Survey scanner is crucial for minig barges because they will waiste 3 minutes of laser time if choosen wrong rock. Kryos and can mining can be some help here. But you will spend much time flying back to Ardene to unload your cargo.

Because no newbee ganker will go there and pro gankers hunting exhumers, not bonused warp core stable frigates like yours. Also you have almost zero chance to get your venture get ganked in systems like Boillair. Ganking can be avoided by flying cheap ships and watching local chat window for any yellow or red players. Yes, I believe one combat drone is enough. a survey scanner is necessary (given my still quite limited isk and everything else I could spend it on). Is there any reason for me to equip a survey scanner at the level of mining I'm doing. The EVE Uni fit includes a survey scanner (which I have not fitted). I assume that 2x hobgoblins would be as useless against gankers as 1x hobgoblin (i.e., if someone wants to gank there is probably not a lot I can do in this ship so it is a risk of undocking at this point). [quote=Dylan Finch I am inclined to replace one with a mining drone. I have essentially the same question - is it necessary (assume I am not going to ninja loot)? Is salvaging wrecks in high sec a way to make a reasonable return in terms of isk? Am I missing something here? I'm just now sure that, at least for now, a survey scanner is necessary (given my still quite limited isk and everything else I could spend it on).Īlso, the Eve Uni fit includes a salvager. My Venture fills up pretty quickly (usually 1 or 2 rocks) and then I head back and sell it. Right now I just head out to a belt and look for whatever ore is selling the best on any given day.

I have x2 hobgoglins right now that easily take care of any rats (with minimal damage done to me), so I am inclined to replace one with a mining drone. 7 areas) but it seems no difference (in terms of ore) than the. I have been mining in high sec the last day or so (.6 or. It sounds like gas mining is out for some time. I have a ton of questions but I'm about 4 days in the game now so. Do not use other mining vessel untill you find out, where and how you can mine safely.Īgain, thanks for all the replies. TL DR - Newbie miner fit is ok, if you are afraid of gankers stay in high sec and plan to replace your Venture with Procurer. So you lose 10-20 milions, where miner will lose 30-40. You need only 1 or two catalysts to kill them before CONCORD come and kill you. Retriever, Covetor and their T2 variants are whole other story. Because CONCORD will kill 30 milions on their side and they will kill only 29,9 milions on miner side. It can be fited so, that gankers will need 3+ catalyst to take one down in high sec and than it is not cost effective. It is also reason, why occasional (not professional) miners keep mining in Procurer. So unless your ship is not worth 10 milions - do not expect entertainment. Typical ganking destroyer is worth 10 milions. Gankers will gank your ship if they will kill more ISK, than they lose. Orbit the asteroid with AB when NPC start hitting you. So I would keep one mining drone and one combat drone in space. Newbie miner fit is ok, if you stay in high sec 1 combat drone should be able to clear 2-3 rat in belts before they will chew through medium shield extender. Gas mining in venture is good, but for 3 day old char it is far away future.
