If mining sucks so much (it does), then just go shoot stuff instead.

When your kids get out of line sit them in front of the computer and make them mine as punishment. They aren't allowed to do anything else until they have filled the hauler 'x' number of times, 'x' to be determined by the severity of their misbehavior.

hi sec mining as a solo miner with hauling alt

When your kids get out of line sit them in front of the computer and make them mine as punishment. They aren't allowed to do anything else until they have filled the hauler 'x' number of times, 'x' to be determined by the severity of their misbehavior.

When I gank miners, I pay close attention to Barges with an industrial ship parked beside it.

It's like a 2 for 1 deal, I can (and have before) gank both Barge and Industrial and snag both PODs.

Please........keep it up!

lol 8 hours out of your life you ain't getting back

Well, 8 hours in traffic, 8 hours in a job you may not like, 8 hours spent in a waiting room for Dr. services.

There are alot of ways spent being useless I can think of worse ways to spend it.

But yeah, I am gonna sell the barge and focus more on combat instead, if ever I need to grind a bit I will keep a procurer parked in the hanger collecting dust, excuse me I'm off to buy a mission boat.

That's cool, if you can't afford to fly it....that's why I fly cheap, sure I won't be getting maximum isk'es per hour but neither will any gankers, yes that's why I fly cheap.

There are more profitable things to do here in eve I just wanted to grind for a BS build and and at the end of eight hours mining marathon was quite surprised how meh the amounts we're.

This sounds like a great ideal....but theres that EULA, ehm, I would never break the sacred code.

I can see I'm getting filthy rich...not.

I'm sure I could get a bit more out of the ore but I just spent ~8 hours mining out a mission total ~take home pay, 44 million isk.

8 hours, spent mining in a covetor fully fitted for yield and mining drones, after reprocess I could sell outright for ~47+

Granted I let cycles run out but had an alt running ore to station so it was very much hands on.

The point, those that say hi sec is getting rich with the push of an easy button needs their diapers changed cause they are beyond full of it.

Average hourly take 5.2 on average, my skills are very good, T-2 strips with T-2 mining crystals, T-1 mining upgrade, T-1 mining drones. No implants.

And missions pay better but not like that's awesome awesome, it's a living wage.

So no, no nerfs should be considered what I get and many others here in hi is not WOW but ok bordering meh for many activities it's just knowledge on where to obtain isk'es that's makes you an above average earner in hi sec.
that and skills.

I'm not even gonna answer any trolls my numbers are as they are, I know cause I'm looking at the dam n thing in my hanger.

Disappoint




When you said combat, I thought you meant real combat




Get yourself 10 Drifter-class Rifters and throw yourself into low/null

The other day I mined with my alt for about 400mil in about the same time....ore price. Reckon it'll be worth a fair chunk of change when I process it all.

Retriever bay of about 25k = 4.7m per load. 50x2 loads = 470mil.

Nah, 1 on 1000 blob warfare stinks, 1 vs 1 or 2 in a brawl no jamming now that would be cool, just wonder why people are sooo addicted to KM horsing I really don't care about any KB, people who have to win all the time is not a fun opponent reminds me of this guy who would knock over the table everytime he lost at poker, first it's funny after that it's stewpid.

It adds up when you are:

Highly / fully upgraded for mining
Excellent / perfect refining skills
Refining at station with minimal or no tax
Getting support from mining foreman booster
Don't let your cycle go to waste
Mining the high end ore/ice
Using the ore to produce your own stuff and sell them
etc etc

Profits adds up.

Straight up mining with poor skills/improper fitting etc etc will yield poor isk. Those that say they are getting rich... either have never seen profit bigger than high sec mining or have multiple account with barge / exhumer with orca support.

use a mackinaw for semi afk mindless mining it has the largest ore hold of 35,000 m3

I've been mining since July of 2009. My current team is one Orca and one Hulk. I make about 55 million a day, and it is usually less than 8 hours.

When I gank miners, I pay close attention to Barges with an industrial ship parked beside it.

It's like a 2 for 1 deal, I can (and have before) gank both Barge and Industrial and snag both PODs.

Please........keep it up!

Why do people still do this? It's been shown time and again that and Orca is only worth it when there are at least 4 barges on field. Park the Hulk and Orca, grab two Macks, and watch your ISK/hr ratio go up.
