Your still not going to see it used on grid except in rare occasions.

I would use it... and rare is better than not at all.

I think rorqual and orcas should be able to make buy orders for ore that fleet members could sell to.

I decided I don't like a constantly evolving game anymore..... It requires too much reading!

It is hardly useless, it gives massive bonuses. The last thing we need in eve is a bigger class of mining ships to further dump down the price of ore, and see anyone currently in exhumers making less than the small amount they already do. As for giving it production facilities, it wouldnt take long at all before there were far more cruisers and frigates available in supplies beyond anyone intended to use, by miners trying to get more out of their rorq. It wouldnt make the rorq any more useful, it would just force producers to use one to build those ship classes, to be competitive.

However, there are already a bunch of rorqual discussion threads, including the one ccp was monitoring not long ago.

Rorquals and Orcas are only useful to people with multiple accounts who multibox. Wants boosts if you cant benefit from them? All this would do is make mining a little more bearable and not make you have to run back and forth to station every 10 minutes.

Secondly exhumers are not worth the isk risk vs. reward value. Their bonus is extremely low paired with the big jump in price over a mining barge. They need to be revisited as well.

Thing is... No one in their right mind wold park a Roqual in a belt and lock it in place.. You might as well set your self on fire..

CCP stated that it needed alot more hp.. well no matter how maney hp it gets.. if it gets hotdropped.. it will die. Im shure they have a plan. but as it is. i dont think anyone will ever use it outside pos shields.



If you could siege for 30 minutes in a belt and when you're done, the entire belt is gone and compressed in your belly, then it would be worth it. I would deploy fleets of them with carrier and dread support.

Boosts need to be made on-grid only, and it needs to happen yesterday. Or a few years ago, infact.

Fix that, then look at fixing the Rorqual, IMO.
