You don't know much about highsec mining..

Most belts in highsec have rocks so small your lucky to get 1 full cycle out of them (can't afk when having to change rocks every 1 min 2 seconds), miner bumping is a common thing, you can't afk when bumpers are around or you end up mining nothing at all.



who are you trying to fool there is a guy in my corp who AFK mines in HS with 10 alts

Depending on when and where you mine bumpers can be a complete non-issue.

Sorry but I'm throwing the BS flag. He's not AFK mining because:


You can only target 5 ice/ores at a time.

Once those first 5 ice/rocks are mined, how is he targeting new ice/ores?

How does he start a new cycle with a new piece of ice or ore?

If using mining crystals and one gets replaced, how is he starting a new cycle?

With boosts, I can fill a Procurer in 4 cycles on rocks and 6 cycles on ice. Where is he dumping them once he's full?



There is no way he's AFK mining unless he's using a bot, or ISK Boxer, or some tool to automate all the stuff I've noted above.

That also means you've just let the CCP devs know someone in your corp is botting. Good job!!!

Long live the failure of "Unified Inventory"!

It can be, most nights I don't get bothered by bumpers but that doesn't change the fact you aren't afk mining for other reasons.

No-one who mines highsec belts could honestly say, they do it afk *and* make isk from it, the rocks just aren't big enough.

"The asteroid is depleted", is the most common audio queue. I've just had to restart all my miners in the time it took to write this post (less than 5 minutes) - There is nothing afk about it..

My opinions are mine.

I don't believe the skills are new, the siege ones are being renamed, its just their attributes changing.

But I am wanting to start making plans for TVP for OGB but given that CCP are well CCP we cannot really do anything to serious until we see it on SiSI

Ah, I thought we got a one new burst specialty skill, lets browse back.

The "Command Burst Specialist" is not new?

yes, please do reduce the leadership skills required for getting into a command ship so people can just focus on the warfare they want and not every one. I'd love to just get a claymore/sleipnir, but not willing to have time sucked up by info and armor skills.

with the new bursts putting command ships right in the thick of combat, any plans to give the cyclone/claymore a 6th launcher?

I'm glad they're all excited but I haven't seen anything that makes this other than a complete failure for lack of range if nothing else. Boosts are limited to 15km with a few little bonuses that might get you to a few more km but not much. In belts the rocks are farther apart than 15km just to get from rock to rock. So everyone can sit right on top of each other and mine the same rock. On top of that if you want to mine in another belt and there is only one booster you're screwed. For small mining groups this is pretty much a death nell. Only certain ships can boost and they can only boost you if you're right up next to them basically when you look at the scheme of things. I fly 7AU or more to get to a place where I have to be within 30 or 40km of a mining ship or I get no boosts. The booster gets to hi their boost button every 60 seconds and their directional scanner every 10. Wonder when they have time to mine? I'm hoping for better but I don't see it happening. Why take all the universe and confine your motion to a comparable space of someone's pocket? Makes no sense to me but we'll see.

A few... little... bonuses?

-The base range is 15KM.
-Leadership V supplies a 30% range bonus.
-Wing Command V supplies a 25% range bonus.
-Fleet command V supplies a 20% range bonus.

That's 15 * 1.3 * 1.25 * 1.2 = 29.25 KM. We're not done yet, though.

Orca and Rorqual have a 50% range bonus. 43.875KM.

Industrial core I has a 150% range bonus. T2 has a 200% bonus.

So, over 130KM at the top end.

That issue tend to differ with scale. On the low end with 1-3 miners AFK is somewhat doable. Or more maybe inattentive is the better word. Interesting that single players controlling fleets is the norm in this conversation.

I don't know where youre getting that 130km figure from
I'm getting 56.25/63.75 km is max range with max skills and indy core
Unless its changed I always understood that bonuses only applied to the base not the other bonuses also

Every bonus from a different source (as in, different skills or modules) is applied multiplicatively.

They are not simply applied to the base.

As an example, let's look at a gun.

The base damage multiplier of a Heavy Pulse Laser II is 3.6.

With all Vs, on an unbonused ship, it has a damage mod of 5.6925. You can confirm this for yourself in the fitting tool of your choice.

Factored into this is Medium Energy Turret, providing +5% per level (25% total), Medium Pulse Spec, providing 2% per level (10%), and Surgical Strike, providing 3% per level (15%).

3.6 * 1.25 * 1.1 * 1.15 = 5.6925.

If it worked as you suggested, the value would be 3.6 + 3.6*.25 + 3.6*.1 + 3.6*.15 = 3.6 + .9 + .36 + .54 = 5.4.
