Hi,

I was thinking about some more industry ships and their roles.
And some more assets.

Here are my ideas.

--- Ships ---
Role: Swarm Miner
Capital Ship or BS
Gives Bonus to mining drones
Has more bandwidth (Can have more drones active)
Has big drone hangar

Role: Drone Argumentor
Cruiser Size
Give bonus to all mining, salvage drones in fleet.

Role: Mothership
Capital Ship
Give bonus to mining flyers (similar to figher but industry)

--- Assets ---

Role: Mining Robo Plant
Can be put on asteroids.
It claims the asteroid for the person and drains ore.
It is like a little station around the roid. And the roid is removed if it is empty.
The cargo room can maybe accessed from everyone. (Need some more ideas here).


--- Skills ---

Mining Flyers - Like Fighter Skill but an industry variant; More cargo room to mine ore before it returns to mothership.

Whats wrong with today, that's like redundant post # xx. Everybody drunk or heat-stroked ?

BS suggestion: welcome to the Orca, T2 Orca discussion
Cruiser suggestion: We got 6 Barges/Exhumer (drone suggestion relates to T2 Orca concepts)
Capital suggestion: Rorqual and related discussions.

My big question is why? I find if you explain that, you will get less fire in your thread as I experienced with my Mining Battleship/Poor Man's Foreman Ship

CODE is just a bunch of pirates; smart, organized pirates. It doesn't help to rage at them because that is exactly what they want. Dust yourself off and get back on your feet, you don't even have to talk to them.

There is a problem with the Ore ship path, which is partly a mining mechanics issue too.

Frigate Size miner. Nimble and low yeild
T2 Frigate with Cloak
Cruiser size with Tank
Cruiser size with Yield (and Range?)
Cruiser Size with hold
T2 Cruisers with increased stats


What would you do for a battleship type miner. It would make the exhumers obsolete. It would have to have like a +100% align time vs exhumers and more yield, a fair hold, and a decent tank (less than a skiff may be).

Honestly, I would remove the skiff and it's T1 version and make it the Battleship:
remove the mining laser boost and add more harvesters + Highs
minor HP boost
make it a battleship class
Give it a mining drone boost (higher yield than a hulk in the end, but it is 50% in mining drones as a penalty - drones do not get mining link bonuses)
Increase it's align time by a lot.

I think a better idea would be to envoke a mining carrier. 4 exhumers in high drones and the like. Do not allow damage mods other than fighters.

Why? Once you reach rorqual status you sit and boost and crush ore. Hardly worth while. Orca- can't fit exhumers. So give orca's exhumers or something that can make our time in the belt great, without having to buy 3-4 characters.

"But RAIN CCP won't make any money" Oh yes they will. Multiple exhumer fitted orca's in a belt on multiple characters. Give high sec their balls back.

What?

This doesn't make any sense ...

In my eyes the exhumer, mining barges are (and should be) more focussed on mining with strip miners.

The drone bonuses on skiff/procurer are for self defense purpose.

My idea are some ships that give drone mining more love.
