== Mining Doctrine: Low-Sec Mining (Abandoned, For Now) ==

''The Kronos update in June 2014 reduced the mining output of the Procurer, and gave it speed bonuses that actually made it harder to mine aligned. As a result, mining in low-sec ~~is now even less profitable than it used to be~~. ~~I am not going~~ to ~~be hosting any future~~ low-sec mining ~~ops~~, ~~but~~ the ~~info here is useful~~, so I'~~ll keep the page up~~.''

''The Kronos update in June 2014 reduced the mining output of the Procurer, and gave it speed bonuses that actually made it harder to mine aligned. As a result, mining in low-sec was extremely unprofitable through much of 2014. In the Phoebe update of November 2014, CCP introduced the Higgs Anchor Rig, which was intended to make low- and null-sec mining viable again. However, high-sec ores are still too valuable to justify the risk of mining elsewhere. Until this changes, I won't be hosting low-sec mining ops.''

Mining vessels are vulnerable to combat ships, and so AMC miners 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 provide a fleet doctrine that provides maximum safety, and even the potential for PvP response, to AMC miners in low sec.
