Perfect mining: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Updated Perfect Orca to more accurately reflect current state of boosts. Derived % w/o implant by multiplying after implant amounts by 0.8. Removed 'only found in contracts' section of Michi's Excavation Augmentor. Other Mathematical things

* [[Skill Hardwiring|Hardwiring - Inherent Implants 'Highwall' MX-1005]] - This can be found for about 140M ISK on the market
* [[Skill Hardwiring|Hardwiring - Inherent Implants 'Highwall' MX-1005]] - This can be found for about 120M ISK on the market
* [[Skill Hardwiring|Michi's Excavation Augmentor]] - This is a COSMOS item that can only be found in Contracts and can be bought for around 500M ISK. At such a high price it's very debatable if it's worth it, but you do need it to maximize your yield.
* [[Skill Hardwiring|Michi's Excavation Augmentor]] - This is a COSMOS item and can be found for about 1.4B ISK on the market. At such a high price it's probably not worth it, but you do need it to maximize your yield.


Is the high price for the implants worth it?

* Highwall: If you make 200M ISK per week, a 5% boost will give you an additional 10M ISK per week. At that rate the implant will pay for itself in 14 weeks or about 3.5 months.
* Highwall: If you make 200M ISK per week, a 5% boost will give you an additional 10M ISK per week. At that rate the implant will pay for itself in 12 weeks or about 3 months.
* Michi: If you make 200M ISK per week, a 5% boost will give you an additional 10M ISK per week. At that rate the implant will pay for itself in 50 weeks or a little less than a year.}}
* Michi: If you make 200M ISK per week, a 5% boost will give you an additional 10M ISK per week. At that rate the implant will pay for itself in 140 weeks or a little less than 2.7 years.}}
My advice is to only purchase them if you want perfection, or have a lot of ISK to burn. The Michi doesn't seem very feasible to me.

In order to maximize the mining laser yield, mining laser range, and minimize the mining laser cycle time for a mining fleet, you need to have a perfect Orca pilot.

* [[Warfare links|Mining Foreman Mindlink]] - This is available on the market for about 120M ISK. It will increase the boost of your Mining Foreman Modules by 50%.
* [[Warfare links|Mining Foreman Mindlink]] - This is available on the market for about 50M ISK. It provides a +25% bonus to Mining Foreman Burst effect strength and duration.
** The [[Warfare links|Mining Foreman Link - Laser Optimization]] will give a boost of -2.5% to your cycle time rather than just -2%.
** The [[Warfare links|Mining Foreman Link - Laser Optimization]] will give a boost of 18.75% to your cycle time and capacitor usage rather than just -15%. With all other skills maxed out it comes to ~32.3% before and ~40.4% after total cycle time reduction or a 54.1% before and after a ~67.7% increase in m3/s.  
** The [[Warfare links|Mining Foreman Link - Mining Laser Field Enhancement]] will give a boost of 6.75% rather than just 4.5% to your range. While the increased range doesn't really equate to increased profit directly, it will increase your efficiency, which will eventually equate to increased profit.

** It will increase your yield from the Mining Foreman skill from 10% (at lvl V) to 15%.
** Total boost: (Cycle time boost + Yield boost) = 0.5% + 5% = 5.5%
