This is my entry to the EVE online Create a Ship contest, its called the Hunchback and is meant as a corporation based mining ship, it is able to mine both minerals and gas compounds and refine them without the need of a Space Port, this, and its holding capacity, means the ship can essentially strip mine a whole asteroid field and refine the materials on the go, never having to move until the resources run out. Using "wireless" trading (some skill you get at a high trade experience level) the pilot can trade the refined goods again without the need of a Space Port.
i really like it thought i dont think that eve needs another mining vessel. what it really needs is an intermediett transport. something that bridges the gap between the <50m3 and the >700km3 something in the 100k-200k m3 range. this would be a good look for something like that.
Very technologically beautiful. XDDD The function and explanation for it and the overall impression is gorgeous in its believableness. That and...I find it somehow beautiful in a strange way.
Yeah, despite what you say about it being big and ugly, I would say it's quite picturesque, though maybe that's just me being strange. :3
I absolutely had to give you a shout out on this! Thank you so much for submitting such a stellar MINING ship, and I would LOVE to see this make it into EVE as the next mining/industrial based vessel. Wonderful, wonderful work!
Seeing a industrial in so many battle oriented ships is really refreshing. Only thing that ccp might not want this as all araund miner/hauler since it can create huge increase in script miners. Bu i would like to see a hi-sec refiner/hauler ship tho. I hope ccp shows intress in this design as much i do.
a moving refinery...the only thing that comes to mind is
"Aww great...here comes the freaking hunchback...now i dont get no ore >_< XD"
