Hiya. Is there an effective gallente cruiser for use as a ninja miner?

INB4 "Better off just buying them"

On a serious note, not really. Cruisers just don't do this very well, and there is no Gallente "mining" cruiser to boot. Best of the worst would be a Vexor with mining drones and a ton of ECM drones for when you will inevitably need to gtfo.

Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

If a gallants boat is bad, what would a better choice be?
Training up to a frigate/ cruiser won't take long.


As to why? More exciting than buying from the market.

The Vexor is the Gallente mining cruiser. Instead of a Mining Laser bonus though it has a bonus for Drone Mining Yield.

A lot of new pilots fly the exequor because it can fit several mining lasers and has a big cargo bay.

A cruiser won't escape a camp with at least one SBed BC.

Anything that can fit an MWD + Cloak + the mining lasers/drones. Learn the trick. Vexor would probably work pretty well in that regard and you can carry combat + mining drones.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.
