Mining: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

* '''Low level of involvement needed''': In most scenarios, miners only need to be active 5 seconds for every 3 minutes (to target new asteroids) and an extra 1 minute for every 30 minutes (to unload the full cargo of mined ore in station).

* '''Guaranteed income''': Mining products are always in high demand because ships and structures which were blown up have to be replaced, and replacing ships and structures need materials.

* '''Fun factor''': Mining is mostly a team effort with FCs, Scouts, Boosters & Haulers and this is big fun!!! Sometimes you are invited to play mining 'bait' for [[WHC]] fleets. Which is awesome!

* '''Income''': If you join the [[AMC]] or participate in a mining fleet your income will be boosted to about 14~24 Million per hour or more for ORE mining in HiSec. For ICE mining & GAS Huffing you can crank this up to much higher rates.

===Disadvantages of mining over other professions===

* '''Skill intensive''': Despite the low entry cost, it takes a lot of training time to become an efficient miner.

* '''Skill intensive''': Despite the low entry cost, it takes a lot of training time to become an efficient miner. Then again for any specialization this is valid.

* '''Nontransferable skills''': Mining skills are useful only for mining.

* '''Fun factor''': The amount of fun that is involved in mining depends of the kind of activity you like. Some people in EVE tend to find more fun in blowing up ships or being blown up. But there are many other roles you can play~~! Mining is mostly a team effort with FCs, Scouts, Boosters & Haulers and this is big fun!!!

* '''Income ceiling''': As a beginner solo miner you probably earn about 10 Million ISK per hour in High Security space. But if you join the [[AMC]] or participate in a mining fleet this will be boosted to about 14~24 Million per hour or more for ORE mining in HiSec. For ICE mining & GAS Huffing you can crank this up to much higher rates. Mining in non HiSec systems mostly brings more isk/hour but the risk will also be higher.

* '''Income ceiling solo''': As a beginner solo ORE miner you probably earn about 10 Million ISK per hour in High Security space. Mining in non HiSec systems mostly brings more isk/hour but the risk of being ganked will also be higher.
