Industrial Command Boosting Ships

Yes a Porpoise is not meant to solo mine but if you don’t have an alt and are only boosting you buddy. The porpoise pilot makes 0-1M isk per hour. There is something seriously wrong with this!

Didn’t we have this discussion already, less than two months ago?

Sounds like you’re getting the shaft, and up until now have been OK with it. So fix it and ask your friends to split the extra ore they mine due to the boost % diff? Or pay you your fair share. There’s a million ways to address this between you and your friends without complaining about your existing bad deal on the forums. I mean, I can complain to the devs that I’m not getting a gazillion ISK/hr for [insert justification], but at the end of the day I have to deal with the reality of what the…

If you’re mining in a Porpoise as the sole booster ship in a mining fleet with “you mine it you keep it” rules between you and your friends and are sad about it not being economically viable, then that suggests:

1. What I said 2 months ago: reach a better deal with your friends. Split fuel costs evenly. Or, you take 50% of their boosted yield (if they are getting 16m3/s extra from your boost, you get 8m/s of it and they get 8m3/s of it). Or a bazillion other ideas.
2. Or, figure out a fleet arrangement that is profitable for everyone. Avoid Nash Equilibriums between friends.
3. Change up what you are mining, so it is more profitable.

From what I can tell you’re picking “4: Do nothing and don’t play until the personal playstyle is economically viable again” which is very hard to sympathize with.
