2 million per hour? reallllllllly.
two miner IIs on a navitas will give you... 2 * 60m3 * (1 + (mining skill level/20)) * (1 + (astrogeology skill level/20)) * (1 + (gallente frigate skill level/5))... for a maximum of 375m3 ore per minute (which is kinda tricky because the cargo capacity for that ship is 371m3 if you stuff 2 cargo expanders on it)
obviously, having mining, astrogeology AND frigate levels at maximum while still flying a lowly navitas is pretty silly, so i'm going to assume this pilot has only the minimum level to use miner tech 2s. At mining level 4 and say gallente frigate level 3 that person can mine about 230m3 of ore per minute -- Thus each hour accumulating about 13,100m3 ore per hour assuming 5% inefficiency in the actual targeting of roids...not including actually putting around in a navitas to a good location (but we won't include that in the time calculations)
Of course, going back and forth with each load to drop off at station would be plain silly...i'm assuming the miner in question would eject the ore into a jetcan" and after about an hours work flying back to a nearby station to return with an "indy hauler" (Assuming a gallente Iteron III) to transport the accumulated ore to a refining station nearby. Which would probably take about 2 trips and 10 minutes extra.
Assuming said miner has about level 3 in refining that would give roughly 1.2 million isk per hour if he or she turned the ore into minerals at a refining station and hauled it to the best market in the region. Taking about an extra 10 minutes - ONE WAY
I'm assuming the ore would be either Pyroxeres, Omber or Kernite. (since anything else more lucrative would be in low sec space and i see a very short life for any n00b unwise enough to mine in player pirate country)
Besides, that extra 30 minutes (haulage) lowers one's profit margin of an hour's mining by about 33% to about...ohhhh...say 800k isk/hour which is only 13k isk/minute
Personally, there's alot better ways to make 13k lousy credits per minute than that. What exactly was your friend bragging about, anyways? going to 0.0 space in a NAVITAS to mine for megacyte? roflmao
 grrrr stupid typos  edited this about a dozen times. lol
