As an avid ice miner the new barge buffs are a real PITA. The skiff now has two mining lasers, but an odd ore hold capacity. Ice is 1K per block and the ore hold capacity is 15K. Please change the ore hold capacity to 14 or 16 from 15.

So? Why are you not using a hauler and cans?

Not an option with can thieves around. I have to drop in station for every load hence the pain in the butt of the odd numbered hold.

Why change it if you're OK with 14? EvE is supposed to be difficult, surely you can overcome your desire to have a full hold.

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

Mining already requires a ton of micro managing. This increases that. So without canning my options are to watch and kill it when the hold hits 14 or wait for another cycle on one laser to get 15 and go.

If anything they would reduce it to 14 - would still solve your problem though.

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool. They lay. They rotted. They turned Around occasionally. Bits of flesh dropped off them from Time to time. And sank into the pool's mire. They also smelt a great deal.

What's stopping you from just turning off the lasers when it its 14k?

Nothing. Mining being such a spectacularly exciting activity I don't mind watching my three toons like a hawk waiting for that exact moment for the lasers to fill the 14K. I mean who ever mines semi afk???

I think it's designed this way so your mining foreman can measure how exactly afk you are

Switch one laser off for the final cycle, job done.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

As someone who has mined for years... what?
So risk it. Have someone sitting in belt with a DST? Drop right into their fleet hangar. I dunno. Think maybe? Find friends?

Ah yes - Eve forums. Now I remember why I haven't posted in years. Simply wondered if adding an additional laser to the Skiff during the recent buff maybe warranted considering the ore hold cap. Last post - I promise.

Didn't you know that friends are OP?

Get used to it. The Retriever/Mackinaw have had 27,500/35,000 ore holds with the exact same problem and nobody has complained about that so far.

CCP doesn't care. They're banking on Alpha Clones to bring in a lot of subscriptions.

Like that's actually gonna happen ...........

Ugh

Feel free to stop mining at 14.
