Looking for some community help

I'm trying to see if there is actually a difference in the value of belts based on the sec status of the system they are in. I'm doing this because I believe that asteroid belts in low/null sec are not more valuable than belts in high sec. I have started scanning belts on the test server (to mitigate the amount of ore lost to players mining) and have, so far, not found a difference (they are close and I can only scan so many systems...). I am hoping to get some help from the community in getting a more accurate picture of asteroid distribution. All I need is a few minutes of your time (5 tops), and I will be able to put together a very good picture of the asteroid belts in eve.

If you're willing to help, all you need to do is; log onto the test server, fit an orca with a survey scanner, undock, and scan a belt or two. After scanning a belt, simply expand all of the folders in the scanner window that pops up and select all and copy and paste them into an excel/google sheets. then just break them up into asteroid types and giving me a nice table with the totals, the sec status, the day of the week, and the system faction (caldari, gallente, etc) if applicable, that way I can copy and paste more easily (seriously, it's 5 min max for one belt but YOU try doing that 500 times...).

You don't need to do all that research. And no one is likely to want to do your research for you anyway. Mining in low sec has never been economically viable and null sec mining revenue is not that good due to unrestrained mining of 'high ends'. Your best policy therefore is to mine Veldspar in high sec.

Will try to give you some datas about 0.1 to 0.3 tomorrow or the day after.

Best policy is crap. Scordite seems to be better...Cerlestes Ladys & Gentlemen.

High sec belts are typically mined out and therefore with lots of little rocks and constant roid switching you are doing pretty good if you can get 80% of what EFT tells you that your ship should be minning.

Low sec is just not viable.

Null sec with bigger rocks that you can sit on for long periods of time with out changing and also get Rorqual boosts you can get pretty close to 100% of your ship's theoretical yield and the Rorqual boosts help a **** ton. The difference between null and high is not so much in the value of the ore but the size of the roids and Rorqual boosts. I typically don't even equip roid scanners when mining in null.

shortened version of what I just posted is you'll make more isk minning veld in null than you ever will mining the most valuable ore in high sec.
