Greetings,

After a short break, where I was envolved with a planetary excursion into the remote past of earth... [War Thunder Beta - oh fun], i am back... Saving EVE from rock incusions daily... while my once double digit eveboard online time rank has fallen into the low triples I am sure that will bounce back also...

I have decided on a new course of action, something rather different to key up my interest and I am wondering if anyone has some fresh imput into the idea or simply wants to tag along and so the same:

I have looked on mining in the past as a means of ISKcome - once mines, reprocesses and sells, and repeats... it was not fancy, but it certainly worked.

After the break, and apparently a flash back to "Indepedence Day" [the movie, not the holiday] - and that the aliens where in effect "locust" of space, going from place to place, consuming resources and building everything they needed along the way - what a great concept for EVE mining, R&D and Production... I have for the past few months prior to the break, toyed around with it - it seems to be very viable as a way of doing business...

I would like to know one how you might do this yourself, any key ideas on how the best way to do this, my own is "super-secret" at the moment, due to evil-doers in EVE doing evil stuff...lol... but the basics are:

Always mobile, so your more or less in a Mining RV, setup up as your mobile base and more or less house, hangars are used for pit-stops, and to use facilities (slots, mining dumping spots for ore and minerals, reprocessing, and missions, etc.. but no one place is home, it's simply use and abuse.

All used items, ships and such are self produced... T1, simple, and T2 with invention... making it totally self sufficient.

If anyone likes this idea and want to either comment on some best practices, ways to do it they think would be fun, or outstandingly profitable, or would like to try hanging around doing the same in a "hoard of space locust" munching on rocks... post here or PM me in game.

*Update*

I should also metion - If anyone is interested in trying to proof this concept - let me know, I am sticking to HS for now, and working on making POS setup and the logistics smooth and flowing.



I actually like this idea But with one differance I would focus on scanning down the rarer sites to Mine and salvage that way you would really be mobile focusing on the hunt for good Exploration sites
