A Mining Fleet is just what it sounds like, a fleet for mining, and although initially a solitary activity there can be great benefit in mining as part of a fleet. | |||
The simplest Mining Fleet would be the equivalent of a [[Mission_Fleet_(Spider)|Spider]] for Missions, in that each Miner does his/her own thing while being supplied a fleet booster which will increase everyone's yield (boosters only work within the same system). These fleets are generally a join and leave as you want situation with no extra services provided. To be nice it is generally suggested you avoid mining the same target another Fleet member is working on. You may ask them about it and if they decide to give it up they will probably let you have it to yourself. There is usually no central belt for everyone to be working on at once, but it can be a majestic sight to see a fleet of barges/exhumers emptying a belt efficiently. | |||
The next type of Fleet is more structured. A standard mining fleet in high security space generally includes a mix of mining barges, exhumers, and haulers (industrials). The miners will work on a belt constantly and jet can what they obtain. The haulers will ferry the resources from space to a station. This makes for increased proficiency as the mining lasers never need to stop, unless you need to switch belts. Fleet boosters are usually present here as well. | |||

=== How To Split The ISK === | |||
If you are running an op with multiple miners, chances are there are a whole host of different mining ships, each with its different yields based on the mining lasers, the mining crystals in them, ship bonuses, character skills, etc. Moreover, you will also probably have a hauler and even someone providing mining efficiency bonuses. The simplest way to split the ISK return from an op is to clock in the times a player mined for, and then distribute the ISK in proportion to time mined. | If you are running an op with multiple miners, chances are there are a whole host of different mining ships, each with its different yields based on the mining lasers, the mining crystals in them, ship bonuses, character skills, etc. Moreover, you will also probably have a hauler and even someone providing mining efficiency bonuses.

Jen Loo often runs Mining Operations, with her Orca acting as the fleet commander. She follows the ISK distribution recommendation above, and also freights and sells the ISK at the best prices locally. In all, each operation probably takes several hours of logistics time in addition to the operation, so be sure to thank her for making life easy on the miners. She runs a mining channel called "Loo Operations," which, despite the name, is not a proctological chat room. | Jen Loo often runs Mining Operations, with her Orca acting as the fleet commander.
