A quick note;

I am a miner and industrialist. I am not and would never use macro software to mine.

But now, thanks in part to the amazing barge nerf, my passive income is now amazing.

I go to work and fire up my second laptop. I open two clients.

I set my well tanked barges on some ice, drop a few drones and go about my daily business. Checking the miners every so often to make sure all is well.

When they are full, I dock up, unload, rinse and repeat.

Of course, the price of ice product is going to crash out in no time and this passive income will be next to nothing.

Was this really the plan? Make AFK mining so easy that people would stop using macros?

I have anticipated losing ships to gankers. But so far just a few bumpers who think they are cool and neat and have discovered some new way to make me pay them. Give me a break.

I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen."

Oh now I get it, it's a stealth barge fairy tale thread.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Actually, It was a story about flatulence in a pod with no windows.

As do PvPers that claim to never mine.

So I added that just so I could be in the same silly tinfoil hat club.

Ice has already crashed - if you spent anytime mining it prior to the AFK update,you would know that. This level of AFK might as well be the same as macroing

But why would a PvPer ever mine? It'd be a waste of skillpoints when you've already got good skills for exploding people to shoot rocks.

Posting in yet another james 315 alt thread.

James seems to spend more time creating alts than bumping miners now.

This is not a signature.

It is nice to see so many pilots that have morning wood for James, But this isn't his alt. Go to one of the other threads and dry hump his leg for a while. Fanbois acting like fanbois.

This is one of the most insulting things that I've ever been called. I have to inform you that you are no longer on my christmas card list.

Guess you're not much of a miner and industrialist if you can't see how the positives of the barge changes out-weigh the negatives.
