A miners isk/hour will be less affected by the inability to find belts to mine in high sec compared to the issues involved with mining in low sec.. When figuring out your isk/hour you need to remember that doesn't simply include your yield per cycle, but includes risk, hauling times both to station and market, isk loss from not using max yield setups, isk lost using cheaper mining ships, drones, orcas / rorquals, mindlink implants, mining boosts, losses of ships, delays being trapped in station and so on.

You will also be "cherry picking" anywhere you're mining be it low/null/high/whs and instead are better off determining the maximum possible yields and then subtract based on the situation and coming up with an average.


Hulk yields, orca boosts, and yield amounts generated using EFT. M3 to isk values from fuzzwork.

Hulk with perfect skills, perfect orca + mindlink, mining drones II fitted for yield will yield 3073m3/minute in a perfect situation, 184,380m3/hour.

Overall low sec mats beat high sec but that's assuming you are using a max yield hulk and implants, are able to use mining drones, never have anyone come into system causing you to stop and also have an orca and 1.5B isk implant floating in space/POS hauling from time to time.

If you were to drop the 2 MLUII for tank you would really be making only

Dropping mining drones also decreases the isk/hour another 8% - 12%.
