I like most of the changes. However I'm a little concerned over the 22.5 km base AoE (Orca). Occasionally I do have separations of 30-40 km. 22km zone edge is really going to be a new PITA and too close when considering multiple mining barges that you naturally will want to spread across the belt as far as possible - each with a laser range increased to about 18km now, hmmm) It takes leveling up through all 5 lvl on 3 separate skill sets to eventually increase the AoE to ~46.75 km (without implants). Doable but like I said, starting out it might be a PITA.
Also, I keep seeing references by people saying one has to now continually re-boost (manually clicking). However I don't see any justification for this assumption (if that's what they are). Cycle time is about 1 minute, but nothing I've seen indicates they will not auto-cycle (and I think they should as a matter of principle). I'll just say it here now, if the boost for mining doesn't auto-cycle that WILL SUCK!!

Looks like I should invest in an egg-timer in order to do efficient Orca Mining boosting ........

The purpose of the egg-timer is to draw attention to time just before, and not after, when they (the residual affect on the miners) will expire (and It is not an issue of AFK) - but rather it is situational awareness and "cockpit workload management" issue. Yes, if I only had two accounts running I probably could bother to move the mouse over, hover for a second, wait for the time left to pop back up again every 15 seconds (or alternatively squint to see when the little meter is getting really close on the first miner), but I'm managing several and don't have time for that. The egg-timer is working great thanks... |
