Well I must say im happy I got my 120 mil ISK back last night from my strip miners II, and here is why.
Strip miner II with crystal. used on the right Roid ofc.
Yield -> 1024m3
cycle -> 180 Sec
Strip miner
Yield -> 945m3
cycle -> 180 Sec
--- NB: the numbers on the yield my be wrong with +5 -5 - cant remember excact numbers - but excact numbers is besides the point - whats interesting is the lag of differnece in yield. I would need to MINE A LOT to make the investment worth while - The math for figuring out the yield before mounting the gear on my ship was to complex for my ant size brain - so I just bought it and mounted it - and what a big laugh I had - making a sell order after a few test minings -> and the 120 mil ISK for the 3 miners are back in my wallet again.
To all the serious Power Miners out there - you have been warned

yeah, it's the same with the normal miners, it looks like they are tons better, but after comparing the stats a bit, and some testing, i found, that the difference is really tiny, and kind of not worth the absurd money it takes to get the miners, not mentioning how much of a bother swapping the HUGE crystals everytime you want to mine something else is..

when mining low ends its hardly a diffirence, but when mining high end (16m3 ores) its makes a little more sense to use them
strip miner II: 64 units of high end ore/cycle
strip miner I: 59 units of high end ore/cycle

Base, before skills:
Strip Miner I: 540 units
Mod Strip Miner II with Crystal II : 360 x 1.75 = 630 units
With Mining 5, AstroGeology 5, Mining Barge 5
Strip Miner I: 540 x 1.25 x 1.25 x 1.15 = 970.3 units
Mod Strip Miner II with Crystal II : 360 x 1.25 x 1.25 x 1.15 x 1.75 = 1132.03125 units
Looking at individual ores:
Ark/Bist/Crok/Spod : 60 / 70
Dark Ochre: 121 / 141
Scordite: 6468 / 7546
Mining Arkanor, at roughly 2mill for 200 units, each cycle of 3 mins earns you 17%, or 100k isk more with each miner of tech II equipment, with a set of 3 on a Large barge we are talking 100k per minute extra isk.
to make 120mill from this difference requires 1200 mins of mining, or 20 hours.
20 hours mining and then 17% pure profit extra per cycle. That seems rather reasonable to me.
Looking only at lowly scordite, it would take a little longer. I would estimate around 100 hours, maybe a little more.

Lalla is right. Don't mind Veld and Scord and expect your investment to be worthwhile. The Carebears of 0.0 are the ones who will profit most from these. |

Oh I see :) because the carebears of 0.0 are all really poor and have a hard time making ISK - so lets make it a bit more easy for them ...... |

Because people started arguing about why the profit % increase should matter for different ore types.
