Hi ya'll

My question here is which mining ship is better to use
For being faster at mining asteroids?

Anything better then a hulk?

Thanks:-)

The hulk wins for yield.
For other variables, there are countless threads a google search will bring up for you.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I approve of anyone who uses hulks to mine.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Hulk - Highest maxium Yield
Mackinaw - Biggest Cargo hold and thus easiest to mine unsuported
Skiff - Best resitances, will survive the longest
Venture - Best speed and agility, rather low yield compared to any of the above.

Best overall is probably the Mackinaw. Has a decent tank, and a very good ore hold. Plus its yield is pretty good too. And the best mining booster is the Orca for high sec.

You can put a 30k gank tank on a Mack. I've lost one to a suicide gank. One. Out of ten attempts this month. And that one was a dedicated neg ten gang from the neighboring low sec system that I was mining beside.

Add to that the huge ore hold that makes semi-afk mining a thing to do while you are posting in the forum or running sites and you have yourself a nice little ship.

GOD I WISH THEY HAD THE VENTURE WHEN I WAS A NOOBLET.

I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.
