Marauders in higher clas wormholes are ****** as wel. No refitting and needing to fit even more tank becaus of the lack of boosts is making the marauder usles in my opinion.

Marauders have the tank advantage over other ships, thats wy its fun to drop them on to a (small) fleet. Links are wat make and break this. Not having links wil result in less solo marauder pvp. Thats a shame.

Pleas make the links ongrit, not close range. I do agree that an unscannable claymore aint fair. Thats wy i have a maxed out unscannable claymore alt.

Mining stuff:

Remove boosts from the rorqual completly, nobody needs this gameplay, where this giant sits next to barges doing again nothing except running a booster and sometimes pressing "F" to assign drones to a new target.

Instead make the boosts a system upgrade/structure if you please, god you could make it something deployable so even the highsecguys are happy. -> so dependant on the sec-status (high, low, null) the structure/deployable gives different % values.

I know, that in high-sec this would buff everyone equally in system, not sure what could be done against that for regulation, respectively proper distribution of these "boosts" -> was just a first idea

Changes for the rorqual: the new mining drones and something like a capital mining laser.

This would make it a capital vessel for mining, risk vs reward you bring capital you gather ore on a capital level.

for the orca: introduce a miniversion of the superdefense weapon, give it strip miner -> you can miner with more squishy stuff in highsec and eventually survive suicide ganks, but the orca does mine less than the barges.
if you dont want the orca you use another barge, means more ore, but less "oh **** button"

and please for the sake of sense, just remove this flippin 5 minutes siege core crap, that nobody needs these days.

I agree and understand, that ships should be actually on grid to do stuff, but mining boosts are no active thing, and the so called "changes" for the rorqual don't encourage active gameplay, they just place the thing in the goddamn middle of a belt, basically saying: "come here and hotdrop me"

with this you still can introduce your defensive super weapon, rorqual can still encourage/bait fights, but they don't feel like complete garbage, at least I hope so.

I am all open for constructive feedback on this idea

You can fit t1, we did it for at :_) but the point here is that the only difference here is that you only reload ..... if you would still have passive with limited range on grid the only thing more to do would press "reload" and "activate module" again.... so why changing this that hard .... while you buff the super blobb?

i meant SP wise with fitting a T1


again managing range in logi is a big part of it so i imagine it would be the same in these ships so that is what the range adds to command ships. it adds a lot more to the dessi who may have to move around simply to spread boosts while not getting caught in a scram/web or with low trans and at the same time you are trying for an opportunity to mjd someone.

i doubt there will be command dessis for boosts but more caps, supers and Titans!

i made a different point if it was a structure


thats poor reasoning


but you want more yield (boost + rorq laser) with the same risk (rorq in belt)

You have just proved what a great and knowledgable industrialist you are when you think that an additional 100m3 an hour is a large amount.

i know you did.

it's also poor reasoning by ccp saying we want active gameplay with the rorqual, if there is obviously not more active gameplay afterwards. the most important part is to remove the core mechanic. the rest was an idea, to make the rorqual more fun to actually "play" it.

i dont necessarily want more yield, I want the ship to actually do stuff, Capital mining lasers could be that special thing that ships does, but this yeah boosts are now on grid, is not very spectacular to me. Feels to me like a supercarrier with no fighters, but boosts on it?

I mean it's already the Rorqual guy "flying" his space coffin, hopefully getting safed by friends, that's his "fun gamplay" anyway -.-

I just dont get their idea of "active", the rorqual has to be in the belt, I am completly fine with that, but this be afk in the belt instead of the pos, what's this game design? xD

ye you are right, i guess i would just love to see the rorqual doing something different than the boosting.

well mining is completly designed to be afk while doing it, except the hulks, where you shuffle ore around.

To me the rorqual should be something like a dread, you bring it to maybe break big ore or to mine more than normal stuff (in relation to a dread who is a classcannon in regards of damage)

but the current state, it's this stupid thing sitting there, hoping for times where it can finally shine.

-> you need the rorqual for efficiency but again not for fun :/
