Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out how i get the max possible mining yield in a retriever. In EFT i made this fit:

Carpo Mining Laser Upgrade
Aoede Mining Laser Upgrade
Aoede Mining Laser Upgrade

Modulated Strip Miner II
Modulated Strip Miner II

Medium Drone Mining Augmentor I
Medium Drone Mining Augmentor II
Medium Drone Mining Augmentor II

Mining Drone II

with all skills trained to max, and a 5% highwall implant, this is the yield p/m according to EFT: 1756 p/m.

I took the carpo and aoede MLU's to spare the CPU. CPU is now 250/251.

any suggestions to maximize it more?

Hmm....

Carpo Mining Laser Upgrade = 200 million ISK
Aoede Mining Laser Upgrade = 500 million ISK (minimum price on Eve Central), 900 million from Jita

So minimum 1.2 billion ISK just for the MLUs. I'd call that a gank target, not a mining boat.

Let's see...

[Retriever, Mining Barge advanced]
Mining Laser Upgrade II
Mining Laser Upgrade II
Mining Laser Upgrade II

[empty med slot]

Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal II
Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal II

Medium Drone Mining Augmentor II
Medium Drone Mining Augmentor I
Medium Processor Overclocking Unit I

Mining Drone II x5

1729 with maxed skills and a 5% mining implant (according to EFT) and won't attract every ganker this side of the Eve Gate.

Edited: Changed the rigs and added the highwall effect.

Yeah. Put some officer shield thing in the midslot.

But even without that, you're basically sticking a big red blinking sign on that barge: GANK ME!

Most retriever ganks I've looked at lately include the pod. I have two chars with the 5% implant, but honestly I wouldn't put anything but a 3% anymore now, when sitting in a retriever regularly.

I didn't look for prices, just for max yield. But this set up is much better! And the yield doesn't differ that much!

Great Fitting! Thanks!

I wouldn't either, and I personally wouldn't use the fit that I posted (I prefer a DCU II in the low), but he did ask for max yield.

I'm mining for a few weeks in another system than usual, and never ever happens out there! No pirates, No fighters, just miners and sometimes a single hauler. so i don't bother defense at all. The extra yield covers the possibility of blown to pieces once a few months.

What system is that?
