Whats the best ship Guys,
Mining Barge ? I mean i need to get in there and out right ? taking large amounts of ore, or is it a better idea to use a BB and come back with a hauler for the ore (taking a risk in an unarmed hauler?) plus is,nt the MB good for other things like ice harvesting etc ?
What do you think ?

I think you'll die screaming within minutes if you go into 0.0 by yourself with this ship.
It might be fine if you've got some stuff insta b'marked to avoid rats, but all it would take is one PC pirate sneaking up on you cloaked and whacking you within seconds. And it seems that miners/indies are the target of choice these days for pirates.
Honestly, if you must mine alone in 0.0 do it in some form of battleship. I know a lot of peeps use the apoc, and from what others have told me the tempest does work (but you gotta take up more cargo hold space for ammo). Even then you really should have some escape method planned as a BS outfitted for mining can get whacked fast in 0.0 when PC's outfitted for battle show up.

Apoc is the only way to go for this.

The Dominix is by far the best. Lots of defense, and lots of offence (enough to goink battleship spawns) even with mining lasers, and it doesn't need CPUs to fit its setup.
Oh and it's half the price of an Apoc.

Dominix if you're going to sit there tanking a weak spawn. 7500m^3 drone bay + 7 low slots = teh win.
Ospreys are nice too, but you need at least Caldari Cruiser 4 to make it worth the effort, and even then, you would be pretty limited to ninja mining.

Whatever you do - make sure you pay attention to what was mentioned above and find a nice cruiser spawn (or whatever you can tank indefinately) and you'll be happy. (well - as happy as you CAN be mining anyways...) -- Thread Killer

Find out what rats r there. Find out wha damage they do. Get an apoc, put 3 armor hardeners 1 large accomodation repairer,8 mining lazer t2 and depending on what r gona be fightig as many lrg drones as u can pack in it.
U will never be able to take out a bs pirate or a good cruiser pirate for that but u r mining in 00 space and profits should make up for that. rare occurance assuming ur in protected alliance space.
otherwise just tank rats a nice spawn eg up to 3 cruisers and mine .. get a large hauler too. so u dont have s\to keep changing ships assuming u dont have an alt.
als make spy bms 150+ km above or below belt so u can see whats there before warping in.
if u wana mine in a cruiser < osprey > mine nexto someone chaining a rat. or u gotta ninjamine. ¼______________________¼

Nah domi is imo way better for this sort of thing if your on your own.
6 miner 2's meds full of cap recharger 2's, 2 LAR and a hand full of hardeners.
With semi decent skills you can keep the miners and 1 LAR running forver. With good skills you can run both the LAR's and your miuners forever.
I can honestly chain a weak BS spawn while mining solo. Just learn to hold your drones back untill all the rats target you.

If you're on the low budget I was on you'll do well with a medium barge and a bestower. Keep one of them somewhere safe, as close by as possible, while you fly the other. Jump out with the barge as soon as rats spawn, drop the ore off somewhere rat free in system, jump into a pod and check the belts, grab barge and mine at a safe belt until you've got another load. Rinse and repeat.
Fortunately, this kind of business is a short lived affair. After a few hours of it I had the remaining materials I needed to get my BS. |
