Why add an ability? Ships have had the ability to weigh anchor since time out of mind. Add a low slot module that works the same as mechanic anchoring a GSC. Means like most things in the game the pilot is now faced with fitting choice; in this case balancing yield, tank or the ability to anchor. Plus like hardeners or sensors boosts, provides the option of a counter. All things well within existing game mantra.


Well whenever miners are mining within anchoring distance of a rocky sea floor, then I agree with you they should be able to.

We call them ships, we anchor cans, shall I throw you a buoy?

No I'm not allowed those since the restrai- oh one of those, sure OK

But don't try and argue for game balance changes by using inapplicable real-life analogies.

Your gonna have to let go of this idea... of adding a module or anything to the game.

its NOT gonna happen, that would unbalance things WAY too much. in favor of mining (which I do quite a bit of myself) and well... just... no. sorry kid, ya see, if you make it any easier, or profitable, then people will flock with alts to asteroid fields, and pretty soon... all the fields would be empty before noon.

think about it a bit more...

"3. Add an ability for Mining Barges and Exhumers to go into siege mode, adding +50% defences and making the mining ship immobile for 5 minutes, as the vessel diverts all of its engine power into shields and gyrostabilizers."

They have this, its called Orbit at 2500 meters and don't AFK mine. I'm not kidding your ship will automatically orbit the rock, and always return to that orbit Until you mine that rock to extinction. They can bump you till the cows return from Uttindar IV.

Minus the free shields of course.

I would prefer to be able to deploy sentry guns/ECM turrets in the ice belt or ore site.
Must have good standing with faction who owns the system.

That gives the PVPer's something else to shoot at.

Good job trying to push back against the bumping method of interaction

sounds like a great idea, I love to see concord jump in on miners who take hostile action.

How about not sitting in one place and orbiting a nearby roid. May not help much, but may help a bit, and if you get bumped, your ship will travel back into its orbit and you can continue to mine..... Why is orbiting to so difficult to do?

Every time I see a venture sitting still, I'll give them a bump & tell them to ALWAYS orbit. I'm pretty sure I've saved a few miners down the road with this lesson. Simple skills save hulls.Cool

I was hunting for sick loot, but all I could get my hands on were 50 corpses[:|]..............[:=d]
