You need Mining Upgrades 5 and a 3%CPU implant (5%if you want to fit an Asteroid Scanner). It has 4600 Cargo Hold, which is just enough to hold the output of one cycles of the miners. If you add in drones, be prepared to stagger your beams so you can dump to can before filling up.

First, no fitting on a Covetor will survive a suicide gank. (Hey, if you can get a Hulk, A Covetor doesn't stand much of a chance)

Second, I've used this in 0.5 and taken a spawn of 4 rats w/o trouble. (it helps that I have T2 drones and high drones skills)

Third, I can make enough in 1-2 evenings of mining to pay for a replacement ship with this fitting.

Agreed.

If you're fitting anything to your high-sec cov for tank besides drones youre doing it wrong.

All I see here is "added value" to anyone who blows you up, what with F-S9's being pretty pricey. People keep talking of fits that can tank a destroyer, but as best as I can tell you end up with the mining capacity of your 5 drones. Or at least close enough that it hardly seems worth dumping close to the post-insurance cost of the hull into the attempt rather than just mining aligned, or in the ass-end of nowhere, or aligned in the ass-end of nowhere.

If it's saved you from a gank before, that's cool and all, but I'd want to look closely at the difference between losing that and losing an "enough to see off belt rats" fit... barges are gank-fodder even if destroyers suddenly vanished so you're *going* to get popped by someone who brought a decent suicide fit I'd expect.

About 2.47 Thrashers, or 2.13 Catalysts, or .79 Tornadoes.

Are these in 1.0? Btw, you forgot to include effect of those ECM drones.

Now this is a puzzle to me. In the starter systems rookies get can fliped all the time when mining with a frigate.
So now you are talking about serious mining to a can why is it that nobody bothers can flipping a covetor?
These days there is probably 4 or 5 million worth of ore in that can.

The best practical cargo hold you will get out of a Covetor is 6k m3, assuming 3 rigs and one expander (you really should be using at least one mining laser upgrade)

So no matter what, you are going to be mining to a can, as with even 6k m3, you will only fit 2 cycles. I do the majority of my mining in a gang with Indy or Orca support, so jet-can mining is not a problem.

The whole point of this is highlighting the new Overclock rig (as I checked forum and saw nobody else post it) as a way to get 2 mining laser upgrades onto a Covater. This narrows the (yield) gap between Hulk to just the Exhumer (3% per level) bonus. For high-sec miners trying to be less of a target during Hulkageddon, this should prove useful.

If you know what you are doing, you can buy this for 50 mil ISK, which is 5 hours of solo mining or 3 with Orca help.

In my experience with eve so far nobody is going to let you get away with 5 hours of solo mining into a can.
You will be griefed at least once an hour while mining. Just when your can is about full somebody will come along and seal it.
That is the way of eve. If you have an orca grabing all of your cans then maybe this works as part of a gang. But solo forget it.

I'm sure you are quite right. That being the case, I'm sure people would prefer to loose a can instead of a Hulk. This coudl be debated for weeks, but the root of the discussion is this; Mine out of a Covetor and can and you can risk losing 5mil of ore (possibly a 50 mil ship if someone is being an ass) or mine out of a Hulk for 15% more yield, but risk losing a 300mil+ship to someone looking to make 10 mil ISK.

Really it is a close call, the Hulk makes 1/6-7 more ore than the Covetor, but it 6-7 times the cost.

Not true, I've mined many hours with one of my alts flying by and hauling and nobody's bothered to flip me. I really would welcome their company though, here's my fit:

Good ship Lollypop (Domi)

3xMining Laser II's
2xHeavy Unstable Neuts
1xSmall Unstable Neut

2xWeb IIs
1xPassive Targeter II
1xWarp Scrambler II
1xHeavy Cap Booster II w/800's

2xLAR II's
2xEANM II's
1xDC II
1x1600 RT Plate
1xDrone Damage Amp II

2xTrimark I's
1xAnti Explosive

Drones including Warrior II's, Mining Drones, Ogre II's, Medium ECM, and T2 mediums

While not the best mining ship, it does allow me to kill time skilling, and like I said people seem hesitant to flip my cans. P

To the OP, good setup, losing a covetor mining is hardly noticible in most people's wallets. It will be fun to see what we can do with the new Exhumers.....

if you're constantly getting blapped or stolen from you are mining in the wrong system/constellation/region i rarely ever get messed with. i think someone flipped me a week ago. we had a chat , he offered it back and i let him keep it i see him mining at the same belt here and there and he hasnt done it again. other than that ive been at the same ice belt for a couple weeks, i jet can 5 cans of ice on 2 accounts before having one get the orca to pick it all up. anywhere from 1-125 cubes just sitting there and no one messes with it. (not that it won't eventually happen)

and YES covetors are the way to go. using one over clock rig, two cargo rigs 1 cargo expander and 1 ice harvest upgrade, i get 1 full cycle, and the second fills up the cargo but deactivates one laser. (6k cargo and 5.5m cycle) using 3% yeti and 3% cpu plants. this fit costs about 55m-60m including hull. i generally have 2 accounts out ice chipping making me about 20m an hour so ship could be replaced in 3 hours. but i already have about 6 clone fit ships ready to go Big smile
