ORE Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

Line 672:

* A full flight (five) of [[Drones#Mining drones|mining drones]] to maximise ore yield. This is most commonly used in mining fleets, where one flight of combat drones (flown, for instance, from an [[Orca]]) is enough to provide protection from rats for the whole fleet, allowing the mining ships to concentrate on maximizing their yield.

** The most commonly used mining drones are the Mining Drone I and the Mining Drone II. The 'Augmented' Mining Drone is an substantial upgrade over its Tech II counterpart, but it's very expensive, as is the Harvester Mining Drone (which can only be flown effectively by Exhumers and the Covetor, as it needs 10 Mbit/s of drone bandwidth, compared with 5 Mbit/s for the other mining drones). Keep in mind that all drones need to travel between your ship and the asteroid they are mining, so move as close as possible to the asteroid to keep their travel time down to a minimum.

* A mixed flight of [[Drones#Combat drones|light combat drones]] and mining drones, which is a compromise between mining yield and defense against [[rat]]s. One or two combat drones is almost always enough to defend against belt rats in [[System security#High security|high-sec]], so this is a common setup for solo high-sec miners. ~~Exhumers~~ and ~~the Covetor~~ can use their larger drone bay (50 m3, compared with 25 m3 for the ~~Procurer~~ and ~~the Retriever~~) to fly five mining drones, but also carry a full flight of light scout drones in reserve (which are deployed when rats show up).

* A mixed flight of [[Drones#Combat drones|light combat drones]] and mining drones, which is a compromise between mining yield and defense against [[rat]]s. One or two combat drones is almost always enough to defend against belt rats in [[System security#High security|high-sec]], so this is a common setup for solo high-sec miners. Procurer and Skiff can use their larger drone bay (100 m3, compared with 50 m3 for the other barges and exhumers) to fly five mining drones, but also carry a full flight of light scout drones in reserve (which are deployed when rats show up).

* Miners who are worried about being [[gank]]ed sometimes carry a full flight of [[Drones#Electronic warfare drones|light ECM drones]], which can disrupt the targeting of any ships attacking them and hopefully allow the miner to escape.

* Some miners (particularly mining ships with larger drone bays, who therefore have more flexibility) carry one or two [[Drones#Salvage drones|salvage drones]] to salvage the wrecks of belt rats.
