Pretty much a tech II version of the soon to be realeased mining frig instead of having an ore bay it has a special compressed gas tank that can compress gas much like a rorque can compress minerals...

the ferox is loosing its optimal range bonus and ganing a 5% to damage bonus plus an extra mid slot plus increased base pg...

now back to the question at hand...

what do you guys think about the new mining frig being turned into a tech II gas harvester...

People mine gas? Thats even more boring than belt mining.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

Don't mining lasers take a turret slot? That means the new frig should have three turret slots and should be able to mine gas from three harvesters.

Instead of a new gas mining ship, how about just changing ore bays to allow raw gas (unless they do already). That makes the new frigate even better.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

Makes you wonder how many people will give the dedicated gas ship a flatulence-related name.

name mine "I got gas"

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

Cause theres a hard cap at 5 harvesters, there are no yield increasing mods, no ships with yield bonuses.

With the current mechanics, any ship without 5 turret slots is terrible at gas harvesting compared to a ship with 5 turret slots.

Actually, it should have 5.
1 for each skill in gas mining as it's a T2 harvester ship.
No strip miners, and not enough power to fit more than 3 mining lasers.
