Why are my miners being killed off in 0.8 hisec by rats?

That’s not discussion, that’s BS.

Claiming you know CCP intent better than they do…

…and you know CODE is dying because of those zillions of times you left?

…and if you knew that then why didn’t you know about the Tri…it’s been common knowledge for a wee bit now so…

Orcas in the whole history of EVE have never been able to ice mine, until very recently. Then MOST ice miners turned to Orca mining, CCP would have to be blind not to foresee ice mining Orcas to be AFK Paradise. Now with these Triglavians, I don’t know what the point of Ice mining Orcas is now.

Anyway the stats speak for themselves, Players are leaving cos CCP is making strange decisions, or maybe Black Pearl is making it for them, who knows, whatever…

Kinda hard to believe that a previous EVE player would come back and start AFK mining without even reading the latest blogs/news/launcher articles on what is happening in EVE lately…

Just because they know it can happen does not mean it’s the intent.

Seriously your whole post makes no sense.
They gave orca a drone bonus because this way mining drones were useful in HS AND the orca does not boost itself. So orcas are better with a fleet, are boosting the fleet, which promotes collaboration between players in HS.
They gave orcas a drone bonus because it was the way to remove offgrid boosts : orcas are the little brother of the rorqual and benefit from the same idea (although no excavator). So a BOOSTER (orca) need to be on grid, and thus should have a role other than boosting for its price : the role being to mine with drones and heal and have room for the fleet(boosting and logistics roles+ small mining) .

If the players who are leaving are bots and afk wannabe, or “I WANT PLEX FOR FREE”, I mean that’s a pretty good thing :slight_smile:

AFKing in a fleet of orcas is not a good idea

Yeah now its not a good idea, twas a few weeks ago when I was mining in them as an omega, now its pointless, agreed

?

Holy ■■■■ this idiot … https://zkillboard.com/kill/78684145/

nope, setup alarm for 95% shield, and/or make a tinker setup out of orcas… and pay only drone tribute for being afk.

Yeah, CCP ENCOURAGED AFK Ice mining, now they’re PUNISHING those whom they encouraged, Amazing

Always funny how people nowadays defend CCP introducing more NPC to take care of things that players used to be supposed to do. Back in the days, people put CCP and their supporters on stakes every time they suggested that NPC should do more player activities.

Actually I agree with you but bots are out of control and this is just a happy coincidence…

No they did not.

Did you know ? If you are active, you can kill those NPCs.
If you are not, or if you are a bad bot, you will lose your ship. That’s a win-win situation.

Yes, but it takes approximately 10 minutes for triglavian raznaborg wing to kill a single orca. They dont point, so failing to setup an alarm/being AFK in not a valid excuse.

If Trigs killing orcas in 10 mins was introduced from the very moment Orcas could Ice mine, I’d understand. But Trigs only now can kill Orcas, and its been a fair while since Orcas could Ice mine, so CCP is all over the place with their logic, or Black Pearl is, or whoever is running this circus

Unfortunately CODE. failed with their job, now NPCs have to take over what needs to be done. A shame on CODE.

So, your logic is that game should remain unchanged forever? Then Orcas should have never been allowed to mine and the problem wouldnt exist to begin with.

What you really want is to keep changes that benefit you and whine about things that dont.

Exactly, Orcas should never have been allowed to mine, it encouraged AFK game play, with ICE belts being full of AFK players, now CCP is trying to destroy AFK mining, leaving the mining Orca a useless idea in the first place.
Edit, Unless you mine with friends, but who hangs out with friends in Eve to just sit there and mine, I mean the idea is preposterous right?? !!
