That was then. That was also when moon goo was mined by POS. Also this is almost back to the lolbertarian days of the dream of local production. Except it's actually working.

Facebook Aunt posted:In the Delekin days mining was considered alien and ungoony. Rorquals are the now the most profitable, scale-able income source. In edition to Delve being one of the best regions because of a combination of good true-sec and small distance in LY, allowing a supercapital to reach from staging to ~80% of Delve. That, combined with goons' ability to get newbros into KF, then give them the means of printing isk in order to inject into more rorqs, in order to print more isk, in order to inject into more supers/titans, has given them critical mass. As well as always having fleets/sigs with poo poo to do. The last thing cannot be overstated enough as what most other alliances are lacking. It boils down to a normal day in goons can be: - Join fleet. - Warp between 1 to infinity rorquals to mine. - Jump on comms and bullshit with fellow nerds - If an enemy of substance attacks you, just call for help, light cyno, and between 10-200 capitals will come destroy whatever is attacking you. Not only does this allow you to make copious amounts of isk, but also allows you to shoot the poo poo with friends or watch netflix or whatever. Edit: I should note that this is the reason I don't warp to goon rorqs when I roam Delve, because it greatly reduces the amount of give-a-poo poo people pay me.

Mining has always been very scalable, and mining was already a decent income activity even before rorquals. It's just goons are dumb and like to repeat stale memes about how mining is/was bad until the most obvious broken poo poo that was rorqual mining on initial release combined with the prior capital rebalance smacked them over the head. It wasn't quite as good as carrier ratting which was the flavor of the month, but it was pretty competitive with ishtar ratting for a good year or two before we lost deklein, but again goons are dumb and can't do math Basically rorquals are the new chimera, except you have 5b isk of vulnerable drones per rorqual sitting in space instead of a well-tanked chimera that works well with other ratting chimeras.

Is there really any use or isk to be made in mining in anything that isn't a rorqual, or is it pretty much get into one as quickly as possible? I ask cause I'm almost tempted to log in again to relive my newbie days mining.

Rutibex posted:Eve is supposed to be somewhat of a sim. Removing jump freighters makes no in-universe sense. Of course jump drive technology would be used for cargo. Something like that would need to be really costly and easy to prevent with a coordinated group or otherwise that basically would be the end of jump freighters in and out of highsec.

FranktheBank posted:Rorquals are the now the most profitable, scale-able income source. That's only partially true. It's the best PvE income source, but PvP income can be much greater. Be that killing freighters, scamming people, or gouging people on the market.

Before you make your mind, keep in mind that rorqual mining is not any more fun than mining in a barge. You just make more, but it's equally boring. Also keep in mind that the alliance is filled with pubbies who use the super capital umbrella to hover entire belts in an hour with their 35 mining accounts. That means, if you as a player with only a few account wants to mine, there's good chances that all you'll find are asteroid belts with nothing but Ochre unless you go in the few systems with the mining rules. If you're stuck having to mine Ochre, you may as well do carrier ratting.

Maybe it was because it was a new thread, or maybe it was tribute to Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka's robot spine. In terms of things happening, we're jamming our thumbs into the eyesockets of the people currently squatting in the north, having thoroughly and repeatedly embarrassed them in supercap fights.
