CCP Anounces New Destoyers and Mining Ships

In a Ten Ton Hammer Video Interview, CCP Soundwave mentions that he hopes to have a new line of destroyers, and new ore mining ships that are made as a stepping stone for new players into the more advanced mining ships, ready for the winter release.

Link, relevance begins at 1:30.

I usally write one of these and then change it a month later when I reread it and decide it sounds stupid.

Day 1 ore mining ship... Mining needs ships to train for beyond the Hulk. If you specialize a character in mining...you're done in 2 months ship wise...but if you are combat oriented...you literally have years of training to do.

Good interview though, thx for sharing it!

I know it's a novel concept, but EVE does get new players, some of whom are unable to miraculously skip the early few hours spent mining in your first Bantam to save for a cruiser.

1) You're bad at this and you should feel bad.

2) For those whose badpost detectors are broken, this is clearly for the new player experience and all those "unborn children" you wish would subscribe after your buddy invite trial so you can have your PLEX or whatever.

3) You're really bad at this.

Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

Shouldn't you all like new miner ships so you can just suicide gank them with 1 light drone? If they continue the paper thin hulls on mining barges scaling downward, they should have about 38 EHP. You'll have to fight off the other gangs of real pvpers extracting 'tears' of the 3 hour old players though, so maybe that's why you're upset?

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

SO if there are lower tier ORE ships...
Does that mean they can abolish those racial mining bonus frigs and cruisers for something more interesting?

Perhaps indeed ;3 up along with the tiercide perhaps we can see far more interesting roles for the bastard navitas and exequoror(however that's spelt)

Seeing as they are starting balancing ships across the board in "Inferno", and introducing ORE mining frigs within 9/10 months, this seems very plausible indeed.

New dessies makes me more excited than anything else thoBig smile

Three things:

1) Rorqual

2) Two months training makes you gank bait as a Hulk driver. A year makes you a good miner.

3) Rorqual

Perhaps tech 1 logistics? It's a surprising oversight that none exist yet.

Not really. Hulk is one ship. Pick any other one ship and aim towards shooting for that and maximizing it's capabilities and you'd have a similar training time.

Rorqual/Orca are the cap ship extensions of the hulk (pretty much) so compare the training time for those to any cap ships you might have mentioned.

Hulk does it's job well, and CCP said it was the final mining ship
