I'm beginning to run low on isk so I've decided to mine a little..
I'm thinking about just fitting a wreathe or a scythe with a mining laser and getting to work.
But is there any real point mining ores like Veldspar since they sell for so little? What other ores are worth mining for isk? |

Veldspar is actually one of the best (if not THE best) ore for isk/hr. |

Scord is currently the best. do yourself a favour though, and don't mine in a wreathe (or other industrial) -- it's painfully slow. The racial mining frigates are better -- just mine into GSCs and pick the ore up when you've gotten enough to fill your hauler (or run out of cans, whichever) |

Velicitia apparantly didn't read the patchnotes.
Mining frigates disappeared / will disappear soon.
But she is right, DON'T mine with an industrial
And if you want easy isk, there is more then just mining.
Mine if you want to mine. It's not the only ISK generation, you can run missions too.
As for Veldspar, it's highly in demand by people who live in places where it's rare (Null-sec).

they're not going to be done away with til the big winter patch in Nov/Dec. So, as it stands, "use the mining frig for mining" if you wanna test it out...
alternatively, there will be the new ORE frig then.

Like I said, who cares  ... got lucky with the Minmatar one ...
not like it matters so much, since they'll all get replaced with the "ORE Mining Frig" this winter.

Giant Secure Container. Anchorable cans that can hold up to 3900 m3 of stuff (note, restricted to 0.7 and below). Last in space indefinitely (so long as you access it once every 30 days).
Osprey is by far the best "Mining Cruiser" in the game. It's on its way out too ... though might be around longer than the mining frigs, as it isn't part of the tiericide yet. |

The Osprey's the best of the "mining cruisers", but with Inferno 1.2, it's no longer as efficient a miner as the updated mining barges. It's good if you want to experiment, and it can be converted to a cheap logistics cruiser if you decide you want to move on to the mining barges.
And the common ores can actually bring in some nice ISK - as long as ships get blown up, common minerals will be in demand to build their replacements, and ever since Drone Alloys and Tech-1-Meta-0 loot drops got taken out of the game, Tritanium has been at a premium. |

The price per unit is not important. The price per m3 is, as you will mine a steady X m3 a minute (Well, except for the big ores. There you'll lose some units due to rounding)

Veldspar is rare in nullsec?
Last time I checked, I see multiple gigantic 100K units + Velspar roids.

When you are calculating value, you care about isk per m3, not isk per unit. Value of ores depend on local market conditions. A barge should be really easy to get into, if you can scrounge the isk. |

Frankly forget the frigates and get your self a retriever they cost peanuts and are hardy enough to avoid frigates in high sec.
Otherwise you will spending a long long time sucking those roids.  |

20 mil in dodixie. If he's in the price point for a cruiser (2 mil?) the retriever may be way out of his range. If the procurer didn't shoot up too high, it might work, though still might be out of his price point. |

Yet you have the option to mine veldspar and make some money or mine the nullsec roids and make way more. Guess what miners do.

Mining barges aren't that easy for new players to get into. The Industrial V requirement is a bit of a pain especially if you're only really mining to provide ISK in order to replace ships lost in your level 1/2 missions.
As much as everyone complains it's risky (and they're correct), I prefer to find a nice quiet belt out of everyones way, get a destroyer class vessle, ram it full of Mining lasers and Jet can mine.
Can flippers are about, but ive only been hit once so far (and was stupid enough to fire back thinking it was a mining frigate). Either accept the risk or get a couple of GSC's. |
