Hello CCP and EVE members,

While mining with a friend this afternoon I had that [quite precise] idea that I wished to share on this forum. I hope you'll share your feedbacks on it, keep cool !

ORE CAPITAL MINING CARRIER

Features :

  • Ore ship --> that implies she requires Ore skills and gives Ore bonuses and has Ore attributes.
  • Capital ship --> Slow mining boat, can cynojump.
  • Mining --> Considering the size, she'd have great ore bonuses (yeld, modules...)
  • Carrier --> My fav part of the idea, "Fighter-sized" Mining Drones, Cynojump ability, basic logistic abilities.
  • She shall not replace or make Orcas/Exhumers/Rorquals useless !


Ship Requirements :

  • Mining Barge Level V
  • Astrogeology Level V
  • Advanced Spaceship Command V
  • Capital Ships Level II
  • Jump Drive Operation Level I
  • Capital Industrial Ships Level I
  • Ore Capital Carrier


Mining Triage Requirements :

  • Science Level V
  • Mining Level V
  • Tactical Mining Reconfiguration Level I


Capital Mining Drones Requirements :

  • Leadership Level V
  • Drones Level V
  • Drone Interfacing Level V
  • Capital Mining Drones Level V


I'm waiting for your feedbacks buddies.

Could be interesting, even if this seems to need a new hull + a hull for the mining mini-me.

But what about the tank capabilities, except the shield tank I guess ?

I'm not sure about tanking abilities cause I don't consider the ship like a combat tool but I imagine she should have enough survivability to sustain a small/medium gang assault ..

Didn't thought about the weaponry yet, I imagine that she could carry some fighters too, what do you think ?

Do you think it should be able to fit boosting links like other carriers?

Not to shoot your idea down but maybe let rorqual and or orca use stripe miners.
