Whats coming in this patch with mining missions? Reason I ask is I've pl'd my alt up in Brutor Tribe for perfect reprocessing and wondered if I'd want to push to 8.0 should I wait to see if they get mining missions or keep my yarring main doing missions for him?

Level 2 mission: Understanding Augumene
Go to a bookmark and mine 7500 units of Augumene (it does list as a pyrox subtype but I didn't watch the numbers to know is I was getting optimized for pyro crystal)
be very careful if you do this in a frigate as the 6 rocks or so add to EXACTLY 7500 units. There is no room for error if your hold is full and some dumps to space. I understand they don't want this stuff stockpiled and traded for instacompletes, but a few units to give margin for such error would be nice.
There was also a scattering of all 3 veld types and plenty of time to pick them clean (even with the pyrox crystals still on) and still make bonus time.
1 Guristas Imputer spawned while mining. Easily killed by drones.

What type of mission was this? Was it called an Encounter, or a Mining mission? Reason for asking was I got a mission, from a Mining Agent, that I turned down b/c it was labeled an Encounter, however it required me to go out and mine 6000m3 of an omber type roid.
I saw the "encounter" label, and assumed I'd have to fight my way in, then after the rats are gone, I could mine. After reading your post, now I'm thinking it only said "encounter" b/c of the chance of an "encounter" with rats.

So anyone know how to find these Mining agents? I'm in Caldari space and I really have no idea what corp gives them out.
Thanks in advance, moya

Edited by: Lurtz on 06/12/2007 03:55:27 TBH I didn't note the mission 'type' in journal, just read the briefing and went and did it. But I do have another similar which is listed as an encounter though as it is not the same name I can't be sure.
As for it respawning at dt, good question. If I get it again, I'll mine all but 1 rock of the Aug and see what happens.
For Moya's question, these were from an Astrosurveying agent of Deep Core Mining. I imagine all the mining corps (Poksu Mineral, Minedrill, Deep Core, Astral, etc.) have agents in mining or astrosurvey divisions.

So far I have been offered two Level 4 Mining Missions and one Gas Cloud Harvesting mission.
Here are the links Feeding the Giants Gas Injection Arisite Envy
All show as encounter missions in log. Cheers.
p.s. I didn't do them.

Mine came from Astrosurveying and manufacturing/production agents. None from mining. Go figure :)

Edited by: Inara Nico on 06/12/2007 05:05:44 Edited by: Inara Nico on 06/12/2007 05:04:37 Mission: Unknown Events five thousand units of lyavite (6000 m3)
Anyone else think thats a bit much for a lvl 2 mission for 25000+28000 isk and 14 loyalty points? Going to take me 15 trips in my thrasher. >.<
Edit: Mine also was a Manufacturing Agent

I have been getting mining missions from mining and storage agents.
The lvl 4 missions require up to 45K cargo, and pay like a lvl 2 or 3 courier. Not worth the effort imo.

Well in the past the ISK/LP rewards, bonus time limit, etc for brand new missions has been off. So I assume that's the case for these. I think it takes a while of people doing them for the system to see how the mission should be rewarded.

The main problem imho that the bonus reward time is just too short. Level 4 mining mission: 44800 m3 and mine/haul it in 40 minutes? Impossible. And without the bonus, the reward is not enough, compared to level 4 courier missions. So its definitely a skip 'til they adjust the rewards.

As many people have posted elsewhere, the mission reward variables (base isk rewards, bonus isks, LP and duration) are all dynamic and are updated as a result of people completing the missions. Give them a week or so and they should balance out, though if everyone rejects the missions this won't happen...
Cheers, Arrs

How to find them? Check the npc corps that look industrial and see if they have mining agents. so far i have done 2 level IV missions, gathering 20 Azure ice cubes each time for a very, very small reward (less than 200K and 126 lps). Not going back to that until i hear better news. Also with the time limit given, they can only be done with a mackinaw. My hulk with ice harvester upgrades, can not do that within the time given. So the actual reward is 100K for 7 cycles of ice mining.

I have not tried the asteroid one, but the gas cloud disappears after you reach the 425 pces you need for the LVL 4 Gas Injection.

Edited by: Jessamine on 06/12/2007 19:05:15 More new mining missions:
Ice Installation Cheap Chills Geodite and Gemology
What I want to know is if I can accept and let another char do the mining/harvesting. My alt can do it but I'm the mission runner.
