I was thinking about investing in a few ORE strip miners for my mining operation. I like the bonus to range, and also that they do not require mining crystals. Which is nice when I am in an ore site with low sec ores, because I haven't trained for some of the low-sec mining crystals.

I was wondering if anyone with experience using these knows how the yield compares to Strip Miner IIs with t2 crystals. Is it less? More? or the same. I don't want to take a huge hit on yield especially for how expensive these modules are.

Thanks for your input!

The Ore miners get the same yield as Strip Miner Is. They also cost 300+ mil isk for just an extra 2km of range.

Never use them, or use them to mine in lovely Kino (in lonetrek) tomorrow-ish.

You're pretty much guaranteeing that no matter how heavily you tank your ship it's still worthwhile suicide ganking you
