So you have these mining barges fitted with these huge lasrs capable of eating through massive amounts of rock but they do no dammage to any thing else .. now why is that??

If I can target a roid or a can then why not a ship?

Might give the gankers pause for thought (expecting huge howls of whining from them) if they got hit with the equivalent of a heavy beam laser doing massive thermal damage.

whacky enough?

No that sounds fine, let's do it


Then after miners have learned something about hi-sec aggro mechanics, we can discuss those too.

Then the gankers tank against you damage type and kill you anyway.

Also, good luck tracking a destroyer with a mining laser.
