There are three types of ships used in mining: a mining ship, a hauler and a mining support ship.

*With the arrival of the new Venture mining frigate and the change of the old racial mining frigates to serve as combat ships, the best option for a new miner is to train into the Venture. ~~As a~~ new player can fly it with only minutes of training. It's a mini mining barge with a substantial ore hold and about half the potential yield of a mining barge. After a weeks training miners should then step into mining barges, and after training mining barge to V plus some support skills, exhumers.

*A hauler's purpose is to take the ore that has been mined from a mining ship and transport it back to a refining station or to the market. [[Hauling]] is normally done in an industrial or a Freighter. Since the Retribution patch Freighters can access jetcans in space making them a viable alternative for mining setups.

*Finally, a mining support ship can either come in the form of a security detail against rats and players looking to steal ore or as a ship designed to provide mining efficiency bonuses. The ultimate mining support ships are the [[Orca]] and [[Rorqual]], of which only the [[Orca]] can enter high-security space and fit through normal stargates.
