In general any ship that has'a free turret and high power slot available is capable of becoming a mining ship. Caldari ships (most notably the Rokh) typically make good mining ships because of their CPU capacities, but each race has a frigate and cruiser with mining bonuses. Typically, players will receive their first mining frigate upon completion of the tutorial missions.
Generally, any ship with turret slots can function as a mining ship. As a matter of fact certain ships, notably the Caldari Rokh, are able to function fairly well as mining vessels due to their sizable CPU output. However for this guide only those which have been given a mining bonus will be covered. You can find a ship's mining bonuses listed under the '''Description''' tab in that ship's '''Show Info''' screen.

Ships that have a mining role bonus are very important. This makes any of the 'mining' frigates a good starting ship as the pilot will receive a cargo hold bonus, yield bonus and a permanent reduction in capacitor use.  Mining lasers have a large CPU requirement but a low power requirement; but the layout of the 'mining' frigates makes it easy to fit two [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Miner_II Miner II] lasers with modest skills.  The real issue with these frigates is the very small cargo holds even with the bonus. To deal with the small cargo hold issue check out the following links [[Mining#Jet_Can_Mining | Jet Can Mining]], [[Mining#Combo_Jet_Can_Mining | Combo Jet Can Mining]] or [[Mining#GSC_Mining | GSC Mining]].  Also when fitted for maximum mining the ships have no tank; so mining in 1.0 - 0.9 space is recommended.
