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
Warp Core Stabilizer I
Nanofiber Internal Structure I
Medium Shield Extender I
EM Ward Amplifier II
Thermic Dissipation Amplifier I
Adaptive Invulnerability Field 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 46s
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? |

The Miasmos isn't a mining ship, it's an industrial vessel for transporting ore in medium quantities.
To progress in your mining career, work on getting into a mining barge. Use the ISIS ship viewer under ORE ships for a guide here.
A retriever is a good choice for solo mining, and should only take a week or so of training.
Good Luck

n00b mistake on my part...so what do I do with this Miasmos? Should I keep it or sell it? Idk what to do with it :-/ |

Hey no offense taken...you're totally right. 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
Oh yeah and

I sit on my laptop at work all day and run EVE lol I am never bored to tears with mining because I am at work doing it so I can set it to mine and do paperwork and what not. I have external speakers set up so I can hear what the game is doing and what not...so Procurer you say? I'll check into that. I just need an ore bay bigger than 5,000m3. |

Yes it's an extortion racket, yes it's explicitly allowed, and yes you might explode anyway 
I have my clone insured and my ships insured lol they can want all they want and make a poopie in the other and see which one fills up first ;)
(thank you for the advice though, I very much appreciate you taking the time to write me all of that)

Shiloh Templeton wrote:OP, you may have bought the wrong ship, but you did a very good job of researching and fitting your ships. You're on the right track. That Miasmos will prove useful so be sure to keep it while you stay with mining.
Hey thanks man...but I can't take all the credit lol the forums are helpful for figuring out what is what and what goes where....but after a few hours reading about each ship and considering what I wanted to do with it, I determined all that stuff was the stuff I needed lol so I went and mined and mined and mined.
And then bought the wrong ship lol oh hey btw what will it prove useful for? Because I'd really like to start getting a return on my hefty investment lol like, now haha |
