== Mining Doctrine: Low-Sec Mining ==
== Mining Doctrine: Low-Sec Mining ==


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. 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 AMC miners in low sec.

The doctrine boils down to a few simple rules:

In the end, we may use mixed fleets of Retrievers and Procurers—Retrievers for yield, and Procurers for bait.
