Well CCP admitted that they aim to create a shortage of resources. Thus miners are being hit hard.
When you think every sources of ISK being nerfed (incursions, ratting, mining, trading, there might be more that i am not aware of).
We were having for some time over abundance of resources and it is the point when supers and titans are being made like cookies. While they should be “end game”, “hard to acquire” things.
That is true that those changes will “ruin” some players game play.
I truthfully understand OP i myself skilled for rorqual for more than 1 year and when i was able to decently fit, guess what happened.

How? The value of ore increases, you just need to move about a bit.
I mean, you can still move around, cant you?
We havent gone all Wall-E yet, have we?
I just love how they basically put everything back to how things were before the Citatel expansion where they buffed the Rorqual to a point where it became the primary mining ship and giving null so much resources that they don´t have to be dependant from highsec. A lot of people seem to forget that it was not that long since there was almost no way to mine Tritanium in most of nullsec

Yes that is happening to every “meta” ship eventually. Sadly no one told me that we i started to play this game.

What is a “meta” ship?
A ship that gets used almost exclusevely to a point where it´s considered that any other option is not valid anymore

Like the orthrus was used for PVP, and the VNI for ratting. And the mach with its huge range. And carriers for anything (they had a very clear role : they pwned anything subcap).
Meta means that you need to prepare for this when designing a fit/compo, so it makes the “meta” thing PART OF the game, no more a mere option.
(meta game is the game about the game : preparing fleet compos is metagaming, fighting is gaming ; and as many people would say, most fight result is known before the fight hence baiting, scouts, are an important metagame)

Ok, I get it, you’re a troll. Less than 4 minutes is still less than 4 minutes.
Uhuh…
Never really mined much with drones have you? Over 5km yield halves, over 7 is about 1/3rd. To mine at the same range as what the strip miners can about %10 of the yield on paper.
You living under a rock when those Rorquals died during the State of the Alliance speech?
It was everyone, since a bunch of that crap that ends up on the Jita market comes from 0.0 and not LS or HS.
You’re being deliberately argumentative and ignorant.
Still waiting on that livestream of you rorqual mining.
Instantly? No. Skills need to have a value proposition, until there were T2 industrial cores, nobody trained industrial reconfiguration beyond 2-3. Mining drone specialisation might be.a bit more appealing if it increased things like speed, range as well as yield.
Is that a cut and paste signature you keep using, or does it make you feel like you’re winning an argument?
Answer this, if mining is so damn good, you must be doing it to pay for your account then, right?

Maybe it’s a good thing rorq mining / null sec mining gets harder? But I feel your issue. Big changes to gameplay mechanics are not always fun to digest.
Except when it is 2 minutes. Then it is “2 minutes”.
If you’re holding off of the roid that far you’re 100% pure moron.
Ok, do you not understand what “NS local BO” was? It was in NS. Not Jita, not LS or HS or anywhere other than NS.
What stream? Oh yeah - one of your many fantasies. You need help.
Yes. Between the mining and some PI I PLEX all my accounts. Not sure how that makes any difference to your stupidity but w/e…

Its not, less rorques on field less targets for pvp. Also as mining force multipliers it will eventually mean more expensive ships as the volume of ore produced decreases.
People will form up and fight for a rorque, a skiff or hulk? No one cares.

There’s no need to be careful about it.
Only the smallbrains think that when every carebear miner leaves …
… that there won’t be anyone left mining.
My whole corp exists solely …
… because we’ve been waiting for the worthless drags of society to finally get lost.
Without a doubt …
… that’s finally happening.
