Remove Ore Compression as a ship ability of the Rorquals and make it a fitting/modification that can be fitted on this type of ship.
There are three ships this would apply to:
Porpoise
Orca
Rorqual
There is no need to change any hulls, cargo space, ore space or fleet hangar space.
It could be called an Industrial Compressor and fit in a mid slot on one of the above ships.
Example skills that could be used for this ship equipment could be as follows:
Porpoise Mining Foreman 5
Industrial Command Ships 1
Mining Director 1
Leadership 3
Science 5
Spaceship Command 5
Industry 3
Orca Mining Foreman 5
Industrial Command Ships 2
Mining Director 3
Leadership 3
Science 5
Spaceship Command 5
Industry 4
Rorqual Mining Foreman 5
Industrial Command Ships 3
Mining Director 4
Leadership 4
Science 5
Spaceship Command 5
Industry 5
The above skills and suggestion add to the game by operating within normal in-game parameters as well as providing a selection / difference of fittings for industry people.
I think the rorqual should have it as default, like it already does, as a quirk or something, but I agree it could be made into a module for the Orca and the Porpoise, with the use banned in Empire space, to maintain the security status-quo.
You’re usually in range of a station with a reprocessing service module to compress anyways when using the Orca and the Porpoise, but I believe such a module could provide a bit more autonomy for them, I like it.
Incorrect, but showing a great example of the False Dichotomy argument. if people need every last thing on here broken down to it’s most basic component(s) then either they are in the wrong place or I am.
As this was advertised as the place to post ideas and I have done that…it is not I who is in the wrong place.
There will always be items posted that not everyone understands all the ins and outs of and maybe…just maybe…people will go out and find out a little bit more what they don’t know.
If not, then they should be extremely happy in their bliss of not knowing.
OP understands that it actually isnt a function of the ship, but of the industrial core module, yes? The rorqual is merely the platform to use the module on.
Started reading discussion. Realized OP is just making petulant childish demands without justification or discussion. Like many ideas in this section of the forums, the idea is ruined by the person posting it.
