It seems to me none of you have ever run a mining mission. They are prehaps the most fun missions i've run. When i lived in NPC 0.0 i ran them from time to time (L4s) and i can tell you that you aren't simply going to warp in and mine the Mission Ore (they cannot be reprocessed and are never your common ores) without a struggle generally.
You will definately need good defensive skills and know how to shake aggro off your drones. And yes, there are frigs that will scram you from time to time so if your drones die... enjoy your self destruct sequence or you'd better have an alternative such as a corp mate to get you free.
Kudos to CCP for some of the most fun missions i've ever run.

Stop kicking sand out of my sandbox and play nice. I almost got a splinter in my behind.
There is no right or wrong ways of doing anything in eve. There are only efficient and inefficient ways. I advise most new players to get a vexor or some drone boat type cruiser for L1-2 missions if they want to salvage it. The drones kill, and use the hi's for tractor and salvage. All we can do is guide the new player, it's up to them to observe us and question why we do what we do in order to obtain greater efficiency. I've instructed new players who excelled, and those that were just stone stupid and couldn't succede if you did it for tthem.

Yep, and anyone that read my responses need read no further. Unless you have actually ran mining missions and know what they pay vs combat missions then those individuals have no basis of knowledge to speak about the subject and should not detract from the original posters inquiries. L4 mining missions can pay you the same as L4 combat missions upon LP conversion (isk isn't far off either sometimes.)
Yes, they are worth running. Enjoy your game.

No, this thread was about MINING MISSIONS, not MINING IN MISSIONS. What the hell is wrong with you people?
.......
Then ... the thread got jacked by the ongoing feud between Lady Go and myself ... which is unfortunate but ... *shrug* ...

But - as I said - what the OP was really looking to do if you read his post - was do some mining in mission space - and thought that that's what mining mission were - which they are not.
I did read his post, i brought it back full circle for you to read. I think i see why LG and you butt heads. But i must say, LG has more valid points.

hi all,
i started a new char mainly to mine with it (to rest from pve missions and salvage;P) and i have a question: are mining missions really an option to look on it, or as a miner just mine and don't do any missions?
All the man/woman wanted to know is whether it was mor profitable to simply mine asteroids for isk or if mission running was a viable isk making enterprise. I think you read way to many statements into things, or perhaps i read way to few
