A mining ship needs to have high slots to accommodate mining lasers, and room for at least one drone. The drone(s) will be needed to fight off the small number of Belt Pirates that will attack a miner. One or two Light Combat Drones will generally be sufficient. If you have room, you may want to carry a Salvage Drone to salvage the wrecks of the pirates that you kill. If you have a very large drone bay, you may want to carry a set of Mining Drones - however, these drones do not add a whole lot to your mining capacity, and many miners do not use them at all. | A mining ship needs to have high slots to accommodate mining lasers, and room for at least one drone.
