Recently, some people brought to my attention that the Osprey, which grants a 20% bonus per Cruiser level to mining turret yield, is a better mining vessel (in terms of gathering speed, not hold size) than the Procurer, the first-tier mining barge.
I'm not saying these people are wrong, because my math indicates that they are correct.
Osprey w/ Cruiser I: 4 turrets @ 60m per minute each = 378m ore per minute. Osprey: w/ Mining V & Cruiser V: 360m + 25% + 100% = 810m ore per minute.
Mining Barge I w/Strip Miner: 1 SM @ 556m per 3 minutes = 185m ore per minute Mining Barge V w/Strip Miner: 1 SM @ 621m per 3 minutes = 207m ore per minute
Now, my question is this: Does the Mining Skill affect strip miners? They're not turrets, so I wasn't sure. Even if they do, however, the Osprey's 810m per minute mining rate is still far superior to the Procurer, unless there's something vital that I'm missing.
Any help on this?

AFAIK is does effect strip miners as they are mining lasers too.

Edited by: Dark Shikari on 10/06/2007 15:11:46 Osprey only has three turrets.
And 360 * 2 * 1.25 is not 810. Its 900.

Originally by: Dark Shikari And 360 * 2 * 1.25 is not 810. Its 900.
In his defense, he was incorrectly adding percentages rather than multiplying them. 360+360+90 = 810, and what's what he was calculating.
But you don't add percentages in Eve, you multiply them (you add together levels of the same sources, but multiply different sources, so 5 levels of 20%/level is one 2x bonus, and 5 levels of a 5%/level bonus is a 1.25x bonus, and together they make a 2.5x bonus).

Use a retriever with 2 Strip Miners or a Covetor with 3 Strip Miners.

The only reason I bought a Procurer was to make cash quick enough to buy a Retriever.
The Procurer really isn't a very good mining barge, and if you have a Procurer you should be able to get a Retriever very quickly.

Agreed.
Totally skip the Procurer and get a Retreiver at least.
Note when it comes to Exhumers (T2 barges) the Skiff (smallest one) has a bonus to mining Mercoxit and the Mackinaw a bonus to mining Ice so those ships are better in those specific instances than the Hulk. For everything else the Hulk is the pimp daddy miner.
