In a frigate, your options are limited but vary a little based on your racial frigate. The best option, regardless of your race, is to find a larger ship capable of defending itself and getting near it to mine. When the rats come into the belt, this ship will take action to defend itself and thereby defend you as well. If you can't find any other ships to mine near then this is the point that your ships race comes into play. All racial frigates except the Minmitar [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Burst Burst] have a drone bay capable of carrying one drone and a light scout drone is easy to get. The Burst's option for a weapon is to fit a gun on one high slot but since you only have two high slots and this will cut your mining capability in half. An advantage the Burst does have is its three mid slots. This allows you to fit a better shield tank if you have the skills. Likewise, the three low slots in the Amarr [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Tormentor Tormentor], allows you to fit a armor tank in the low slots. | In a frigate, your options are limited but vary a little based on your racial frigate.

Cruiser is where you begin to have serious options for defense. Cruisers have drone bays capable of holding several drones. At this point, you should train your drone skills up. [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Arbitrator Amarr] and [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Vexor Gallente] cruisers get a yield bonus to mining drones so carry those and fit a couple of guns in your high slots. [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Osprey Caldari] and [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Scythe Minmatar] cruisers get a yield bonus to mining lasers so carry combat drones and fit mining lasers. Light scout drones can used relatively quickly, need only Drones trained to III and | Cruiser is where you begin to have serious options for defense.

If you are mining in a BS, play with your fit to see if you get a better yield with mining lasers or drones and fit your ship appropriately. If you are in an exhumer or mining barge, the yield on your strip miners makes mining drones pointless so fit combat drones as your skills allow. | If you are mining in a BS, play with your fit to see if you get a better yield with mining lasers or drones and fit your ship appropriately.
