:''This will deal only with dedicated mining ships (mining frigates, mining barges and exhumers). For information on fitting a [[Noctis]], [[Primae]], [[Orca]], or [[Rorqual]], please see their dedicated ship pages.'' | |||
To fit a mining ship, start by deciding whether the ship will be used for asteroid, ice or gas mining (a ship cannot be fitted to do all three at once). This choice will determine what harvesting modules are needed in the high slots: | |||
* Mining Lasers or Strip Miners for asteroid mining | |||
* Ice Harvesters for ice mining | |||
* Gas Cloud Harvesters for gas mining. | |||
The low-slot Mining Laser Upgrade and Ice Harvester Upgrade modules increase the yield of asteroid and ice miners, respectively (there is no equivalent module for gas miners). The only rig which increases mining yield is the [[Fitting_Modules_and_Rigs_Guide#Drone|Mining Augmentor]] rig, however, it only increases the yield for [[Drones#Mining Drones|mining drones]]. Lastly, the only mid-slot module dedicated to mining is the survey scanner (which shows how much ore/ice is available in nearby asteroids). | |||
All the mining ships are shield tanked, and therefore most of their mid-slots and rigs, some of their low-slots, are dedicated to mounting a stronger tank. For details on fitting shield-tanked ships see [[shield tanking]]; depending on whether you will be flying to more dangerous areas of space (and how risk-averse you are), you will dedicate more or fewer slots to your tank. | |||
=== Mining lasers === | |||
Mining lasers harvest asteroids, and are the most basic mining module. They have a cycle time of 60 seconds. Note that these require a free turret slot on a ship, and can therefore not be fitted to Mining Barges or Exhumers (these ships use Strip Miners). | |||
