Miners will also be given a belt/warp-out assignment at the beginning. Miners will | Miners will also be given a belt/warp-out assignment at the beginning. Miners will warp to one of their pair of assigned warp-in points, and then always "Align To" one of the two opposing warp-out points at at least 75% max velocity. In case of danger, just warp out! In this scheme, miners are only vulnerable while they are reversing direction, switching between a "Fwd" and "Back" bookmark (or, in the case of mining an ore anomaly, between the "Sunwd" and "Outwd" bookmarks) because they have reached the edge of the mining area. The alignment axes are set up to maximize the distance between miners and the warp-in beacon that aggressors will typically use to reach the belt. | ||
Miners will jet-can ore, just as they do in a high-sec shared-can op. Where they deposit those cans depends on the op and the type of mining vessel used. In Procurers (with their smaller ore holds), miners will need to jettison frequently, and so they will usually be dropping cans in the belt/anomaly. This works well for the miner, but not as well for the hauler that has to pick up the cans, because the hauler is vulnerable in the belt (and not as well tanked as the Procurer). In Retrievers, miners won't need to drop cans as frequently, so miners can release cans after warping out to their assigned warp-out point. The hauler can then retrieve the cans at that out-of-belt point. In either mining vessel, if the miner is forced to dock by aggression, the miner can keep ore in their station inventory until the FC can trade for it in-station. | Miners will jet-can ore, just as they do in a high-sec shared-can op.
