Any mining op I have been a part of the ocra pilot sits there with his knob in his hand. He generally has an alt doing mining in a hulk. I am the hauler for most ops (since I don't have mining skills) and use my itty5 with GSC's. If I used a freighter that would be boring, part of my bonus is the salvage and loot from rats. I would not be able to do that.

Start the day off slow and taper off from there.

Super thread necro!

High-volume fleets could put the boosting orca in the belt and have the miners drop into the fleet hangar where the freighter could pull from. Much more capacity than a container, less frequent switching to the freighter alt.

It should be done in Ice Belts to.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Especially while at war.

I know every time I find a freighter supporting miners, I take some time to get it a good healthy 50km bump. Those lumbering beasts take FOREVER to get back in position.

More fodder in the belts for the suicide monkeys.

I mean, if you had the choice between popping a 190k EHP ship worth 1.5bil or a 250k EHP ship worth 0.8bil, which one would you preferably pop?

Both of them.
