Yes, the mining boosters in a POS were not at risk, but those of us fielding those safe boats usually had very expensive assets very much at risk with little defensive capabilities. The risk versus reward analysis has been slanted. Reaction has been interesting and predictable. The Rorqual in null or low and the Orca in high sec will need to be huddled up with the mining vessels in a belt or anom. In highsec, this means the end of the around the clock POS-parked AFK Orca booster. With the new extended grid sizes there was some hope we could park the Rorquals at the edge of the grid, fit a cloak, and hunker down if neuts appeared. Turns out, not only on grid but within relatively close proximity to the boosted ships. Consider me a union rep for multi-boxing miners.ĬCP has decided, and we knew it was coming well in advance, that all boosting should be done on grid.

That sums up what follows about the upcoming changes to Eve Online that will affect mining.
