i want to make this go faster. i want to collect ore quicker. how do i do it? I dunno were to find bigger mineing lasers out side the forge reigon.
Some people can get lots of ore quickly by them selfs.
How can i do this? Is it just mineing skill? Or something else?

Here's what i did to date:
-Train to mining lvl 3.
-Instead of mining with bantam, I trained to Minmatar Frigate lvl 2 to get a Probe.
-Buy 2 mining laser 1
-Train drone and mining drone to be able to control 3 mining drones
-Bought 3 basic mining drones
-Bought 2 basic cargo expander
-Find a 0.7 system where there's plenty of omber.
My cargo is now 465, so each run, I mine 775 omber.
For each 20,000 omber I mined, after refining I get 553,206 isk.
Take between 1 and 2 hours to get this 20,000 omber.
Good luck.
Good luck

you can buy lasers of market from cheap EP-S Gauss, Dual Diode, XeCL, CU Vapours, or Miner II's (all better than Miner I).
i hear astrology skill or sommin is out too. another 5% bonus to mining yeild.
so train mining skill lvl4, and astrology lvl4, and u'll have a 40% increase meaning your miner 1's would extract 56ore units a minute.
not sure tho.

Astrogeology. Astrology is about star signs, I doubt knowing the difference between Librans and Taurans is going to help you mine

If you are going to run 2 mining lasers u need to up the power grid on the Probe, but otherwise that's good advice

If you want to make mining more exiting, you could also decide to go to lower-sec space and try the slightly rarer stuff. Bad thing: They take up a lot of space, so you will need to make multiple trips for one refinable batch if you have a small ship. Good thing 1: You make more ISK per trip. Good thing 2: you will encounter NPC pirates on a regular basis- whether you want to try and fight them or run from belt to belt, but it will keep you on your toes in any case. Good thing 3: less ore thieves in low-sec space. Bad thing 2: more PC pirates in low-sec space 
(and of course this all complements the above posts!)

Best thing for mining is to do it in groups. Solo mining is not as practical as even killin npc pirates (even low level ones). If you get a good system and a good spawn rate you can make more from bounties and refining the loot. That said, mining does have its benifits, and i used to quite enjoy it. Here are some tips, im sure most are all known, but wont hurt to write them down.
One tip is find some friendly refiner to increase yer yield. Some players like myself will do it for free to help a new player out.
Another tip is to mine Omber. It has an excellent return on it, for its cargo capacity.
Mining Drones are an excellent way of getting a little bit more out of your mining.
Higher level mining equipment will also increase yield
Mining skills obviously.
Working as a team with 1 hauler + 1 security + 1-3 miners is a great way to do this. Join a corp or just find some like minded people and agree to share the rewards.
Getting Mechanic Skill + Hull Upgrade skills + Cargo Expander (low slot) will increase how much you can carry back and forth.
Setting up bookmarks on you warp in vectors will enable you to make much faster trips back and forth. Warp from the rock you are mining to the station and fly past the station by 10-15-20 km. and add a manual bookmark. Set correctly bookamrks can cut your round trip time down by enough that over a period of time you will take in more ore / time unit.
Use large secure containers. Fill them up with ore , then switch to a ship with more capacity and haul the ore back to the station. Rinse and repeat.
