Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

So let me understand this correctly. People injected characters, invested between 11 to 13 billion for a proper fit Rorqual with Excavator drones and haven't even recouped any sort of investment and you are reducing the mining yield by 32%? Incursions don't make hardly any isk. Mission LP is heavily saturated. I mean sure go ahead and nerf players abilities to make (finally) decent isk per hour. If the argument is risk you only need to look towards the heavy risk of having Excavators killed or the Rorqual killed itself.

Perhaps a more modest reduction like 15 to 20% is fine? That way you won't have people ripping the SP out of their alts and selling Rorquals en masse which is already taking place.

doesnt matter much due to the risk factor vs carrier ratting with this update they will kill rorqual mining quite well

can't say i agree with this change to reduce the mining yeld, transportation time is not taken into account. i will agree the rorqual is only 1 ship and that there are others.

i do not agree that the economy is in a good state. i feel that eve is suffering from an inflation problem.

the income in this game has either remained static or reduced over the past 6 years meanwhile inflation seems to have increased.

CCP is intent on getting new players into the game (that's good btw) but those new players won't stay long when they realise it will take them a week to be able to get a cruiser, a thorax was 6m when i started that's now almost doubled.

i was hoping that this was the first step to be able to drop the market prices to enable cheaper ships for newer players/alpha clones.

as for the combat abilities of the rorqual, yes in my hands a PVPier it is a very powerful ship.

capable of long range jumps with minimal fatigue, its dps is less than a carrier and yes as everyone has pointed out it cannot be killed by every titan in eve for 7 mins . i think it should be powerful it's there to provide support to a mining op and protect numerous ships. the panic module cannot be refitted in space, once its used that's it.

its ability to use ewar and neuts in panic should be tweaked.

well that's what i think if anything will change i don't know.

Know what's going to drop the price even more? When a bunch of folks stop using them because why the **** would they?

ive seen a rorq tank 15 blops and then panic when supers came in. He was solo so he died quietly and lost everything after we sat there for 5 mins waiting for him to come out. like unironically if he had a scram fit and punched a cyno for 4-5 dreads those supes/blops would have eaten ****. but no. you insist you are a helpless little miner in a belt just trying to make a living, but I dont buy it.

If they wanna nerf it, then nerf it.. But not 32% - That's not a nerf.. It's breaking it. Completely.

Hehe, already sold 75% of my stockpile. I will have to build it back up once the price crashes again.

Perhaps you can expand on this, citing various elements from the monthly economic report.

It was broken in the first place. Just to the users advantage. They are re-breaking it.

i think we all agree with the drop rate increase in materials..

But a 32% nerf is EXTREME... these drops are over a billion isk each right now + the ship and the fact it has to be stuck in place

i can understand a small 5-10% nerf but a 32% nerf is crazy... you have to balance in baby steps, nerf it 5-10% and revisit it in a month or 2...

You really need to justify this number, because i think most people are happy with the yield its getting right now, it should be super strong, it finally got people to use the damn ship for pretty much the first time since it was put into the game!
