Nearly double the Rorqual kills this month (november) over last month (Oct). *Snip* No Kill Mails. *Snip* Opp success CCP?

And a rorqual loss mail used to be such an exclusive club :(

That can't be right. Many internet spaceship forum experts informed us that absolutely nobody would use the Rorqual without off-grid boosting.

Also seems to be a spike in orcas - about 37 kills in a three day period Nov 17-19.

Good. The more destroyed Rorquals, the better. The mining capabilities of the Rorqual are insanely overpowered. The mineral market would collapse within weeks if Rorquals were allowed to roam freely.

it pretty much confirms the bullcrap " you will want this thing in the field".... so that 5 drones you fit it with can make even more for an expensive killmail loss.

10bn?

im sure it was fun for the attacker than the defender..

Sounds good.

Enough kills and mineral prices will increase as will the price of Rorquals.

Might have to start building Big smile

The CSM gets in the way of CCP communicating properly with the players of this game.

After all we are not just players, we are customers.

Time for the CSM to be disbanded.

Yeah and the relative value of rorquals that do die is vastly increased as well.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

That's exactly why I retired my boosting fleet before this expansion went live and reprocessed the ships into ones that are useful as I will never put a Rorq or command ship on grid.

Whomever is making the last few years decisions on what changes are to be implemented in this game, must hate Eve with all their being.

Why stop there? You can pretty much eliminate all ship losses if you stop undocking entirely.

The Rorquals of noobs and small corps will get killed.
The Rorquals of big alliances and powerblocks will be pretty safe deep inside their sov. The Rorqual fleets will mine and grind all day. 1 Roqual = 6 Hulks. Its insane. (Way too much.)

Mineral prices are already dropping.

Just remember even paranoids have enemies.

And if your in a rorqual or an orca in lo-sec or Null, everyone is your enemy, hell even your own corp mates would be looking at a kill mail that big with enough drooling to make them consider a backstab followed by a change of alliance.

Prices for drones will drop. At the moment they are new and supply is low, which means people go crazy and pay insane amounts of ISK for them. For example, the Augmented Mining drone is only 10% better, but costs 300 times more than the mining drone II (600,000 * 300 = 180,000,000 ISK).

You reprocessed your ships..... Haha. Do you not realise how inefficient that is. You probably lost a bil and a half just on the Rorqual alone. You would have done better just insuring them and going out in a blaze of glory.
