Materia Effect	Posted - 2008.02.07 20:02:00 - [1] Edited by: Materia Effect on 07/02/2008 20:02:08 Hi, I wanted to add another mining laser to my ship but I do not have the CPU cycles available. What are the ways to reduce the CPU requirements of mining lasers or else to increase the CPU capacity of my ship. I know about the electronics skill. Are there any rigs that will work on mining lasers? thanks, -m.e.

Train Electronics and use Co-Processors to increase your ship's cpu. There are no rigs that would give you more cpu or reduce cpu requirements of mining lasers.

(... would they replace one of my cargo expanders?) thanks a ton! -m.e.

Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation Endless Horizon	Posted - 2008.02.07 20:19:00 - [5] Low-slot Co-Processor... though you won't see much benefit from them on Frigates and minimal on Cruiers since they work off of percentages of available CPU. There's also implants that will boost your CPU output by 1-5%, depending on what version of the implant you use.
Materia Effect	Posted - 2008.02.07 20:34:00 - [6] cool thanks y'all. I can't give up a cargo expander, so I guess it's electronics skill and implants. cheers! m.e.

Minerva Vulcan Caldari The Nexus Foundation Endless Horizon	Posted - 2008.02.07 20:59:00 - [9] Edited by: Minerva Vulcan on 07/02/2008 21:05:14 You could try a Vexor. Less cargo space but you have one more low slot and a bit more CPU. Also, you get a large bonus to mining drone yield depending on Cruiser skill level. Edit: Did a test, and you can just barely squeeze 4 Miner IIs onto a Exequor with 3 Expanded Cargohold IIs in the lows, (giving you a 1865 m3 at Cruiser V skill) if you use a KMB-50 Implant, if you have Electronics V.

I edited my previous post and answered this before I even saw it :) Exequror 3x Miner II's 3x Cargo Expander II's 5x Mining Drone I's I just have an empty high fitting slot. I have a weapon in there now, but I typically am mining in 0.9 space and was hoping I could somehow manage to squeeze another Miner II in there. I think it's not to be tho :)... gogogo retriever! -m.e. If you're just killing time until you get into a mining barge then you're fine and there's not much you can do without spending a good deal of ISK. You could switch to a Vexor (G) for the bonus to Mining Drone yield, that or go with an Osprey (C) or Scythe(M) for the bonus to mining laser yield bonus. That will allow you to pull down more ore per hour. Train Anchoring I and Gallente (I'm assuming you're Gallente by your choice of mining ship) Industrials and you can anchor a Giant Secure Container near a belt and use that to store your ore without worrying about can flippers, but the GSC capacity is less than that of a jet-can. I typically use my Drones for defense when solo mining along with a launcher with 3 lasers on my Osprey and can handle anything the belts throw at me in .5 to .8 space.

A single assault launcher (not heavy assault) will do the trick in high sec. Might as well use mining drones instead for the extra ore yield.

Falka Lakadaka Gallente	Posted - 2008.02.08 11:09:00 - [13] Originally by: Cygnus Scott Train Anchoring I and Gallente (I'm assuming you're Gallente by your choice of mining ship) Industrials and you can anchor a Giant Secure Container near a belt and use that to store your ore without worrying about can flippers, but the GSC capacity is less than that of a jet-can. But you won't be able to anchor it in 0.9 space, so it's likely to get nicked. You'll have to move to 0.7 space and have some form of defence against the local rats.

Aaron Ravenwood	Posted - 2008.02.08 11:44:00 - [14] I had 4 mining lasers on each of my Exequror's, they just weren't Miner II's. So maybe if you mix in some different mining lasers that don't use so much CPU you'll get another one in. Look at the mining output of each type, look at the CPU requirements and see what kind of a fit you can come up with. I suspect that 4 named miners such as the CU Vapor's will mine more than 3 Miner II's. Also I think there are some upgrades skills ... maybe shield upgrades ... or weapons upgrades ... that while they don't decrease the CPU usage of miners would decrease the CPU useage of of some other modules. But - yes - getting a Retriever is a better idea in the long run - and a Covetor better still. You can also add mining drones to the mix but ... mostly you're better off with scout drones to protect your weapon less mining ship in .8 and below. Of course ... what you really need ... is an industrial and someone to drive it while you mine. Think about getting a second account. EVE runs really well with 2 accounts on one computer. You may not want to do a lot of combat that way - but mining? Works great. The big bottleneck in your ore production shifts as you get more out of your lasers from your ability to mine the ore to your ability to haul it about. Even if you are just mining alone on one account - you're going to want that Industrial any way. That way, you aren't limited to selling your ore in the system you mine it in but can haul it to a system where you'll get more ISK for it. Lastly, if you do get a second account, one of the things you can do - is to fit the Industrial with one of those Miner II's off your old mining cruiser and mine semi-AFK with it. You won't get a lot of ore out of this but if you do it while you're running missions with your other account - you'll get more than the NOTHING you'd get otherwise. Then - if you get an Industrial for both accounts - you can set them both to mining AFK while you watch TV ... just make sure to check on them now and then - and of course ... only do that in .9 systems and above. In any case, Industrial's are just to handy not to have one. I salvage a lot. If the hold of my ratter/salvager gets full, I dump it in a nearby base and go back out. Later, I can come along with my Industrial and get all my loot/salvage in one trip. shrug . . .

Hi Mate, Check the Market for Mining Laser Upgrade its a low slot item that reduces CPU need (IIRC) Edit- Oops maybe not they increase CPU for extra yeild but maybe useful in the future A fool and his money are soon parted Better to die with honor than live with shame Diligence is the mother of good fortune Fools rush in where angels fear to tread Trust is the mother of deceit
Zev'Nar Minmatar	Posted - 2008.02.08 13:25:00 - [16] Edited by: Zev''Nar on 08/02/2008 13:33:29 The xecl drilling beam i uses the least amount of power. cpu usage 48 I was able to squeeze an extra one on a destroyer with some cpu upgrades. I'll probably end up just turning my Hurricane into a pertinent miner and make the PVP'ers cry.
