you will find yourself hardperessed trying to get your iskies for a plex , with only mining even with maxed out characters and t2 ships and modules you only looking at 15 mil/ hour
and even that depends on what you are mining and where you are selling the minerals

You could however increase that income by actually using those minerals for production , the bpc s needed are relative cheap and you can get a good profit margin depends again where you selling them, small hint med and large ammo at the mission hubs , hint hint ( do some research )

It takes time but eventually you can buy your own plex each month and still have plenty of money left but it takes some good planning and alot of effort to set it up

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

In high sec, with a max trained hulk and a max trained orca boosting, you're looking at around 15-18m an hour per miner, assuming very little waste (your waste can get quite high however, reducing your profits, especially if you mostly mine afk--waste includes roids depleting, missing cycles, moving to new belts, missing boosted cycles from orca unloads, etc).

If only using 2 accounts, 2x hulks is technically better yield-wise, but the ease that you gain from having the orca to dump into makes it very nice for mostly afk play. I usually tend to lean toward better income for less effort, but that's just me (I'm so lazy).

a maxed out, orca boosted highsec hulk (fitted for max yield) with t2 mining drones makes max 12-14mil/h. i dont know where other people get their numbers(18mil wtf?) but thats what i earn mining the most profitable ore at the moment. and i dont do afk mining, so if you're looking to finance 2 toons by mining you're gonna have to invest a lot of time and isk in skills and equipment.

ps whoever is mining using 1 hulk and 1 orca is a dumbass

saint god, HAULING TIMES!
also, 110*2400*60, it isn't hard. per hulk, with no drones, that's it.

2 hulks mine ~25% more than 1hulk+orca.

also, orca costs 400mil, thats twise as much as a hulk, now im not gonna do the math, but i imagine it takes a lot of hauling trips and hours mining to make those 200 extra mil worth it.

orca is only profitable if you have 2+ hulks mining with you, otherwise you wont be making any profit for a while.

ah, thanks.

since i've had an orca since forever (right after they came out) i don't really factor in it's cost.

You'll still be making a profit, just a bit slower. But an orca + hulk requires less attention (not needing to dock every few minutes makes a big difference).

I admit that I never did orca + hulk, I jumped straight from 1 hulk to orca + 3 hulks, but if I were to only use 2 accounts I'd use orca + hulk because I'm lazy, even though I know I could make more with 2 hulks. Of course, since I'm lazy, I only ice mine these days lol.

mining in high sec sucks for income.... you'd be better off just training up a second mission runner

then run a tank ship and a gank ship for missions.... breeze through l4's in no time.

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

High-sec mining afk for a plex - not going to happen.

Mining for a plex in general? Yeah it's possible, but not afk. This would require joining an established 0.0 corp with an upgraded system.

What is your lesser of two evils? Not afk or not affording a PLEX?
