There are many ways to participate in a mining operation. Most newer players will, of course, be mining in a mining frigate or cruiser. Newer players can also be effective haulers once they have a reasonably fitted industrial ([Creating an Alt Hauler#Reference|this shows] how much common, unrigged industrial ships carry). | |||
== Miner == | == Miner == | ||
Participating as a miner is very simple. Essentially, after joining the fleet, you'll warp to one of the fleet members, target your asteroids, and activate your miners. The ore will be placed in a specified JetCan or a specified Orca Corporation Hangar. | |||
== Hauler == | == Hauler == | ||
Participating as a hauler is also very straight-forward. You will take the ore from the designated JetCan or Orca Hangar and, when your hauler is full, drop it off at a designated station. | |||
At the end of the operation, or when you're leaving the op, you should either give the ore to the commander at the designated station, or contract it to him at that station. (Please "stack all" the ore before contracting it!) | |||
== Orca == | == Orca == | ||
Participating as an Orca pilot is an advanced subject and beyond the scope of this guide. Almost all ops can benefit from one Orca and larger ones can benefit from two or more. | |||
== Other Participation == | == Other Participation == | ||
After an op is complete, the ore still needs to be refined, the minerals transported and sold, and the shares distributed. If you are willing and able to assist with any of these things, let the fleet commander know and he may just take you up on them. These details are beyond the scope of this guide. | |||
