.After all these years why cant we get inside our space ships!! Im surprised we even have skins!!

The new launcher takes 3 to 5 times longer to start the game than the old installer! Not that good!

After the last update the new launcher takes 3 to 5 min to start the game! Its a load of crap!!

The Hulk only has an 8.5k ore bay while the Mac has a 30k and the Skiff has 15k. Way to go CCP!!!

The new ice fields went from plenty of ice to not enouph ice. Another Way to go CCP!!!

Apparently you don't understand the points of these two changes.

I understand that the Hulk used to be the best mining ship. I also understand the new ice fields killed my ice mining corp!!!

Hulk is still the best mining ship if you have support.

You might want to consider upgrading from an Apple II on a dial up modem.

Tank or yield, your choice.

Miners asked for more safety from pvpers, CCP delivered. That there are choices to make and consequences for those choices is entirely consistent with eve.

If you want the higher yield of a Hulk, then the consequence is less tank and smaller capacity.

If CCP can't even get a ship skins release to go smoothly, what makes you think they could even remotely get avatar play to work properly?

Also if its taking 3 to 5 mins to start the game you either have a really old and slow computer or are exaggerating how long it takes to start the game.

It just started being really slow after the last update.

The slightly higher yield is not worth the low ore capacity. Unless you have an Orca for support...I don't.

Don't blame CCP for the changes. Blame the same people that cause you to complain about the lack of ice anymore. Your fellow miners.

It was miners whining that bought about the changes to the barges and exhumers. It's the same people that chew through the ice fields you used to make so much ISK from.

It's not CCP you should be upset with. Go declare war and force them back out of the belts and then mine with whatever you like.

That's pretty much the definition of working as intended right there. You even seem aware of the other options that would suit you better. I guess I'm missing the issue.

Hulk's and Corvettors are "Fleet" mining ships. Small bay, higher yield.
Mack and Retriever are "General" mining ships. Large bay, medium yield.
Skiff and Procurur are "WHY WON'T YOU DIE" mining ships. Medium bay, lower yield, bastards to kill.


Now you want a real pet peeve.. Why can't I see Crystal damage without it being loaded in the gun, or in a contract? That drives me nuts..

All these changes been happened a fewyears ago. Why are you here now? I mean all these years you've struggling and finally decided to make a post? Or you've been away for a while and now the current picture doesn't fit into your old frame?

You should be flexible and make an effort to adapt to changes. If not try something different other than mining.
