EVE New Citizens Q&A

I just bought a Procurer and I asked help if a mining laser upgrade improves your output with a strip miner. Someone said no yet when I reviewed a fit for a Procurer on Wiki, there are two MLU's installed.

Which is correct?

Danke Sehr.

how do low slots contribute to a procurers tank

You know what he meant but your message is funny. Are you really a girl or just wanna be one?

So now you know. Don't ever take anything anyone in this game says at face value. You can ask but you are going to want to confirm everything through experimentation or multiple sourcing info like you did here.

Not sure how you can presume to know what someone else knows or doesn't know.

Also are calling someone else a girl in a derogatory manner as if somehow being female is a lesser state?

Post 5 might be the most confusing thing I've read in some time.

The tank v. yield argument overlooks the fact that the best fit for a procurer includes a scram in the mids.

A bit of EFT warrior:

[Procurer, serios tank]
Mining Laser Upgrade II
Damage Control II

ML-3 Scoped Survey Scanner
Medium Shield Extender II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal I

Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I

Mining Drone I x4
Mining Drone I x1

...gives you over 71 kEHP and 1110 m3 paper yield

[Procurer, Max tank]
Reinforced Bulkheads II
Damage Control II

Survey Scanner II
Medium Shield Extender II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II
Adaptive Invulnerability Field II

Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal I

Medium Transverse Bulkhead II
Medium Transverse Bulkhead II
Medium Transverse Bulkhead II

Mining Drone I x4
Mining Drone I x1

...gives you almost 87 kEHP and 1034 m3 paper yield. Cold. Overheating hardeners will get you 93 kEHP for 2 and a half minutes.

Average ganking catalyst manage to deal about 7-8 kEHP before CONCORD comes. That catalyst costs about 9 milions including fitting. Gankers hate to lose ISK war, so even this camikadze pure yield fit:
[Procurer, Max yield]
Mining Laser Upgrade II
Mining Laser Upgrade II

Survey Scanner II
5MN Microwarpdrive II
Drone Navigation Computer I
Drone Navigation Computer I

Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal I

Medium Drone Mining Augmentor I
Medium Drone Mining Augmentor II
Medium Drone Mining Augmentor II

Mining Drone II x5

will require 4 catalysts to kill you (29 kEHP, 1431 m3 yield). Gankers will lose up to 36 milions and your procurer with all the fitting is hardly worth that much. So you can see much less procurers killed in high sec comparing to other barges - it is cheap and tanked. Simply not worth it. But if you are in war or gave gankers reason to hunt especially you, you will be ganked no matter what tank you will use.

This is fit for newbie miner, that I would use:
[Procurer, Newbie]
Mining Laser Upgrade I
Mining Laser Upgrade I

ML-3 Scoped Survey Scanner
Medium Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extender
Limited Adaptive Invulnerability Field I
Limited Adaptive Invulnerability Field I

Strip Miner I

Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Anti-Thermal Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I

Mining Drone I x4
Mining Drone I x1
Hobgoblin I x 5

It gives you about 46 kEHP and about 900 m3 yield, depends on your skills. Need 5+ catalysts to get it down and is so cheap, that gankers will gank every single barge around you but not you.

You know that kind of personalities - if female said something it is by default a silly or bad joke thing.

OP are you a boy oh just wanna be one??

Read module description properly then try it!

It was just a question. Why are you getting defensive? By viewing avatars there seems to be large group of women playing this game and it surprises me. I wonder if that many females are playing or for some reason many guys are using female avatars.

On WOT, female players were uncommon. I do not know any women in RL that play MMO's. For that matter, I know few adults that play PC games in RL.
