Seriously, don't waste your time with Highsec mining. Join a new player friendly corp like Karma Fleet or Pandemic Horde and start playing the game NOW! There are no skills you need to train up, you are ready right now!
ive seen alot of other people make this statement above about dont bother mineing
with out miners, you would be screwed... how are you all gonna get the ships and modules with out miners and industrialists??
anyway... mining is an important part of the game... dont listen to those that tell you otherwise...
no you wont get crazy rich, yes at times it can be boreing as hell (ive often told my friends that its a netflix operation in EVE)
yes, its something to do, and in the past in EVE, i found it to be an extremely social environment (not so much nowadays it seems), miners got together, mined together, someone would provide orca boosts, ect... was how i met many friends
as far as set up, this is how i do it when casual mineing
acct 1 = orca
acct 2 = skiff
acct 3 = skiff
-stored inside the orca ship hanger is a DST (i use a Bustard)
when orca close to full, then acct 2 swaps skiff for DST, does 3 runs to unload the orca, then back to mining, because the orca is such a slow pig of a ship, i found i can do the 3 runs in slightly faster time with the DST, and then get back to mining, the whole time the orca still there and acct 3 still mining, you dont need to get all crazy about the mathamatics of the most volumn of ore over period of time. the numbers and spreadsheets will make you start bleeding from your eyes and ears. Just mine, the most effective way for YOU and your play style and your set up.
for me, when not mining, those accts perform other functions, for mission running
acct 1 = marauder (or other ships possible)
acct 2 = noctis (or command ship)
acct 3 = marauder (or other ships possible)
and can do PI, and exploration ect
you have lots of options, just play the way that is most fun for you |
