The NSC is fortunate in that we have our own ice belt within the back pocket located with AK-QBU. If your sole purpose is to mine for profit, then ice mining is where the money is. Being in NullSec, the ice belt within AK-QBU spawns the enriched faction ice asteroids (Thick Blue Ice) and the rarer “standard” ice asteroids that are not available in HiSec (Dark Glitter, Gelidus, Glare Crust). Ice sells very well in trade hubs such as Jita IV-4 however it can be quiet easily to flood the local NSC market with too much ice therefore there can be additional logistics required to sell your minerals. | |||
The Endurance Expedition Frigate is recommended over Mining Barges because of its ability to speed/sig tank belt rats while still maintain a similar yield to a Procurer (around 1 block of ice per min). Also being a Frigate, it has excellent speed and manoeuvrability to quickly evade any potential hostile threats that might appear. | |||
To use the fit effectively, orbit an asteroid at 500m with the afterburner and adaptive invulnerability fields on. If you are not cap stable, capacitor related skills should be made a priority. The Endurance can only field 3 small drones which should be used to clear smaller rats such as frigates, destroyers and cruisers. Battleship rats will not able to hit you and therefore there is no need to remove them. | |||
