I'm assuming these would be new role bonuses considering the current high slot layout? Or are we talking additional high slots? While I'm being a pain (every player's right) I was wondering if that frigate will have a higher yield than, say, a T1 cruiser loaded down with Miner IIs?
Because it is a specialized frigate, I would hope so. Also, since they plan to remove the T1 Cruiser bonuses for mining sometime in the future, I would hope to see a new mining "cruiser". Pew Pew Pew! |

Would be nice to have more diversity in aligning times as well as cargo hold sizes. But, I'd like to see what they do with the updated barges first.
EDIT: I also view Mining Barges/Exhumers as battleships because they have some of the worst align times (granted, with a tank of a cruiser currently) Pew Pew Pew! |

I thought Exhumers were specializations of Mining Barges, not a size step up. Hence the need for Mining Barge V. |

Mining Frigate IV -> Mining Cruiser IV -> Mining Barge IV -> Exhumer
Imagine the tears when the Frigate and Cruiser skills unlock only a single ship apiece.
Sarcasm aside, fit some nanos instead of cargo expanders. CCP is making it much easier to do that with the barge revamp. Nothing Found |

All barges will be situational.
All barges are getting a yield increase.
Again, All barges will be equivalent, but situational. except the procurer, which will still be as useless as ever.
Yeah, 'cause battleship size EHP is useless |

Cargo mods and rigs only affect your main cargo hold. They don't affect ore bays, maintenance bays, corp hangars, or drone bays. Excellent, so they'll be useless on these new ships. I am trying not to drool over these new mining ship ideas; they sound fantastic.
Edit: Seems like CCP are planning on nerfing the main holds, so the rigs and extenders will be pretty useless.
Might be a good time to sell any stocks of alloyed tritanium bars. |

It is nowdays if you want to mine and keep your ship. Alts have been changed to protect the Innocent. You may have mistaken me for someone who cares..... |

I disagree. I've never owned one nor flown one, but if I understand the proposed changes, the Procurer would have a place for mining in hi-risk environments without support. Sure, the yield will be terrible compared to a Covy or Hulk and the cargo space will be annoyingly small but it can survive.
I like the proposed changes, as was stated above, different ships for different applications. |
