I've thought about trying out a few mining missions, because I already spend a few hours a week mining, but it's in free-for-all-belts. Why not throw those hours at mining missions instead?
The problem is, I think I might get told to do gas mining missions or ice mining missions, and I've never done that before (except I once hauled on an ice mining op).
What do I need for ice mining, or for gas mining, as in skillz and modules? I already own a Hulk, and can easily afford a Mackinaw and Skiff if needed.

For ice mining you will need ice harvesters and the fitting skills for them. For gas you will need the Gas Harvesting skill and you can use one harvester module per level in that skill. Gas harvesters need turret slots, so you will need a cruiser to fit them. -------- Ideas for: Mining

Edited by: Marcus Xavier on 11/06/2009 22:15:48 It's well worth training both skills to 5, especially Gas Harvesting (which will allow you to use 5 Harvester II modules). Ideally, your gas harvesting ship should have at least 5 turrets, a large cargohold for the gas, and enough defenses to handle one or two cruiser-sized mission rats. If memory serves, the ISK and LP rewards are roughly similar to that of an encounter mission. Once upon a time, they even had a small quantity of good ore/gas other than the mission ore/gas. But no longer... Sigh... |

Does anyone know roughly the max cargo hold needed for each of the level mining agents and their missions? |

Not sure exactly but IIRC: lvl 1-2k, lvl2 2-4k, lvl3 2-9k lvl4 45k ore / 4.25k gas / 20k ice -------- Ideas for: Mining

Hi Salpad
I have got the answer to you ice mining and what you need. I made a new guide that will show you every think about ice mining. Link to post here
I still need to do a gas mining guide later on and im not to into gas mining yet so i couldn't tell you much about that.

The gas mining missions are terrible, takes a while to skill up and if you're not going into gas mining full time, it is a waste.
The ore mining missions are ok, usually have standings and LP comparable to some of the combat missions, the one where you mine 47 Green Aster-something is great, takes only a few seconds to mine.
Though I'm thinking there might be a misunderstanding here with you talking about belts. Most miners when talking about 'mission mining' aren't talking about finding an agent to give them a mining mission, but accepting low level (1-2) combat missions that don't have a gate (so hulk can get in) and simply mining the roids that spawn in the mission. Break Their Will is the usual one thrown out there, lots of veld and scord.
If you don't complete the mission (killing the last spawn, destroying the objective, etc) then the roids will respawn after downtime so you can farm them again and again, saving having to scan belt after belt looking for roids to mine. |
