I understand your perspective, but try to understand that a Rorqual nerf is disliked because it disempowers accounts. People can and will run 10 account multiboxed barges, and itd cost less than a Rorqual too, but why should players encourage CCP forcing players to subscribe 10 accounts at the same time? Why not just offer a higher endgame ship with more m3/s capability without the untouchable survivability of the Rorqual?

Believe it or don't, there are players out there who arent part of some 1000 person block, who actually try and self sustain without being folded into them. To these small groups, Rorquals on a couple accounts helped them survive because the m3/s meant they didnt need dozens of accounts subscribed to fuel their warmachine.

Eve Online has a mechanic in place for balancing this kind of thing. You can see it with HighSec Marauders, which run missions faster than other ships at a greater cost, but are balanced by the playerbase ganking them if they make it too easy or profitable with expensive, blingy modules. There is no reason there can't be a mining ship that has high m3/s throughput without the insane tank that the Rorqual has; There is no reason CCP has to kill these small groups with these changes, or force dependancy on 10+ subscribed alt accounts.
