CCP should add more endgame content for master miners like Glen, maybe a Highsec rorqual is needed to maintain his interest? ---

Professional HiSec miners need Rorquals. It’s the perfect mining platform and would add new content to HiSec. ---

The content is pretty slim, once a miner trains Orca, there’s really nothing to do… you sit there for awhile and game over? CCP needs to add a new mining ship, like maybe 3 orcas stacked on top one another? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/5/2/1/52139e932f1ee403df816443fb6695c09d88b1cf.png) ---

Rorquals are for nullsec, we need a Highsec endgame ship for miners to train into. I’m thinking something with 15 midslots and 36 mining lasers. Otherwise, they reach the Orca, and they just run out of content. Poor Glen here has already exhausted the skill queue. ---
