New Resource Gathering Hull

Hi,

My idea is to introduce into the new eden universe a resource gathering battleship sized hull.

This new ship will be bigger than a battlecruiser and smaller then a capital ship.

The ship can fit a specific high slot module (1 or more) to allow mobile resource gathering on a new level.

It will not be like a mining Rokh / Domi, but it will be as mobile as a battleship and can be fitted as one.


The new resource gathering high slot modules for this new line of battleship sized hulls will be a continuation of Rubicon.

It will allow for quick and fast gathering of materials, like moon minerals, asteroid ore, gas, and future ghost site resources.

The new module allows for fast retrieval but fitting it will decrease cargo space, you will have to fit a specific module per resource.


It might also allow the option to gather resources from planetary rings, to facilitate in the construction of player made stargates.

This concludes my proposal.

Eve online is :

A) mining simulator B) glorified chatroom C) spreadsheets online

D) CCP Games Pay to Win at skill leveling, with instant gratification

not a bad concept, the game's industry will need to be re factored in order to properly support the idea but i can see a good use in using these BS sized hulls to transport gate components - though a ship for just one purpose would be a bit silly.. (read primae)
- worth a few more thoughts

What does it make different from mining barges in the part of gathering gas, ice and minerals?
And what would this "new level" of mobile resource gathering look like?

This seems a bit unclear to me.

Don't get me wrong. More tools are basically a good thing. But replacing a screwdriver by a drilling machine with multiple options to attach to it to do the same thing as with the screwdriver but faster seems not realy innovative to me.

I'm still waiting for that T2 Venture gas harvesting hull CCP completely forgot about...

So no, you can't have nice things, because the nice things CCP already promised industrialists haven't been implemented yet.

How about mine gas, like at all? We don't have a gas harvesting ship besides the venture, which dosen't even use the 5-turrets given by the gas harvesting skill.

And no, barges can't harvest gas at all, in case you hadn't noticed.
