Mining Doctrine: Mining During Wartime ("Procs on Rocks")

Mining vessels are vulnerable to war targets (WTs), and this sometimes make Unistas hesitatnt to mine with their UNI characters. 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 mining fleets during wartime.

The doctrine boils down to a few simple rules:

1. 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

The Procurer mines about 92% as efficiently as a Retriever, and about 86% as efficiently as a Covetor

2.
