Anyone know a good fitting for one? I would like to get as much as possible while training to get my ORE ships...But, i have NO cash and i can't buy a big container to keep my ore in...so its pretty time consuming at the moment...
At the moment, im using Vexxar 4 Mining Laser II
4 Exp Cargo Holds (17% each i think? They are "named" ones...)
Nothing in my mid slots
4 Hammerhead 1's
2 Mining Drones.
Anyone got any better ideas? ----------------------------------------------- Everything...has a price...

I like using a tractor beam in the 5th high slot. That way my jetcan follows me around wherever I go.
You can fit a mining laser upgrade, but it takes all 3 of the other low slots using named coprocessors.
Afterburner and survey scanner are nice mids to have.
Try and get more mining drones - The ship has bonuses for them. I use 5, and only switch to hobgoblins when rats show up.

Thanks for responding.
I used more attack drones simply cause i don't have alot of cargo space, and no money for a container.
Also, I seem to have the worst luck with EVERYTHING and their spacial cousin spawning on top of me to kill meh.... ----------------------------------------------- Everything...has a price...

More Drones. I used to mine with a Vexor before I got my retriever (and now Hulk). The vexor actually does pretty well but you need mining drones. Drop the hammerheads too... You'll find that hobgoblins get to the targets faster and drop them faster. Just be sure to be close to your drones so you can scoop them instead of recalling them.
Don't bother with a mining upgrade unless you're in an op... and even then, be careful because you'll need to stagger your mining lasers to make it work.
Train those drone skills though... You want to have max drones flying simultaneously...

you can carry 20 of the small drones (mining and scout) in the drone bay and can only deploy 5 with max skills (and nothing else will go in that bay)
belt rats spawn about every 15 minutes, time them and pull in the mining drones and deploy the combat drones

I assume this is high-sec, in which case Hammerheads are too big and slow - hobgoblins will do a better job and take up less space.
Get Drones 5 trained ASAP and get 5 drones out there mining - drag them back and send the combat drones out when necessary.
Also if you're short on ISK, don't just sell to buy orders - that's people like me offering low prices. Sell your ore using "Advanced" on the sell window. Set a price just below the lowest sell order.
Train Salvaging and as soon as your drones kill the rats, put a salvager on the wrecks for some rig parts. Again sell your salvage using the advanced option for better prices - it might take a bit longer, but it's worth it. Some parts sell really cheaply, but some of the good ones will fetch a couple of hundred thousand each.

yes, 1. train for the iteron industrial ship, 2. a) join a mining corp (optional) edit: i see you have a corp, ask them for cash... b) jetcan mine, and for the love of god, move to a low traffic system (less than 10 people "active last 30 mins" on the map) c) ask some miners if you can join their fleet for bonuses (optional) 3. name the jetcan so it last 2 hours in space (unnamed last only 1h) 4. swap to the iteron and haul the ore back to station
tips: 1. dont buy the procurer, its only 1-2 more days for the retriever 2. dont buy the covetor, its only a few more days for hulk (exception if you only have half the isk (or less) needed for hulk) 3. use mining laser upgrades (T2 asap) 4. train for modulated strip miners ASAP (and T2 crystals) 5. go here to see what is the most profitle ore to mine 6. use mining drones (T2 asap) and use them on the asteroids within 3-4km of your ship for max effect

I was just about to send you cash for some jets, but then I saw your character is a bit of a pirate, so I didn't . In my view you'd make more cash mining missions than mining asteroids. As ing says, you don't need jetcans in any case if you move to a low traffic system and keep yourself to yourself.

Go to a 0.9 or 1.0 system that's off the beaten path and jetcan mine. When I was first starting off mining in an Exequror (because of the huge cargo space on the thing) I found a tiny 1.0 system out of the way and jetcanned and then hauled in my mammy whenever I filled a can. The 0.9-1.0 sec means that no rats will spawn and you're much less likely to loose cans to flippers.
I started doing the above in mid-June and met my corp through doing that and by now I'm flying a Hulk and am the go-to guy for organizing WH mining ops and invention; it doesn't take long to get a good foothold if you work at it.

Well, it was a while back for the piracy.
As for the corp, its a long since dead corp. I am the CEO and no ones in it...so im about to dump it...
I guess ill just mine randomly, do runs back in forth, and hope i get my ore ships soon, and hope i have the money to buy it. ----------------------------------------------- Everything...has a price...

Is that still true? Since the price of trit crashed the most profitable ores can no longer be found in missions. Plus there's the extra travel time you always had with mission mining.
