I choosed the way of a miner with a new char, sadly i cant change to this char in this forum. However i readed the mining guide but after at the point where i bought the frigate it becomes intressting, and there the guide ends. :( I mean the frigate has space 400 m3, 441m3 with two cargo upgrades 1, that means i make about 20k isk with 1 mining cycle. That takes ages to get enough for a mining barke not to speak from the improved attributs skills. The best solution would be a industrial ship, sadly those ships arent available for trial accounts. Any idea how i could go on with the char without wasting days untill i change my account?

Get a buddy in an industrial. You mine and put ore into can, and he moves ore to station.

Teamwork is the best way, but a single industrial should be able to handle the mining yield of several frigates (still, the mining frigates rocks for their cost). Find few mining friends, and don't make always the same one in the industrial, sometimes, you can swap roles, it breaks the reprtitive task of mining and hauling (a bit). It may avoid the mining operation to end in a sleeping operation...
You can also do it alone, mine a cycle, put it in a jetcan, but as you will be on your own, you may encounter ore stealers that will replace your can with theirs, come in a big ship you can't handle and watch over their friend in industrial while they steal your ore. If you can't handle the ships there, don't try tou get your ore back, you will get a criminal flag (if the can you open and take from is the one created by the stealer) and then they can shoot you freely (and they will rip out your mining frigate). -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !

The beginning is very slow. Finding some friends would help a lot and would make life easier in general. Firstly I suggest you look for a system you want to make your home base. I suggest systems with a high security state, because the belt rats (npc pirates showing up occasionaly ) are not as tough as in lower sec systems. It has to has a good amount of asteroids ( roids ) as well to provide targets for you mining lasers ! Systems with not too many people in are better to reduce the possibility of ore thiefs. Take the surrounding systems in consideration as well. Maybe check the Market for demand. Now either have a friend haul for you while you mine into a Jettision Can ( pay him with a part of your ore ), or fly to station each time your cargohold is full ... but this will take a lot of time. Mining with a frig to get into a bigger ship will probably take ages solo, so I suggest you look for a Industrial Corp and join them. They will most likely equip you with a better ship for mining and the needed equipment as soon as your trial account turned into a real one. Miners are always on high demand exept for the pvp only corps, and even they need supplies. Good luck with your career. If you have further questions feel free to join our Channel : Malkalen and ask away.
