The E-Uni has a unique mining op SOP. I suspect it is to account for a larger than average number of newer players mining in frigates. I also suspect that a large number of those same players who leave the Uni only having experienced E-Uni's protocols will have a culture shock when introduced to more conventional mining operations. So I will discuss security procedures found in those mining ops. For more information on E-Uni mining ops see [[Cooperative_Mining_Guide|here]] and [[Participating_in_a_Mining_Op|here]]. | The E-Uni has a unique mining op SOP.

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 [ | 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 [[Armour_tanking|armor tank]] in the low slots. | ||

[ | Cruiser is where you begin to have serious options for defense. Cruisers have drone bays capable of holding several drones. At this point, you should train your drone skills up. [[Arbitrator|Amarr]] and [[Vexor|Gallente]] cruisers get a yield bonus to mining drones so carry those and fit a couple of guns in your high slots. [[Osprey|Caldari]] and [[Scythe|Minmatar]] cruisers get a yield bonus to mining lasers so carry combat drones and fit mining lasers. Light scout drones can used relatively quickly, need only [[Skills:Drones#Drones|Drones]] trained to III and [[Skills:Drones#Light Drone Operation|Light Drone Operation]] trained to I allows you to deploy 3 drones. | ||

If you are in an [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#Exhumer|Exhumer]] or [[ORE Basic Ship and Skill Guide#Mining Barge|Mining Barge]], the yield on your strip miners makes mining drones pointless so fit combat drones as your skills allow. | ||

Either belt to station mine or place Giant Secure Containers (GCS). The first, while safe, is slow and limits your yield per hour. The second requires you to be able to haul a GSC out to a spot and then be able to [[Anchoring|anchor]]. | ||
There are other options as well. You can buddy mine with a hauler who picks up out of your can as soon as you drop into it. If you are mining in a mining barge or larger, I recommend fitting the hauler with a tractor beam and keeping 15km apart. This will keep both ships from being hit by a single gank ship. This has the benefit of allowing the mining ship to stay in the belt mining and increases the yield per hour but at the cost of bringing in an extra ship that does not produce any ore but will still be paid as if it is. | There are other options as well.
