So, ships like the Domi will get a damage bonus for the 5 drones we can now deploy...
What about mining drones? I use Miner I's and Harvesters in my Domi and it works great, is this ship going to get a damage/mining bonus, or are we getting gimped?

I believe, although I could be wrong, the dev blog states interfacing will give a damage/mining bonus.

Unless they changed something recently; drone ships will not get mining bonuses.

Of course, but that still leaves the ships with a drone control bonus lacking of 5 mining drones.

He's talking about ships like the Dominix.
Currently they can use 15 drones.
With the drone changes, they will only have the equivalent mining ability of 10. - Proud member of the [23].

The obvious solution would be to add a mining drone bonus to the drone control ships' combat drone bonuses. ---

It's a drone ship, thus there is no reason why it couldn't take full advantage of any drones there are to offer, in this case, miner drones.

I agree on both points! Oh wait, therein lies the problem. I've been on the fence about this for years. Now that CCP is FINALLY realizing that despite their best efforts there is more to this game than combat, they're finally helping out the industry characters. I'm now leaning slightly towards BS = combat, mining ships = well, mining. ---

Yeah its a shame bs's are used for mining but sadly CCP hasn't shown as much love in the past to industrialists. I mean really only 3 ships in game that are actually dedicated mining ships.
Though with RMR we're getting some love so it might not be an issue as much if CCP give miners more variation as well.

Battleships shouldn't be used in mining period. I'm not saying the current system is fine for miners, i'm sure they need more ships ect. CCP should get on that at some point rather then continue to have battleships mine. It's just plain dumb
Not nearly as dumb as a Moros mining with 35x harvies but i won't get started on that ________________________________________________________

Edited by: Henka on 08/11/2005 07:33:29 k, please. Read the drone changes tread CAREFULLY!
what you get now is 5 drones sure, but BOTH interfacing and level in Ship (domi, vexor, etc) will give drone dmg and mining yeild bonuses.
So, dont cry wolf.
Everything is in order, you will get roughtly 15 drones worth of mining done with 5 drones. Even better, you will get some bonus due to alot of the rounding that hapends with drones when mining stuff bigger then 1m3.
christ, calm down dudes.
[Btw, not all drone ships are battleships moron, we still got Vexor and that Amarr one, aswell the tech2 drone carriers]

Droneships appearantly don't get any bonuses to drones besides the damage, so they will no longer be good miners and not be any better at deploying the new drones then anyone else either. That kind of stinks...

harvestor drones are being re seeded via agents or pirate 0.0 drops and therefore will be in fresh supply and will be doing 75 units per minute (5 of those little buggers with the mining bonus will still leave the apoc and dominix and megathon as 0.0 tanking mining ships)

Did you read the dev blog, did you read anyone's previous posts?
Drones 5 will give you the ability to control 5 drones. Each level of drone interfacing will give you 20% more yield from mining drones. I'm assuming since you lose 8 mining drones that you have Gal BS 4 and drone interfacing 4. So, your drone interfacing skill will give you 4x20%=80% bonus yield per mining drone.
So each drone is operating at 180% efficiency x 5 drones = 900% efficiency = equivalent of 9 drones which is what your previous drones + drone interfacing allowed before.
The Gallente BS ship bonus, I've no doubt that CCP will add a mining drone bonus to the Dominix when this is all released (I haven't bothered to go and look on Sisi to see if it's there).

LOL. Complete nonsense!

gotta love it when people know what they're talking about
read the Dev Blogs and the thread posts above and below...
Scout and Mining drones get bonuses per skill level. You will only be gimped on the NUMBER of drones you can put out, not what they produce damage/harvest wise... please inform yourself before you choose to inform others.

So uh, what ship am I supposed to use my Modulated Deep Core Mining laser 2s on?
