HHD (Hive high density) mining beam
3.0 0.7 large port 7 grid (so you cant put 3 on a MM2)

rare drop from a hive queen

Great, except you forgot the stats. Is everything okay at home?

I think he means:

Mining Rate 3.0
Heat Rate 0.7

and 7 grid x3 = 21 = overload. Make it 6, Drevent. You need to specify a weight and a range.

As for being a rare drop from a queen, all hive mining seems to be done by heatless built-in mining beams that are not at all fast. Perhaps this could be a Tunguska item? Mission reward? Manufactured?

+1 to a manufactured mining beam that isn't an inferior piece of crap.

As it stands right now the only one that can be manufactured is the Light Xithricite Mining Beam which sucks.

+1 to ARF

suggested in various forms before... good idea +1

+1 ARF.

I thought the stats were obvious ...my bad
grid is 7 for a reason (so you cant put 3 on a behemoth miner mk II)

range 25m weight 2500k

3.0 0.7

These stats could be anything, licenses, rate/heat, I don't know which one, you need to clarify this instead of expecting everyone to know exactly what you're talking about.

I expect everyone in the suggestions forum to have a reasonable grasp of the game stats
stop being an ass Kierky

How is that being an ass? I was asking you to clarify your suggestion, and make it comprehensible and readable for everyone, it's not that hard, you just need headings and explanations. That's all.

Most of the people on this forum know when I'm being an ass, but this is not one of those times.

Best stop the bickering or this thread will go nowhere. Kierky was right to ask for clarification, Drevent. If you look at countless suggestions for new equipment, it is the custom on these forums to present all the stats as if you were looking at the info page in-game. I'd even suggest you edit your OP to show all that info.

Sorry, I misread your OP thinking you wanted to fit 3 on a MM2.

anyway, +1 to the add-on, tho I wouldn't make it a queen drop.

+1 for a craftable better mining beam, crafting and mining are a natural combination so it would make sense that miners have something to craft that actually helps them.

The crafting can actually be quite expensive because mining is generally a low-risk effort. It would actually be kind of cool if the crafted beams be distinguishable, e.g. by a special color, so crafted mining beams become a nice target.

I apologise Kierky for the terse attitude

If folk think craftable is a better idea I'm ok with that but the queen drop idea is that you have to kill stuff to get them as this is a combat game

If they were craftable they should be expensive to make

I also like the idea of them being a different colour beam so pirates can see that you are using them

That and queens already drop enough good stuff.

If it were just a combat game then there wouldnt be any mining....

+1 to a new craftable beam

Craftable sounds fair to me.

Ok thats settled then when can we expect to see them in game :P soon(tm)?

I hope you know that not all completely player approved suggestions make it in game?

Thats unfair - how come only the Dev approved suggestions get implemented? :}
