Mining is one activity in EVE that scales very well as you increase the number of alts that you use to do it. The addition of a single Porpoise will increase the effectiveness of your yield by approximately 30% with mining boosts while also being able to mine itself using drones. The addition of a swarm of Vespas and a remote shield rep can also allow the mining barge used to be switched to a Covetor to further increase yield, as belt rats can be dispatched that quick that the additional tank from the Procurer is not required. The overall effect is that you are now mining a combined yield similar to the output of three Procurers while only using two alts. | Mining is one activity in EVE that scales very well as you increase the number of alts that you use to do it.

Be warned though, like most things in EVE the increased reward from using multiple alts also comes with an increased risk. Players need to be extremely aware of their surroundings and staying focused is key. The second you stop paying attention is the second that you get caught out. Getting the booster off grid as soon as possible should always be your first priority. If you do use an alt, always be on comms and in the standing fleet, and please feel free to announce to anyone else in game or in Slack that you are now offering mining boosts. You will quickly make friends. | Be warned though, like most things in EVE the increased reward from using multiple alts also comes with an increased risk.

Mining fleets are a great chance for everyone at the Campus to come together when the rest of Syndicate is quiet, rather than pilots doing activities solo or worse, spinning ships in home station. The sheer amount of ore than can be mined in this manner is great for the local economy and mineral market, and the instant injection of isk into everyone pockets allows individual pilots to further fund the bloodthirsty PvP lifestyle. | Mining fleets are a great chance for everyone at the Campus to come together when the rest of Syndicate is quiet, rather than pilots doing activities solo or worse, spinning ships in home station.
