welp, CCP, you did it. You ruined the rorq for actual miners. Cant justify the 8 bill in drones plus another 2.7 bil for the ship, not to mention another 2-3 bil for the fit..... This is almost a 50% reduction. You need to seriously adjust the required mats to build excavators because they arent worth the insane price anymore.

You had one job, no jump hictor that can be invul. instead, **** indy. now if you get jammed you just die faster. We are seeing rorqs fie at least a few a day. All you had to do was nerf its offensive capabilities, but instead you make it worthless. I'm disappointed Fozzie, you frequently talk about risk vs reward. With groups like inner hell who hunt rorqs, non stop and considering the rorqs role IS TO BE IN THE BELT, not like a super that sits docked until actual combat, the rorq must sit stationary and helpless, you somehow think this is a fair trade? Now all they have to do is bring a couple fast lock griffins and the rorq has no hope of activating PANIC to give a fleet time to form. Because I guarantee everyone will do this from now on.


SERIOUSLY CCP, WHY DO YOU HATE INDUSTRIALISTS? Just nerf PL and be done with it!

Nerd rage over!

I have a good solution. Decrease the amount of minerals in all ores by 75%. Then you don't have to nerf the rorq anymore!

But really, the whole infinite amounts of high end ores in a single sov system, regardless of its true sec is the problem. We need a more dynamic resource system to be in the right spot. Make people move around, spread out a little more, fight over systems that have more resources...something :D

not 33%, max skills base is 215. its an almost 50% reduction

This is very counter-intuitive. Please make sure you explicitly document this peculiarity. IN BOLD PRINT.
And I dont understand why you can not just automatically check if there are roids nearby upon module activation. Lazy programming?

Mining yield aside, which will be debatable but since its a nerf, we know the reaction

But was there no more elegant way of limiting capabilities while in PANIC than requiring asteroid lock? No concerns about when in travel or when a belt is cleared?

I hate to agree with a Gon, but this.

I still don't think that linking PANIC to an actively locked asteroid makes ANY sense whatsoever (cause mah Rorq Team Six hotdrops) but okay... and nerfing the yield AND changing the anomolies? COME ON FOZZY. You're killing me. It already takes most of forever for me to clear spud even with two rorqs in an anom, but moving rocks farther apart? Baby steps, man, baby steps.

You want me to stop mining? Increase the Security Class of some of our systems. Kill the broken True Sec of Delve, and move it to Vale :)
I would rather hunt Officer capitals then mine anyday, but Vale is ****. And speaking of that, why are Dread Gurista Dreadnaughts dropping junk? Like Male Prostitutes and other random pieces of garbage. Fix that.

Drone costs keep rising yet yield from initial purchase of the drone fall 75%? Come on, whats going to be done about this? No one would put up with buying a super or a titan and then having 75% of the DPS nerfed from it, so why should miners be singled out? There is nothing wrong with the mineral market. Now alliances have the ability, without massive botting rental empires to compete on the same scale as CCP's beloved PL, and here comes the CCP nerf bat (again). Total bunch of BS CCP. You're biased and you know it, there is no other explanation to this.

Thanks for ruining my skill queu and waste my time to sit in a rorqual. YOu make more change more time we waste in learning the skill to use a rorq. I want refund of my sub because i wasted months (money) training something you are nerfing every day. Ans liek some apointed before.

2 hulks 600M
1 Rorq 12B.

Now ,what is the point of mining whit rorqs?

Answer: waste time for learning useless skills.

I would like a refund on the skill queues and books, especially the ice mining drones that are what 5b each????

Fozzy, return your Canadian Citizenship now.

PANIC is a thing to compensate for static position when core is active. Which is not active when you travel. And let's be honest, Rorq is much more capable of defending itself than a FAX or even a Dread.
As for the cleared belt - leave mercoxit and clear it up with barges. It can be managed right.

As for the yields, I dont think this is the final nerf.
There will be more, many more of them until CCP realizes that the problem is in the belts themselves.
Granted, they already going to spread them out "a little". But this is not enough. Ore should not be infinite.
