This is an idea I had to get rorquals back into space, mine some of the unmined moons and maybe open the door for moon ore theft.
A High slot module for roquals that allows them to mine moons
The module would fire a volley of 10 missiles of any type at the moon to brake a chunk off. Then activates a tractor beem (built into the module) which would take 1 hour to drag the chunk to the rorqual, which its drones could mine.
can use any ship missile (different missiles would give different sized chunks, see below)
the Rorqual needs to be Siege for the hole time, but would be deactivated if Siege stops
How dose this help the game?
This would bring rorquals out into the open
This would mine moons that are not normally touched (Los-sec)
athnaors and Tatars would still be relevent because the can provide cover for mining ships and are set and forget.
The chunk size:
-should be small anuff for the rorqual to mine in one Siege cycle.
-I think the chunk size should be a function of missile damage determiners the base size of the chuck, and minimum velocity factor should but used to determine the veneration between the max and min size. for example (small missiles would give the smallest chuck but have the highest veneration).
minimum velocity factor
is the output from the calculate used to workout missile damage (sorce EVE Uni Missile mechanics - EVE University Wiki )
