And maybe you should put some effort into your own protection instead of having a +2 warp strength added on to your ship... that's just OP and should be reserved for blockade runners. Putting it on a small mining frigate? There's no point in having that.

Also, I, personally, am not about to risk a PvP fit for low/null/WH space by having to put 2 points on my amarr ships, when they only come with 3-4 mid slots in the first place. This would just be bad form... If you want the protection from warp scrambling so bad, man up and use a stab.


Amazing how you manage to whine AND demand miners to HTFU both in one post.

By the same token this is not Counterstrike.


Thank you for not contributing. Your lack of contribution and subsequent show of lack of intelligence is appreciated.

I'm no expert on miner ganking, but if you have to scram a frigate instead of just one-shotting it I think you might be doing something wrong.


Have you never speed tanked? Or have you never noticed your sig radius affecting how much damage a cruiser class set of guns can do on a frig? A frig can easily warp off before you 1-shot it if you fit for dps instead of alpha, and have a reasonable radial velocity from the other ship. It just doesn't work this way unless you get a t1 frig heading straight at you.

Actually, I don't know about WoW, (Can't imagine they'd put in that much detail; might scare away their fanbase), but AoC has pickaxes.


I don't know what AoC is, but WoW had pickaxes, I think? Either that or Aion. It's a moot point either way.

How many high slots does the frig have again?

Best guess from previous illustrations (confirmed here) and the indicated utility high slot would be four with three turret points (for mounting mining lasers or gas miners).

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

More mining ships, kinda meh on that idea to be honest. Time to get EVE out of the mining business. Would be very cool to get a new ship or ship class specialized for bumping miners though Smile
Isn't this getting stale now?

Bumping miners takes a minute to learn, but a lifetime to master. It won't become stale if I live to be a hundred! Smile

Fly artyThrashers, don't give any fscks.

When you pop it before it warps, you don't need to worry about warp strengh.


Well yeah, but it's kind of a moot point for most people unless you're trying to pop them in high sec before concord comes if you're using a group of thrashers with artillery. Anywhere else, though, this will be a rare thing, and you won't often see a fleet of arty thrashers (except from maybe goon swarm) for the sole purpose of hunting down and killing single gas mining frigs... especially in WH's or null.

Fine. It's not OP. I want +2 warp strength on my zealot, plz.

Or how about my anathema? It could use that also, considering I really don't like the inconvenience of having to use cloak-mwd tricks to get past gate camps.

Or even on my retribution. Why not? +2 warp strength is obviously not OP...

A Punisher lacks a speed bonuses. A Punisher rightfully lacks that bonus. Because its lack is rightful, the bonus itself is OP and no ship should have it.

Gas mining frigs with +2 warp strength will kill EVE and make it a carebear heaven. Just saying.

Sounds like it'd be good for newbie jetcan mining, lowsec ninja mining and WH ninja gas harvesting (in which case the +2 warp strength is worthless)
since lolsec ore sucks that at least gives it two purposes

(stroking chin), humm, seems that if it needs +2 warp bonus it must have lousy get up and gtfo speed, so won't handle like a typical frig. but atleast its a start CCCP.
