* Check the [http://www.eve-ivy.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=25250 Aldrat: Current Ore Prices] thread to see what the most valuable ores are and mine those first. Many ops will just strip an entire asteroid field so sometimes this won't matter. | * Check the [http://www.eve-ivy.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=25250 Aldrat: Current Ore Prices] thread to see what the most valuable ores are and mine those first.

* Try not to mine the same exact rock someone else is mining. This requires looking at what you're doing when switching rocks. | * Try not to mine the same exact rock someone else is mining. This requires looking at what you're doing when switching rocks. | ||
* In the same vein, try to have each mining laser targeted on a different rock; keep your lasers spread out. (Some mining battleships may be unable to do this unless they have Multitasking skill.) | |||
* When the rocks are fewer in number than the fleet's mining laser count, short cycle your lasers. This means, cut off their cycles part-way through (capacitor permitting!) so that you won't lose a full cycle on an almost empty asteroid. | * When the rocks are fewer in number than the fleet's mining laser count, short cycle your lasers.

* If you have a scanner fitted, feel free to use it to target the biggest asteroids first, and know when to short-cycle your lasers (or send drones to finish off an asteroid). | * If you have a scanner fitted, feel free to use it to target the biggest asteroids first, and know when to short-cycle your lasers (or send drones to finish off an asteroid). | ||
