Having just received this item as a holiday gift I was quite disappointed to note it wasn't functional at all.

Now obviously adding a "better" stripminer to the game could be a serious balance issue which is why I suggest the following.

Change the item into a Stripminer that has a better yield pr. cycle but make it so it ONLY works on the useless ores you are told to collect in Mining Missions and make it Equipable on all ORE ships (even the Venture) It would give Mining missions a boost without unbalancing actual Mining in the belts etc.

Let us have a functional Chibba Module, Please!

Alternatively, may only be fitted to dreadnaughts :D

If I was bitching about free stuff I would complain about the colour of the Outlaw jacket. What I did was suggest a change to an ingame item that would be more fun if it was usable.

This is a far better suggestion.

Would have been cool if it was a limited run BP for a meta module.

I'll give this a +1 and even suggest it works as a +5% over a T2 strip miner with T2 crystal but only on Veldspar.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Why I feel bad for ccp sometimes.

I recall last year the yule lad present of the cloak made some mad because it was wrecking their market sales.

They can't catch a break here. Give a real item....catch crap for it. Give a joke item...catch crap for it.

As long as it is something in line with officer mods, I don't see much problem.

Oh, this isn't what this thread about though... Disregard this.

OT: I suppose, we could use some functionality for Director-level access keys and Reminders to pay sov bill. Accordingly to some people, it can fix EVE as well P

I'd be happy if it worked, even if it yields 1 unit/cycle. The fact that it would show up on killmails is hilarious enough Lol

Make it viable only for Veldspar mining?

I haven't actually seen the veldnaught, but I think I remember hearing it was a revelation...
Have the steip-miner on-ship model be the same size as a giga laser.... Maybe even have it as a capital sized module ^^

It should totally have been an Officer strip miner. Everyone getting it would ensure the price would not be in the billions (at least in the beginning), slightly more yield and purple on lossmails. This is a missed opportunity.

Poor CCP, I almost feel sorry for them for releasing useless junk that could actually have some meaningful joke use, in which CCP could have diverted some DEV time from the even more useless and money-grabbing, unimaginative NES rugs. Instead, it's just junk. I also, apart from my comment, don't see complaints here, just a mere suggestion to give players something useful. If that is "catch[ing] crap for it", we either have different standards for crap or some people are just oversensitive.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I needs me a dreadnought-sized veld-only mining laser.

That is all.
