ORE general information

The ORE ships are specialised industrial ships, focusing on mining and salvaging. Whilst obviously not combat ships, they tend to be shield tanked and use drones for defense.

Ship Type	Ship	Description
Mining frigate	Venture	Introductory mining ship.
	Prospect	Covert ore mining ship.
	Endurance	Cloaky ice harvesting ship.
Mining barge	Procurer	Intermediate mining ship, specialises in defense (shield tank).
	Retriever	Intermediate mining ship, specialises in ore hold capacity.
	Covetor	Intermediate mining ship, specialises in ore yield.

Capital industrial ship	Rorqual	Capital mining support ship (cannot fly in hi-sec), can compress ore in cargohold (vastly increasing capacity).

Skills

See also: Mining skills

All basic ORE ships (the Venture, Primae and Noctis) have very low skill requirements; a new character's starting skills covers the Venture, the Primae has no skill requirements, and the Noctis only needs [[Skills:ORE Industrial]] (ORE Industrial). The more advanced ORE ships' skill requirements depend on the type of ship. All T1 Mining Barges require the Mining Barge (4x) skill, which notably requires that you have Industry V trained. Exhumers, being their T2 cousins, require both Mining Barge V, Astrogeology V, and the Exhumers (5x) skill.

The Orca on the other hand requires the Industrial Command Ships (8x) skill - prerequisites include quite some investment in leadership skills (Mining Foreman V) as well as the capability to fly the Noctis ([[Skills:ORE Industrial III]]) and some generic training (Spaceship Command V). The Rorqual, being a capital ship, has far higher skill requirements - in addition to Jump Drive skills (requiring Warp Drive Operation V, Navigation V and Science V), the Capital Industrial Ships (12x) skill also requires Capital Ships II (and thus, by extension, Advanced Spaceship Command V) as well as Industrial Reconfiguration I (and, by extension, Advanced Mass Production IV and Mass Production V).

Mining frigate

Venture

The Venture is the first ORE ship almost any aspiring miner will fly. A new character starts with the skills to fly it, and the ship is given out for free by the Industry and Business Career Agents, thus providing a viable mining ship with a low barrier of entry.

While its mining yield is dwarfed by more advanced mining ships, it can nonetheless generate a reasonable income for a beginner miner, and its 5000 m³ ore hold means it doesn't have to return to a station to unload every few minutes. Its two built-in warp core stabilizers also make the Venture a good ship for mining in hostile space - plus, it aligns and warps much faster than the larger mining ships, allowing it a chance to escape from danger.

Lastly, the Venture is one of only two ships (the other being the Prospect) with a bonus to Gas Cloud Mining, making it an excellent choice for such purposes.

It was conceived as a vessel primed and ready for any capsuleer, no matter how new to the dangers of New Eden they might be, who wishes to engage in the respectable trade of mining. The Venture has amazing abilities to quickly drill through to the ores and gases it's after, harvesting them at the speed necessary for mining in hostile space, and getting out relatively unscathed.

Expedition frigate

Prospect

The Prospect is a Tech II variety of the Venture, and sports the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device. It has an increased cargo and ore hold, even more bonuses to mining yield, more tank, and 3 additional low slots, but no drone bay and no innate warp stabilization.

The Prospect is designed to operate in dangerous or hostile space. A Covert Ops Cloaking Device will allow it to warp while cloaked, making it very difficult to catch. However, it lacks even the rudimentary defense of a small drone bay that the Venture has, so if caught, it is completely helpless. It can't even handle any belt rats that might spawn without refitting.

The Prospect retains the Venture's bonus to Gas Cloud Mining, and due to its higher ore hold, is the best ship in the game for collecting gas.

The corporation’s first project was the development of a new line of Expedition frigates, designed to meet the needs of the riskiest and most lucrative harvesting operations. The Prospect combines improved asteroid mining systems with the Venture frame whose speed and agility made its predecessor famous. It is also the first ORE ship to take advantage of Covert Ops Cloaking Devices, allowing the Prospect to warp while cloaked for movement to and from asteroid fields in even the most hostile territories.

Endurance

The Endurance is a Tech II variety of the Venture, and has bonuses to Cloaking Devices. It has an increased cargo and ore hold, even more bonuses to mining amd ice harvesting yield, more tank, and 2 additional low slots, but no innate warp stabilization.

The Endurance is designed to operate in dangerous or hostile space.

The Endurance is being released under ORE’s ‘Frostline’ branding and combines improved ice mining systems with the well-proven mining frigate frame that served so well as the basis of the Venture and Prospect classes. Unique subsystems and fittings, coupled with a new compact ice mining laser design, give the Endurance the unique ability to harvest ice from a frigate class hull. In addition to this, the creators of the Endurance managed to retain much of the stealth technology that Expedition frigates have become known for.

Mining barge

This page should be updated due to game changes.
Reason: The mining barges and exhumers were tweaked in 118.8 (September 2016).

The mining barges are the next step up from the Venture, with much higher mining yields, larger ore bays and/or a stronger tank. Also, in contrast to the Venture, the mining barges can fit strip miners (with much higher yield than normal mining modules) and ice miners. There are three mining barges, each optimized for a different role: The Procurer has a strong tank, the Covetor a high mining yield, and the Retriever a large ore bay.

Procurer

The Procurer is the toughest of the three mining barges, achieving battlecruiser-level EHP even with inexpensive modules. Its ore hold is 70% larger than a Covetor's (but about half the size of a Retriever's) and can fit about 15 minutes' worth of mined ore. The Procurer's base mining yield is the the same as the Retriever's (and about 10-20% lower than a Covetor's), making it an excellent ship for mining in the lower-security (0.6 or 0.5) areas of high security space.

Each barge was created to excel at a specific function, the Procurer's being durability and self-defense. Mining barges are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.

Covetor

The Covetor has the greatest mining yield (about 10-20% more than a Retriever or a Procurer) out of the T1 mining barges, but has the smallest ore hold (it holds only about 5-8 minutes' worth of mined ore) and the least tank. As a result, you need support from another pilot (either flying a hauler or an Orca) to be effective at your role, as you waste the time saved mining by hauling the ore back to a station.

As Covetors are extremely easy to destroy in suicide gank attacks, using this ship without protection (or the possibility of storing it in an Orca's Ship Maintenance Bay when attacked) is not recommended.

The mining barge was designed by ORE to facilitate advancing the mining profession to a new level. Each barge was created to excel at a specific function, the Covetor's being mining yield. This additional yield comes at a price, as the Covetor has weaker defenses and a smaller ore bay than the other mining barges. Mining barges are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.

Retriever

The Retriever has the largest ore hold out of the T1 mining barges (27,500 m³ at Mining Barge V, enough for almost half an hour's worth of mined ore), but has only the same base yield as the Procurer (although the Retriever has more low slots and can therefore fit more Mining Laser Upgrade modules, increasing its yield somewhat). If you are mining without support in higher-security areas (0.7 and above), the Retriever is a good ship to use, as its middling yield (about 10-20% lower than a Covetor) is more than compensated by its vast ore bay, reducing the number of ore drop-off runs that need to be made.

However, its tank, while about 40% stronger than a Covetor's, remains very weak and vulnerable to suicide ganking, therefore it may be worth flying a Procurer if you're worried about losing your ship to suicide gankers (the downside being that you will need to return to a station twice as often to empty your ore hold).

Each barge was created to excel at a specific function, the Retriever's being storage. A massive ore hold allows the Retriever to operate for extended periods without requiring as much support as other barges. Mining barges are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.

Exhumer

Exhumers are the Tech II versions of Mining Barges, and all three are direct upgrades from their Tech I counterparts. All of them require the Exhumers (5x) skill to operate.

Skiff

Being the Tech II version of the Procurer, the Skiff naturally has the most impressive tank out of the three Exhumers by quite a large margin; with proper fitting, it can have battleship-level EHP. Its higher speed (more than twice as fast as the Hulk or the Mackinaw) also allows it to effectively use Afterburner modules to further complicate matters for any would-be gankers. On the downside, it has the lowest yield of any of the three Exhumers (20-30% lower than a Hulk) and only a medium-sized ore bay (large enough for about 15 minutes' worth of mined ore). However, its rock-hard tank makes it the ship of choice for mining in lower-security regions of high security space (0.5 and 0.6 security), or just for general peace of mind.

Exhumers, like their mining barge cousins, were each created to excel at a specific function, the Skiff's being durability and self-defense. Advanced shielding and drone control systems make the Skiff the toughest mining ship in the cluster. Exhumers are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.

Hulk

Being the Tech II version of the Covetor, the Hulk impresses with the highest yield of all the Exhumers and little else. Its tank is nothing to write home about, with even the most heavily tanked fits succumbing to two dedicated suicide gankers flying Catalysts (which together cost less than 10% of the Hulk). When mining unsupported, the Hulk's enormous yield will fill its small ore hold in about five minutes, requiring frequent runs back to a station to drop off the ore (which will offset any yield gains made compared to its cousins).

However, if flying in a fleet with a trustworthy Orca pilot, all of the Hulk's disadvantages are negated, as the Hulk pilot can use the Orca's enormous fleet hangar for ore storage, and store her precious Hulk in the Orca's Ship Maintenance Bay at the first sign of trouble, making the Hulk the Tech II barge of choice for use in medium-to-large-scale fleet mining operations.

The additional yield comes at a price, as the Hulk has weaker defenses and a smaller ore bay than the other exhumers. Exhumers are equipped with electronic subsystems specifically designed to accommodate Strip Mining and Ice Harvesting modules.

Mackinaw

As the Tech II upgrade to the Retriever, the Mackinaw sports a truly massive ore hold (35,000 m³ at Mining Barge V, enough to hold half an hour's worth of mined ore) and a yield that is only about 15% lower than that of a Hulk. While its tank is about 40% stronger than that of a Hulk, it's still rather flimsy when compared with its price tag. Therefore, the Mackinaw is mostly used in the high-end of high-security space (0.8 security and above), and even then some pilots prefer flying a the Skiff for its near-invulnerability to suicide ganks.

Industrial

Primae

The Primae is a ship which specialises in supporting Planetary Interaction; every pilot received one for free with the Tyrannis expansion. It takes no skills to fly, and has two specialised cargo holds: one for planetary command centers (2000 m³, enough for two command centers) and one for commodities produced by Planetary Interaction (1000 m³). Unfortunately, the Primae pales in comparison with Tech I industrial ships - these have at least as much tank and cargo capacity (in most cases, much more - the Epithal can carry up to 67,000 m³ of planetary commodities) as the Primae, while costing less than half. Therefore, unless you don't have access to industrial ships, there is no reason to use the Primae.

The Primae is a repurposed ORE design intended to ease the task of extracting resources from planetbound environments. Initially devised as a deep space salvage vessel for large-scale ore retrieval from destroyed ORE fleets in pirate-occupied areas, its previous incarnation was made all but obsolete by the arrival of capsuleers on the interstellar scene. Realizing that the ship could, with a few minor modifications, be made into an efficient resource harvesting aid, ORE wasted no time in revamping the design. A low signature radius (a holdover from its earlier manifestation) adds a layer of defense to the Primae's already decent plating. In addition, the ship's two large bays have been re-engineered to hold equipment for planetside resource extraction and processed materials, making it an especially useful complement to any planetside harvesting endeavor.

Noctis

Although it may look similar to the Primae, the Noctis is anything but useless: when it comes to salvaging, nothing beats the Noctis. It requires the skill [[Skills:ORE Industrial]] (ORE Industrial) to fly, and when this skill is trained to level V, the Noctis' tractor beams can reach out to 80km, hoovering up wrecks from an entire battlefield. The Noctis' one downside is that its tank is a bit weak (barely arriving at battlecruiser-level EHP with Tech 2 modules), especially if one of its midslots is needed for a propulsion module - and given that it will often carry valuable salvage, it can make for a juicy target. Nonetheless, the Noctis remains the undisputed king of salvaging, and is often found trailing mission fleets, salvaging the wrecks they produce.

Building on their successes integrating Marauder-class tractor technology into the Orca command platform, and innovations in automated salvaging technology, they designed a compact, affordable wreck recovery solution. A refined version of the successful limited-run Primae design made the perfect hull to house this new equipment, as its salvaging heritage and advanced sensor suites complement and enhance the new technologies. The increased sensor footprint of the new vessel is more than compensated for by its incredible efficiency at retrieving and reclaiming wreckage. The Noctis can fit up to five Salvage Drones, further enhancing its salvaging capabilities.

Industrial command ship

Orca

See also: Orca Guide

The Orca is a command ship designed to support mining fleets, but can fill many support roles due to its large cargoholds and ship maintenance bay. By making its Ship Maintenance Bay accessible to fleet members, it can also provide near-perfect protection against suicide ganks to any mining ship within range.

The Orca is also capable of using a large industrial core to substantially increase its industrial capabilities, while empowering its defenses during deployment in a static configuration. A key element of the industrial capacity unlocked by activating an industrial core is the ability to use compressor modules, with the Orca having the flexibility to use a number of specialized large compressors. The Orca uses much of the technology developed by ORE for the Rorqual and integrated with the latest advancements from Deep Core Mining research division has developed a vessel which offers a diverse role to all sizes of operations and needs.

Freighter

Bowhead

The Bowhead is the ORE freighter but unlike the other racial freighters it has a small cargo hold and a very large Ship Maintenance Bay, similar to the Orca and Rorqual. Unlike other freighters it has rigs and midslots, not just lowslots.

Experience with the ship-handling technology used in the Orca and Rorqual vessels enabled the Outer Ring Development division to build a ship dedicated to moving multiple assembled hulls at once. Outer Ring Excavations are aggressively marketing the Bowhead as a flexible transport platform for organizing fleet logistics across New Eden, available from authorized ORE outlets.

Capital industrial ship

Rorqual

The Rorqual is a capital version of the Orca, and is generally only seen in nullsec. As well as fielding similar bonuses to the Orca, it can carry a mining fleet to their destination and compress ore to make it easier to haul. Often, though, the Rorqual is seen as too risky to deploy in an asteroid belt and is set up within a POS shield instead; miners still get the bonuses and ore compression, and most pilots see this as a worthwhile tradeoff.

The Rorqual is notably capable of using a capital industrial core to substantially increase its industrial capabilities, while empowering its defenses during deployment in a static configuration. A key element of the industrial capacity unlocked by activating an industrial core is the ability to use compressor modules, with the Rorqual able to use the powerful and logistically impressive capital compressors. Additionally, the Rorqual is able to fit a capital tractor beam unit, capable of pulling in cargo containers from far greater distances and at far greater speeds than smaller beams can. It also possesses a sizeable drone bay, jump drive capability and the capacity to fit a clone vat bay. This combination of elements makes the Rorqual the ideal nexus to build deep space mining operations around. Due to its specialization towards industrial operations, its ship maintenance bay is able to accommodate only industrial ships, mining barges and their tech 2 variants.

Fitting strategies and mining modules

This will deal only with dedicated mining ships (mining frigates, mining barges and exhumers). For information on fitting a Noctis, Primae, Orca, or Rorqual, please see their dedicated ship pages.

To fit a mining ship, start by deciding whether the ship will be used for asteroid, ice or gas mining (a ship cannot be fitted to do all three at once). This choice will determine what harvesting modules are needed in the high slots:

• Mining Lasers or Strip Miners for asteroid mining (note that Deep Core Lasers/Strip Miners are needed to mine Mercoxit)
• Ice Harvesters for ice mining
• Gas Cloud Harvesters for gas mining.

The low-slot Mining Laser Upgrade and Ice Harvester Upgrade modules increase the yield (amount mined per minute) of asteroid and ice miners, respectively (there is no equivalent module for gas miners). As for rigs, they can be used to increase the yield of ice and Mercoxit mining, as well as mining drones. Lastly, the only mid-slot module dedicated to mining is the survey scanner (which shows how much ore/ice is available in nearby asteroids).

All the mining ships are shield tanked, and therefore most of their mid-slots and rigs, and some of their low-slots, are dedicated to mounting a stronger tank. For details on fitting shield-tanked ships see shield tanking; depending on whether you will be flying to more dangerous areas of space (and how risk-averse you are), you will dedicate more or fewer slots to your tank.

High-slot modules

Mining lasers

Mining lasers harvest asteroids, and are the most basic mining module. They have a cycle time of 60 seconds. Note that these require a free turret slot on a ship, and can therefore not be fitted to Mining Barges or Exhumers (which use Strip Miners instead).

Compared to the meta 0 module, the two meta miners offer an increase in yield (+25% for both) and a choice of longer range or lower fitting requirements - so you should use these modules since they're not very expensive. It's hard to find a situation where the lower fitting requirements of the Compact Laser make it necessary, so generally the Scoped Laser is better. The tech 2 miner is a clear upgrade over any of its tech 1 counterparts (+50% yield compared with the meta 0 miner), although it does need more CPU and training the Mining skill to level IV - but if you plan on mining with the Venture for longer periods of time, it's a worthwhile investment. The ORE Miner (obtainable from the Outer Ring Excavations Loyalty Points store) is virtually identical to the tech 2 miner (except that it only needs Mining I and has a slightly higher yield), but is very difficult to find and very expensive.

Deep core miners

These are specialised variants of mining lasers, and are needed to mine Mercoxit (the rarest kind of ore, only found in nullsec). Whilst they are capable of mining other kinds of ore, they are less efficient at it (lower yield) than normal mining lasers. The Modulated Deep Core Miner II has a cycle time of 180 seconds; the others have cycle times of 60 seconds.

Module	Tech	Meta			Yield	Range	Skill
Deep Core Mining Laser I	I	0	150	2	40	5	Deep Core Mining I
Modulated Deep Core Miner II	II	5	80	3	40	10	Deep Core Mining II
ORE Deep Core Mining Laser	◇	6	150	2	40	7	Deep Core Mining I
Click on the column headers to sort the table; mouse over them for a more detailed explanation. More information: Skills - Tech and Meta levels.

The tech 2 deep core miner can be fitted with mining crystals to increase its yield, and is also much more forgiving in terms of fitting (the tech 1 deep core miner takes so much CPU that it's nearly impossible to fit more than 1 on a Venture).

Ice mining lasers

These modules allow expedition frigates (the Endurance and the Prospect) to harvest ice. They operate on very long cycle times and all have the same yield per cycle (1,000m³).

Module	Tech	Meta			Cycle	Yield	Range	Skill
Ice Mining Laser I	I	0	50	5	360	166.67	7	Ice Harvesting I
Ice Mining Laser II	II	5	60	6	330	181.82	8	Ice Harvesting V

The Tech 2 ice miner has ~10% more yield (181 m3/min) than its Tech 1 counterpart (166 m3/min), but requires more skill training. The ORE miner (available from the ORE loyalty points store) is just as good as the Tech 2 miner, but it's very rare and expensive, and therefore it's worth investing the time to train Ice Harvesting to level V to use the Tech 2 version.

Strip miners

Strip miners can only be fit on mining barges and exhumers, and are used to mine ore. Unlike mining lasers, they have a cycle time of 180 seconds (3 minutes); the table below lists their mining yield in m³/min (whereas in-game tools often list their yield in m³ per cycle).

Module	Tech	Meta			Yield	Range	Skill
Strip Miner I	I	0	60	10	180	15	Mining IV
Modulated Strip Miner II (no crystal)	II	5	60	12	120	15	Mining V

ORE Strip Miner	◇	6	60	10	180	17	Mining IV
Click on the column headers to sort the table; mouse over them for a more detailed explanation. More information: Skills - Tech and Meta levels.

Even the basic strip miner is a massive upgrade over mining lasers (the Strip Miner I mines almost five times as much as a Miner I). The tech 2 strip miner has a lower base yield than its tech 1 counterpart, but can and should always be fit with mining crystals which will give a +8% yield (tech one crystals) or a +16% yield (tech two crystals) compared with the tech 1 strip miner. See mining crystals below for more information. The Modulated Deep Core Strip Miner II is the only strip miner capable of mining Mercoxit, and the ORE Strip Miner is very rare, expensive, and not worth using.

Ice miners

These modules are used to mine ice (surprise, surprise), and, like strip miners, can only be fitted to mining barges and exhumers. Unlike ore miners, ice miners all mine 1 unit (1000 m³) of ice per cycle; their distinguishing feature is the length of their cycle (a shorter cycle means more ice mined over time).

Module	Tech	Meta			Cycle	Range	Skill
Ice Harvester I	I	0	60	10	300	10	Ice Harvesting I
Ice Harvester II	II	5	66	10	250	10	Ice Harvesting V
ORE Ice Harvester	◇	6	66	10	250	12	Ice Harvesting I
Click on the column headers to sort the table; mouse over them for a more detailed explanation. More information: Skills - Tech and Meta levels.

The Tech 2 ice miner has 20% more yield (240 m³/min) than its Tech 1 counterpart (200 m³/min), but requires more skill training. The ORE miner (available from the ORE loyalty points store) is just as good as the Tech 2 miner, but it's very rare and expensive, and therefore it's worth investing the time to train Ice Harvesting to level V to use the Tech 2 version.

Gas cloud harvesters

Gas cloud miners are used to mine gas clouds, and can only be fit to ships with turret slots (which means they cannot be fitted to mining barges or exhumers). For each level of the Gas Cloud Harvesting skill you can fit one additional gas cloud harvester (up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5 km (the shortest of any of the mining modules by quite a margin). Note that the table below lists yield per minute (to make it easier to compare modules), while most in-game sources will list yield per cycle.

Module	Tech	Meta			Cycle	Yield	Skill
Gas Cloud Harvester I	I	0	60	2	30	20	Gas Cloud Harvesting I
'Crop' Gas Cloud Harvester	I	1	48	2	30	20	Gas Cloud Harvesting I
'Plow' Gas Cloud Harvester	I	1	30	2	30	20	Gas Cloud Harvesting I
Gas Cloud Harvester II	II	5	70	5	40	30	Gas Cloud Harvesting V
Syndicate Gas Cloud Harvester	◇	6	26	2	30	20	Gas Cloud Harvesting I
Click on the column headers to sort the table; mouse over them for a more detailed explanation. More information: Skills - Tech and Meta levels.

The two meta 1 gas cloud harvesters have lower fitting requirements than the meta 0 module, however, even an average-skilled pilot should have no problem fitting a Venture with two meta 0 gas cloud harvesters. The tech 2 module has 50% more yield than its tech 1 counterparts, and is therefore a very worthwhile upgrade despite the long skill training time (and the slightly more demanding fitting - although it should still not cause problems for most miners). The Syndicate harvester (obtainable from the Intaki Syndicate LP store), is very rare, expensive, and almost never worth using unless you need every last drop of CPU fitting for other modules.

Mid-slot modules

Survey scanners

Survey scanner are a mid-slot module which allow you to see how much ore/ice is present in nearby asteroids (allowing you to, for instance, mine the asteroids containing the most ore).

Survey scanners have to manually activated and do not auto-refresh (so you need to periodically activate the scanner to update the information you receive); a scan takes between 4 and 5 seconds (depending on the survey scanner module). Unlike most other modules in the game, training the prerequisite skill (CPU Management) does not improve the performance of the survey scanner in any way; the only way to increase the range of a survey scanner is to fit them to an Orca or a Rorqual (which have built-in bonuses to survey scanner range).

Module	Tech	Meta			Range	Time	Skill
Survey Scanner I	I	0	5	1	15	5	CPU Management I
ML-3 Scoped Survey Scanner	I	1	4	1	20	4.5	CPU Management I
Survey Scanner II	II	5	6	1	22.5	4	CPU Management II
Click on the column headers to sort the table; mouse over them for a more detailed explanation. More information: Skills - Tech and Meta levels.

The various survey scanners use very little CPU and power grid, and are primarily distinguished by their range (how large an area, measured from your ship, they can scan). Given that nearly every mining module has a range of 15km or less (the one exception being the rare and very expensive ORE Strip Miner), the basic Survey Scanner I will cover every asteroid you can mine without moving your ship. The longer-ranged survey scanners are only useful if you're mining in an agile ship (e.g. a Venture) and want to fly around an asteroid belt looking for particular ore types, or if you are part of a mining fleet are are receiving fleet boosts (which, among other things, increase the range of your mining lasers).

Low-slot modules

Mining laser upgrades and ice harvester upgrades

Mining laser upgrades and ice harvester upgrades are low-slot modules which increase the ship's ore and ice mining yield, respectively. Mining laser upgrades increase the amount of ore mined per minute (m³/min), and ice harvester upgrades reduce the cycle time of ice harvesters (allowing more ice to be mined per minute). They use a moderate amount of CPU, but their notable downside is that they increase the amount of CPU used by the mining lasers / strip miners / ice harvesters installed on your ship (commonly referred to a "CPU penalty"). For example (assuming no skills or other factors), a Strip Miner I normally requires 60 TF of CPU, but if you install a Mining Laser Upgrade I on your ship, it now requires 60 + 10% = 66 TF. You can mitigate this penalty by training the Mining Upgrades skill, which reduces it by 5% per skill level.

Note that neither the yield increase nor the CPU penalty are subject to stacking penalties. Mining laser upgrades only affect ore mining yield (and increase the yield of ore mining modules) and ice harvester upgrades only affect ice harvesters (and decrease the cycle time of ice harvesting modules), but otherwise, these modules are nearly identical, and are therefore shown in a combined table below. There are no upgrade modules for gas mining.

Mining laser upgrade	Ice harvester upgrade	Tech	Meta			Yield bonus / Cycle time bonus	CPU penalty	Skill
Mining Laser Upgrade I	Ice Harvester Upgrade I	I	0	30	1	5%	10%	Mining Upgrades I
Elara Restrained Mining Laser Upgrade	Frigoris Restrained Ice Harvester Upgrade	I	1	35	1	8%	8%	Mining Upgrades I
Mining Laser Upgrade II	Ice Harvester Upgrade II	II	5	40	1	9%	12.5%	Mining Upgrades IV
'Carpo' Mining Laser Upgrade	'Anguis' Ice Harvester Upgrade	◯	6	35	1	9%	6%	Mining Upgrades I
'Aoede' Mining Laser Upgrade	'Ingenii' Ice Harvester Upgrade	◯	6	37	1	10%	8%	Mining Upgrades I
Click on the column headers to sort the table; mouse over them for a more detailed explanation. More information: Skills - Tech and Meta levels.

The meta and storyline variants are progressive upgrades over the basic meta 0 module, giving mining yields (or reduced cycle times, for ice mining) and lower CPU penalties; the only downside to using them is their slightly higher CPU requirement and prohibitive cost. On stats alone, the tech 2 module is in all respects worse than the storyline modules (especially the enormous 12.5% CPU penalty); however, these modules are often ruinously expensive, so the tech 2 module may be worth using if have the necessary skill trained, and if your ship can handle its steep CPU penalty.

Rigs

Drone mining augmentor

Drone mining augmentor rigs increase the yield of mining drones by 10% and 15% (for the tech 1 and tech 2 versions of the rig, respectively), but reduce your ship's total available CPU capacity by 10%. These rigs come in all available sizes (from small to capital), but are rarely worth using, as mining drones only make up a small fraction of a miner's yield, and the valuable rig slots are usually needed to improve your ship's tank.

Mercoxit mining crystal optimization

These rigs are only available in a medium size (to fit mining barges and exhumers), and increase the mining yield while mining Mercoxit by 16%.

Ice harvester accelerator

These rigs are only available in a medium size (to fit mining barges and exhumers), and decrease the cycle time of ice harvesters by 12%.

Mining crystals

Mining crystals can only be used on modulated ore mining modules (any tech 2 module with "modulated" in its name), and increase mining yield when mining a particular kind of ore (but give no benefit when mining another kind of ore). For instance, Scordite Mining Crystals increase your mining yield when mining Scordite (including Scordite's variants, Condensed Scordite and Massive Scordite), but give no benefit when mining any other kind of ore. They are loaded into the mining modules (like ammunition) and have a limited lifespan (on average, 400 mining cycles for tech 1 crystals and 200 cycles for tech 2 crystals) before they break and must be replaced with fresh crystals. Tech 1 mining crystals improve yield by 62.5%, while tech 2 crystals improve yield by 75%.

Modulated miners can be used without loading mining crystals into them, but they will perform worse (have lower yield) than their basic tech 1 counterparts. Mining crystals also modify the amount of capacitor used every time a mining module is activated; the crystals for common ore types reduce the amount of capacitor used (up to -20% for the Veldspar crystals), while the crystals for the rarer ores increase the amount of capacitor used (up to +100% for the Mercoxit crystals). This may become an issue when short-cycling mining modules (i.e. manually deactivating them before their cycle is complete, and then immediately re-activating them), as they use capacitor every time they are activated, and so you may need to wait a moment for your capacitor to recharge.

Generally, miners will carry a few sets of mining crystals in their cargo bays for the ore types they will encounter in their chosen mining area. Mining crystals take up 15m³ / 25m³ (for tech 1 / tech 2 crystals, respectively), and while the cargo hold of mining ships are not enormous, they are generally spacious enough to carry several tens of hour's worth of crystals. Organised mining fleets often use the Orca's enormous cargohold to store spare mining crystals for the entire fleet.

In order to use the mining crystal you need to have trained its corresponding ore processing skill to III (IV for the Tech 2 crystal). For instance, to use Veldspar Mining Crystal Is, you need to have trained [[Skills:Veldspar Processing III]]. Mining crystals only affect ore mining; there are no corresponding crystals for ice or gas mining.

Drones

See also: Mining Drones

There are several common drone configurations used by miners in Mining Barges and Exhumers:

• A full flight (five) of mining drones to maximise ore yield. This is most commonly used in mining fleets, where one flight of combat drones (flown, for instance, from an Orca) is enough to provide protection from rats for the whole fleet, allowing the mining ships to concentrate on maximizing their yield.
  • The most commonly used mining drones are the Mining Drone I and the Mining Drone II; the Harvester Mining Drone (which can only be flown effectively by Exhumers and the Covetor, as it needs 10 Mbit/s of drone bandwidth, compared with 5 Mbit/s for the other mining drones) is very slow and obscenely expensive, and is therefore rarely used. Keep in mind that all drones need to travel between your ship and the asteroid they are mining, so move as close as possible to the asteroid to keep their travel time down to a minimum.
• A mixed flight of light scout combat drones and mining drones, which is a compromise between mining yield and defense against rats. One or two combat drones is almost always enough to defend against belt rats in high-sec, so this is a common setup for solo high-sec miners. Exhumers and the Covetor can use their larger drone bay (50 m³, compared with 25 m³ for the Procurer and the Retriever) to fly five mining drones, but also carry a full flight of light scout drones in reserve (which are deployed when rats show up).
• Miners who are worried about being ganked sometimes carry a full flight of light ECM drones, which can disrupt the targeting of any ships attacking them and hopefully allow the miner to escape.
• Some miners (particularly mining ships with larger drone bays, who therefore have more flexibility) carry one or two salvage drones to salvage the wrecks of belt rats.

Ventures, due to their much smaller drone bandwidth and drone bay (10 Mbit/s and 10 m³) generally carry two light combat drones for defense against rats.
