Those are Arknor, Bistot and Crokite. Always mine those first. They are the most profitable. Use cheap mining barges such as Retrievers and Covetors (or Procurers for the biggest tank). Ventures are also great mining ships for W-space as they are very cost effective and designed for this role. They are affordable and won't ruin you if you lose them. | ||

Everyone in W-space will gank a mining op if they see one, so when mining, always make sure that there are no incoming wormholes in your system, always watch directional, or even have a scout at any wormhole exit. You cannot mine aligned, but you can make it a bit harder for someone to find you. As of the | Everyone in W-space will gank a mining op if they see one, so when mining, always make sure that there are no incoming wormholes in your system, always watch directional, or even have a scout at any wormhole exit. You cannot mine aligned, but you can make it a bit harder for someone to find you. As of the Odyssey update, asteroid fields are anomalies, showing up on normal scanner without probes. They can be warped to immediately upon arrival in system by a hostile ship. To be safe(er), do not mine without a picket on the WH entrances. Keep an eye out for new signatures that might be new WH connections. Try not to use jetcans for mining, as they can be bookmarked to provide warp-ins on you. Haul in cheap industrial ships, as often as possible. Don't use an Orca for picking up ore. Orcas draw attention of gankers. Warp out at any sign of unknown ships and probes on directional. Better to be safe than dead. | ||
