The idea for this ship is a t3 Mining barge. The ship would have subsystems
like the Strategic Cruiser, but would be a bit more flexible in what you can
fit in them.

There would be one "Fitting" subsystem slot, and three "Strategic" subsystem slots.

The Fitting subsystem would determine what kind of mining module you could you, for
example: strip miners, ice miners, deep core miners, gas harvesters, or mining foreman links.
Also they would provide bonuses for said mining types.

The Strategic subsystems would provide bonuses various things, such as: cargo holds,
reducing mining times, boosting mining output, cloaking, armor, turntime reduction,
warp stabilizing, and what ever else CCP can come up with.

What do you guys think? Big smile

I'd probably throw a fit if certain things were put in or forgotten, but the idea of an industrial T3 is intriguing to say the least.

I think this is a very very redundant topic...

How so? Well, it has just been brought up many times before. If you cared to search the forums, you'd see how often T3 "something" is brought up.

Double comment was caused by current internet glitch of mine.

Thats fine. Just an idea I wanted to share.

I think it'd obsolete existing ships or be redundant in itself

Cloaky miner? Prospect
Cloaky hauler? Blockade runner
Miner with capacity? Mack
Tanky miner? Skiff
Tanky hauler? Dst

And so on...

(before you mention Cloaky-interdiction nullified anything, no. Just no)

I think sometimes people report ant topic they see that has T3 in the title on principle sometimes as redundant.
I agree that some of these ideas have been seen before but I think there could be more constructive discussion here.

A Mining Barge is already larger than a cruiser, so taking T3 cruiser Type modules is redundant, T3 Destroyers have modes.
What new mechanic for a larger ship do you suggest?

Not really sure what it achieves...

T3 subs offer a huge amount of customisation from being a links boat, ewar, dps, cov ops...

Whilst all this would do is change a ship from mining...to a different mining.

Just swap the high slot modules and you did the same thing.

but what would I know, I'm just a salvager
