Don’t hurt to try! 
Better solution would be to remove the rorqual from the game and just give Orca’s better mining/boosting capabilities at least this would benefit everyone not just the elite in Delve and Eso

I don’t know about that. If you’ve got the rorq on-grid, it doesn’t make any sense not to try to make it survivable and able to contribute to the mining haul itself.
Hah. First time I’ve ever heard anyone call our bunch of turbo-krabbing mouth-breathers ‘elite’.
I am going to sell my excavators and bling fit use that to buy 5 Rorqual hulls and then just use it as boosting ship with my 3 hulk alt and augmented mining drones

Just make sure I get payed royalties when used in the future
Well that’s super ratting dead especially after the last nerf on respawn.
On the fax changes is there a possibility of an exploit where the opposition could actually add reps to the opposition in order to quickly reduce rep amount its getting?
The NSA change has just killed that mod off. No way would I use that if I cant warp. You nerfed this by stopping people docking now it’s just got ridiculous. Who comes up with these stupid ideas.

Does it upset you that you can no longer rat aligned to a citadel in perfect safety?

CCP, now the interceptor can hold the usual carrier forever, you do not think that for such a larger ship as a carrier, it would be fair to add 1 warp core stabilizer for each improved skill.

This x 1000! And they don’t even hide it anymore!
It’s a flat out money grab poorly if at all disguised as a balancing nerf. Maybe if CCP would actually make this game fun to play they would have an influx of new players that would also decide to stay around and continue to pay CCP subscription money. But instead, they insist on making this game in a way that every activity and second you spend on it feels like a punishment, then wonder why their revenue drops to the point they were in need to sell out their business in order to even survive.

Any chance of an SP refund on Rorqual skills please? Capital Industrial Ships, Mining Drones, Mining Drone Specialisation, Industrial Reconfiguration and Invulnerability Core Operation is a LOT of skillpoints tied up in ONE ship.
This change blows the ISK:Risk ratio out of the water. If the aim of the game is to reduce mineral supply, offering us a chance to re-spec our Rorqual skills into something else, without copping the SP hit of using extractors, will further reduce mineral supply over and above the yield nerf.
The tank nerf just makes the risk far too high for my liking. Putting 10b worth of Rorqual onfield for what I’d estimate to be around an ~80m/hour return is just too much Risk for not enough ISK.
This will be the third Rorqual nerf since you actually made them worth throwing into a belt rather than sitting in a POS giving system wide links. I can see a lot of smaller miners taking advantage of an SP refund to get out of Rorquals altogether which will help reduce mineral supply.

My point exactly this risk ratio is not worth it anymore unless you are in a very very very well protected area. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer

You can still sell your char, people will still be buying rorqual char’s as some alliance will have no problem still using them.
no more tears from “Elite PVP’ers” for 6 months at least, let’s enjoy the sound of silence for some time.

The Curse often dies to passive Gilas. I also killed some in my Vedmak. ECM Drones are the key to success.
CCP should also take a look at the abyssal rats. It might end up that gila drones die too fast so that it won’t be able to do tier 5 anymore. And as said, no other ship can run tier 5 without loosing it at some point

I’m not greedy, I don’t want all your stuff - but can I have your Gila and VNI, as they’re both still perfectly usable ships ?
My Rorq characters can do a lot more than just Rorqual mine. I’d like the ~6m SP per 'toon back to do something else.
further proof cpp doesn’t understand the game, shame you got rid of all your competent devs…

I like the changes, but I don’t agree with the General concept. The main goal of the patch is to remove the surplus of resources. Why not revise the drawings and the amount of resources required for production? Rorquals downgraded, but not as much as they could. There will simply be no more transit systems.CCP you might want to revise old Hulk? Please increase its efficiency in terms of production.
