Comparing the Rorqual before the April patch release and after. See how much lower the mining yield is as well as the huge reduction in the Shield Boost bonus.

Please Note: The stats presented in this video are based on my current pilot skills and ship modules used. Your numbers may differ from mine.

The Rorqual is still the best capital mining ship in EVE Online. However, after this patch, your yield is going to be significantly lower and your tank is going to be a lot less.

Patch notes pertaining to the Rorqual:

Balancing:

* Reduced the bonus to shield boost amount provided by the Industrial Core to 60% for T1 Industrial Cores and 75% for T2 (was 120% and 140% respectively)
* Reduced the base duration of the PANIC module to 4 minutes (was 5 minutes)
* Increased the bonus to mining foreman burst strength provided by the Industrial Core to 30% for T1 Cores and 36% for T2 (was 25% and 30% respectively)

Drones:
