Well for one thing, if you're gonna mine in highsec, you're gonna need a mining permit to keep from getting ganked and podded. You can purchase one good for a whole year for only 10 million ISK from one of our accommodating agents. See www.minerbumping.com for details. ;)

Highsec is owned by players now. Systems 0.5-1.0 are New Order Territory. All miners and other residents of Highsec must obey The Code. Mining without a permit is dangerous and harmful to the EVE community. See www.MinerBumping.com

rofl, or you can just mine without interruption by not mining in the one system you guys have your circle jerk in.

I find that if I am out with my Mackinaw I do about 6m ISK per cargo hold (atter refining).

PLEX has come down a bit but let's assume that it's higher than it is at 600m ISK.

So, if you did four ore holds a day, every day, then you can mine for a living. Easy enough in Empire.

How fast and how many and what?

And what fitting u have :)

I can harvest atm aprox near 4k pyro in 3 min
and 2 ice in 156 sec

processing ore is near max so I earn 10-15m p/h but I'm mostly afk so I do ice it goes much lower money aprox 5-7m p/h

last i checked you could fill a mack in 20-25 mins, so you could easily be making 10m+ per hour. 60 hours mining for a plex, 2hrs per day. really isn't much. especially when you can be making dinner, or watching your favourite tv show while doing it.

Yes, but I don't worry about what I have too much, but it's tfairly bog standard fit

[Mackinaw, HiSec]

2x Modulated Strip Miner II (Pyroxeres Mining Crystal II)

Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Shield Recharger II
EM Ward Field II

2x Mining Laser Upgrade I

2x Medium Core Defense Field Extender I

5x Hobgoblin II


I am not an optimum miner because I may miss the rock running out for a few minutes so I don't concern myself with ISK/hour.

But I do note that, as I say, four ore holds a day would pay for itself. When I am mining that;s all that I am concerned about; get out there and get my quota.

Being all hung up on ISK/hr doesn't come into it when you're mining; if it takes four ore loads a day then it takes four ore loads a day and that's that.
