Mission mining is defined as harvesting the asteroids that are commonly found in [[Deadspace]] combat/encounter missions. Different [[Missions|missions]] have different amounts of [[Ore|ore]], often varying based on the enemy fought (Guristas vs Serpentis vs Angel Cartel) and the level of the combat mission. Some of these mission ore pockets can be harvested on the first day and will then respawn after the daily downtime. In addition, you'll be presented with a known volume of ore with no competitors.

The general strategy to remember is that you should always be careful to avoid completing objectives if you want the [[Ore|ore]] to respawn after [[Downtime|downtime]].  This means avoiding killing key structures that will trigger completion of the mission.  In some missions, completion can be triggered by using the acceleration gate to move to the next mission pocket.  So your goal should be to do as little as possible inside the mission area if you want to mine the mission ore all week.

A Retriever fit for max yield may not be able to handle the incoming damage.

'''Warning:''' Asteroids are probably booby trapped and causes a grid-wide smart-bomb effect to take place when the asteroids are mined.  This damage is more then mining frigates, mining cruisers, mining barges and mining exhumers can deal with and may likely result in ship loss. (Estimated damage is 500 every few seconds.)

Additional notes:
=== Athran Exigency (pt 5 of 5) ===
Asteroids are arranged as follows:
About 35-40 roids half Veld/half Scord about 65k units each. Be careful, there are proximity mines within the belt. You should take these out before mining.
Veldspar is found in a double ring arrangement (intersecting at about 90 degrees) that forms approximately a 100KM diameter sphere.
Scordite is randomly dispersed in the center of the Veldspar "sphere".


Mining this mission:
=== Blockade, The ===
* Do not attack the repair station nor the Aux Power Arrays.
{| class="wikitable" width="650px"
* I suggest doing this with 2-4 Hulks (or barges), an Orca, and an Industrial hauler.

There have been reports that the asteroids have smartbombs when being mined, but at the time of this writing, when mining with an Ibis and a Civilian Mining Laser, the effect did not occur even after several cycles.
|}


Position the Orca in the center of the roid field (about 50KM from any Veldspar roid) and use the Hulks/Barges to mine into jet cans as they travel around the Veldspar rings. Tractor the cans to the Orca when full (or out of reach as the hulks move) and have the hauler take them from the Orca to the station. If you have more than one mining ship, have one of them travel around the Veldspar ring that is arranged horizontally, while the other miner travels around the vertically arranged ring. As you travel around the rings, you will periodically be within mining range of some of the Scordite roids. Mine these as you find yourself within range. When all the Veldspar is gone, you should only have a small number of scattered Scordite roids left in the center of the space. Most/all should be in mining range of the Orca, and this is not a deadspace area, so you can simply warp out, then warp back in to the Orca to quickly reposition the miners and be able to finish mining the remaining Scordite.

|}


Additional notes: If you warp in with a Hulk (or other mining ship) and an Orca, you can fly the Hulk around the circumference of the ring of roids surrounding the Warehouse (mission objective is contained in the warehouse) just staying more than 24Km range of the Warehouse and the NPC mission ships won't even spawn. Use the Hulk to mine into cans and tractor beam the cans to the Orca (70KM tractor range on an Orca). By staying outside the trigger range of the warehouse, you won't get the "Objective Complete" message in you mission details and hence, can mine the full 2.250mil units of Veldspar each day for a week (with Trit prices currently at 4.06 ISK/unit... 2.250mil units of veld = roughly 24mil ISK worth of Tritanium per day x 7 days = about 168mil ISK for the week).

If you follow this technique, you will get some standard belt rats spawning, but just either tank them or take them out with drones and you can easily keep this mission farm-able for the whole week.

You'll get this storyline running missions for Lai Dai and Expert Housing near Korsiki, or in Nyubainen, near Jita. Leave one rat alive, and you can mine this mission for a week, earning you well over 150 million (yes, 150,000,000) ISK once the ore is refined. Just make sure to store the ore in a station that someone has perfect refine at, because at 16 m3 per unit, Arkonor is difficult to move in large quantities.
Regular belt rats do spawn occasionally, so make sure that you have a way to protect yourself while mining in this mission.

| colspan="4" | All ships are generic hostiles using Amarr resist profiles. The belt is about 50km from end to end, arranged in a slightly-curved line. '''Warning!''' The Omber does not always appear. Mining the Omber causes seven additional "Miner" cruisers to spawn when the mining cycle ends. The Veldspar and Scordite do not trigger the spawns. It's rumored that this site can produce an Arkonor asteroid, but due to the mechanics of the Omber asteroid, it's possible that the Arkonor has been replaced. This post will be updated in the future if this information is confirmed.
 
'''Update:''' After running this mission 20 times, I have not encountered any Arkonor. It is very likely that the Arkonor asteroid has been replaced with an Omber asteroid.

Note that the smart-bomb only make damages when mining, therefore it stops when the asteroid is depleted or the mining hold is full. This with a < 1 month account, no advanced skills, no tech II, a few millions ISK including rigs.

I mine it in a resistance hardened tanked ship, like battlecruiser/battleship to check it out. Unmodified the 'BEACON' hits for 500 hp each time randomly. Yes it isn't mines in the roids, it's the mission beacon that hits. Sometimes once every few minutes, sometimes 3 or 4 times or even more in quick succession. There are easier missions to mine in.

To reach the ore you need to slowboat 25km to the center of the belt at the structure (Asteroid Colony Refinery). With a Covetor I was then able to reach almost all roids, only had to move 1 time to get the remaining roids (approx 1 jetcan).
