EVE Online
Hints:
------
Submitted by: RM
More asteroid mining minerals:
------------------------------
Asteroids that have a lower letter in the alphabet have more minerals.
Better skills:
--------------
Increase your "Learning" skill first, as this will make learning other
skills faster and results in better bonuses at each level.
High End Mining Ship Rating:
----------------------------
* Retriever - solo, best cargo hold but slow m3 rate bad defense.
* Covetor - solo, low cargo hold but best m3 rate bad defense.
* Procurer - solo best defense, medium cargo hold medium m3 rate.
Tech 2 versions are pretty much the same but with more perks and better
m3 yield.
I have nerver used command ships to mine so cant say if they are better
in m3/min.
I just know the rorqual is the best mining ship but this are not recomended
for solo players because they are an easy target in null sec, you need
corpmates willing to save you if you get attacked.
“Best” is situational. But if you’re asking this question, you should go for
the Procurer/Skiff. They’re the tankiest, aside from Command/Capital ships.
The Retriever/Mackinaw are meant to stay on the belt longer, with their large
ore hold, but you’ll be a target since you’re FAR easier to destroy than the
above.
The Covetor/Hulk mine the fastest, but their small hold generally requires
them to work with an Orca (or such) to dump their ore into, and are also the
juiciest targets on the belt that gankers drool over. You can also jet-can
mine, but that has it’s own risks, as well as still being left with a large
amount of ore to move.
The Orca is a Command Ship, and generally meant to support the above ships
by providing boosts, protection, and a drop off point. But they can also mine
solo with Drones, although not as effectively as other ships that are receiving
Boosts. The only reason you’d solo mine with an Orca is if you wanted to go afk,
checking back now and then to reassign your drones to different asteroids. In
theory, it’s an effective way to still make a little profit while you attend
to RL things. But it’s also dangerous. You could be jumped by 20 Destroyers
while you’re away and unable to react (such as sending out your powerful attack
drones,) or you could be bumped away and have your drones stolen.
I’ve never owned a Rorqual, but apparently they used to be able to strip mine
a belt in record time. I’m not sure how they are now after the changes, but
they’re beasts in every category, except, understandably, speed. But one thing
about them is they can’t enter Hi-sec. So if you dream of piloting one, you
have to expect, and prepare for, people who desperately want to destroy it,
and you’ll get no help from Concord.
