If you are gonna mine in 0.0 systems lots of the pirates Warp-scramble you so a Microwarpdrive in your cruiser is handy if you dont want to fight it out. Training drones to level 5 is essential then get Drone interfacing so you can use more than 5 drones. I take a Vexor with 6 Harvester drones and 2 Wasp Heavy Combat drones when I am mining in mid-sec systems. I prefer to buy my Megacyte and Zydrine as mining for Isogen is MUCH easier!

if your serious about mining, get those skills done first - faster mining = not hanging about to get shot in the first place.
So, Mining and Astrogeology. (L4 of each is nice)
Your now set for High sec mining, so time to increase productivity and take that first step towards protection.
Drones. Get Drones L3, Scout Drone L1, and mining drone L4.
Now get a 2 mining drones and 3 warriors. In a frigate (imicus can hold 5 of the above drones) you can safely mine down to 0.4 in empire space.
Over time work on upgrading your ship and modules and drones as your skills get better.
I personally use a Vexor, 1 CUvapour, 3 EPS gaussian, 8 Adv. mining drones and 8 Hammerheads. I solo 0.0 quite happily, but generally dont bother unless we go as a group as i spend more time travelling than mining.
With the above load out and skills i can single handedly mine nearly 450m3 per minute, so with no expanders i fill the vexor cargo hold in one cycle. so 4 good expanders are needed or a few indies running the ore back to station.
If you have any specific questions, send me an EvEmail...

Is it actually worth it to mine .0 though? Ive been contemplating on doing this for a while but it seems to me that mining high security systems with 5 miners and your max drones equal to your skill level would be faster. I normally do the jettison into space, scoop with indy in the same system.
It seems to me of your in .0 space, that is 0 space with the good ore.. you cant jettison ore because comining back for it in an indy would be suicide and the cargo hold of a cruiser would not be worth it.

There is a big difference in a 0.0 Empire solar system and a 0.0 non-Empire solar system. You could easily mine a 0.0 Empire Solar system using a cruiser with a 4 or so heavy drones as backup. Still you'd be having a hard time mining there without being bothered too much of the time. Other than that you will only find the zydrine and megacyte ore in non empire systems and that is where the fun starts. Drones alone will not help you there, even in a battleship you will be hard pressed with only mining lasers. Even so how will you get the ore out? Mining in a 0.0 non-Empire will need at least two ppl to do it efficiently. Other than that there are ways around the problem with rates attacking you in some of the larger astroid belts. Drones are primarily useful up to a point after that they can only be used in addition to other weapons. Let me finish it with this. Learn how to use drones effectively and you will have a big advantage in battle however remember that there are some pretty heavy rates out there that like to eat drones for breakfast, lunch, diner and as desert.

low slot: just expanders med slot: MWD, AB, survey scanner hi slot: miners
In 0.0 space non empire, warp to belt full AB + MWD to escape the pirates. Bookmark intresting spots more then 150 km away from the initial pirate spawn spot. Warp to these spots and mine into a can the most valuable ore (bist/crok) you can find till you have full indy. Warp to station and pick ore up with Indy. Once you have a bunch of precious minerals, move them to empire space and sell them.
