== Mining Doctrine: Low-Sec Mining ("Procs on Rocks") ==

Mining vessels are vulnerable to combat ships, and so Unistas sometimes hesitate to mine ~~with their UNI characters during wartime, or~~ in low- ~~or null-sec~~ space. To be sure, mining barges and exhumers are slow to warp, have less capacitor than other ships, have little room for weapons, and spend most of their time at asteroid belts that ~~WTs~~ can directly warp to. But this doesn't mean that it's unsafe to mine! Unistas '''can''' mine productively under threat, especially in an Orca-boosted Shared-Can op. The purpose of this page is to propose a fleet doctrine that provides maximum safety, and even the potential for PvP response to targets, to AMC miners in ~~the presence of WTs or other aggressors~~.

Mining vessels are vulnerable to combat ships, and so Unistas sometimes hesitate to mine in low-security space. To be sure, mining barges and exhumers are slow to warp, have less capacitor than other ships, have little room for weapons, and spend most of their time at asteroid belts that potential aggressors can directly warp to.

The purpose of this page is to propose a fleet doctrine that provides maximum safety, and even the potential for PvP response to targets, to AMC miners in low sec.

The doctrine boils down to a few simple rules:

Line 101:

The only downside of the Procurer is its relatively low mining yield. The Skiff is even tankier than the Procurer, and gets mining yield bonuses that make it about as efficient as a Covetor. Even though the replacement cost looks prohibitive, it is extremely difficult for a solo or small group of pirates to take down a Skiff. <br />

Out-of-corp alts can mine in any ship when part of a high-sec AMC fleet. <br />

===Miners should mine in motion, aligned to pre-made warp-out bookmarks.===

If you mine from a stand-still, as you would in high-sec, you will be vulnerable to being scrammed and webbed by aggressors before you can warp away. On the other hand, if your ship is aligned towards a warp-out point, and moving at least 75% of its maximum speed, you can warp out immediately at the first sign of trouble. (If that's what you want. Procurers also make great bait for aggressors--more on that later.) This means that constructing alignment bookmarks is an important part of mining in low sec. Clutter Fonulique and I have set up a
