Hi,

Could you please allow the Rorqual to have the ability to haul minerals also? not just ore?

In NULL, using the Rorq for compression is all good and fancy, but you need to move the ore to a refining station, and sometimes that means jumping the Rorq over (especially if your corp mines several million m3 every few days). Once refined, you can only squeeze in about 112k m3 (cargohold) + 30k m3 (fleet hangar), and the rest (ore hold at 250k m3) goes unused on the trip back.

With the modification you made to give us way more trit, it is now a pain in the rear to move large quantities of trit.. as well as pyerite, but that's besides the point.

All i'm asking is if you can make the ore hold on the Rorqual an Ore/Mineral Hold? MInor modification that will resolve alot of logistics issues in Null... As it stands now, the amount i refine per week (and sometimes per day) requires several trips in a JF as well as a rorqual just to stay on top of it. This would really make the Rorq so much more useful... and NO, using a regular freighter even with escorts is generally a bad idea.

Thanks

Try using a JF to move your minerals

I don't see any problem with this request. I never understood why the "ore" hold could only hold ore rather than refined material as well.

Yea especially with how null sec stations work already this would be a plus. Since you don't build in the station you refine in

+1 but Rorqual needs a much much bigger rebalance.

Adding a ship to haul refined ice materials would also be nice.

Why can the Kryos only hold minerals but not isotopes when the Miasmos can hold ore and ice?

Yes, I can build that.
