This doesn’t really make rorqs ‘no longer justified’. After all, you still have to move your miners through nullsec. You wanna gate those barges and exhumers? Or just, you know… jump there?

I think they just see the non combat ships as flying pieces of bait with little or no comprehension of the type of pilot willing to fly in them.
lets just give you folks that wanna pvp a bunch of rookie ships and your own server and let you do your thing there. in the last 4 years ccp has nerfed subcaps to death…i site tengu’s and drakes. then they beef up the 1200 dollar (real friggin money) ships like the titans and supercaps. if you are gonna be all pissy about capital ships and how hard they are to destroy, take them out of the game…which goes back to my suggestion of all you pvp’ers that want blood at all costs…get your own little server where you can have all the tidi and carnage you want. pvp is 20% or less of eve…so much more here to see and do.

I dunno about the rest of the game, but there’s probably 1-3000 of them in delve.
So @Brisc_Rubal @CCP_Falcon any news on the second literation of ECM changes?
Have you not seen Starwars where Luke kills a Super with a solo frigate.

If anything it should be the other way around. PVP has always been the corner stone of EVE, everything else exists only to fund PVP. All the industry, all the isk making, it all goes into ships and structures eventually being blown up. Or into RMT.

That’s completely true. Rorquals will still be powerful ships, I’m mostly responding to the knee-jerkers who claim Rorqs will be completely unusable.
You can also put Hulks in your Rorqual and then Jump your Hulks to your mining system

Because nerfing ships to make them viable to a specific viewpoint is always a mistake, you nerf them too much, then you have to buff them again when they get abandoned, for the lack of efficiency, and all those big kills stop happening. then any more built add to the surplus, so you have to buff them again, bring them back to viability, and make them useful to take out again, then people complain…endless cycle. make them as hard to build as faction capitals, and people will stop making them unless they absolutely have to due to the huge requirements, then you slow flow.

how about provi heard it has better stuff 
If you make them boosting ships you will need some way of reimbursing those that trained them for mining. When FAX were added, carrier pilots received the fax, because many of them trained into carriers for capital reps. So, re-purposing that meant they had to account for the pilots who trained for capital reps. If you want to re-purpose rorqs into mainly boosting ships, you’ll need to find a way to reimburse the pilots who spent a year training into a rorq for its mining yield.
Also, before you say that their original intent was to boost, you have to realize that isn’t their intent now. Most pilots started training rorqs long after they were for mining rather than boosting, so saying that they have always been for boosting is unrealistic.
you could take away the local tank bonus completely from rorqs and people would still use them, because Panic gives more than enough time to get fax and a defense fleet on grid
You should read the books more, luke didnt kill the executor super star destroyer, it was taken down after its secondary damage control station was damaged and its bridge destroyed.

CCP isn’t going to refund skillpoints every time they make a balance change. And honestly, people have never had it as easy as they do now. Extract the skills you don’t want anymore and inject them into something else. No big deal.

Sure but I was exaggerating for effect :]. Technically that whole process was over a hell of a long period finding plan’s weak point’s and so on so in eve term’s it might be like a frigate killing an afk plate fit super over many many hour’s and then having a fleet come in and whore on the kill at the end.
