I said this in a different thread already but I'll say it again here: The changes aren't "helping" a whole lot.

Still plenty of morons running around in cargo fit hulks.

There are just more cargo fit macs thrown in the mix now.

You can get a mack to bring in almost as much as a hulk too, with that extra lowslot. Same with the retriever vs the other barges.


Just removing a low slot from the mack/retriver will probably be enough to balance things out.

I multibox like a boss, but I only have one monitor. i cannot run a fleet of hulks efficiently, but i can run a fleet of macks efficiently simply because alt tabbing between clients on my setup doesn't work fast enough for me to get a breather between cycles and i have to time my starts and stops, and god forbid i get jammed by any NPCs it throws my whole system off. macks are just flat out more user friendly for most types of mining/miners...


if u want to multi-box then sacrifice some yield and use the mack. Leave the hulk for active miners in fleets or those who can multi-box better than u.

although i wouldnt mind a switch in EHP between the mack and the hulk, i honestly think it would be better to just double all mining barge/exhumer ore holds. if i could fit two cycles into a hulk, i would use them and be more attentive to my mining when i did it. that would really please the AFK type miners as well.


no. max yield ships get lower tanks, this is appropriate. ore holds are massive enough when a mack can mine for half an hour without having to return to station. just can mine with ur hulk or multi-box with an orca. If you could semi-afk mine and tank with a max yield hulk then things will just go back to everyone using hulks and would completely undo everything CCP just did. big no!

also, nothing in this game should help afk miners. mining afk and/or botting ruins ore and mineral prices, affecting the entire market.

TL:DR
if u want to mine faster and make more money u better get used to the idea of either 1) working harder or 2) taking on risk
