Is it against the rules, to take a Retreiver into a 0.6 Mining Belt, launch 5 drones, and use a Civilian miner to sit AFK for a very very long time, causing rats to spawn and have your drones auto-farm for you? |

Well its in high sec, relatively abandonned area.
Active mining my drones flog most things within 5-6 seconds, and i take no more than 5-10% Shield damage.
Only 2 or 3 rats spawn at a time. and its only for when i go out, nap or watch movies. |

Because buying a hulk is counterproductive if im not going to mine for a long time. i won't make my money back for the ammount of mining im planning to do, and high sec because i don't have a corp in low/null/WH |

Why do people seem to assume this is my sole source of income, the question was, while i am AFK (that means not at keyboard, elsewhere in RL, sleeping etc)
This was just a method to make some isk.
It'd net me about 1.6mil for 8 hours.
1.6mil for going to bed, i dont see how that makes me someone who is funding purely off sleeping. |

First you will get bumped out of mining range then once it has been ascertained that you are indeed AFK, in come the thrashers/catalysts to pop your retriever (and pod as well depending on who finds you).
In every way I can imagine, this is a bad idea. I hope you go through with it, however, as it is always nice to hear about AFK miners being ganked!
Thanks for the response, I'm glad i got 1 single person understand the question properly.
Everyone else suggested running missions.
Dunno about u J'Poll but i find missions while sleeping a bit trickier. |

So, it does look like he is just wanting WH space for the ISKies and not for the community or common goals or PvP. Good luck with that, or being AFK in WH space if you ever come into it. Again, if you want to farm belt rats (I don't see why you would farm belt rats in high-sec for an income of less then 1mil / hour), pick a ratting ship.
If you read my initial question, and how every response you have given so far is, i don't understand why you bother.
"Pick a ratting ship for ratting"
"Do missions"
"If you want isk, you must only want isk from every aspect of the game including corps/other players"
1. The idea was that mining would spawn the rats, and the retreiver has a large hold so the civ miner can run longer, (yes i have been corrected by someone who gave good advice)
2. The question specifically pointed out - While AFK or Sleeping. Running missions is the dumbest response anyone could conjure.
3. Isk is a common goal of 95% of the EVE Community, if i don't make it, i can't get anywhere, why would you assume this is my only goal? If i wanted a game where all i did was hoard currency, i wouldn't choose EVE where it can be legally bought with IRL Wallet.
Please think about what you post before you post it, and how relevant it is going to be to the actual topic, to avoid posting incorrectly again,

Slapchop Gonnalovemynuts wrote:Nice attitude there Mr. AFK... Well more power to you, however don't be surprised when your big AFK plans turn out to decrease your wallet instead of increase... EVE is very much a non-AFK game, and anything which you may think will succeed in an AFK manner has already been found and is actively punished by various members of the population. To some people there is nothing better than finding someone who is AFK and setting up a big surprise for when they get back. So be prepared to meet them first hand. 
Yea thanks again for the advice, not sure if sarcasm on the nice attitude peice, just annoyed that more veteran players twist my words in an attempt to make me look ridiculous and them the wiser. Sorry if it offended you or if he is a friend of yours. |
