Holy crap...you aren't kidding! I just tossed an Orca in PyFa to compare it to a 3 MLU Skiff with both Strips and Crystals at T2...all the Orca needs is a couple T2 rigs to get Mining Drone II's to match the yield. The Orca's basically now an Exhumer with a **** load of cargo space and way bigger tank.

"Tomahawks?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Easier to "defang" though. Also, for the guy posting before you, yes, belt rats DO engage mining drones.

They really dont. Been mining in an orca for weeks. I don't even bother killing the belt rats. They dont shoot mining drones.

True, but if I want to mess with a miner, it's not the drones I'd be shooting at. I'm just surprised they really haven't jumped in price considering. I would be even more so if CCP doesn't eventually come around to nerf their drone yield rate.
