Hey everyone.
Im curious to know whats the best mining ship i can get? am i better off just buying a battleship and rigging it with all miner II's? (thats as far as i want to go right now with miners)

Megathron can fit 7 mining beams, Dominix only 6. If i was to mine in 0.0 id prolly use a dominix as it can tank and mine at the same time.
For high sec mining the Brutix might be a good choice, it can hold 7 mining II's as well i believe and is a LOT cheaper then the megathron

Well the Dominix is a whole lot cheaper then the Megathron, at least 40-50 mils, it's also the better miner for low security systems since it tanks better and has the massive drone support...
Also with the new mining drones it might acctually mine faster then a megathron when you're using full drones, but I haven't done the math on that.

But seriously.. a Vexor is pretty good for a cruiser and brutix if you want that little bit extra power and megathron if you can afford a battleship

The Dominix is the undisputed champion of gallente mining, it can fit 6 miners and use an insane amount of mining drones, but if mining in low sec defenses in the form of a tank and heavy drones can be added too. The brutix is a cheaper option but it can only fit maybe 5 miners due to its low cpu and then you won't have any cpu left for tanking.

Noob... 
Just to shut you up, Brutix can fit 7 Miner II if you use your brains and fill Lows with Co-processor IIs

I'd prefer Bruitix w. 7 XeCLs tbh. Watch a DvD while mining... maybe a good kung-fu flick.

You can easily fit 7 Miner II's to a Brutix with very little cost. Works well in 0.4 and 0.3. Medium drones are enough to fend off NPC cruisers and frigs.

Brutix sounds like a nice idea. If i ever mine in .3 or .4 i'll try that out.
atm i use an armor tanked domi with the miner II's and what not, and havnt had a problem with any spawns yet. Even my crappy drone skills with 11 medium hammers can take out most spawns, and if i get a big bs then the heavies come out and do the job, and i can only use 11!

n00b, if you actually read things and thought about them before you went through the catasrophy of thinking you would realize how dumb that statement is. Sure you can fit 7 miner 2, but the point was made you can't tank in low security. Now for someone like you that mines veld in yulai all day sure the brutix is the smarter option. I'd like to see you solo mine crok with that turd though.
E-nuff flaming neways. Here's your plan. Fit 6 miner 2's. Most people use 13 drones unless they die hard dom fans. Find the dmg of the npc in the area, tank them. Even more specific, find a 3 cruiser spawn. Turn your tank on. DO NOT KILL THE CRUISERS!!! in case you are ignoring that DO NOT KILL THE CRUISERS!!! just let them wail on you. put out your mining drone 1's, they should mine 1 unit of crok each. If there are frigs in the cruiser spawn use your other drones (you are dumb if you just put tons of mining drones in) and kill off the spawn. Set up a insta jump, grab hauler, and bring in the goods. A mega can do the same thing but the drone versatility makes dom practical choice. It's also the easiest 2 kit. And fun as hell

Yea, and then it has CPU for tanking... Besides, running brutix with 7 miners sucks, because you're forgetting the human element. You know, the one that doesn't want to move ore every 30 seconds...

frigate immicus
cruiser vexor
battleship dominix
all 3 best turret number, good cargo, and pretty good defense for their class. Also quite cheap.
high sec fit mining drones, low sec combat drones.
But to be honest every serieus miner should skip battleship and go for barge asap. Same cost or less then battleship, lot more yield.
dominix 6 miner II and let s say 15 harvesters aprox 1100m3 a minute.
large barge 10 harvesters, mod stripminers with crystal around 1400m3 a minute.
both are rough numbers because drone distance and roid size can make a huge difference.
So dont start the yield discussion again please.

Strictly going by mining yield:
High drone skills and lots of money for drones - Dominix
Good Capacitor skills - Megathron
On a budget - Brutix (can't tank very well)
If all ships are fitted more or less the same with similar skills, the Dominix will need to control three more Harvesters/Mining Drone IIs than the Megathron to beat it in mining yield. While mining Bist/Zyd/Ark two point five Harvester Mining Drones does the same job as one Miner II. Thus, a Dominix with 15 Harvesters will be equally good at mining as an Apoc with 10 Harvesters. A Megathron lags behind those two with 5 less Ark/Bist/Zyd per minute.
Over all, I prefere the Megathron, however, as you don't really need mining drones - they really are a pain to be bothered with when you need to get out in a hurry.
I have no information what-so-ever about Modulated Mining. It was more than a year since I mined last.

Brutix is good for 1.0 to 0.5 mining, 9 medium drones can handle anything that spawns. 0.4-0.3 is getting a bit tricky, as cruiser rats can be a pain, especially if in pairs.
0.2 and below id recommend getting a dominix, 13 heavy drones can pretty much kill any spawn that comes along (BS spawns might require a weapon refit, kill them, mining refit, carry on).
The beauty of the domi is it can fit 6 miner II's and also fit a bit of a tank (shield or armor) which is generally enough to hold out while ur drones tear apart the rats.
So end of the day, it all boils down to where u want to mine really

I used Brutix in 0.3-0.4 with gr8 success. Also megathron. Mega use same amount of mining lasers, but good side is you can fit small remote rep on 8th high slot and repairs your medium or heavy drones. No sense using missiles.
But best ship for mining is .... APOC:) Im gallente but trained my self for apoc, mine gr8, have little low dronebay (8 medium, 8 +/- mining drones).
And dominix? Hmm, dont know why you love it for mining, less high slots then brutix or mega so less mining output, yeah have lots of drones but You use drones for less then 5km range or you risk loosing them when rats show up.
So go for brutix and when you have minerals build your self megathron.

Dominix is usually the ship of choice in 0.0 because it can tank the spawns all the way up to multi NPC battleships (with the right skills) and mine at the same time. If you're not mining with mining drones, and are mining alone, you can even chain that NPC battleship spawn at the same time using your drones.
