Miner II's only require mining lvl 4, completely accessible to any newb who wants to get money the hard way.
On the other hand, mining drone II's require mining drone operation 5, a 10+ day skill to train.
Why not make the two equally accessible to all?

Ok lets make mining laser II need mining lvl 5 then   .
Seriously now, I see where you want to go with this and frankly I agree, mining drone II should be as easily (or as hard) accesible to people wanting them. If you are really bugged about it I suggest submitting a bugreport(you might not consider it a bug but it is a balance bug if you can call it that)

mining drones have been ultra inacessible for as long as i can remember. Oh, except for basic mining drone! I feel its a legitimate tool of the miner and ultra-neglected (unless you wanna buy those ultra rare 100mil drones off escrow). Thank god the II's are starting to be released!! The price is a bit of a bummer - hate to lose a stack of those in a rat raid he he!
Drone 5 is something most people get eventually anyway.. I'm still waiting for a 30 day skillkit to finish, so 10 days seems like a dream ; )

Lag. Imagine if every miner immediately went out and stocked up on those drones. They'd all make lots more money, and lag up the server real good. Until theres a good solution to the lag caused by drones, and drones, and drones :) then I wouldn't expect anyone to make them easier to use.
Not to mention I can't remember skill requirements ever going down for anything.

So if the reason for that silly training time is lag, why are mining drone Is not also lvl 5? In fact, why aren't *all* drones lvl 5? Or is it only mining drone IIs that cause lag?
There's nothing to do with lag....T2 mods always used to require lvl 4 of the related skill to use, excepting for ships. Then T2 guns came out and RCUIIs, and ever since then, CCP have used whatever skill requirements they wanted. Old mods used to give 50% improvement over T1, now that value is arbitrary as well. The skill req is most likely purely because they want to force players to specialise and invest more SPs into these things. After all the longer you take to train the same skills, the more subs you pay.

Agreed.
As a part time miner myself, I hate only having access to Basic miner Drones (which are pretty lame if you ask me) and Miner Drone II's have this stupid long skill training needed.
Give us miners a break. Mining is tedious enough as it is, WITHOUT having to train mining drone operation to level 5.
This is a complete annoyance!

Thats what mining drone 1s are for... if you want the T2 drones, bite the bullet and train them. 10 days isn't that long...

I support the motion!
Your Heavy Neutron Blaster II perfectly strikes Serpentis Chief Sentinel, wrecking for 660.4 damage.
