I currently get 81m3 per drone on my Orca and I park it in a .9 sec system for no rats. It's absolutely fabulous for work where I can afk mine for hours or when watching TV. I just reset them to new roids every time I get a chance. I generally fill the entire Orca 4-7 times a week. (121500m3)
You'll want the following 5 T2 mining drones 2- T2 Mining drone augmentor rigs 1 T1 Mining drone augmentor rig Drone interfacing 4 A good tank
Drone Interfacing 5 and you can pull 90m3 per drone
For lows, some people say cargohold expanders. I go with either of these depending on the situation: A) 2 Inertia stabilizers- just to be more agile B)Reinforced Bulkhead II + Damage Control II For when I need the extra EHP for gankers
Cargohold expanders don't make sense because I'm never out in a field that long and It takes long enough to fill up an Orca as it is. In a .9 system the only thing you're going to see is bots anyway. The obvious bot I reported is still chugging away, warps to 0 on belt, goes to pyroxeres, mines it, then warps to station. |

Nothing like an inattentive player, especially one that advertises it on the forums. It was one of the things I was scared of, but Orca's are tough but not impossible nuts to crack. Another thing working in my favor is my play time. It's fit with a 250,000EHP tank, so you will probably need friends.
Now if you or CCP can just take care of those bots that plague and my roids. |

this means afk or tabbing out to pvp toon means your up time will NOT be always at 100% The only problem with your assumption being that npc rats don't spawn in 1.0 and 0.9 security systems. I happily afk mine millions of m3 per month thanks to this mechanic. I'll probably take a break to let the heat cool down from gank squads.
I don't need someone to come with his closest 30+ friends to test my tank. |

Yes, especially if you hit veldspar. Just stick a drone on each roid and play your other game, like WoT, You can also use 2+ monitors. I use one for WoT for one and the other for mining/surfing the internet. I hope I can get a 3rd monitor next year. |
