Making the Orca useless for mining is a terrible decision, this will require me to pay for another Omega account just so that i can benefits from Ore Compression in space from my Orca , cause solo Mining in my Orca won’t cut it anymore?
The Porpoise can give the same Ore Compression as the Orca and gives the same Bonus to mining as the Orca?
Why is the Orca being 25 times the price of a Porpoise then ? what is even the point ? The Orca had a 25 times the price of a Porpoise before because it had those NICE bonus to drones mining , something that was worth investing into. Will you Refund the skill investment into drone mining with this change then ? Cause clearly that skill becomes USELESS with this change.
Because of all the changes to Capital construction (which the Orca falls under). Those were also supposed to be a great benefit to the entire Eve community.
first of all im not a miner. All i care about is that CCP unfuck the economy and improve their pathetic grind / fight ratio.
Second:
If yield per character is being reduced then how is that supposed to get more ore onto the market and “end scarcity”?
Third:
Less Rorquals in space is the absolute last thing we need after whaling has already been decimated by a bunch of idiots whining about Capitals as if those hadn’t been fixed by cyno changes and application nerfs already.
Anyone who still thinks Capital proliferation in itself is “evil” is a moron.
So take your snarky comment and shove it somewhere noone has to see it, Dude.
why don’t create a mode like star citizen where you can pay money to buy a unique ship with their NFT. So ccp can stop all this nonsense and actually let me enjoy the game with PVP and mining altogether?
Don´t worry, bots always will pay their omega, and this kind of “buffs” just help them… pearl abyys dont give a ■■■■ about his players… for when the microtransactions?
How can an economy under siege by gate campers possibly thrive ? Some argue that gankers, gate campers, etc fulfil the vital role of destroying stuff…without which money would not flow from ore field to production sites. Eve needs a constant flow of destruction because there is no natural decay as in a rl economy. But I’d argue that gate campers actually throttle the economy…cause long diversions via other routes…generate no real new income…and that restrictions on gate camping and instead have expanded large scale PvE and PvP scenarios would far better expand the economy. Those large scale battles…rather than being picked off by a bunch of dudes in Catalysts at a stargate…are what most join Eve for !
Foreword: I PVP 90% of the time and mine in my rorqual on the weekends when i have time to fund my pvp habits.
So let me get this straight. You are nerfing the rorqual into the ground? The only thing that people use it for is mining solo in higher quantities after spending 3 years training for it and spending 8 Billion isk on it. The thing is basically useless as it is right now so you are gonna put a nail in the coffin. What is it gonna be used for? Im not gonna take my 8b isk ship out to give command bursts when i can do it just fine in a 100m isk porp lol (that can now compress btw)
The one thing that it will have over the other command ships is it had a compressor and your giving it to a porp/orca lol.
You guys need to realize there is a great risk in using this thing right? You can only use it 0.0 and you cant escape if you get caught. Rorquals if i am not mistaken are the highest hunted/killed capital ship in the game.
So now what youve done is make everyone buy porpoises and get 3 hulk alts a great scheme i see to get more money for your greed.
That’s it boys the rorqual is dead. if this actually goes live I will probably reprocess the stinkin thing.
Ive stuck through it all with you ccp every bad update and terrible decision for almost a decade i never quit but you guys have officially lost it. Think about the collective SP that people put into these things it took me 3 years to train into it and countless nights ratting in a vexor to save up enough money to finally buy the gem of eve online the panicle of perfection.
I think that CCP is doing this nerf out of sheer greed. What is this update what are you doing this makes no sense. Just buff the ores back to what they were and stop ruining the game please. I love this game stop destroying it i beg you.
Actually using bulkheads not only reduces cargohold, they also severely reduce yield per cycle. Two meaningful choices - There was always a very good reason miners shield tanked.
So Essentially nothing changes. Yeah, skills get changed, and you need skills for compression. But the more you skill into mining, the longer it lasts.
and if you are already skilled in it, and you have your own ■■■■, you can make money.
compression loss sucks sure, but I don’t really see that many negatives about this patch.
So essentially with these changes, a single rorqual with T2 indy core and 5 excavs mines less than a covetor. Cool. O_o Honestly I wouldnt be quite as annoyed by that if WE COULD ACTUALLY COMPRESS MOON ORE IN A STATION! Why the hell would moon ore compression be a Rorqual only thing? That is absolutely absurd.
