Hi guys, i want to know what is best possible mining fit for retriever to mine as much ore as possible in high sec using 5 mining drones. I dont care about losing ship, i just want max ore mine per hour. And if possible, in your fit please tell me what skills are required to use it, cause i tried to use Drone rigs but my CPU wasnt enough in this fit with my newbie skills. Thank you!
Another small question - scordite is best to mine in high sec atm right?

Scordite was still king as of last night, but a few other ores are catching up. As to fit, try to fit 2 http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Mining_Laser_Upgrade_I Your core skills are going to define what you can and cannot fit, not like there are a lot of options, unless I am missing something, very possible, you have the drone rig and mlu's. So just work your core skills till you can fit, not sure what your power grid skills are like, you might try a cpu rig to help fit.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

This is what I use. Rig to taste. I have electronics V and mining upgrades IV. You could fit 1 mining drone rig with a +5% cpu implant and drone rigging to IV. Edit - or a cpu rig will work too.

How do you get the extra low spot to fit 3 MLU's on a RET?

I will have to relook, I was sure mine only fitted 2. if so sorry to OP for bad info. Big smile But at any rate use your lows for MLU's. Big smile

Thank you for replies, good to know that i'm moving in right direction.
So, what is the perfect Retriever fit with perfect skills? Is it possible to rig all 3 drone upgrades, can your CPU support it with 3 MLU's at the same time? If not, what is best possible perfect fit in terms of ore per hour? I already lost several rigs cause i still dont know the build that i need to follow in the end and i'm still experimentating with it :/

Alayna Lemmont, i'm using Drones I atm too, but isnt drones 2 much better to use when i will be able to use it? If no, why? Ty!

They're better but for me it's preference, I don't find it necessary to train for mining drone op V (10 days for me) because there's skills that I want trained first. But if you feel you would like to have them then that's cool.

With perfect fitting skills and a 6% cpu implant you can not fit 3 drone rigs and 3 mlu's, (16.04 cpu short), but you could fit 2 mining drone rigs with mining upgrades at IV drone rigging at IV and a 3% implant and cpu rig.

Holy heck. Did this change with the Mining Barge/Exhumer re-work? This changes my world!! (not trolling... I've just been spending an extended period away from any sort of mining... but this is truly epic!)
