This fit is more expensive in order to make it work for alphas and is not recommended for omegas. | ||
With this, alphas will have the same 32m<sup>3</sup> cycle yield as the baseline for omegas described below. Alphas will not be able to do the Outer rocks with the Inner/Outer field split, but can do Inner rocks as well as other field splits. | With this, alphas will have the same 32m<sup>3</sup> cycle yield as the baseline for omegas described below.

Getting at least 32m<sup>3</sup> yield per 15 second cycle on your miners allows you to finish each rock in 3 cycles. If you are responsible for 6 rocks, this means you can finish in 90 seconds. The shortest waves are 120 seconds, giving you a 30 second margin for targeting, cycling, mistakes, and other lost ticks. This works well. | Getting at least 32m<sup>3</sup> yield per 15 second cycle on your miners allows you to finish each rock in 3 cycles.

You can start mining using the "Far T1 Pioneer" fit below with {{ | You can start mining using the "Far T1 Pioneer" fit below with {{Co|SteelBlue|'''Mining Destroyer 2, Mining 4, Astrogeology 1, Mining Upgrades 1''' (34,747 SP)}}. At this point, you can mine the inner rocks or split the site with your Pioneer partner some other way. Your next milestone is {{Co|SteelBlue|'''Mining Destroyer 4''' (another 72,182 SP)}}<ref>For this breakpoint, you actually don't need Astrogeology 1. If you jump straight here, you can technically save those 750 SP and leave Astrogeology untrained. Astrogeology will be needed if you decide to continue training.</ref>, this gives you enough range to reach all the outer rocks. This is a fine place to stop and work on drone skills, support skills, and fitting skills. | ||
If you want to push further and become the Pioneer veteran that carries newer miners, saves sites from failures, and munches rocks just so very fast then train to {{ | If you want to push further and become the Pioneer veteran that carries newer miners, saves sites from failures, and munches rocks just so very fast then train to {{Co|SteelBlue|'''Mining Destroyer 5, Mining 5, Astrogeology 3, Mining Upgrades 4''' (another 687,498 SP; total 794,427 SP)}}. This gives you 48m<sup>3</sup> per cycle theoretically finishing 6 rocks in 60 seconds. Your range was already good enough, but now it will be 32km! The biggest danger at this point is being sensor dampened to below your mining range: ask your bunny to kill Ravenous Vedmaks, politely ask if anyone has a Remote Sensor Booster, or use a Mobile Depot to fit a Signal Amplifier or local Sensor Booster. | ||
We favor meta scoped miners for our loaner Pioneers for two reasons: they have significantly more range than Miner IIs and leave more ore for slightly higher income. For your own fits, Miner IIs can be excellent as they have both higher yield and also residue which can hugely speed up your mining and give you much larger safety margin. If you use Miner IIs, be aware that your mining range may limit what field splits you can do. | We favor meta scoped miners for our loaner Pioneers for two reasons: they have significantly more range than Miner IIs and leave more ore for slightly higher income.
