howabout advanced weapon upgrades and advanced drone interfacing?

Please suggest how those skills would make a return on investment for a miner.

"2 x Miners on 2 accounts = Both miners can be used together = No wasted SP"

What will you spend the SP from account 1 on? The miner on that account is fully trained.


I guess if all you want to train for is mining nothing once you get all your mining skills up. I'm running into this with my mission pilot at the moment. I'm just saying if you had them on separate accounts you would double your ISK per hour. Right now you have two pilots on one account that do exactly the same thing. It's your PLEX though so I'm not one to tell you how to play. I just thought it didn't seem efficient or logical.

If you had 1 fully trained miner and 1 training miner you would not double your isk by having them on separate accounts. The new miner has low yield. If you for example mine the fully trained miner enough to get 700 000 000 isk every month, so you can plex it and have 70M to spare, then the new miner would not be able to pay for itself until very late in the training.
Hence, you train the new miner on the finished miner account instead of on its own account.
I have thought this through, training the new miner on the finished miner account is the efficient way.

Following your logic, it is correct it isn't worth training, assuming you spend eternity creating new miners.

As soon as you reach your preferred amount of miners, with all of them on separate accounts, fully trained with the exception of Exhumers 5, you are going to train it.

It's not a question wether it's worth training. It's a question when the inevitable occurs.

Sadario, as previously stated a bunch of times, my logic on Exhumer V is to only train it if I will mine that toon with a hulk more than 700 hours (more than 2100 hours if mackinaw).
Once I reached my preferred amount of miners I would begin training other types of toons, perhaps offer my corp to order the ones they need (I could churn out many at one time).
So, no, your statement "It's not a question wether it's worth training." is wrong.

Stop turning this game into a god damn spreadsheet...how hard is it to just play\enjoy the game.

If there are skills that benefit you more and take less than that lvl 5 do those first, in any other case just run the damn skill for a month and play the game.


I'm going to frame this above my computer.

What I want to know is how the OP got 400,000,000ISK out of a 20+ day skill?

CODE is just a bunch of pirates; smart, organized pirates. It doesn't help to rage at them because that is exactly what they want. Dust yourself off and get back on your feet, you don't even have to talk to them.

It costs 600 000 000 isk to plex your account for 30 days, hence 20 days of gametime is 400 000 000 isk.
