Give everyone a holiday ship they can redeem in any station they like, it can warp but can't leave its home system. It looks just like a Revelation dreadnought and has 3 high slots and a mid slot, with 3 mining laser hardpoints and a shield booster hardpoint. (So that's the only things it can fit.) It has 2175m3 cargohold and it's called 'Veldnaught'. So for instance the default name of mine unpackaged would be 'Reaver Glitterstim's Veldnaught'.

That would be very shiney Smile

Perhaps it should be smaller than the original so it can fit the undock tube. Would be even better if it was in ORE colors and perhaps some lore in the description

If they do this we NEED a massive convoy of the things...

You out in front and then A VERITABLE SWARM of veldnaughts following after...

And make Chribba's modified mining laser an actual thing to fit the Veldnaught with.

This thing should have special ship skin - Chribba's Veldspar Edition.Blink

I'd prefer a piece of Chribba's wrecked Charon as a novelty item instead. Smile

I like the idea. And yeah, in honor of Chribba, it would have to be smaller than an actual revelation he uses... in which case, why restrict it to any one system? ;)

Sounds good, though it needs to be able to pack a flight of light drones and fit neuts in the high slots if the pilot so desires.

A 1/3 the size veldnaught that can only mine and follow Chribba around? I'd be down for that :P

YES! and you can only undock in it if Chribba is in the system!

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

A single joke thread doesn't harm a thing... Besides, there are already so many redundant crap posts already... Atleast this one is fun.

Dude....its Friday (well in some parts of the world now).


this means in a few hours time it will be cluttered up with the same crap Fridays threads (same stuff rehashed again and again).

this actually something nice to see here. F & I usually a train wreck of crap starting Friday over the weekend.

I'm actually serious about this, and am pleasantly surprised to see a lot of good ideas and refinements posted here.


Here's another idea: give everyone a mining frigate that looks like a Revelation, only frigate-sized and with overall stats similar to a Venture. It should fit 3 mining lasers, of course, with a larger ore hold but less mining output than the Venture, to be more similar to Chribba's Veldnaught. Actually come to think of it, a Venture outperforms that thing in both categories, unless Chribba has some cargo expanders on it.


I also like the idea of Chribba's Modified Mining Laser:
high slot, 4MW, 80Tf
activation cost: 60GJ
optimal range: 10.00km
duration: 60.00s
mining amount: 15m3
Veldspar mining modifier: 5x

So it'll mine like a civilian miner on most rocks, but on Veldspar or its variants it would mine 75m3 per cycle, or 25% faster than a T2 miner. On a battleship with 8 of these, it's still slower than a mining barge with 3 T2 strips using T2 Veldspar crystals even before factoring in skills. With max skills, a Hulk will mine 54.4% faster than the battleship with 8x Chribba's lasers. So it's not OP, just a little boost to one ore type.

Reaver, if you were serious you would have waited until Monday.

And all I wanted for x-max was a piano for my Fedo, I know he can play.

Gotta get the ideas in early, so the devs have time to make it. I'm thinking it could be a Christmas gift.

What happens on Monday?
