can't wait till all of the hulk miners realize that the Skiff is much more resilient and they switch to it, making Hulkageddon a thing of days past (no, not really) eh |

"Covetor/hulk: ore bay is identical to its current cargo hold, little to average EHP, but best mining output. Basically made for group operations when players have industrials and protection to back them up"
Skiff gets "battleship-like EHP", but Hulk stays the same BY THOSE WORDS.
The New Player Experience is being nicely worked on, that's for sure and "**OBVIOUS**",..........but what about Player RETENTION ?
Fly the Retriever/Mackinaw then. eh |

Quote: Mining output: first and most visible balancing factor, plan is to increase all barge mining output to be within an acceptable margin of the Hulk, not miles behind as it is currently.
what CCP defines as an "acceptable margin" and what a miner defines as an "acceptable margin" are two very different things eh |

i'd say that the retriever's much higher cargo capacity makes up for that eh |

That must be why I see so many Prophecies, Cyclones and Feroxes around eh |

It's like the most popular ship to gank in high sec so you boost the hp on the other 2 but not the one everybody uses, that one gets less and pretty much left alone.. What's the point in flying one now?? Meh subscription ends in 3 days may as well just let it laps.. Minecraft is more fun than eve these days...

Perhaps you should consider weighing your options - you can maximize yield with a Hulk at the expense of tank and cargo capacity, you can compromise and use a Mackinaw/Retriever and get good yield with a reasonable tank and cargo capacity, or mine with a Procurer/Skiff and get acceptable yield with a brick tank. Choices, choices, choices. eh |

The changes to the attack frigates are simply amazing. New players are now more able to "explore" (for the lack of a better word) fast tackling in a more viable ship than the traditional tackling frigates (i.e. the Rifter) and decide whether training interceptors will be a goal for specialization. Mad props.
Sadly, this is a bit of a stealth-nerf to the Rifter. The Rifter was the symbol of the motto of "every ship is dangerous." It was a cornerstone of GoonFleet propaganda since 2006. It is effectively a symbol of this game - a game where even a new player can absolutely and irreversibly ruin your day. See the LEGO Rifter.
