There are three types of ships used in mining: a mining ship, a industrial ship and a mining support ship. In general any ship that has a turret slot is capable of becoming a mining ship.  Caldari ships typically make good mining ships because of their CPU capacities but each race has a frigate with mining bonuses and typically players will receive one upon completion of the tutorial mission. Popular mining cruisers include the Caldari Osprey and the Gallente Vexor.  Player will then typically go on to Mining Barges and then to Exhumers.  A industrial ships sole purpose is to take the ore that has been mined from a mining ship and transport it back to a refining station or to the market. Finally, a mining support ship can either come in the form of a security detail against rats and players looking to steal ore or as a ship designed to provide mining efficiency bonuses.

In general any ship that has a turret slot is capable of becoming a mining ship.  Caldari ships typically make good mining ships because of their CPU capacities but each race has a frigate with mining bonuses and typically players will receive one upon completion of the tutorial mission.  A typical progression of mining ships would be to start out in a racial frigate, then advance to a mining cruiser or a mining barge and then finally to either a mining battleship or a exhumer.
Racial Frigate:
High Slots: EP-S Gaussian Excavation Pulse I
Mid Slots: Survey Scanner I, Civilian Afterburner
Low Slots: Civilian Expanded Cargohold
Drones: Light Drone
