There are several common drone configurations used by miners in [[Mining Barges]] and [[Exhumers]]:

* A full flight (five) of [[Drones#Mining Drones|mining drones]] to maximise ore yield. This is most commonly used in mining fleets, where one flight of combat drones (flown, for instance, from an [[Orca]]) is enough to provide protection from rats for the whole fleet, allowing the mining ships to concentrate on maximising their yield. The most commonly used mining drones are the Mining Drone I and the Mining Drone II; the Harvester Mining Drone (which can only be flown effectively by Exhumers and the Covetor, as it needs 10 Mbit/s of drone bandwidth, compared with 5 Mbit/s for the other mining drones) is very slow and obscenely expensive, and is therefore rarely used. Keep in mind that all drones need to travel between your ship and the asteroid they are mining, so move as close as possible to the asteroid to keep their travel time down to a minimum.
