We don’t need a ‘boost’ to mining as I have learned from my time in null sec, either go all in on a rorq or mine in a proc/cove. The last thing we need is more people just ‘casually’ getting into mining and crashing the markets.
By no metric are they fine. The orca can out mine unboosted barges but can’t out mine them with boosts on so you don’t see dozens of orcas out on a belt. At no point does a rorq become a suboptimal choice, unless you lack infinite protection. So only large groups get the best of the ship. Even if you need to manually tell each drone to make each flight with no repeats another rorq will always be better than a hulk because even with all that trouble they would only be tied for amount of attention per m3.
Well if mining player denied a little bonus up for player who dont have wallet and skillpoints for pilot Rorqual, CCP nerf in short time Excavator OR Rorqual capacity ???
When you mining and see in ORE Belt, multibox Fleet of Rorqual and you are in Porpoise (mining drone) or Procurer … not fair
