Mining Ships: Difference between revisions

As a pilot, new to Eve Online, there is an overwhelming choice of ships and modules to cater for every possibility, and as miner's we have been given a series of ships that give us an edge. This section is going to take a look at the Frigate and Cruiser ships that haven been given a mining roll bonus, as well as the modules that you might want to invest in. It is recommended that before you choose a ship, you read about the [[Mining | basics of mining]] as it gives a good overview as to what asteroids are and how we exploit them.

In theory, you can mine in absolutely anything with a high power slot and a spare turret. However a mistake that many beginning miners make is thinking that since only high slots are required to fit a mining laser, and industrial ships (such as the Iteron) have enormous cargo bays, they'll save time by mining with their hauler. There isn't a miner in the 'verse who would recommend mining in an industrial - it may have a large cargo bay, but filling it with just one mining laser takes an extremely long time and is unprofitable. There are much more effective ways to involve an industrial and improve your ISK/hour ratio. For more information, see either [[Mining#Jet_Can_Mining | Jet Can Mining]], [[Mining#Combo_Jet_Can_Mining | Combo Jet Can Mining]] or [[Mining#GSC_Mining | GSC Mining]]

If you believe you are ready to make the time and isk investment to get serious about mining, then see [[Mining_Barges | here]]
