Indeed.. I've got 3 mining alts in a Hulk and 2 Covetors sitting in a backwater .5 system that I log onto 3 times a week to drain it of all ore.. The builders in the next system/s pay top rates for it all so I make loads of no risk isk mining basic ores in empire.. When I'm feeling frisky I tuck them into some all t1 equiped ospreys and go ninja mine in low sec..

When we hit a belt (Hulks mainly) we strip everthing in .5 and up, and are more selective in .4 and below.
I will be honest,, every once and a while out in low sec,,, when I see a Veld of biblica proportions,, I turn my lasers on it till it pops.. just to see how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie-Veld pop. (about 5 cycles on the really big ones,,, which is way less then I thought it would be).

Edited by: Draconyx on 03/04/2007 23:37:57 Just did a check on this when I saw someone quoted jaspet @ 5 Mill an hour in a hulk seemed low.
Okay here you go.
T1 Strip Miners [Too lazy to use the T2 versions) (2) Mining Laser Upgrades Mining Rate per laser not great (1198/180 sec)
Spent an hour never moved, stripped everything. Kernite, Pyrox, Scordite & Veldspar (NO JASPET)
6.5 Million in an hour. Used evemon and pheonix Industries for the quick price check
The belt was random and not alot of Kernite or Pyrox. (Some belts are heavier in some ores this one was fairly average of what you see)
Hope that helps explain why you see hulks mining Veldspar and everything else :)

I make my alt mine veldspar and whatever else is in a 1.0 space when i'm running my combat missions. It's something safe for her to do that makes money. Having her sitting docked waiting for me to return with stuff to refine or waiting on a factory to finish up is just a waste when she can be making some "free" isk.

Perhaps he needed 10 million units of Tritanium for 5 Drakes and didn't want to use his Covetor? 
Or maybe he wanted to get the painful task of Empire Mining out of the way... Mining in Empire hurts my brain. I don't know how Chribba does it.

I mine everything in range of my lasers. Quite often there's plenty of veld. When the belt is clear of everything, I move on.
Currently veld is the least profitable ore. But it's not worthless and it is plentiful. A good hulk pilot will make ~110k isk per minute mining veld and 175k isk per minute mining scord.

EVE needs miners too, without miners you would have no ore wich means no guns for pew pew, and that, my friend , would be a sad day.

Whortless? Veldspar? To undesrstand we need to take a look at industry. Lets take for example a megathron:
***Megathron Materials***
(Prices grabbed from the Matari Mineral Index)
Tritanium - 7,372,840 Units @ ____2.50 ISK = 18,432,100.00 Pyerite --- 1,843,894 Units @ ____9.29 ISK = 17,129,775.26 Mexallon ---- 462,130 Units @ ___26.28 ISK = 12,144,776.40 Isogen ------ 115,316 Units @ ___88.84 ISK = 10,244,673.44 Nocxium ------ 28,787 Units @ __268.04 ISK = _7,716,067.48 Zydrine ------- 6,830 Units @ 1,500.32 ISK = 10,247,185.60 Megacyte ------ 2,103 Units @ 4,061.87 ISK = _8,542,112.61
Total material cost of the whole thing: 84456690.79 (more or less)
The point is, when you look at the most costly material to build the thing, it is the trit. No trit, no megathron.
Now you are going to say "mine something else and buy the trit!" and I will reply "show me where I could buy 7.4 Million Units of trit (18M ISK worth of trit) on a daily basis at a decent price". :S
As per why you see this more on empire... well cuz you don't have to tank the dual Sansha Spawns while mining the veldspar....

Originally by: Sathamarid 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?"
Wrong! *DING*
From my spreadsheet (Hek prices) 1m Veldspar - 78 1m Jaspet - 96
So the difference is not that big. But i suppose this Hulk was simply out of scordire (almost most profitable of them all, excluding 0.0) and just moved to Veldspar.

In high sec, nearly everything turns about the same isk/hour in a solo hulk. Depending on the mineral prices, sometimes I make more mining velds in my hulk than scordite. Regardless, I get around 5 mil an hour, no matter what I mine (in 0.8) |

The veld roids are so huge, it probably sent him into a mining frezy.
Seriously imagine a hulk could make 10 million an hour EASY mining plain veld, quite probably more.

Originally by: Saha D'og I saw him again, mining kernite this time. But, 1 system further, another one mining dense veld and ordinary veld...
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. :)
This is wot I do, 'cept its now 22km with the new gang mods

My Hulk pilot will do about 8mill/h mining highsec ores with lvl 4 skills and T1 stripminers.
Now if only the price cap of 3.6isk/unit for trit would be removed.

The cap does not matter as it would level out from the miners that currently do not touch veldspar. It regularly fluctuates to 3.9 nowadays

I did a count up on the numbers the other day, and due to the way mining is done. The lasers pull in an ammount in m3 rather than a number of units of ore, all the highsec ores bring in about the same ISK per hour. Also with Veld rocks you have less issues with the rocks popping.
