''The Kronos update in June 2014 reduced the mining output of the Procurer, and gave it speed bonuses that actually made it harder to mine aligned. As a result, mining in low-sec is now even less profitable than it used to be. I am not going to be hosting any future low-sec mining ops, but the info here is useful, so I'll keep the page up.'' | |||
Mining vessels are vulnerable to combat ships, and so AMC miners sometimes hesitate to mine in low-security space. To be sure, mining barges and exhumers are slow to warp, have less capacitor than other ships, have little room for weapons, and spend most of their time at asteroid belts that potential aggressors can directly warp to. But this doesn't mean that it's unsafe to mine! Unistas '''can''' mine productively under threat, especially in an Orca-boosted Shared-Can op. The purpose of this page is to provide a fleet doctrine that provides maximum safety, and even the potential for PvP response, to AMC miners in low sec. | Mining vessels are vulnerable to combat ships, and so AMC miners sometimes hesitate to mine in low-security space.
