upgrade possibility for the industrial and the mining barge (, or they nerf the catalyst to kingdom come and we never see that particular unwanted tactic back again, there is no fun in it at all)

when this situation is still in the game
there allways be complayned about that particular item
that will NEVER NEVER NEVER STOP

gankers on unarmed vessels are a glitch in the game
exept when i can defend myself to destroy those pilots
then there is BALANCE
untill then

untill then i declare this game bugged (for me as a miner)

idea and solution give the freighters :the bonus +2 warp (like the venture)

idea and solution for mining vessels :
when a strip miner target a catalyst ( with his strip miner crystals or ice) it will obliterate it ....
(the damage value is depending on the kind of crystal the stripminer is loaded with)

so no extra slots has to be added to the vessel

SO..... there is your balance....

Ok.

Show me where I can find a drill rig or excavator with guns on it.

Sometimes things like mining barges are the way they are because they're technically a civilian vessel designed by a civilian company and that same civilian company hires contractors to perform defence. It's the same as in Africa and probably current middle east. You would maintain a private or contracted military presence to defend your fleet.

The rest of your post is just a joke. Your sense of entitlement is nearly off the charts.

Mine with either a Procurer or Skiff in a low-population system. Watch local and be ready to dock up if you see someone suspicious.

lol you would live long enough to destroy the ship even if you could use miners on it

(Maybe a hired protection force for playes (cops) . That would play agent timed missions that would sweep systems sites and have free attacks on neg standing player that have crimenal icons or a miner link to them for assit on fights and or protection

Tools and strategies already exist in game that allow a cautious and vigilant miner to minimise if not eliminate the risk of being ganked.

Not supported.

Another "ganking is bad and should not be allowed" thread.
It is permitted and is actually encouraged, as can be seen from the destroyer and hybrid buffs of years gone by.

Your fellow miners seem to have no problem, why should the game change in a horrible way because you're not playing smart?
That was a rhetorical question, there is no good reason that doesn't curtail the freedom of the sandbox for everyone else.

17. Redundant and re-posted threads will be locked.

As a courtesy to other forum users, please search to see if there is a thread already open on the topic you wish to discuss. If so, please place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forums needlessly, causing good feedback and ideas to be lost. Please keep discussions regarding a topic to a single thread.

There is a very real risk vs reward model within EVE. To remove that is essentially removing the lure of EVE Online. Beyond that, this is redundant and slightly rantorific.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

Thread locked.
