Mining Doctrine: Mining During Wartime ("Procs on Rocks")
Mining vessels are vulnerable to war targets (WTs), and so Unistas sometimes hesitate to mine with their UNI characters during wartime. 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 WTs can directly warp to. But this doesn't mean that it's unsafe to mine at AMC with your UNI character! Unistas can mine safely, especially in an Orca-boosted Shared-Can op. The purpose of this page is to propose a fleet doctrine that provides maximum safety to AMC miners when E-UNI is at war.
The doctrine boils down to a few simple rules:
Unistas should mine in Procurers.
| Procurer | Retriever | Covetor | Skiff | Mackinaw | Hulk | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Relative Mining Efficiency* | 86% | 94% | 100% | 93% | 102% | 116% |
| Effective Hit Points** | 60,000 | 14,000 | 11,000 | 67,000 | 30,000 | 23,000 |
| Price (isk)*** | 16,000,000 | 26,500,000 | 30,000,000 | 124,000,000 | 179,000,000 | 217,000,000 |
The Procurer mines about 92% as efficiently as a Retriever, and about 86% as efficiently as a Covetor
