EVE General Discussion

My only tip for mining is this... Get some friends and just shoot the s**t while you kill the roids.

Or find a good film to watch/book to read.

make a new post in new player Q&A or Warfare and Tactics, your just going to get trolled to death here.

One helpful (maybe) suggestion is that you perform manufactuing/industry jobs while you mine and/or multibox

You expect to get a serious response with that title?

Maybe you should add some more details like: Where did you mine? What ship did you use? etc.

Never had anyone bumping me around, just the usual can flippers from time to time.

Mine in grav sites or in mission deadspace and generally avoid busy systems.

Always prefer a buffer tank above a active tank for your mining ships.

Do not expect to get madly rich anytime soon.

I mine a fair bit and I don't experience any griefing. Try finding an out of the way place to mine. During organized events like Hulkageddon, I just log and play other games, generally.

Mining was never assured to be safe. No one is space.

The main idea of mining as a career, is finding a corp, mining in a remote or less populated area and in a big group, or as said, mining in sites or hidden places.


People don't hate miners.
They just wish to play the part of being jerks or just want an easy pray.
You are mistaking bored and stupidity with hate.

If you find a decent place to mine, you should have no problems making money and mine quietly until you are bored to death from waiting for cycle, move ore, waiting for cycle, more ore, waiting for cycle, move ore...

Anyway, good luck mining.

Obviously, as stated above multiple times, mine in quiet out-of-the-way systems.

Two other suggestions:

- Consider mining in mission space - i.e., run a mission, and if it has roids in it, don't turn the mission in right away after you complete it. Instead, haul your mining ship into the mission and mine out the roids in there.

- Scan out hisec grav sites and mine those out. Can be somewhat competitive, meaning you will often find others already in there mining. However, if you find grav sites in out-of-the way, quiet systems, you're usually going to be alone.

Hope this helps!

I suggest you move deep down into 0.0 space. Tons of roids, nobody will bother you there. Honest.

Some careers demand more cooperation than others. Industry the most... well, we're all a part of industry. Someone mines or salvages, someone researches, someone produces, and at some point it's all getting destroyed anyways. Maybe that's the most important part, it gives industrialists a reason to keep going.

Mining is hard. Hisec mining alone is pointless unless you can be elated by a few million isk a day. Losec mining alone is virtually impossible. Nullsec mining alone is a lottery and all of the odds suck.

Find friends, find trust. Try multiple careers and see which you're better at, and then focus on skilltraining for that career because, unless you sit on a soap box for your living, getting every job done better demands better skilltraining to go with it.

Mining is hard, being alone is hard and being new is hard. Good company will help with all three.
