if you dont like my form get out and go troll somewhere else

Not your forum, and my question still stands.

There are 2 reasons I can think of that you'd want higher yield, and the reasoning behind one of them is flawed.

1) You want to make more ISK for your mining hour.

2) You enjoy hauling minerals in freighters, and want to haul more.

The problem with 1) is that the price of low end minerals is a function of what Hisec miners consider to be adequate compensation for their mining time (otherwise they'd do something else, or just not mine), so increasing the maximal yield would simply depress mineral prices further, and mining income would remain roughly the same (I wouldn't mind the cheaper ships though). High ends have a different problem; Drone regions produce significantly more high end minerals per hour than mining does, so increasing yield might increase profit, but there are still better ways to directly acquire minerals.

There's nothing anyone can do to help hisec miners, as I can't really see any market distortion there, but miners of high ends can be helped by stopping the influx of drone poop.

Now if you're reason is 2) then I suggest flying an empty freighter or picking up courier contracts.

If you have a different reason, I would honestly love to be enlightened.

Compared to standard HS fits, there's already plenty of HP boosting available. Clearly it's not important, as nobody bothers to fit for tank.

Saw a dual tanked out as possible with his skill hulk the other day still get vollied to death before concord arrived but meh 0.5 gives the gankers that much more time to kil the tank.

I've seen freighters and JFs get suicide ganked. I've seen armor titans go from half armor to dead before their self destruct could go off (2min). Defense against suicide gank in a mining ship isn't just an EHP thing, it's a "make it cost more to gank me than the guy next to me" thing (along with the obligatory don't make it cost effective to gank you).

hulk is good enough, no need for another mining ship unless its an obelisk that opens up and eats one whole ice rock and returns to base. why do we mine rocks when we could just launch them at a station to haul in to be reprocessed? O_o

while this is just plain stupid. the industry /miner types have been screwed with ships. and im sure a new ship for them is in the works dont be surprized.

Wait Wait. HighSec Carebears Want another ship that they can use in Mining yet when they get constantly ganked they whine and moan. like Little Babys wanting a sippy of milk. Dont think a new mining ship is gonna get you over your tears perhaps give you MOAR!

T3 mining ship is a great idea, although I might be more inclined toward it being a destroyer sized vessel rather than cruiser sized... Would make it inherintly faster, but also have a smaller cargohold; so is suited for mining rapidly in hostile zones.

Give it a 5000m^3 cargohold +/-

Offensive (Ore extraction) subsystems;
-Cloaking and reduction in strip miner cycle time.
-Increased quantity of turret points and reduction in cycle time to potentially fill cargo in 2/3 cycles.
-Increased drone bandwidth and number of drones controlled (up to ten), 5% drone damage/extraction bonus

Defensive subsystems;
-Sheild resistance amps, etc
-Sheild boost amount, etc
-Link processor (5% bonus)

Electronics subsystems;
Scanner/Survey range/strength bonus
Probe launcher strength/tractor beam bonus
EWAR capability (seems viable on a mining vessel for defensive purposes- bonus to jam strength/sensor damp strength?)

Engineering subsystems;
-Usual powergrid, capacitor, etc output subsystems

Propulsion subsystems;
-Warp strength bonus
-Agility bonus
-Warp speed bonus
-Interdiction nullifier


I like the idea of a t3 mining ship as it wont have your typical carebear in it; it will require some knowledge of pvp modules and would encourage mining in low/null/wormholes by the freelance miners.
If there was a t3 mining ship I definantly would look into ninja-mining some big 0.0 alliances stocks.

nope
