Great video and comentary, I quit playing eve when the new mining changes went through and my Orca was usles as a drone miner. I ran two accounts 1 paid 1 plexed plexed accout was exhumer pilot. Did this for years. Not been back since but check in from time to time. Keep up the great work.
Jake… you keep making these and I’ll keep watching them. Deal? As a newer eve player I’m loving listening to these either while I work or mine myself. Keep it up 👍
You bring up a great point. This really is a great time to be able to introduce a new mining ship. Doesn’t need to be OP or anything but can be a Trig miner with bonus to drone mining yield and pochven ore or something. And just keep the rest similar to the others or however it gets worked. Would be cool
Love your chill content👍. I miss using my Skiff all the time as my main miner :( As for drone mining, I never thought it should be more than an added complement to your skills/Lasers. Orcas as a hauler/booster to mining is perfect, never been a fan of them being a "solo mining ship" Just my opinion, keep up the mining chats, very enjoyable to watch while I mine o7
I always joked about wanting a miner titan... with a moon drill as a main turret, or a doomsday weapon for mining all rocks at once :D, could be nice. Like having the capability of compress ore, reprocessing it, and perhaps do invention and manufacturing things, perhaps up to cruiser ships, or better if depending the slots used, the manufacturing capability. Like a moving Athanor.
I would love Ore to get a titan that is so big, it is basically a planet. The only way to assemble it is to assemble it's pieces (4 to 8). You have to build them in a POS and then drive those pieces out into space and assemble using a special high slot fitting on a Rorqual/fleet of Rorquals to speed it up. You can fit rigs into this monster of a ship that allow it to harvest Gas out of the surrounding Space. It would be treated like a Ship where you can drive it around the system, but it would be unable to jump unless disassembled and jumped via Cyno.
I am an Null-Sec Miner and what I would like to see is compression of moon Goo in Stations. And what I really would like to see something like a CRAB Beacon for mining or an abyssal filament with a bit more to do do than mining. Some challenging Mining Missions which need to be protected with some Sort of Fighting ship. Some Sort of Mission for fleets
When they made the changes to mining I was hoping they would allow the Orca to become specialized, where you could set it for either boosting, drone mining, hauling or even combat, with changes to the bonuses according to the setup you chose.
One of the things that I really want Eve to have, is a thousands separator in the calculator... please!!!, I don't have the eyesight I used to have when I started... T_T
I remember the days of the 3 strip miners...I have a covetor from those days and I believe it had 3 too, also the procurer had only one. At least how I remember it.
Wow, I've been an sporadic player of Eve since 2007 and mostly miner... and you made me check that, in fact, Hulk now have only 2 turrets??? wtf?, I used to mine with 3 strip miners T_T... About drone mining, I think it could be nice if they make an "Rogue Drone faction Orca", perhaps with great bonuses for drone mining, but penalizing compression or cargohold, just makes sense if "drones enhances drones" I guess.
They should definitely increase the spawn rate for gas, considering it was the only resource that didn't get doubled in size after the introduction of residue. And it wouldn't crash the market since currently gas is just overpriced due to the low availability and high demand. Gas was already hard to find and when the new pirate ships were added the increased demand for gas made it increase in price even more. Viridian and Celadon Mykoserocin for example more than double their original price (although have now lowered but still higher than original price), gas is just too scarce for our needs. Adding more sites wouldn't crash the prices, would just bring them down to acceptable prices while still being one of the best stuff to mine solo.
When they nerfed orca drone mining it was somewhat fine on test server. Then they nerfed it even more for tq release making it not worth undocking. Skill requirement for moon ore compression is a joke.
No joke, Orcas are extremely rare in Imperium space now. Not tanks enough for the price, doesn't provide enough boosts to be worth the isk risk over a porpoise
Ice increase was because they increased the spawn chances because each area only had a certain amount of systems at one time now its like a 12 hours respawn timwr
How do you avoid getting ganked? I don't have the money to pay for more than 1 omega account, but I hear everyone talking about multiple omega accounts. That's like $100s per month. Is it even possible to enjoy mining on 1 omega?
the most likley buffs to mining would be risk reward buffs like putting really good mining sites in faction warfare space so its hard to bot but profitable , i dont mine at all but i enjoy mining because its chill and semi afk and i can watch a movie but thats super bottable so they will never buff the sort of mining i enjoy if i was to do mining
I dont think they should increase the yield for drone mining by rebuffing the ship but by allowing orcas and porpoises to use excavators. 4 for orca and 3 for porpoise. Also, remove residue from excavators. This will mean you can increase your drone mining yield but at the risk of using excavs. As far as gas i agree it should be accesible but i would say it is as the most effective way to mine gas is woth ventures and its the most assesoble ship in game. I would double the size of all gas or double their frequency and remove all gas from hi sec to maintain price. Industrial titan is indresting idea but youll never get the risk vs reward correct. The static problem is because risk reward is trash right now. There is no point of putting anything more then one rorqual to just boost rattin? You need 3 character min for super ratting better to just put 3 ishtars our and if you are going to actove rat nothing beats just taking your group and putting them in stormbringers or thunderchild.
For me the most logical thing to do with drone mining is make them cap unstable like after 10 min cap will die. And gas is ehhh... WH gas sides give ~20mil per venture, but LS and NS gas? Holy crap ~100k per unit/10m3 mean in venture you end up with 50mil per venture. And I talk about ventures. When we go Prospect... For "merchants"... I only see KOS("I don't f care, only us or kill") from alliances and "big Zkill". If we don't have multi-account... Yea I can see that but not with multibox. And if even CCP say "hey we now think multibox is bad for gameplay" imagine how ppl lost they crap over this...
why mine in an orca? they are only meant to buff other miners not solo mine.. well last time i botherd to log on.. i use to run that with 4 hulks and strip mine belts for fun

jake love your solo mining series... i watch them while chilling in a belt !! thanks for all your effort !

I like your ideas a lot. The siege/compression modules are cool but specializing the orca would be ideal.

My solo mining career has reached a point where I'm placing Orcas and Hulks in stations all over regions in which I live.

Was wondering how do you move a ship without, double clicking in space, just saw u make a line and it moved. Thank you in advance
Hold q, and click once for horizontal and again for vertical axis.
Appreciate your help, thank you keep up with the content
Fun fact I have two covetors that have 3 strip miners each fitted. Unfortunately you can not undock with them

Drone Orca….. Gurista Orca? Makes sense. Maybe it could use an excavator drone.
I miss Drone mining in my Orca........ Its just not worth it ant more
