I was under the impression that the table CCP provided were theoretical maximums with everything taken into account including T2 core stats

the guy above me i right ;)

PLUS i get fighter sized mining drones ...

So basically, i am right and you are an A*****e

it doesn't change the fact that this boost will be used by far fewer people due to the risk averse nature of miners

less ore overall, higher prices for the little guy who likely never had these boosts in the first place

I was wrong about boosts being lower after this change yes.

However you're still blind to the fact that sov null miners do not account for as much mining you think it does. Vast majority of minerals that get on the market comes from high sec. Unless you're trying to tell me they haul ore to jita and not sell it locally?

The standard of mining yield currently is that you find some free boosts and go mine with them, this has artificially deflated mineral prices for years because there's just such a vast quantity that demand can't keep up with supply.

For the life of me I don't understand why people wouldn't move to better sources of income, but instead just complain about everything that makes mining difficult like gankers and now this new boosting mechanic.

Now that only dedicated mining ops will be mass harvesting minerals and the rest of the people won't be getting as much, it should in theory raise the ISK/unit of ore up. This won't change the income much for those who just sit in high sec mining alone and relied on neutral boosts previously but for those who have some ambition and drive it could propel them into a new level.

And trust me not even the biggest alliances are safe, if and when rorquals come on grid, you'll be damn sure I'll be hunting them. More explosions more mineral demand, overall healthier economy.

if this is for balance and not technical i would say it would be better if boosts lasted through system changes. I think this would add more to tactics and choices. boosting your fleet and not following them through the gate could leave the booster vulnerable and give your fleet a timer on their engagement if they are relying on the boosts. however i'v really only thought of this in regards to WH can some one come up with a reason this would be unbalanced in other areas of the game?

This is a buff to the small guy now I don't have to worry if everyone I '1v1' is actually 2v1

.... how am I part of a large group. I think the biggest fleet I have been in the past year was 10ppl. As for not wanting ninja mining check my signature. Even if I was in a large group that would not mean I didn't also spend a good deal of my time in Caldari fw and almost always solo

Only times I repeat myself is when I'm responding to the same points.

This isn't really even a nerf when going up against groups of 4-10 either as you can now split members away from their boost. Something you could not do before. The only way this is a nerf is if you really on ogb.

No it wont, all its going to do is cause a lot of people to unsub accounts, rorquals will either possibly be sold en masse there by dropping the price and/or not used anymore, as far as pvp goes I think its a good idea but for mining I don't think its a good idea at all or even well thought out pertaining to mining and the rorqual, to me this change is totally for pvp and not for mining, they are just throwing it in there so pvpers can have more easy targets. To be honest as Ive seen several posts saying the same thing and I agree with it, if this is supposed to be a pvp pew pew game only then get rid of everything else, if I wasn't supposed to do only industry related stuff then get rid of it all and make it so where you can only pvp, then we wont have to worry about so called "carebears" because pretty much 50% or more people in the game would leave/unsub their accounts and you would be left with nothing but pvpers but then again at that point the game would probably not be profitable anymore.

"133% boost?"

Can you run the maths for me on that one?
