== Mining Doctrine: Low-Sec Mining ("Procs on Rocks") ==
 
  
Mining vessels are vulnerable to combat ships, and so Unistas sometimes hesitate to mine in low-security space. To be sure, mining barges and exhumers are slow to warp, have less capacitor than other ships, have little room for weapons, and spend most of their time at asteroid belts that potential aggressors can directly warp to. But this doesn't mean that it's unsafe to mine! Unistas '''can''' mine productively under threat, especially in an Orca-boosted Shared-Can op. The purpose of this page is to propose a fleet doctrine that provides maximum safety, and even the potential for PvP response, to AMC miners in low sec.

==Keeping combat ships in Sierra.==

There are a variety of reasons why we might engage in combat. If one of our mining vessels is pointed or scrammed by a war target, we might act to save it. I recommend AMC members have a few different ships at their disposal:

As the table above shows, the Procurer has better tank and time-to-warp than other barges, at a lower hull replacement cost. Given a choice, pirates and gankers will ignore Procurers in favor of targeting Retrievers or Covetors. Procurers can fit a Damage Control unit in a low slot, and shield hardeners in mids, and still have enough room for a Survey Scanner and Mining Laser Upgrade to help with mining. For example:

Electronic countermeasures (ECM) are the cheapest, most effective method of denying an aggressor a fight. They are also the easiest contribution for under-skilled pilots to make in a war-target encounter. Here's a pretty standard fit:

Griffins are available in the AMC hangars or by contract from Antei. Antei will also include 4 of each "flavored" ECM modules. The [[Griffin|UniWiki Griffin page]] advises a "rainbow" fit of ECM modules, so that pilots can be prepared for any type of target. However, we will know the identity of our aggressors' ships from D-Scan or from being attacked, and so you should *not* use a rainbow fit. Instead, once you dock your mining vessel and switch to the Griffin, either fit all 4 ECM modules to match our opponent's ship type, or, if we have multiple aggressors, split your ECM module types 2/2 to be able to target two opponents at once. And as the number of targets increases, and you aim fewer modules at each, remember that you can increase your modules' effectiveness by [[Overheating]] them.
 +
 
 +
====Heavy tackle====
 +
 
 +
''Good introductory reading: The UniWiki [[Tackling 101 Guide]].''
 +
 
 +
Many Unistas start their training as tackle pilots by flying small, fast frigates ("fast tackle") that can catch unwilling opponents. Our opponents, by contrast, will be entirely willing; if they are already aggressing a miner, we don't really need to catch them. As a result, in most encounters, we will need "heavy tackle", ships that are intended to tank a lot of damage while they keep an opponent from escaping. Four Tech 1 "[http://www.evealtruist.com/2013/02/know-your-enemy-combat-cruisers.html Combat Cruisers]" are built for heavy tackle duty: the [[Maller]], [[Vexor]], [[Moa]], and [[Rupture]]. Once AMC members can fly a cruiser, it's a good idea to have one of these in Sierra. How you fit your heavy tackle cruiser, and what weapons you use, depends entirely on your character skills. There is no doctrine fit that you need to follow. Nevertheless, there are a few modules that are fairly essential for an AMC heavy tackler:
 +
 
 +
*A '''Warp Scrambler''' (and not a Warp Disruptor). You will want to hold our opponents in place, and shutting off their MicroWarpDrive will be important to that goal. Fast tacklers will sometimes use Warp Disruptors because they are quick enough to keep up with an MWD-fitted opponent. You are not.
 +
 
 +
*A '''Stasis Webifier'''. Similar idea. Our opponents will likely be faster than we are, but if two heavy tacklers can land two webs (one each) on the opposing ship, we will likely have them tackled for good.
 +
 
 +
*A '''Capacitor Booster''', with both small and large charges available in the cargo hold. This is an unusual inclusion in tackle fits, but capacitor warfare is common, and our opponents may try to break your tackle and tank by applying neuts. A Cap Booster counters this strategy. Use small charges to give your ship continuous capacitor support (which eliminates the need for Cap Recharger modules), but switch to large charges if you find you are being neuted out.
 +
 
 +
Because the goal of heavy tackle is not to lose your ship, you should feel free to use Meta 3/4 or Tech 2 modules wherever you can. For example, here's one of Antei's Mallers:

If you don't have a Procurer at the time of the op, ask the Fleet Commander—the FC might have extras, or you might be able to contract one from the AMC ship hangar. The only downside of the Procurer is its relatively low mining yield. The Skiff is even tankier than the Procurer, and gets mining yield bonuses that make it about as efficient as a Covetor. Even though the replacement cost looks prohibitive, it is extremely difficult for a solo or small group of pirates to take down a Skiff.
+
Out of the four Combat Cruisers, I actually think the Maller is worst suited for heavy tackle, because it has only three mid slots. Given our requirements, that leaves no space for a propulsion module, and so my heavy tackle ship is painfully slow. But I fly Amarr, so that's what I get.
  
''We may mix this up as time goes on; I can think of scenarios in which aligned Retrievers might be better.''
+
If you aren't able to fly a combat cruiser, you can also fit one of the heavier [http://www.evealtruist.com/2012/09/know-your-enemy-t1-combat-frigates.html Combat Frigates] for heavy tackle duty. The [[Incursus]] and [[Punisher]] work best, especially when fit with a Small Ancillary Armor Repairer.
  
===Miners should mine in motion, aligned to pre-made warp-out bookmarks.===
+
====Fast tackle====
  
If you mine from a stand-still, as you would in high-sec, you will be vulnerable to being scrammed and webbed by aggressors before you can warp away. On the other hand, if your ship is aligned towards a warp-out point, and moving at least 75% of its maximum speed, you can warp out immediately at the first sign of trouble (If that's what you want. Procurers also make great bait for aggressors—more on that later). This means that constructing alignment bookmarks is an important part of mining in low sec. For low-sec fleets that Clutter Fonulique and Antei Thantonne host, we will supply you with a container of asteroid-belt and/or ore-anomaly bookmarks at the beginning of the op. The bookmarks have a particular naming format, modeled after [http://www.agony-unleashed.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bookmarks Agony Unleashed's format], that looks like this:
+
''Good introductory reading: Azual Skoll's [http://www.evealtruist.com/2012/08/newbie-tackling-guide.html Newbie Tackling Guide].''
  
 +
Even though we will need heavy tackle all of the time, fast tackle will also fill a number of utility roles: taking out opponents' drones, tackling snipers (if we choose to), and countering enemy support ships. Once again, how you choose to fit your fast tackler depends entirely on your pilot skills, and no doctrine fit is given here. Most importantly, miners are advised to keep their fast tackle fits cheap; the life of a fast tackler is often short.
  
[[File:Asteroids.gif]]
+
====Other useful ships====
  
Examples:
+
There are a few other roles that we'll need flown very infrequently, but that miners might want to try out. These include:
  
'''=V-1= WI Left'''<br/>
+
* '''Damage dealer'''. Along with the four heavy combat cruisers described earlier, each race also has a Tech 1 light [http://www.evealtruist.com/2013/04/know-your-enemy-attack-cruisers.html Attack Cruiser]: the [[Omen]], [[Caracal]], [[Thorax]] and [[Stabber]]. These cruisers are bonused for damage rather than tank, and so are useful to add that extra bit of damage necessary to finish off an opponent. We will always need heavy tacklers first, but once we have a few combat cruisers in the fight, I can imagine additional pilots bringing damage dealers ("DD").
''Planet V, asteroid belt 1; warp-in point on the left side of the belt, with "left" defined from the perspective of being inside the belt curvature.''
 
  
'''=V-1= WO Left Back @1000km'''<br/>
+
* '''Anti-frigate support'''. If our opponents are flying fast, kiting frigates, they may be able to evade the turrets on our heavy tacklers. Light missiles are a great counter to frigate swarms. The [[Caracal]] or [[Bellicose]] are probably the most common counter to frigates, fitted with Rapid Light Missile Launchers; if you choose to bring one of these, make sure to fit a Target Painter, or your kiting opponent will just speed-tank your missiles.
''Warpout point, 1000 km past the left-side warp-in point. Miners aligned to this point can warp out immediately.''
 
  
'''[IX PTS] DOCK Above'''<br/>
+
* '''Combat scanner''' (either in a Tech 1 exploration frigate, or a Tech 2 Covert Ops frigate). If an aggressor is monitoring us from a safe spot, it might be useful to scan him or her down using Combat Scanning Probes, using a scanning frigate.
''Insta-dock bookmark at the top of the Pator Tech School station orbiting planet IX. It's always a good idea to use your own bookmarks for stations rather than the client's warp-to point; the game can warp you well outside the docking ring for the station, and if you have to burn the remaining distance while on an engagement or other timer, you may be vulnerable.''
 
  
'''[IX PTS] IWO @800km'''<br/>
+
* '''Other EWAR:''' Sensor dampening in the [[Maulus]], or tracking disruption in the [[Crucifier]]. In general, these will be less effective than ECM. Our opponent(s) will have already locked onto a miner, so damps won't save an aggressed miner. And our opponents will easily be able to close range on a slow mining vessel, such that tracking disruption will have little effect. Nevertheless, I really love damps and TD, and I can think of situations where these vessels could be effective.
''Insta-warp-out (or insta-undock) bookmark for Pator Tech School station.''
 
  
'''#HHJ-1# WI Sunward'''<br/>
+
In any case, an FC would call for these ships only if there were already at least one Griffin and two, maybe three heavy tackle on-grid with our opponent(s).
''Warp-in point on the sunward side of a Hedbergite-Hemorphite-Jaspet ore anomaly. We may set up multiple sets of warp-in/warp-out pairs; this bookmark belongs to pair #1.''
 
  
'''SAFE P5 2AU''' ''or''<br/>
+
====Ships I recommend against====
'''DEEP SAFE P5 18AU'''<br/>
 
''Un-aligned safe spot. Closest celestial is planet V, 2 (or 18) AU away. Deep safes are always greater than 14.3 AU (maximum D-scan range) away from any celestial.''<br/>
 
  
 +
* '''Tech 1 Logistics.''' Each race has a Tech 1 logistics cruiser, and logistics serves as a great force multiplier in fleets. It's easy to imagine how a logistics ship could save a fleetmate (e.g., an aggressed miner) from destruction. However, solo logistics pilots are extremely vulnerable to cap warfare, and logistics cruisers have less tank, and have more expensive fittings, relative to other cruisers. If you are considering flying logistics, I recommend heavy tackle instead.
  
Clutter or Antei will give each miner a Container full of mining bookmarks, and probably a belt/warp-out assignment, at the beginning of the op. Miners will then warp to the appropriate warp-in point, and then always "Align To" one of the two opposing warp-out points. In this scheme, miners are only vulnerable while they are reversing direction, switching between a "Fwd" and "Back" bookmark because they have reached the edge of the belt. The alignment axes are set up to maximize the distance between miners and the warp-in beacon that aggressors will typically use to reach the belt.
+
* '''Faction or pirate ships.''' As a group, we in the AMC are relatively inexperienced pilots, and we will lose ships in combat engagements. when we have them. We ''should'' lose ships—it's the only way we'll get experience with PvP. I hope we can minimize those losses by flying relatively inexpensive hulls.
  
===Orca and Hauler support should be provided by out-of-corp characters.===
+
===Low-sec ops may or may not be as profitable as high-sec mining.===
  
Orcas and haulers are the most expensive, slowest ships in the fleet. They typically shouldn't be flown by Unistas, to ensure their safety during high-sec travel. In low-sec ops, the Orca should be posted within the docking range of a station if possible, or within 1 km of a gate leading to a high-sec system. Station and gate guns will deter aggressors, and no one should be able to take down an Orca before it docks at station.
+
We will be targeting low-sec ores and anomalies that are worth a lot more than high-sec mining can offer. However, we will be interrupted by low-sec pirates, and we will not be using Exhumers (and thus forgoing a lot of potential yield relative to Mining Barges). As a result, you may not make as much ISK as you would mining in high sec, depending on your skills.

Even though your Overview is set to tag pilots with negative security status, it is '''not''' safe to assume that pilots with positive security status won't aggress you. Low-sec pirates often repair their security status regularly for exactly this reason—to give you the false impression that they are friendly.

As you might imagine, this means you'll be spending quite a bit of your time managing information. It is difficult enough to do this while mining with just one character. Don't try it with two.

''A good introductory assignment: Search a public killboard for the low-sec system that the FC has assigned for the op. What sort of ships have been killed there recently, and by whom? How were the ships fitted? The killboard won't give fits for the victors' ships—but can you find the victors' fits among their past losses?''
 
 
===Unistas should have combat ships—including EWAR, heavy tackle, and/or damage-dealers—in system.===
 
Low-sec mining offers a unique opportunity to initiate PvP! There are a variety of reasons why we might counter an aggressor. If one of our mining vessels is pointed or scrammed, we might act to save it. Or, we are being harrassed, we might act to convince pirates to leave us alone. Or maybe we just want a good fight! In any of these cases, the types of ships we use will depend on the specific situation we're in. I recommend Unistashave a few different ships at their disposal:
 
 
 
====ECM: The Griffin====
 
 
 
Electronic countermeasures (ECM) are the most effective method of denying an aggressor a fight in low-sec, and also the cheapest. And the easiest for under-skilled pilots to fly. Here's a pretty standard fit:

notes=With skills all at level V, the ECM strength for each module is about 10.</li><li>The rigs increase the ECM range, strength and targeting range. They significantly increase the Griffin performance.</li><li>Optimal range is 60 km while fall-off is 50 km.</li><li>Targeting range is 100 km, which is almost optimal + 1 falloff, so you have a bit nore than 50% chances of trying for a jam at 100 km</li><li>No weapons or tank. You should not even be in range. You get in trouble? Warp away.</li><li>If you want a little buffer, swap a sig amp for a damage control}}

====Heavy tackle====
+
''Recently, wormhole exploration has become much more profitable than low-sec exploration. As a result, this section no longer really applies.''
  
Many Unistas start their training as tackle pilots by flying small, fast frigates that can catch unwilling opponents. Our opponents, by contrast, will be entirely willing; if they are already aggressing a miner, we don't really need to catch them. As a result, we can skip fast tackle and proceed directly to heavy tackle, ships that are intended to tank a lot of damage while they keep an opponent from escaping.
+
I really enjoy low-sec exploration. It's engaging, challenging, and not very skill-intensive. It also works well during my usual late-USTZ playtime, when the fewest players are online and low-sec systems are at their emptiest. Although you can use a variety of different ships to do low-sec explo, my favorite is the [[Heron]].  
  
===In high-sec ops, out-of-corp miners should have a logistics cruiser in system.===
+
I've cleared so many low-sec systems of data and relic sites that I've developed a sort of method for running them. Here's that method, step-by-step:
  
===Unista combat vessels (preferably tackle) should be loaded in the Orca's Ship Maintenance Bay.===
+
# Take the gate into your low-sec system of choice.
 +
# In the PodSaver tab, right click on any planet, and "Warp to 70 km". I recommend
 +
# AS YOU BEGIN ACCELERATING TO WARP, launch your probes at the gate.
 +
# As soon as you land at Planet Whatever, begin cloak.
 +
# D-Scan in the PvP tab, if there are others in system. Do some background work on those characters.
 +
# Switch to Solar System Map and do your anomaly scanning. As you find sites, right click on each and save it as a bookmark. "Ignore" WH's, Gas Sites, & Combat Sites as you find them to remove them from your Anomaly listing.
 +
# Once you've identified/scanned every site, start running them (Data sites first). Data sites can take up as much as 200 m3 of cargo space--make sure you have room. Relics don't take up as much space.
 +
# When you arrive at a site, if you are farther than 10 km from the closest can, Approach it and pulse your MWD once. Once you get within ~9 km, Stop your Ship.
 +
# You can start codebreaking when you are within 5 km, but you must be within 2.5 km to open the can. You might end up Stopping your Ship *while* you are hacking!
 +
# Go to the next one. If there is anyone else in system, I try to keep my Overview set to the PvP tab, and check DScan periodically.
