When mining in NULL sec space it is extremely important to create a couple of tactical bookmarks around the asteroid/ice belt that you should warp to first. When you are in a large mining ship the align and warp speed can mean that hostile pilots can appear in local and beat you to the belt before you get there. By warping to the tactical bookmark first you are giving yourself a chance to warp away to a safe spot or station before the hostile pilot can get a lock on you.

=== Integrated Mining Surveyor ===

All [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Overview|ORE mining ships]] and all basic empire [[corvette]]s come equipped with a built-in Mining Surveyor, providing immediate access to in-space resource data without requiring a separate module.

The Mining Surveyor has a dynamic overlay, displaying colour-coded visual indicators of asteroid value directly in space. The overlay can be toggled ON or OFF via the scanner button on the HUD.

* Turning Overlay ON: By clicking the Scan button, your ship performs a mining scan and displays colour-coded visual overlays on nearby asteroids. These overlays highlight relative value tiers and estimated ISK to give players an immediate, at-a-glance view of the most profitable targets in range.

** Clicking the scan button again will re-scan your surroundings.

* Turn Overlay OFF: Player can also right-click the scan button to disable the overlay. All the current scan data will be retained within the survey scan result window until player re-scan.

Mining Surveyors have to be manually activated; a scan pulse starts immediately, taking 10 seconds to travel outward to a distance of 250 km.

Right-clicking the mining surveyor scan button gives the options of opening the scan results window and the mining ledger.

=== Mining survey chipset ===

The Mining Survey Chipset (a mid-slot module~~) is a very useful tool for any asteroid miner, passively increases~~ mining critical success chance and bonus ~~ore amount~~, ~~while also reducing the~~ chance ~~for residue~~.

[[File:Mining survey chipset (space).png|thumb|(top-left) Real-time gauge showing red for residue (if any) and green for ore output; (center) Total Value and Quantity readouts are available.]] The Mining Survey Chipset is a passive mid-slot module that enhances the mining surveyor with detailed information on the number of units of ore available in nearby asteroids. It also provides bonuses to mining critical success chance and mining critical success bonus yield, as well as a reduction in mining residue chance.

* Only one mining survey chipset module can be fit at a time.

* The mining survey chipset is available in Basic, Tech 1, Compact, and Tech 2 versions.

It also shows how much ore each asteroid in the vicinity contains. This is important, as asteroid mining modules (mining lasers and strip miners) will always complete an entire cycle (15s for mining lasers, 45s for strip miners), irrespective of how much ore is actually left in the asteroid.
