This is an issue I expect to mostly affect very new players so I'm bringing it up here, if this suits elsewhere the mods can feel free to move it...

The frigate descriptions post patch are misleading, none of them have any bonuses to mining yet some still contain a description pointing new miners towards them.

For example the Atron:

Quote:
Although it is a good harvester when it comes to mining, its main ability is as a combat vessel.


This is a very minor thing.. and unlikely to affect many people but it just annoys me. Surely it's worth the 5 seconds to re-write the description when providing a major overhaul of the frigates?

The description helps to get potential miners in combat vessels, so they'll see the error of their ways.

Heh. AFAIK the Atron has never had a mining bonus but always had that flavor text. Note it also says the ship is a "hard nugget" when really it's made of wet paper and built for high speed!

Well I was just assuming they were trying to trick people into over tanking them.
