because ore is worth like 17 isk/unit for veldspar.
that is the reason, and that alone.

Edit:
Oh and as a side remark, you make more ISK with 2 mining ships with no boosts compared to your current setup. IIRC it's around 4 miners before boosts pay for themselves, at least in the case of an Orca.
considering an orca's links gives you just over a 50% boost in yield, as soon as you get to 3 accounts it's paying for itself. |

for future reference. compared to a solo miner, boosts give you somewhere just over 70% extra yield i think. however when comparing an orca boosted miner to one being boosted just by fleet boosts (so like, 15% yield from a mindlinked squad leader etc) it drops to just over 50% which still makes it worth getting the orca as your third pilot.
which is nice because it means the point for adding an orca is always 3 pilots (unless you don't have a mindlink because you're cheap) |

I'm pretty sure that more miners die each day to suicide ganks than have been destroyed in 10 years from awoxing. And no one is suggesting that ganking be removed. In fact, no one is suggesting that awoxing be removed either. Just that it has consequences. Find something to have a meltdown about that has a hint of reality to it. Mr Epeen 
we're talking about becoming rich... suicide ganking ain't cheap. |

if you're ganking miners for their rocks, no amount of "doing it right" will make it particularly profitable. |

The rarest and most sought-after ore in the known universe. A sizable nugget of this can sweep anyone from rags to riches in no time.
