interesting, how did u guys mine? with lots of pvp support and camping gates? or rather using all pilots for mining and dock up if local gets busy?
3 jumps to make sounds not impossible to me. |

My advice:
Get a cruiser and rat until hauler spawn appears, kill it and loot the 3mil ore from it.

Sorry in advance if I mention anything mentioned already.
Well to avoid gankers, think like one. Most lowsec pirates (me) are (relatively) lazy people who like to roam around a central home system.
Use scouts always. One does not simply lemming a hulk into lowsec.
Try choosing a system thats in a dead end pocket on a branch off a pipe. That way most roamers simply traverse the pipe, often passing over the branches. Also, those said branches are easier to scout, having only one entrance/exit (barring wormholes).
Another tactic is to get cushy with the local pirates or even become one yourself. Its not hard to negotiate some kind of deal, cheaper ships/mods in return for leaving you alone.
Also, do not convince yourself that you can protect your mining operation. You will not be able to. Do not delude yourself by having a gang with you. With the proliferation of capitals, hotdrops are fairly common, and that orca is a juicy target indeed, said gang not able to help out when said hotdrop happens. Point is, people can always bring more. Your safety is reliant on stealth, and having more people in system and undocked will show up on the star map like a sore thumb, and people (like me) will come knocking. If you must have a ship with you, take a falcon.
Another thing: keep your operations mobile and flexible. Do not have an elaborate pos system setup thats time consuming to setup and take down. Keep it simple so that if you find you are being afk camped by people (like me) your operations are not halted.
Try as much as possible to do grav sites (when profitable). You will find an inordinate number of people looking for kills but not having been fit with probe launchers.
One that really gets to me: if trouble comes knocking in the form of a gang, be douchebags and undock a fantastic number of falcons and carriers and dps ships and sit on the undock and fondle everyone. They'll take the hint.
Warp disruptor range is about 24km, overheated 28.8. Try to position your fleet at a distance further than that from the belt warp in. And if you must have an orca in the belt, have it be 100MN MWD fit so you can warp it off in 10 seconds. Do not put the rorqual in the belt.
Once, again apologies if anything has been said before or if I mentioned something that would be unviable given your conditions. |

Low sec mining is posible and here is how:
1. You want a corp that manufactures and has pvp.
2. Corp needs to live in low sec. (( Sec status issues ))
3. System being mined needs to be a dead end system.
4. Own the entire area. (( Clear all others from your 2-3 systems ))
5. Have your pvp camp the entrance to your area. (( Hopefully choke point is two jumps out ))
Simply put you need to be a low sec pirate corp that manufactures it's own goods to make mining in low sec worth it.
Orca's can and should be used when opperating in this fashion. Keeping a good ecm ship with the mining fleet is a good idea. Station in system is a must. |

Scan down an exploration mining site. It is hidden and takes time to prob you out rather then being jumped in a belt:). Once you see probes of any kind you pick it up and dock up. So yes you can mine in piece in low sec but not in a regular belt. On the up side there are enough hidden ladar sites to keep you happy as hardly nobody mines them. GL in your advantures and my the force be with you. |
