I saw it today in some sys near Jita (can't really remember the name of the sys), a guy mining veld in a Hulk. Is it so profitable? |

It's approaching absurd. Every 1 isk per hour you make mining veld you could make 5 isk per hour mining jaspet or something. I think he was just screwing around. "How long will it take me to completely mine this ginormous asteroid?"

He was probably minding his own business and the roid smacktalked him, so he was like "OMG veldspar nub I come back in hulk and pwn u" and veldspar was all "lolz like ur nub arse can afford a hulk, let alone fly one".
Apparently no one told the poor veldspar that hulks are inventable now, and that nubs can make a hulk alt in a month or so... Why there should be a breathalyzer to login to Eve:

You need veldspar to get mass amounts of trit, because ships take mass amounts of trit to build. If he is a builder, then ya mining veldspar makes perfect sense, that or a macro miner mining in safe space. There is virtually no risk mining veldspar unless you are war dec'd.

NO IT DOES NOT. WHY DO PEOPLE PERSIST IN THIS. If you make more isk/hr mining something else, mine something else and buy what you want. I'm sure based on the low profitability of veld you can buy the trit you need and hire a freighter to get it for you.

A single Mothership takes over 1 BILLION units of tritanium.
Even if you add up all the miniscule amounts of trite generated when someone reprocesses a small shield booster, or the elements in the new regions, or the trite you get when you refine the middle level ores, you need a hell of a lot more than that to supply the universe-wide demand.
Macro miners are 1 supply channel, and people mining Veld are another.

If he's like me, he probably plunks down at a bookmark and mines EVERYTHING within the 15km sphere of his strip miners before moving on to create another gaping hole in the belt.
Nothing quite as satisfying than to completely remove an entire belt from the game for a short time. :)

Perhaps he doesn't care to risk his 500mil ship to go to 0.4 for jaspet, I know I don't. If you're gonna take the risk to go to 0.0, jasptets not worth it.
Gratned, I'll admit, it is pretty funny. Wether or not he'd be better off just buying the trit whilst mining something else, its a fair bet he's trying to build something. Probably a new hulk owner though. If he was near the jita area, well, you're lucky to find any roids worth mining that will outlast 1 laser cycle.
But yeah, as rediculous as it is, T2 strips w/ t2 cystals on a hulk mining veld will get you enough trit for a bs pretty damn quickly.

This is most likely the case. Also sometimes if I'm only paying 30% attention to my mining I like the veld roids cause they tend to be big enough that I dont have to worry about popping them as often.

Mining anything in a Hulk is profitable.
When I first started mining I would go and cherry pick the kernite but after awhile you come to realize it is better to just strip a belt clean. It is actually less hassle. And I can always unload trit for a desent profit within 4 jumps you can't say that about other minerals all the time.
But to each there own.
But a true miner mines everything for the sake of mining. Not cherry picking and money grubbing or spending your days staring at a gate hoping some comes through it.
Ah well back to the rocks
