Capital Industrial Ships bonuses (per skill level):

5% reduction in fuel consumption for Industrial Core <--Used
10% bonus to Mining Foreman Links effectiveness when using Industrial Core <---Used
50% bonus to Capital Remote Shield Booster range <--Unused
20% bonus to Drone hitpoints and damage <-- Unused

Role Bonus:

900% bonus to Survey Scanner range <-- Unused and stupid
200% bonus to Cargo Scanners range<-- Unused and even more stupid unless you are planing to gank in Jita with Rorqual
• Can fit Industrial Core
• Can fit Clone Vat Bay
• Can use 3 Warfare Link modules simultaneously <--- This 3 are used

If CCP makes POS Mining boost modules they can remove Rorqual from eve, it is THE most unused ship in eve, not to mention wasted skill time for skills that will never be in use. It is shame that you see super caps on grid in fights and you cant see Rorqual even in belt.

Few ideas:
Let T3 ships can be stored in maintenance bay so mining fleet can defend themself in case of hotdrops
Mining boost more efective on grid than from POS
Rorqual to be builded in hisec but stuck there or jump into losec/0.0, so once you build it, you can use it there or cyno in losec and move as todays Rorq.
New mining + siege bonuses with mining foreman mindlink ORE edition, to boost mining and siege
To be alowed in hisec but not to dock, so you must keep it at POS or have babysitting alt

These are only some ideas, please guys post them more,

Rorqual is way too strong for hi-sec.

When was the last time you saw a rorqual actually sitting in a belt, because survey scanners only work when sitting inside the belt and the same for cargo scanners, having that thing sitting in a belt unaligned or even worse, in siege, is asking for someone to come and rip it apart :P

Rorqual needs to keep the Industry core, and have an incentive to bring it on-grid with the asteroid belt.

Also, this thread is about to go places.

Places where no thread has gone before.

To explore strange new subforums.

To seek out new threads and Tippia posts.



To boldly go, where no thread has gone before.

I've not yet been boosted by a Rorq, and I've always assumed it's the next step up from an Orca.. but after doing some reading about the ship, it does seem like a big risk taking the ship out with the rest of the mining fleet.

That said, would OP's suggestion of having T3 ship storage and more effective links on grid be enough to bring a Rorq on grid? I would think not..

I use it daily. Just needs some love from ccp

Prolly gonna be moved but posting anyway.

The rorq would be good for a few new things, but one of which would require a massive change.

I think the rorq should either 1) be a mobile reactor unit. So instead of compressing ore, it will react gas, small batches, but that would give it a reason to sit somewhere and maybe be ganked.

2) It should become the capitol mining ship lots of people want. It will mine way slower then the barges, but can pull in a big chuck of stuff.

or 3) and this would need a massive change, as ring mining doesntl seem to be coming, remove moon harvesting arrays from pos' and make it so the rorq has to manually mine the moon goo.

Just some ideas

Can't they use the jump clone service people that let you use their corp standings... for free

"Do you know what you are, capsuleer?"
"Not dumb enough to fly this ship?"
