sems like a pretty meager advantage considering all the drawbacks.


"All the drawbacks" being what?

You could mine Viscous Pyroxeres in Hadji, and fill your Orca with high yield Pyrox at every belt: but then you have to haul one or two systems over in order to drop the ore off at a station. You'd have to tank your hulk to avoid being ganked by the regular ganking crowd, so no MLUs.

You could mine regular Pyroxeres in "The Score" (vs Sanshas), in the safety of a deadspace so you can get away with fitting two MLU IIs, increasing your ISK/hr by about 8% over mining Viscous Pyrox in a tanked hulk. As soon as you see anyone on D-scan, you hightail it out: even the 40+ second align time of the Orca is fast enough to escape the incoming Tornado swarm.

One drawback is having to mix mission running and mining, but you get five or six days of access to that mining site.

Are there any rare ores in missions? If so which type security, mining, research?


Here is a partial list.

I lost my first and only Retriever in "Artifact Recovery" going after that Arkonor asteroid. Mining it triggers about 6 cruisers to spawn.

I never saw the Arkonor again when doing that mission, so its spawn must be random.

EDIT: The only comment so far on that mission:

*** WARNING ***
Sometimes an Arkonor rock will spawn. The first time you mine it, it will spawn 6 more Cruisers at very close range. I lost my Itty V to them, but count myself glad it was not my hulk, too. They were easily tankable with mission craft used to clear in first place. Recommend equipping a smaller miner on your mission craft to make them spawn before going in with your carebear gear :).

L4 usually give you a couple of hours to finish them for bonuses. If you find a spot which is rich and worth mining, feel free to do so. Just don't turn in the mission, you will be able to mine the whole spot anyway before you loose the bonus pay.

If I want to mine in a mission site, will I have to wait to complete the mission until I'm done mining to go back and get my can?


Use eve-survival to find missions with lots of 'roids. Clear the mission with your combat vessels, then come back in your mining barges. It's a REALLY simple/safe(r) way to mine in the current environment. There's a ton of L4 missions in hi-sec with Omber 'roids, and more veldspar than you'd know what to do with.

ooooooor...contact me in game and I'll sell you bookmarks to my cleared out mission sites.
