not need a T3 mining barge.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

A t3 barge that takes in minerals and puts out rocks of course!

would like to see an exhumer that comes with a big hook attached to a long rope - hook an asteroid and drag it back to station in one big piece :)

A tank mode a mining mode and an agile mode.

10 Plexes in an inaccessible PLEX Hold. The T3 mining barge is built with 10 PLEX inside its PLEX hold, and the PLEX hold cannot hold anything except PLEX, or maybe Aurum Tokens or the tears of CCP Devs.

The PLEX Hold will 100% of the time drop 100% of the PLEX it contains.

This should then encourage proper use of the T3 mining barges as PLEX transports, which will totally survive in belts everywhere.

Okay If anything

4 hi-slots with 2 turret positions can only fit 2 strip miners/ ice harvesters

5 mid-slots

5 low-slots

can fit covert - ops, no cpu reduction

40 m3 drone hangar, 25 bandwidth

Cargo hold: 2500 m3
Ore hold: 30,000 m3

Modes

1- Mining, %75 increase in harvest module yield, %40 reduction in harvest module cycle, %30 increase in harvest module range
2- Agility, reduces decloaking range to 1250 metersBlink, +4 to warp strength, %50 increase in velocity
3- Defense, %28 increase in armor resistances, %50 increase in structure resistances, can control 2 extra drones while in defense mode

Assuming this is no troll thread:


  1. Ore compression module, works on ore in ore hold, active needs to be started/stopped manually, bit of a cap hog.
  2. Higher range, based on skill level trained, level 5 giving 100% bonus to laser range, stackable with links.
  3. Faster laser cycle, level 5 giving 25% reduction in cycle time.


No need for daft DPS stuff; it's a mining barge FFS! Make it the elite ship in the range. Make the cost of the ship reflect the fact. It WILL be worth buying in the mid-term, due to the impressive yield/hour. That's assuming other players haven't "popped over for a chat".

Not a barge.

However I do think a mining sub with bonuses to standard mining lasers, gas harvesters (and possibly salvagers) and a cargo sub (which should not exceed Blockade Runner capacity, perhaps 2k m3? perhpas dedicated bays? It could, after all, be nullified and covert) should exist.

The versatility of Strategic Cruisers should not be limited to combat.

Cruiser sized ice miner for hitting belts in dangerous places but of course we would need smaller ice harvesters (shorter ranges) to fit in the high slots.

T3 mining barge :
1. Harvesting suns for totally new industry
2. Only in Null space!
3. 15 minut "siege" cycles ( cannot warp, etc)
4. 120k EHP

To be able switch out subsystems to take it from a mining vessel to a booster to a hauler.

Cloaking and interdiction nullification would be plus as well.

I'm not sure of what stats would be comparable but you want it for the flexibility rather than being better than a existing ship of that role.

Having a booster capable of supporting Stealth mining fleets of Prospects would be very nice. I know its possible to do it with existing T3 ships but its not ideal.

Depends on its role. Would like to see one to support mobile/small groups tbh in which case

Links
Small fleet bay for Crystals, Deep Core stuffs, etc.
Yield ~ Skiff/Mack levels
Enough about it handle Nullsec belts but more focused towards GTFO ability rather than tank/gank
Covops seems sensible given Prospect

Compression would be great but would hopefully be done in a way that realistically relies on friends to hold the output quite quickly. A one stop magic miner feels like it would be a step backwards from all the balancing efforts.

This sounds fairly reasonable.

T3 Mining barges? Am I hearing you right? T3 and mining in the same ship?

Doubt it mate

there's literally nothing a t3 mining barge could do, that isn't already covered by the 8 other mining ships that we have.

Meh. Headed in the wrong way on this. If there were to be T3 mining, just add some mining subsystems to the current T3 cruisers.

I disagree.

It can **** up general discussion EVEN MORE than today as the miners and those who kill them flail at each other with their handbags as the rest of us try and work out "just which group is it that is more ********?".

HTH :D
