Topic: Termis

A small balancing issue:

IMHO the Termis should be able to target at least 4 targets, like the other mechs. One per Industrial slot.

another thing i would like to see, is a supporter variation of the Termis or Gargoyle - all three mining bonuses replaced with accu, remote-repair and shield bonus.

I am an Industrial harvester character. All I need is 2 targeting locks at a time, and I mine 1 spot at a time. Multiple locks while mining will fill your cargo just as fast as all harvesters on 1 spot at a time. If you plan on AFK mining Multiple spots with multiple miners then you will be disappointed.

Someone that watches the amount a spot has left [ works for harvesting not mining being that the mining spot doesnt show amount that remains] can turn off the harvies that will just waist Cap and a charge when  the spot is almost out [1 unit/1charge/harvy] a small way industrialists can save a few NIC here and there.

Discourageing AFK mining is why the hauler has only 1 Industrial hardpoint.

Currently this game isn't for the AFK player.

Re: Termis

i am not afk mining

its just that i can mine four tiles at once, while having the field container open and a sequer is doing the hauling...

Re: Termis

Its a fair request, tho its not really a vital upgrade, just put two miners on one tile every, then the other two have one each.

Re: Termis

I mine 2 tlies at a time, what i would rather see is a destroyer miner, or something that i can have 8-10 miners+ with tunings going.

We have fields of ore that could be mined, but its such a tedious process now.

Player controlled structures that will mine on their own. At least, that is what's been mentioned by a couple of devs.

You and me both Afro. tongue I was very disappointed by my new heavy mining mech. The thing is damn near impossible to get stable with 5 med. minin lasers. The devs BADLY needed to add a fifth leg slot. Hell it only has one torso slot more than the termis mech. And thats it.

Re: Termis

And it has 31U cargo right?
I know this could not be enough, as pro-miners always have a horde of sequers hauling the stuff for them ... but i think this is a great improvement.
I may also agree the devs look shy when improving the mechs slots ... but the global seems to be "1 more slot per loc per mech level"

I wish, it only has 21U. And yes adding 1 more mining laser slot is perfectly in line with the rest. No issues there, the problem is that the damn thing is sure as hell not worth 3x the price of a termis. Not in any shape form or way. I have EXACTLY the same effeciency with the Riveler as I did with my termis just 2 weeks ago. (Before they nerfed one of it's mining slots off.) Now I can fit a whole extra small mining laser! Yay!

Don't waste your money on one. It's basically +8% mining yield and a cool looking model for 3x the price. Yes it has resist bonuses, but they arn't worth jack, because you need all 4 legs slots for med. aux. acc. to just barely run 4 med. miners and a small. (If you have all cap skills and mining efficiency at 6+) So forget about fitting something to make that useful, like a resist plate, or universal armor.

Now the difference between a argano and a termis, thats a real upgrade. And is what the riveler deserves.
