Ok I primarily pvp. Although I have two secondary accounts and both have Max mining skills, I love mining. What changes are coming that CCP has confirmed? Are we going to be able to mine moons via ships or only personal citadel?

Also why *snip* - Naughty word -- ISD Supogo did CCP spend time and money on a mining frigate or even that prospect...no one uses them really except maybe a few noobs...
Will CCP even bring in new mining ships or something so my training can continue to improve mining wise? As opposed to me training for other random things (although I am getting into a JF now so not a waste of skill training). But I want to continue to bring in more ore Ect.
I know this has implications to further flood a market but with cap and citadels...more ore is going to be essential. I think that patch will bring more ships destroyed tons of isk lost and a ton of players 1)coming back and 2) people resubbing cap accounts.

So in all I have scanned the forums does ccp plan to do much more with mining? Or is it exactly where they want it to be?

Ninja mining is a hell of a lot more fun not to mention interactive than sucking rocks in highsec.

Lol ninja mining 2 mil of ore is funny. I pull in 100mil an hour in null without boosts

That being said I am not bragging just pointing out how inefficient it is

I said fun, I said nothing about efficiency.

How's your exhumer at mining gas?

Doesnt this mean you are primarily a miner if you have 1 pvp account, and 2 maxed out mining accounts?

CCP gives you the Venture with a stab bonus so you can get into mining faster and shake off a scram...
CCP gives you the Prospect with a Covert cloak and Gas mining/ore yield bonus so you ninja high ISK stuff faster...
CCP gives you the Endurance with a Ice bonus and new frig sized Ice miners and a cloak so you can get tasty ices faster...

But yeah... when will CCP be bringing you new mining ships so you can continue to improve mining-wise?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Yeah that ship that uses a Covert Ops cloak is totally for brand new characters under a month old.

Lol IM sorry. I forgot that you are primarily a miner, therefore there is a higher than normal level of entitlement i forgot to compensate for when giving you a well reasoned list of newer features, some of them literally implemented a few days ago, that were directed entirely towards the mining community. If you believe that the Endurance and the Prospect are useless, then you are not using them for their intended purpose, which is ninja mining high ISK materials in hostile space. If you are looking for a major buff to nullsec low risk pocket mining / highsec AFK mining, then i believe that you may have to wait until the Rorqual/orca rebalance is done.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Lol yes.... Go look at training time. Less than 9 comprehensive days to use it. I have a month of bomber toon.

And I don't want a buff! The reason I posted is CCP is obviously making mining changes at the frigate level do then intend to do that at the exhumer(battle cruiser) level

Also "stealing" high Isk materials....you must not understand null sec mining. The field resets itself 15 minutes after it is depleted... And a frigate can't hold enough for anyone to even be bothered to care. Can they hold more tuna 5k m3? The ore is so heavy they may take 2 mil so it may be thrilling but in null we don't give a ****. And I have never ever seen one flown for that reSon.

Also I will concede for gas mining it may be effective.

EDIT : dammit too late

Mercoxit is only in wormhole or nullsec, a Prospect is VERY good at mining the little amount of morphite I need to build a few T2 cruisers, just sayin.

lol ok have fun in your frigates. I was just posting to see if there were some changes down the pipe. and no ninja miners don't ******* exist in deep null sec or even in places like querious. Even if they did....5k m3 down the drain omg. I was curious mainly to see if there were major changes coming so I can see if I need to train several prereq's to prep to fly a different/bigger or different type of exhumer. I.E. Exhumer for gas mining or moon mining.

The only coming change I heard is about the Rorqual, nothing else except a industrial kind of citadel, but that will be for a long time ahead.

Rorqual was announced late october, and the only changes announced were the general changes that happens to capitals, regarding bays and fitting.

Role wise changes have not yet been announced but 2 months ago it was soon,

So i presume very soon is where we are at now Cool

The prospect is literally the only thing I mine in anymore. I easily get over 100 mil per hour.

This man needs a big ship.

The real question is what he needs to compensate! :D

You can sit in a faction battleship hull in less than a week, does that make them newbie ships too?

Also, FYI the Prospect holds 10k m3, not 5.
