EVE General Discussion

Welcome to Alts Online.

Let's make that game-breaking ship that floods the market with minerals, even safer to use! What a great idea!

I say fix because they nerfed it

I'm not going to join goonswarm so I can park my rorq in a colossal cluster, if only goons can use rorqs why have them?

why not delete the ships then?

I disagree, the rorq is a indy cap ship, which somehow got mixed into combat pvp like meta's due to its various fittings which made it an OP COMBAT CAP SHIP!.. ccp seems to not understand how the demand of minerals works and the use of rorqs for their intended primary use.. which is to boost miner's and also mine abit. this change to her has effected various regions where pilots are no longer able to use this expensive ship which in turn causes imbalances across certain regions.. and yes he said goons cause it was them fielding up to 30 rorqs and mining safely where as many others are not even able to get 10 mins worth of mining in..

ccp needs to rethink how they screwed up this ship.

Your problem is you live in very unsafe space. If you like null sec, freedom, transparency, no obligations and a corp thats not super big but has specialists in every area, including 2 FC's in 2 timezones, I would be delighted to have you in oir corp!

I won't say its completely safe here, as we lost our first rorq recently (after half a year) to achtung partizanen and Pandemic Legion when they decided to drop supers in one of our systems. But our members who have been part of some of the very big alliances always point out they prefer a little danger over total safety, for reasons of fun)

Check our public channel on the bottom of our corp bio or contact me if youre interested.

I totally get that, however this functionality wound up with the panic button, and fleets, and that is a manipulation of that,

I think CCP // Community does get how much influence the Roaq has on the mineral market, and considering that goons represent the bulk of the incoming mineral volume into Jita from Delve, i get the comparison.

That said, the modifications of lowering yields to regulate the flow of minerals was designed to keep the market stable, and not eliminate the lower volumes provided by high sec miners,

like anything the Roaq has many options, however it is designed to be a vessel for mining operations for large corporations and/or alliance mining ops.

i'm not sure how you propose that be fixed from it's current configuration, with out causing a problem in the market place.

-Can't make it more tanky, because that just creates a problem where it is a stronger combat vessel.
-Remove // Nerf Panic button - PVP'ers rejoice, there was a change that affected the panic button but the exact nature of it eludes me at the momemt.
-boost yields, no thanks market is bad enough
-reduce yeilds ? i think it's pretty good right now, solo mining in a roaq is pretty good

remove the risk from flying it in unsafe space - no thanks not ever.

I think the fact that goons can field 30 Roaqs and mine safely, is testament to the security they provide their mining fleets, don't confuse this with i'm pro goon cause i'm not, I'm not anything goon for or against, they are just an element of the game.

let's rmember that the roaq as a capital ship was never designed to be a solo vessel, it just so happens there is so much isk floating around that we can do that.

if you undock a roaq and go mine, in an area that is high risk and not have the protection you need for when the nasties come to play that is not CCP's fault at creating a ship that can't handle that, it's the pilots.

We don't complain about Orca's getting ganked in high // low sec that the orca is not safe enough you know why....
it's supposed to happen, the mechanics of the game allow it.

Battle Roaq is fine, Mining Thanny is fine, both are stupid IMHO however EVE allows for such things, not like they are exploting anything.

if you want to disassemble your Roaq and bring it to a wh, look us up. Again i don't know why you would but we seem to like risky behaviour.

You just need better security. Providence is targeted for disruption by many very skilled groups of destroyers. You have to be a better gatherer than they are destroyers, in some sense. They organize and gang up on you. Well, organize and gang up on them. Trap them. Trick them. Deceive them. Tire them. Bore them. Make their ships explode and laugh in their face when THEY fail . . . and when YOU fail. Make them not have fun when they try to use you as target practice. Right now you're just crying "uncle".

They don't want you or Providence to succeed. Resist or die.

Bump for all the rorqs out there that stay docked 24/7

Even compression is obsolete with citadels

Those poor rorqs
