Before the patch it was possible to use the Thorax as quite a nice miner, i havent had a look at the new stats for miners and such.
The question is if the thorax can be used as a miner, and if so - how should the setup look?
Thanks for your replies.

i still use my thorax just as i did before the patch. 5 miner II's, some cpu mods and cargo mods, 1 named medium shield booser, survey scanner, and ofcourse drones.
cap drains to 50% when i use the lasers but i can still mine on forever

Not in 0.0 space tho, but that should be obvious by now...

I've noticed this amount of cap drain too, even in a BS.
I can only assume cap recharge gets slower the closer to 100% you get. You learn something new every day :)
It's also nice to see that there's a -60% cap usage on some of the frigs. I think amarr could do with another ship with this bonus though, all we have is the tormentor. Other races have more than 1 frig including lvl 2 frigs

mining ships can still be used for mining. if u having problems keeping the capaciter up, just use a few cap boosters and/or batteries.

5 miner 2's on a thorax?
Pretty near impossible unless you are using 3 cpu mods in which case you either dont have the cap to keep them running, arent using a 10nm mwd to get u out of trouble or your cargo capacity is crap

5 miner 2s 2 co processors, and 3 expanders
mid slots vary
and yeah , cargo isnt too much of a problem, i active 3, then 30 sec later activate the other 2, and have the harvesters here an there drop loads in.
i hover between 1/4 cap and 1/2.
Team work is essential... It gives the other team something ELSE to shoot at!

Okay, perhaps either I'm just one of those random anomalies to this whole thread here, but with miner II's having a 90mw drop per cycle, per laser, on the cap, the standard recharge rate cannot keep up with that. After about 5 minutes or so, my cap will run dry. I can sucessfully keep 2 running, with the cap holding at about 65 to 75%. Mind you I don't have some of the equipment that most of you seem to. I have to run all five low slots with cpu mods to have enough cpu to handle any defensive mods(shield boosters, etc).

i guess its all in the skills then. I can keep 5 miner2s running indefinately, but i have trained up the +cap and +cap recharge skills a bit, and i have elec 5 and eng 5, so fitting them is fairly easy.
