Well...since no one is helping...What about:
2 X High - 1 Mining laser + ??? 4 X Med - No idea 4 X Low - 4 Cargo expanders....

"Well...since no one is helping..." 9 minutes? Calm down!
How about.. 1x Mining laser 1x Smartbomb (my advice - leave the slot empty) Medslots - pack 'em with afterburners/1 MWD Lowslots - cargo expanders, or reactor control unit I's if you're gonna go for the MWD. |

depends...if you want max speed, go for 4 reactor controls in the low slots and a MWD in the mid, leave everything else blank. For regular hauling I would suggest 4 afterburners and 4 carg expanders, and for hauling in dangerous areas make it 2 or 3 AB's with 1 or 2 shield boosters. Ofcourse that is only recommended for getting through NPC gate pirates, I wouldnt want to be in a bestower near anything more dangerous than a Serpentis Guard. In all situations the high slots are pretty much useless. Slap a mining laser on and help out your crew while you haul I suppose.

Edited by: Darsk'hul on 30/07/2003 14:28:48 MWD can't be fitted in med slot. Bestower has only about 32MW of powergrid.
Overdrive are good, but they reduce cargo (which is a mess for an industrial)
4 containers for low slots.
4 afterburner coldgas arcjet for medslot.
Then, after putting 4 AB in med, there's not much powergrid left for high slots ...
But, there's always a little power left for a nosferatu 
Smartbomb need too much powergrid ... Perhaps advanced miner (CU or Dual Diode) |

"MWD can't be fitted in med slot. Bestower has only about 32MW of powergrid." It's possible. Base grid 30MW, engineering 4 36MW. Then add 4 Reactor Control Units and you've got 52,7MW. |

If you want pure hauling power, get cargo expanders in the low slots, afterburners and one shield booster in medium, and don't even bother with a high slot. If you are hauling you will not be mining, so no miner is needed, and you shoudl nto be sticking around to fight, so no weapon is needed.
If you are solo mining, you want one mining laser (best you can get), a civ shield booster (which you can run eternally with no trouble) and roid scanner for medium, 2 afterburners and 4 cargo expanders. Go to a 0.8 system and find a nice big omber rock, set up to mine, turn autorepeat on with the civ shield booster, set it running and let it go on its own.
If you need to make speed hauls, get 4 ABs, 4 overdrive modules, and go. With that config my Bestower does 850 M/S and still have in the mid 2,000s of cargo space, and it runs to the gates pronto.

RCU are low slots, but i've supposed that low slots are already fitted with cargo expanders ... In this case, impossible to fit MWD.
But else, you're right. |

For hauling/mining: (Level your acc control and Ab skill) 4 Expanded cargo, 4 AB's, Miner I, Smartbomb (this will be unequiped but can be turned on if anooying small frigs are bothering you at the nearest base), and most importantly, use large containers to load your hold....with this I can get over 9000 cargo. Oh ya, level you indy skill again to get the UBER cargo bonus. The Bestower is ridiculously too good for a level 1 Indy.

Simply that higher level Indy's are inferior to the bestower. I can fly almost all Indy's in the game and for the cost and level of skill, the Bestower is by far the best. Levelling the indy skill gain 5% per level of extra Indy skill.

Drewbicus,
Go to a 0.8 system and find a nice big omber rock, set up to mine, turn autorepeat on with the civ shield booster, set it running and let it go on its own.
How do you go about doing this. Other than repeatly hitting your shield booster, I know of no other way. Please enlighten me. 
Thanks, Kyanna

"turn autorepeat on"  Right-click the item, click "Set autorepeat on". |

In my beast I personally keep a small cargo can with any unused items of the following list:
a small shield booster a mining laser 4 afterburners 4 overdrives 4 nanofibers 4 cargo expanders
all of this stuff takes up hardly any room, and you can switch it out as you need it. Going on a 0.0 run with a small load of 1000 cargo but worth a small fortune? Put on the shield 3 ab's and 4 overdrives. Minining in a nice safe .9? put in the expanders and 4 afterburners. Doing a long run in empire space? Put on the nanos and 4 afterburners and you get both a speed and cargo increase. My way of picking my modules for hauling when I'm unsure what I'll need generally involves putting on all 4 expanders, dumping in all the stuff im hauling, then swapping out the expanders for +speed items until i have the fastest possible setup, while retaining enough cargo space to carry what I loaded.

AFK mining setup:
Highslot: 1 Miner Medium: 3 Afterburners 1 Survey scanner Low: 4 Cargo expanders
Use the survey to find a nice fat rock that fills all your cargo

Edited by: Stoned Chaplain on 31/07/2003 20:23:12 That second post was funny... 9 minutes later and he is ****ed. Oh yeah, don't use a Bestower for mining, thats retarded. Even a Punisher can fit 3 mining lasers. But I guess if you don't want to play and want to mine Scordite or Veldspar all day, go ahead.

Look at it this way...
Option #1: Log off and sleep / work / run errands. Net profit 0 ISK
Option #2: Hit a 0.9 system in an indy, turn on a mining laser and start sucking up plag or pyro, then go AFK. Net profit 200-250k ISK (and a VERY small chance of losing the indy to a griefer)
#2 won't exactly put you in a battleship any time soon, but it DOES pay a lot better than #1...

Personally I would fit:
Hi Slot = 1 Miner Med Slot = two afterburners and a shied booster Lo Slot = 2 cargo expanders and 2 warp overdrives
That gets you a speed of 225kms and a fair amount of cargo space

The spare highslot gets fitted with a shield transferer for helping my miner-mates when they get attacked. This eats power for the ABs, but is handy if we're in low-sec systems. Not sure of the specs of a Nosferatu, and I doubt that'd be any use while mining.
