Mining drones will mine the targeted asteroid for one cycle (60 seconds), then return to your ship, drop off the mined ore (into your cargo bay or mining hold), and fly back to the asteroid to continue mining. Despite these drones having a MWD that is always running, they are very slow (about half as fast as heavy combat drones), and therefore it's important to keep your ship as close as possible to the asteroid they are mining, to avoid losing too much time in transit. Training {{sk|Mining Drone Operation|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Drone Interfacing|icon=yes}} improves their mining yield, and training {{sk|Drone Navigation|icon=yes}} increases their speed. | Mining drones will mine the targeted asteroid for one cycle (60 seconds), then return to your ship, drop off the mined ore (into your cargo bay or mining hold), and fly back to the asteroid to continue mining.
