Rorqual time!

Yep I finally did it. I bought a Rorqual and took it out on its first mini mining op. One thing I will likely always do...I will never mine with other people other than really close people I trust. Also I will not let anyone know that I am mining. I used to go fleets in the past and we would gank carriers, and mining fleets. Spies were always used. Spies get paid nicely to provide targets. A Rorqual is like a massive mining station. It actually transforms into a mining station while you mine. Now here is the catch while in this super mining mode (about 2.5 times more yield that the hulk), you can not move.

Each cycle on your industrial core lasts 5 minutes. If you cycle your core once the ship will transform to its normal state losing the super mining ability with its billion per unit drones. So say your mining in a belt with loads of people they can actually time when your next 5 minute cycle will begin...meaning they have 5 minutes to let friends know exactly where you are! My solution is not perfect but I can not help but try my best to stay safe.

I actually love the on the edge of your seat feeling!
