Regardless of your ship type, there is one thing you should always do, fit a tank. If you are in a frig, this might be limited to a small shield booster, but fit what you can. | Regardless of your ship type, there is one thing you should always do, fit a tank.

In a frigate, your options are limited but vary a little based on your racial frigate. The best option, regardless of your race, is to find a larger ship capable of defending itself and getting near it to mine. When the rats come into the belt, this ship will take action to defend itself and thereby defend you as well. If you can't find any other ships to mine near then this is the point that your ships race comes into play. All racial frigates except the Minmitar Burst have a drone bay capable of carrying one drone and a light scout drone is easy to get. The Burst's option for a weapon is to fit a gun on one high slot but since you only have two high slots and this will cut your mining capability in half. An advantage the Burst does have is its three mid slots. This allows you to fit a better shield tank if you have the skills. Likewise, the three low slots in the Amarr Tormentor, allows you to fit a armor tank in the low slots along with the MLU. | |||
Cruiser is where you begin to have serious options for defense. Cruisers have a real drone bay capable of holding several drones. | |||
