Unless I did my math wrong 73 blocks/hr (on the hulk) is in line with what a perfect mackinaw with a perfect orca booster will get right now.


could you please post your maths? i'm pretty much getting the same ore yields (i think the difference is that i'm not truncating values)

however the ore yields ccp posted are way different to those on sisi.

My "math" is looking at a maxed out rorqual boosted Hulk in EFT and seeing that it gets 2857m3/minute in yield. 2857m3 x 60 minutes is 171,420m3 per hour, which means 1,171,420 units of veld per hour, which is in line with what the blog says after accounting for the fact that I didn't bother to plug implants into the miner profile in EFT.

So, assuming the information posted in the blog here is accurate, things don't change. If sisi has different information, then perhaps its running a slightly older version than what is going to push to live or something.

Wait, so with the conversion to an Ore hold, do cargo expanders still work? Or will those just apply to the base cargohold?

Just the base cargo hold

Cargo expanders have only ever applied to the base cargo, not specialized (ore/fuel/corporate/etc) holds.

my maths has gone wrong somewhere, i've got 104.0625 second cycles with rorq bonuses, somehow i'm just getting more yield.

a hulk with...
t2 strips + t2 crystals, astrogeology, mining, mining barges, exhumers all at V, then 2x mlus and both the 5% highwall and the michi implant i'm getting 1961.03...m3 per cycle per strip, giving me 3392m3 per min.

**** knows, it's too late at night for me to be messing with this crap.

with orca bonuses it's 2898.5.. m3/cycle, giving 173,911m3 which is closer to dev blog numbers.

What happens if you take out the Michi? I doubt many people even bother acknowledging its existence given the 1b price tag.

with orca bonuses 165,630m3/hour
with rorq bonuses 193,832

orca bonuses with michi is closer than those two options it seems.


pyfa is giving me the same numbers, so ccp are missing some thing or something is getting a heavy nerf between now and release.

Last few days on sisi the hulk had the same as on tq, 1832m3/cycle with max rorq boost and just the 3% mining implant.

And how about the material cost to build the minning barges, any change!?!??!?

THey should cost almost the same to build!!!

confirming that is what i get without michi and 3% highwall instead of 5% highwall. also still puts it above dev blog numbers with rorq boosts, and below with orca boosts.

it's either really late and i'm overlooking some thing, or ccp are changing some thing between the current sisi build and release to get those numbers.

they have changed, check out science and industry there's a thread there about it.

I know not purely a barge related question but this from the dev blog:
Quote:
With the increase to shield hit points, the shield resistance bonus of Exhumers was making the gap between Mining Barges and Exhumers a bit too big, so we reduced the bonus from 7.5% per level to 5% per level.


Has me wondering as the ship re-blanching continues will the gap be closing between other T1 to T2 hulls?

Please make the cargohold 50 m3 bigger on all barges. We capsuleers do bring other stuff than just crystals you know :(

If you want to feel superior because you caught ccp out on a little mistake, be my guest, but their numbers are accurate for a reasonable set of assumptions.

lol wow, why are you so bitter towards me? I don't think this is the first time you've insulted me. Reasonable set of assumptions are that max mining yield based on perfect conditions = max mining yield based on perfect conditions. I was attempting to clarify misinformation which would have a massive impact on nullsec ice miners.

Hey, I really like what you are doing here, but it seems kind of boring that ORE have a monopoly on mining; in terms of RP and in player choice it might be nice to give them some competition at some stage.

build costs for procurer and retriever were increased a lot, the others i don't recall ... you can check on sisi though for exact numbers.

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

See above real fast, I just wrote a post real fast to get a place holder, then edited it in with more detailed information. My information is pulled from direct dealings off the test server, using rorqual boosts with mindlink, perfect miners, max yield fit, perfect implants. Orca boosts != max boosts. But that might help to explain things.


perfect fit hulk, orca bonuses, no implant. 73 blocks an hour.

and i'm 22 units of veld/hour behind what ccp get by using a perfect hulk, both 5% implants, and orca bonuses. [but i'm not truncating as would happen on tq]

that's as close as i can get to their maths.

Can you guys please think this through just a little bit before you finalize? Those of us noobie idiots who've spent months training for Hulks only to have them downgraded to a piddly craptastic support miner- I assume we'll be ISKompensated for the hundreds of millions of $$ we've spent on our soon to be useless ships correct?

Oh, and will this "uber" retriever at least get a third strip slot? Or just a bloated cargobay?

Glad I manufacture retrievers with an original BPO though, the price is about to go WAY up.


THE SKILLS FOR THE HULK ARE THE SAME SKILLS FOR THE OTHER EXHUMERS, AND ALL OF THEM GET BENEFIT F ROM HAVING HIGH EXHUMERS SKILL
