For high sec I found you can usually fill a retriever with just 2 roids mining Plagioclase, one for each laser if they are are 40k+ units. They seem to range from between 30k-50k units in size. With scordite it seems like I have to change roids 3-4 times for each laser to fill a retriever. Mix of math and observation. Veldspar somewhere in between.

So IMO Plagioclase seems to be the best afk ore to mine. At the time of this post its also up there for best ISK/m3 being #1 or #2 in high sec. depending on your ore chart reference.



Good if you to use the word "if". I have never come across a single 40k unit Plagioclase asteroid in any high-sec belt. Maybe in grav sites, but not ever in a belt.

Going AFK and expecting to come back with the ore bay full may be too much to ask, of course, but it sounds as if with some Survey Scanning, and willingness to suck Veldspar in addition to Scordite, it may be possible to only need to come back once, to switch stripper targets, when the ore bay is about half full.

My experience is still that most Scordite roids pop after 2-3 cycles, though.
