EVE General Discussion

Just wanted to make a quick thread regarding the new Endurance mining frigate

Specifically the following role bonus:
300% bonus to Ore Mining yield


After testing and experimenting. I do not believe this role bonus is being applied

Can someone else test independantly for me, to confirm my conclusions please?
Would be greatly appreciated

Basically, like mining itself

You can laugh but that is how the 400k SP for new characters pretty much works.

No problem at all


flying a prospect (with all level 5 skills, including expedition frigates), I can touch at around 3,200 M3(ish) with 2 modulated deep core mining lasers (+ crystals attatched)


now with the endurance.. and its 300% bonus to ore yield.. i'm only touching on around 1600m3 per cycle with a single mining laser (+ crystals attatched) [note: you can only fit 1 mining laser to this varient]



Now am i mistaken in my understanding of the role bonus?
I'm understand it as the following:
If you have 'x m3' as your yield, but the role of the ship is '100% bonus' should be 2x m3? (basically double)

Therefore, using this model, shouldnt the m3 of the single mining laser be 4x larger due to +300% bonus?

you're right it is an ice mining ship.. but maybe you should check your exploration, before you post and look at the role bonus's yourself .........


Here i did it for you because some people are just lazy..

I derped, my bad.

Not yet.. I will be soon (sidenote: would be lovely to have a SMALL ice harvesting rig, instead of just a medium one.. CCPlease)


@Chainsaw Plankton

These are the fittings + stats for my ships:

Prospect:

(note that this is only ONE laser, so 3040m3 for both of them (I got 3200 from fleet boosts I believe))

Endurance:

(Note that the endurance has 300% bonus, and Prospect has 100% bonus, and one laser from the prospect gives 1520m3)


There is only a difference of 152m3 per cycle between 100% and 300% bonus
The other difference between Prospect and Endurance is the 25%* bonus to the mining via Expedition Frigates skill on the Prospect
(*25% bonus at level V)

That is the basis of my argument, whether or not the role bonus on the Endurance is actually being applied

Hope my screens help

Made me lol

It's true!!
it mines ice great!
But I personally like to fit things which are not usually thought of by the developers and test them out

The ship is fit for the job I wish it to do....

CCP stated in the endurance thread they will not make an small ice/mining rig.

I was searching the forums for this exact topic because I was coming to a similar conclusion.

Based on the Endurance's listed bonuses, an Endurance with its one laser should yield the exact same amount as a Venture with two lasers. However, the yield I'm seeing from my Endurance is only matching a role bonus of 200% to ore mining, instead of the listed 300%. This results in only 75% of what a Venture yields.

FYI, my calculations are matching in-game yields exactly for both the Venture and Prospect.

I'm building some ice mining lasers as I type and will rerun the yield calcs for the ice to see if that role bonus is applied properly.
