*** Just a thought I had from reading a few other post, making some of my own, and waiting on CCP ***

Hello Capsular

Apyson Meminave here from ORD - Outer Ring Development

We know that the last couple of years have been crazy with development of our mining barges and their exhumer counterparts.
We've also made tweaks to many of our current ships systems and are still looking into ways to improve your experience each day with our awesome industrial ships.

Over the next few months we will be polishing off a number of new ships to add to your collection.

The first of many ships is the "Crab" (Uses the ORE Industrial skill)
It will take many of the features we have in the Noctis and place them in a smaller frigate sized haul.

Slots: 4H 2M 2L
Drone Bay: 25m3
Bandwidth: 25mhz
Cargo Hold: 1000m3

-Role-
Automated script that allows tractor beams and salvage lasers equipped to the ship to automatically do their job, once activated.
Bonuses to tractor beam length, speed, and salvage times.

Some people might be screaming and throwing things about in their captains quarters right now. Automated scripts, they will say are overpowered. I say hello to Mr. Mobile Tractor Unit.

We will be refitting all the current and future noctis ships with the new system to all their owners free of charge.

Now for our happy rock chewing friends. We are proud to ORE Extractors. When we say think big, we mean think big.

The first of the two new ships is the Khrakun

Slots: 8H 4M 2L
Drone Bay: 25m3
Bandwidth: 25mhz
Cargo: 250 m3 (mostly for mining crystals)
Ore Hold: 150,000 m3

The Khrakun is by far one of my most treasured works. We think we have truly out done ourselves in a ship capable to stripping entire systems of their ore.

Role
+500% increase to mining laser yield
+100% increase to mining yield per level of ORE Extractors.
-90% mining laser range


**This ship is would run about 2 to 3 times the cost of a hulk (500 to 750 mil isk). Have the starting yield rate of 1.5 hulks, and max out at about the yield rate of 4 - 5 hulks. Have nearly the same tank as a hulk. Extremely slow. 50-75m/s. WARNING - HIGHLY GANKable. Always bring escort to defend it!

The second ORE Extractor ship is the Dodo.

Slots: 2H 8M 2L
Drone Bay: 300m3
Bandwidth: 250mhz
Cargo: 100m3
Ore Hold: 100000 m3

Role
+4 Mining drones per level of ORE Extractos (Max of 25 mining drones)
+100% mining yield for mining drones per level
+50% increase to mining drone max velocity per level

**Better mining drone script. Would work like the salvage drone script when you have no target.

>>> Reworks for Noctics, Orca, Rorqual.

For the Dodo, see items 1, 3, and 4 of the post I made yesterday

ORD is just some crazy Korean corp living in Outer Ring. I think you meant ORED: Outer Ring Excavations Development.

Which would rhyme with "bored". And you would have to be really bored to come up with this idea, OP. Or you just have to much time on your hands.

But nice satire, anyway.
