What's the best mining setup for a Caldari ship (any class).
Thanks

Most effecient bet will be a Scythe. Fit:
HI 3x Miner II, 1x Heavy Missile Launcher
MED Medium Shield Booster, Roid Scanner, some hardeners or cap modules.
LOW CPU mods if needed, Expanded Cargo hold. |

Given that the Scythe is a minmatar ship I doubt that will be helpful.
Substitute the Osprey for the Scythe in the post above. :)

Lets get a little more specific than Osprey/Ferox.
Osprey:
3 Miner IIs, 1 Arbalest Assault Missle Launcher
1MW Afterburner, 1 Large Shield Extender
3 Co-Processor Is
Now do keep in mind kiddies, I have Mining 4, Astrogeology 3, Caldari Cruiser 3, and Refining 4 so I get the most BANG for my buck.
Right now I get 138.24 Ore Units per Miner II and I have 3 of those equipped and running for a total of 414.72 Ore Units per Cycle.
Until I got my Medium Mining Barge with two Strip Miner Is on there, this is what I used EXCLUSIVELY for mining. Then I used a Badger II for hauling.
The Badger II has:
1 Miner II and 1 Small Plasma Smartbomb (just for fun, I don't just sit there and mine, too boring!, and the smartbomb doesn't help too much, only if enemies get too close while warping)
10 MN Afterburner II, Medium Shield Booster I, Secondary Parallel Link Capacitor, Industrial Capacitor Recharger, Cap Recharger I, Basic Capacitor Recharger
3x Basic Expanded Cargohold.
Even with all of this I get 117 m/s with no AB on and around 250 with AB II on. I also get 9182 m3 of hauling! :-D
For a Ferox, it is up to you. Been soooo long since I used a Ferox for mining, I don't remember how I had it set up. Basically I know I had 3 Miner IIs on it but not at the same level that the Osprey had due to the bonus on the Osprey.
Hope this helps, let me know if anyone has any better ideas for this!

Actually, with 3 Cargo Expanders (18%), your Badger II will get just UNDER 10k. 9919.8 m^3.
My Osprey is sitting at my local starbase, just waiting for me to pick it up... weeeee.
[EDIT] And though my mining skills are not very high (only got Mining 4) and I don't have enough skills to put all the gadgets I'd like onto my Badger, my Badger II can carry 12619.8 m^3.

i'm pretty sure i can have 11 000 m3 with my badger Mark II with no named expand, maby with some giant, but i'm not sure about that.

You can get 11k with Industrial 5 and Expander I's.
ex P-TMC
If you think you can do a better job, go find yourself a datacentre to host a box, get a copy of Visual Studio, and STFU.

Yeah, I just haven't felt like paying more for the expanded modules yet.  Next on my list once PE gets up to around 4 in about 2 1/2 hours is to get Mining to level 5 so I can use Modulated Strip Miner IIs and start training Deep Core Miners.
And if people like mining, and industry, and love working together with awesome people along with some PVP and mission running, come check out Archon Industries at www.archonindustries.org.

better train astrogeology, unless you can fly a barge there is no way you can fit stripminers on a cruiser.

Actually a better set up than the above for a Caldari mining fitting is either with a Moa or a Ferox.
Moa:
Hi:
4xt2 miners
2x HM launchers
Med:
1x 10NM MWD
1x Med sh. booster
1x Industrial cap recharger
Low:
4x t2 CPU
Ferox:
Hi:
Same as moa, but 1 extra t2 miner
Med:
1 x med. sh booster
1 x L sh. hardener
1x 10NM AB
Low:
4 x t2 CPU
With the Moa setup you're working just a little bit more effectively than a small mining barge. The Ferox setup is that much more better

my best mining fit for osprey for mining (ninja) in 0.0 :
High : 3 miner II, empty
medium : 1 roid scanner, 1 medium clarity, 1 cap rech (barton)
low : 2 * 'stoic' core (named WCS), 1 cargo expander
so i use BM always.
I fit 2 WCS to be sure to warp out, and the medium ship booster help.
I've fit the cargo expander cause i've caldari cruiser 4, astro 3, mining5 and always 1 laser stop each minute without the expand.
never loose an osprey during mining party in 0.0

Currently using the following setup:
3 Miner IIs, 1 Assault Launcher
EM/Kin hardeners
2 Small Armor Repper, CoPro I
With Mining 4, Cruiser 4 and Astro 3 I get around 148 Units of Ore per Miner.
This is more than a Ferox with 5 Miner IIs because the bonus on the Osprey gets me beyond the yield of 5 Miner IIs without bonus.

At Cruiser 4 and 5 the Osprey will pull in more than a Ferox.

Caldari ships all suck at mining, get a dominix or an apoc :P

how are you guys keeping up your cap? 3 Miner 2's sucks a lot of juice.
My setup is 3*Miner II's, a Assault Launcher, med shield booster, 3 co-procs and 3 cap rechargers (as well as 3 or 4 med scout drones)

at most you guys seem to of given little mention to the bonus on the ospray which effectivally at lvl 5 makes 3 miner 2 mine as mutch as 6
Ospray Stats
if that helps any
and btw the med barge is still just ahed of it in mineing stakes due to the ship bonus of 3% mining yeild per lvl i think it is

With Mining 4, Asto 5, Cruiser 5, My miner2s on my osprey run for 180m3 each of ore per cycle.
There is no better cruiser for mining. The Domi can mine an equivalent amount, but is significantly more durable.

Can anyone update us with some mining setups since RMR? Thanks! n00b + veteran sets are all welcome of course.

Well I spent the time training up so that I could use the medium mining barge Retreiver, which in my case I had a bunch of the base skills already.
Since I want to be an major miner type, the medium barge was the best bang for my training time.
I also recommend getting the following skill up:
Mining: +5% per lvl to mining laser yeild
Refine: -2% per lvl to waste when you refine at station
Refine Eff: -4% per lvl to waste when you refine at station
Astrogeology: +5% per lvl to mining laser yield
Mining Barge: +3% per lvl to modulate strip miner yeild.
I have trained up the following lvls:
Mining lvl 5 = +25% mining laser
Astrogeology lvl 5 = +25% mining laser
Mining Barge lvl 4 = +12% mod strip miner.
total +62% yield.
I have also trained up the required still for the secondary processing skills, which help much with refining the ore and cutting down on the lost minerals.
You will also need to train each secondary processing skill for the ore you want to mine to lvl 3, if you want to use the t1 crystals in the modulate strip miner.
See this Linkage for the mining crystal requirements.
With the current skills and setting I am pulling in 1023.75 raw ore every 3 mins. This is times two, since I am using 2 modulated strip miner II's.
This equals 2047.5 ore every 3 mins, which is 682.5 every minute. Once I get the mining barge to lvl 5, this should become ~1100 raw ore every minute. 
Well help that helps out, I would recommend going for the barge as it is the winner in ore mining.

Anybody got an idea as to what the mining upgrade actually does. I did a quick test and it hardly seems worth using them.
The details for mining upgrade says it reduces cycle time for mining lasers whilst increasing cpu usage.
This was in retriever. i have mining lvl 5, mining barge lvl 3, astrogeology lvl 4.
mining upgrade online, strip miner 1, 180secs, 3090 viscous pyro
mining upgrade offline, strip miner 1, 180secs, 2945 viscous pyro
That works out to be a approx 1% increase in mining yield for the same cycle time.. which hardly seems worth it. Any ideas? or is this what we get for struggling to get the cpu to even use the mining upgrade on retriever?

Math = Wrong.
1% of 2945 is 29.45
3090 - 2945 = 145
145 / 29.45 = 4.92% increase.

I'd suggest a Hulk with all the relavent skills exhumer 4 and Mining Foreman 4 in a gang mining I get 1509m3 per minute, +56.2m3 per mining drone 2 per minute, 5 drones = 281m3 per cycle added.
This is with those wasteful tech2 crystals which you shouldn't use :)
As well as two mining upgrades fitting in low

I have an osprey
for this you need mining upgrades 2 and electorics 4 and med drones
3 Miner 2s
1 Servey scanner
2 Mining Laser upgrads 1 Co-processor
I've trained Mining 5, astro 4.
I get 477 units of ore per cycle with set up using drones for defense in .6+ systems.

Hi All
This might be getting OT, but it seams ppl are mentioning Barge and mining upgrades..
I have a covertor, with 3 stripminer I's., 1 Mining upgrade I in the lowslot.
now this give a nice output, about 1019 units for each stripminer, but more want more.. any ideas on how to get a second mining upgrade fitted? would be a shame to waste that extra low slot :) problem is, I need 20 more cpu...
Skills: Electronics lvl5 to boost cpu, mining upgrade lvl4, lvl5 would take me some 20 days more, anyone know if that would give me the power I need? or it will be 20 wasted traning days? :)
Anything that can be fitted to med-slots that boost cpu? I find none :-/
with Kind Regards

I'm trying to get my skills up to use an osprey to mine. Once I get there, what kind and how many drones should I use for defense?
Thanks a lot! |
