*Check the [http://www.eve-ivy.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=25250 Aldrat: Current Ore Prices] thread to see what the most valuable ores are and mine those first. Many ops will just strip an entire asteroid field so sometimes this won't matter.

*Try not to mine the same exact rock someone else is mining. This requires looking at what you're doing when switching rocks.

*In the same vein, try to have each mining laser targeted on a different rock; keep your lasers spread out. (Some mining battleships may be unable to do this unless they have ~~Multitasking~~ skill.)

*In the same vein, try to have each mining laser targeted on a different rock; keep your lasers spread out. (Some mining battleships may be unable to do this unless they have Advanced Target Management skill.)

*When the rocks are fewer in number than the fleet's mining laser count, short cycle your lasers. This means, cut off their cycles part-way through (capacitor permitting!) so that you won't lose a full cycle on an almost empty asteroid.

*If you have a scanner fitted, feel free to use it to target the biggest asteroids first, and know when to short-cycle your lasers (or send drones to finish off an asteroid).
