Again, making ISK AFK without risk is bad game design. The Sentryboat makes a pittance compared to the AFK Mack (current SISI build) and runs the risk of losing money on the project if he gets bumped in the first few hours of the session.
Yes. I know what AFK means. "AFK" Mission ships allow you to alt-tab away for a little bit, but you have to keep an eye out for spawns. They don't allow you to actually leave your computer without risk.
The current SISI Mack build costs too much to gank, so it won't be ganked, so sitting it in an Ice belt and wandering away for 45m at a time is perfectly viable and safe. That's not good game design. You can't bumb AFK miners out of range of roids / ice? How much is that Mack pilot going to make when he is 40km from nearest roid/ice?
How much Isk will he lose? The AFK Plexing boat loses ~5m ISK in drones if he gets bumped. And he doesn't make as much isk as the Mack pilot in the first place. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

Who needs to be Cap stable? Your tank only needs to last long enough for your Valks to kill stuff. Or you can fit a small buffer (easy to do in either the SISI Mack or Hulk, rats not being known for their alpha) and warp away for a Drake. Either way, the Skiff doesn't have any usefulness in 0.0 EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

Ok, that assumes: 1. You exit GCC right next to your next target. 2. You are ganking Solo in a Meta fit Catalyst (which will not kill an untanked Hulk* in .5 space) 3. Magical loot fairies looting and salvaging for you. "Just one character" 4. You never run into a tanked Hulk that fails your gank (which means.
*530 DPS * 20s = 10,600 Damage. Untanked Hulk has 11,149 EHP vs AM. Even Cargo rigged, a Hulk survives that by 200 EHP. Only if you add expanded cargoholds do you become the prey of the solo meta fit catalyst.

You're obviously afraid that these AFK miners make more isk/hr than you.
And btw, I meant 1 ganking character. You can have as many looting characters as you want.

Again, your ISK estimate is laughably wrong.
It takes some time to set up a gank, so there is no way to do it 4 times an hour on one character. You need an alt to scoop loot, so you can't profit at all with one character. You need an alt in an orca once you go -5, so you can't gank at all with one character. You need at least 2 meta fit Catalysts to kill an untanked Hulk, so you can't gank at all with one character in a meta fit catalyst.

you do realise what ever happens with prices; miners don't give a **** because as mineral prices goes down so does the prices of things we want to buy. you're mining and hauling for the same amount of time no matter what our minerals are worth.

Except for T2, Faction, Meta, and Rigs. And plain T1 stuff doesn't drop as fast as minerals because the overhead (amortized BPO cost, factory slot cost, etc) takes a larger percentage of the purchase price at lower mineral prices (though I doubt the affect is particularly noticeable, so I'll give you T1 items as a wash for miners).
So yes, if Miners never buy T2, Faction, Meta items or any rigs, the Isk/Hr is irrelevant. What's that? A Hulk is a T2 item, you say? Really? EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

Keeping the Hulk still has the opportunity cost of its current market price.
Anyway, there's no real link between minerals and various items whose price is determined by factors entirely unrelated to mineral prices. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

That doesn't change how opportunity cost works.
I've got a large amount of stuff that I'll never sell, but I understand that the opportunity cost is the current market value, not the price I paid for it.

So have anyone else noticed that a max yield Hulk (3 MSMII, 2 MLUII, +5% implant, 5 Mining drones II) along with a perfect Orca boost (or Rorqual) will yield more ore per cycle than it has cargo hold space? Meaning you will need to stagger your mining lasers and be unloading ores roughly once every minute.
This is of course if they don't make ore holds affected by expanded cargoholds / cargohold optimizations, which chances are they wont.
From my tests last night:
3x MSMII : 4538 m3/cycle +5% implant: 226 m3/cycle 5x drones II : 562 m3/cycle (drone interfacing IV) total 5326 m3/cycle
Orca boost + drones: 8659 m3/cycle (69.976%)
Rorqual boost + drones: 10,041 m3/cycle (98.9189%)
Using the following for boosts formulas: Orca Link Bonus = 0.025 * 5 * (1 + 5 * 0.1) * (1 + 5 * 0.03) * 1.5 = 0.3234375 Cycle Time = 180 * (1 - 0.3234375) = 121.781 Yield Bonus = (1 + 0.15) / ( 1 - 0.3234375) = (1 + 69.976%) Rorqual Link Bonus = 0.025 * 5 * (1 + 5 * 0.1) * (1 + 5 * 0.10) * 1.5 = 0.4218750 Cycle Time = 180 * (1 - 0.4218750) = 104.062 Yield Bonus = (1 + 0.15) / ( 1 - 0.4218750) = (1 + 98.9189%) |

fatal error, you're adding drones. drones do not dump all their ore at the exact same time your strip miners dump theirs. a hulk's max yield is somewhere around 5600 depending on what you're mining and how much you lose to truncation. hence there's more than adequate space in the hulk's ore hold.
