There you have it....
I'll be in my first retriever very soon and was wondering if my mining upgrade modules would affect the mining amount of my strip miners as they do regular mining lasers. I have basic CPU upgrades so i should be able to put both Strips online despite the increased CPU usage.
The Upgrades, plus my skills in mining netted me an 83.16m3 per t2 mining laser. 4 x t2 mining lasers meant i was pulling 332.64m3 per minute. I know that 2 strip miners will be better, but i also think it might not be by that much....especially if mining upgrade mods don't apply to them.
I'd like to be able to calculate my pull-per-minute with my strips so i can plan my mining accordingly. Thanks ahead of time for the info.

Mona...where are you getting those figures from? the 1.2 and such....i just calculated 5% of 540 for each of my levels in mining skill....then calculated another 5% for the mining upgrade mod on top of that...came out with a total 1378m3 per 3 min. for 2 strip miners....where are my numbers wrong in that calculation?
I've seen those numbers before...but i don't know where they come from.
Thanks again for the help.

Okay i just did some calculations...and i wanna know if i'm right on them.
Retriever Fitted With:
2 Strip Miners
1 Mining Upgrade
Also equipped with 5 Mining Drones,
My Skills in relevant areas:
astro geo IV
Mining IV
Barge III
total....i ended up with 2,033.86m3 for 2 equipped Strip Miners
Add another 78.5 for Mining Drones and it's 2112.61m3 per 120 sec.
Is this correct?

excellent....thank you guys for all the help. 1778m3 it is indeed. I understand how the system works now.
Now....my next question. I spent a really long time last night trying to find some mods that would help with shield tanking...is that even possible in a retriever? Because i plan on doing plenty of mining on my own and i don't wanna have to run off every time a couple of rat cruisers come around. wasted time.
Retriever has a small drone bay...enough for some light drones. Basically the conclusion i came to last night while looking through for stuff was that the only space where i'm really gonna be able to mine on my own is going to be high sec space.
let me know if i'm off on that. Thanks again

Bump. Thanks again guys. lots of great info here.
I've pretty much decided that the farthest i'm gonna go is 0.5 in my retriever. with t1 light scout drones i SHOULD be able to hold off the (max 4 frig) spawns that pop up there. I WILL try to venture into 0.0 at least once for some of the more valuable stuff....although....all i'd be lookin' for is Megacyte since Zydrine sucks right now.
If i can score some Bistot i'll be good to go. Don't know if you can find much of that in Providence region...but that's where i'll likely try first.
also gonna train up my drones skills to get t2 drones.
Thanks again for all the help.
