I'm using the 5000m3 of ore bay it has plus the 50.00 amount of cargo hold and my mining lasers are running 111m3 per 60s, right?
OK! I went and bought a Miasmos (46,000m3 ore bay!) and fitted it with tons of goodies like:
Medium Low Friction Nozzle Joints I
Medium Polycarbon Engine Housing I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Damage Control I
Warp Core Stabilizer I

Small Tractor Beam I (another miner I laser wouldn't go on it)

Right? But lo and behold...'ol Miasmos only does 46m3 of ore every 60s so I went from 222m3 per 60s to 46m3
I spent 8 million isk and spent all day jumping through stargates collecting this setup and I am only roughly 1/4th as efficient. What did I do wrong? Why have I lost 176m3 per 60s?
Because of a simple fact. You failed to read that the ships intended purpose is.
The Miasmos is an Ore HAULER, not a mining ship.

No offense to OP.
But CCP added ISIS, which clearly outlines what ship does what, and what progresses after what....and still people make mistakes.

I acknowledged n00b mistake on my part....lol might have to get my eyes checked to make sure I can read and pay closer attention. I really appreciate everyone's help though....I mined for days to garner up the 8 million isk and just spent it all on the Miasmos lol .
Would have been more food for laughs if you came here with same question but then added Rorqual instead of Miasmos

But CCP added ISIS, which clearly outlines what ship does what, and what progresses after what....and still people make mistakes. J'Poll - when did you get bitter? Legit rookie question. When I started I bought an exequrer and wondered why it was a crappy combat ship (when it was a high cargo / semi mining cruiser at the time).
Well.
A. Forums is filled with advice on how Industrials arent mining ships.
B. CCP added a VERY clear feature on ship progression and what they are useful for called ISIS.
C. Tutorial actually does mention ISIS.
And as mentioned it wasnt towards the OP in general as he already replied he made a newbie mistake. But more in general on how people can still make such an error by not reading and using the tools provided.
Its like buying something from IKEA, getting the screws, manual and a crappy screwdriver with it...Yet pick a hammer from your toolbox and wack the screws in.

Because I'd really like to start getting a return on my hefty investment lol like, now haha Hauling. Specifically moving your ore from where you mined it to where you want to sell it
This.
Or look for a regional market where demand for the Miasmos is higher and sell it for profit.
