Typically, players will receive their first mining frigate upon completion of the tutorial missions.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.
Most aspiring miners will begin their career in a frigate class mining vessel. The advantages of a frigate are a low cost and low skill requirement making them perfectly suited to new players who would like to try their hand at mining. With modest skills a pilot will be able to fit two [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Miner_II Miner II] despite their relatively high CPU requirements. A major drawback to frigates is their low cargo hold capacity even with the ship bonus. One way to counter this is to jet can mine. Information regarding jet can mining can be found at the following links c [[Mining#Jet_Can_Mining | Jet Can Mining]], [[Mining#Combo_Jet_Can_Mining | Combo Jet Can Mining]] or [[Mining#GSC_Mining | GSC Mining]]. Another major drawback to frigates is their almost negligble tanking ability against rats, especially when fully fitted for optimal mining yield. As such, it is recommended that frigate pilots mine in 1.0-0.9 high security space.
