Sazumaan Johnza Minmatar Southern Cross Incorporated Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.07.15 11:44:00 - [1] Edited by: Sazumaan Johnza on 15/07/2008 11:45:22 Edited by: Sazumaan Johnza on 15/07/2008 11:44:48 Ok, I'm trying to work out how long it takes to mine 10 million units of Tritanium. Assume I'd use a Hulk, T2 fitted strips and crystals (inc. T2 drones). Any rough guesses - anyone..!?

Gieron Middleton and Mercer LLP	Posted - 2008.07.15 12:44:00 - [6] Originally by: Halada roughly 3-4 hours I agree with this. Assuming veldspar of course.
MercenaryMuffin	Posted - 2008.07.15 13:18:00 - [7] Hardest part will be finding a roid field, or even a system, with 10 million worth of trit in Veld 'roids. Everything in high sec 0.8 and above is mined to hell, and anything but 0.5 is bound to have its Veld rocks stripped to anorexic size. Hell, even in the quiet 0.5 I mine at, the Veld rocks are GONE within 24 hours of being repopulated. Fortunately, it seems that the Trit prices are falling, so it might actually be worth it to mine other high sec ores.

Not mentioning where I operate out of, but it's uncommon many time to see any other miners in the belts

Why do people still continue to come out, time after time, with this same drivel.... ... Me and my corp regularly conduct mining operations in high-sec (including 0.8 systems) and actually struggle to clear more than two or three belts in a night. If people actually bothered to get out of the busy systems they quite happily sit in and complain about then there wouldn't be a problem with overmining at all, there is more ore out in high-sec than we could possibly get our collective grubby hands on, including Veld (in all its delicious flavours). People seem to be unwilling to actually realise that those stargates that they see on their overview actually go somewhere, and then you can go still further after that. Also the argument about logistics is worthless, if you list trit in the high-sec market in large enough quantities, it *will* sell, and without you having to worry about hauling it all to the local trade hub. And before you ask, no I won't tell you where we mine, go find your own quiet veld-filled corners. ----------------------------------------------- "Numero Deus Impare Gaudet"

I agree. It is more or less impossible to find a system like that. Unless you count systems with belts of course.
Transmaniacon Minmatar Strike-Force-Alpha	Posted - 2008.07.15 14:25:00 - [11] Go like 6-7 jumps out of a mission/trade hub, and you will find all the ore you ever want. I bet of all the empire players, 2/3 are in or within a few jumps of the trade hubs.

I bet of all the empire players, 2/3 are in or within a few jumps of the trade hubs. Indeed, I operate out of a system that is 10-12 jumps from a trade hub. Plenty of belts, including ice in a couple of them... I'd say about 40 belts in the main system and the 3 neighbors (=2 ice belts). Local in them rarely above 30... And no I'm not sharing where :-P

I have build a calculator for just that, you setup your ship and import your skills via the APIkey, then you get the time and how much of each ore you need. try it out here ------- Ore & Ice Mining T1 & Capital & Rig Production POS Fueling and Reaction Minerals to Ore calculator
Transmaniacon Minmatar Strike-Force-Alpha	Posted - 2008.07.15 15:25:00 - [14] Dedaf's tool is amazing. With my skills, it would take about 3 hours and 20 minutes to mine that much trit, without gang bonuses.
MercenaryMuffin	Posted - 2008.07.15 15:34:00 - [15] Why do people still continue to come out, time after time, with this same drivel.... Because I'm 8 jumps from a trade route, and our roid fields today are GONE. Completely gone, until they get restocked.

Because I'm 8 jumps from a trade route, and our roid fields today are GONE. Completely gone, until they get restocked. If this is a daily occurence then check your local channel and station offices, to me it implies that there is a large(ish) mining corp/alliance in your area. I'm not saying that *EVERY* system off the beaten track is full of juicy roids, simply that such systems do indeed exist and it's simply a case of finding them. ----------------------------------------------- "Numero Deus Impare Gaudet"
Abrazzar	Posted - 2008.07.15 16:12:00 - [17] Veldspar can be found plentiful in missions. Just go to some lvl 1 combat agents and sweep through some until you get one that is fit for a mining operation. "Break their will" for example is stacked with Veldspar and Scordite. I am currently mining the 1.4 million Scordite out of it for the third time (Freighters need sooo much pyerite). !0 million Tritanium isn't much if you mine in a Hulk and you have enough Veld to chew, couple hours as was already mentioned. -------- Ideas for: Mining

I notice your character is Caldari, I am going to to go out on a limb and guess that you probably mine in Caldari space. Now, at this point you should know what I am going to say, but since you are obviously a Caldari trying to mine in Perimeter I will spell it out. Visit Amarr space, Minmitar space, and to a lesser degree even Gallente space and the problems you are describing vanish!

Hey I mine in caldari space :-P And got no problems with belts being stripped to empty... maybe they just need to look around some more. I found mine looking for a skybox color that didn't make my eyes bleed...
Stu Pendisdick	Posted - 2008.07.15 19:50:00 - [20] Funny you should ask. We are building cap ships, and I'm mining roughly 15M in 6 hours, T2 fitted Hulk with cargo rigs, expanders, T2 strips and T2 Veld crystals. In the system I've been haunting, I get two full belts down per day, that yeild appx 12-15M Trit refined. I leave the Scord for teh scavengers. Happy Mining!

Thenoran Caldari Border Rim Enterprises	Posted - 2008.07.15 20:51:00 - [22] Would require a grand total of 3 million veldspar which comes down to 300.000m3 which you can do in a few hours provided you mine uninterrupted and not having to spend time hauling or moving from roid to roid. My own calc (see sig) calculates a little bit under 4 hours with just the strips provided you dont have to warp in and out and everything (assuming you are going for a hauling Hulk rather than mining upgrades), but when you take that in assume roughly 4-5 hours depending on time spent not mining. ------------------------ Ore Depletion Calculator It's life Jim, but not as we know it
XDSKIRBYKIA	Posted - 2008.07.16 00:16:00 - [23] Currently i am based 5 jumps from a hub i am getting and there is only 4 people in local ever, 12 belts which are never depleted. All in .6 space. Stop whinging and start flying.
Towaoc Caldari Applied Technologies Inc	Posted - 2008.07.16 03:05:00 - [24] About 5 minutes... mining the Jita market for items that are offered for sale at below their refine values... and you don't even need the Hulk
Patri Andari Caldari	Posted - 2008.07.16 03:14:00 - [25] There exist some systems with mostly premium ores, ie. Dense Veldspar, instead of just regular ores. Find them and put them in your cycle. You will be amazed how much that increases your productivity. Patri A fool usually thinks he is a genius
Pizi Gallente	Posted - 2008.07.16 07:15:00 - [26] 10% max ? _______________________________________________ Mining Crystal II BPC Pricelist EVEpedia[Deutsch]
Radu Sven	Posted - 2008.07.16 10:07:00 - [27] Kador and Tash Murkon are good areas to mine veld. Especially Kador is playerwise a desert. I've been there plenty of times and I never deplete more than five or six fields on a regular evening with my hulk-team. I then haul the trit afk in a freighter to Jita and sell at top prices.

I found mine looking for a skybox color that didn't make my eyes bleed... I mine in Caldari space too, and while I won't say m mining system is "great", it's good enough for me. And I'm sure there are better hi-sec systems for mining if you just look around a bit :) Sometimes I just hop in a shuttle and go fly around systems I usually never visit to check out how the belts are doing there.

Larth Bane	Posted - 2008.07.16 17:35:00 - [30] Yah..but, if you can find belts like that you will make a lot of money. I mine with a retriever currently around 34 days till my covetor. Anyone know where you can find a good belt.
