Being able to mine in low / null / wh space in relative safety is good and all. But being able to refit the ship with a mobile depot, for data, relic, gas and salvaging makes this ship so much fun its silly. Map a system out with a core prob launcher and away you go.

Use cargo expanders in the lows or bring a cloaky hauler alt. Hours of fun. Gas isk per m3 is good same for data and relic sites.

As long as you keep an eye on D scan when others are in system you will be fine. Cloak up at first sign of trouble.. I imagine ill fall prey to a sb armed with rockets or a Stratios one day but the fun / isk factor is worth it.

I know I could make the same amount of money watching cat vids on youtube mining in high sec afk like every one else but where's the fun in that.

Is any one else loving the balls off this ship?
I recommend it to all high sec miners that never venture into null or low give it a try. That is what it was designed for and mission accomplished perfect ship.

Yeah, I have an alt that runs around with a depot doing that to ninja wormhole gas.

It's decent money (much better than actual exploration), and it's fun and engaging what's more.

Depends on the size of the balls you have to work with I guess. I managed with to fit mine with Advanced "Weapon" Upgrades 3. Balls any larger would make the ship look smaller and that may be a bad thing when your trying to raid a worm hole.

Love it as an accessory to my dual account Orca WH nomad roams. But my lows are completely different.

If any one is just using it to ore mine in low sec your doing it wrong. get some scanning skills. use a mobile deport do sites as well.

It is a fantastic ship.

Fit with warp stab (or inertia stab, if you like faster warps rather than guaranteed ones)
3 mining upgrades.

small shield booster,
eccm
AB

miners, cloak,

ccc rig
and 2 cpu rigs..

it has the benefit of being VERY difficult to probe out
perma-runs at 1 kms
perma reps the with the booster, so with the 30-33m sig, it tanks literally every npc.

great for not being found.

get the bonus of either cloak or warp when some one comes at ya. (paying attention is 100% chance to get away from cloakers, because everyone's sensor recovery is longer than your cloak AND align time)

and it mines more than a retriever.

Good for you, OP. If I ever got into mining I'm sure this would be the style. At the moment I'm having fun with a cloaky Stratios so hopefully we bump into each other some time.

Out of interest do the ore site improvements in lowsec make it at all worthwhile?

I mean use the mobile depot thing. refit you ship in space, take off mining lasers, map out the system with a probe launcher, then refit your ship and clear data / gas / relic sites. I'm just saying don't just use it for ore mining only, if you take the right modules for the sites mentioned you can maximize your isk making.

That said I have high probe skills and hacking and archaeology to 5 some people might not be able to do as well with out bonuses from covert ops ships etc.

They would make it worth while. However the best money is in gas it is great isk per m3 . I also cherry pick data and relic sites while im in the low / null systems as the good stuff does not take up much cargo room. After clearing all gas / data / relic sites.. I refit for ore mining at mobile depot and grab as much ore as I can before heading home.

I'm training a alt to fly a viator as we speak, so my low / null sec expeditions wont be restricted as much by cargo space.

But yes just to mine ore its worth it. And even more money if you grab deep core mining and train that up and go to a null sec ( just a boarder system don't go balls deep ) you can mine Mercoxit that stuff is very nice. Not mined it myself yet as haven't trained deep core mining.

My English spelling and grammar are poor. hope im explaining my play style in a semi understandable manner.

P.S If I see you in local ill be sure to cloak up, The stratios scares the hell out of me... only real threat to a prospect. Thanks for the heads up .. then again im always aligned and have a tiny sig radius would hopfully get away

Beaten to it.

Prospect can use Covert Cyno's Big smile I can imagine there is some fun to be had there.

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

You forgot to mention its ability to light a covert cyno and use black ops bridges.

Lol.. I wish. Though I agree threads that don't complain / cry about things are rare on the forums. So I understand your suspicion.
