Sure, just as soon as you tell me what kinds of ships all that mined Ore is going towards building.


Mining drones. (No, seriously, that was what the little bit I mined went toward was T2 mining drones and Hobgoblin 2s, the profit margin was too good to pass up but I found I needed 20k trit).

In all honesty, the bulk of it is probably going to cap boosters, drones, and ammo/crystals.

Those are expended even faster than ships, and thus there's always a market for them.

All I can say is that knowing that the ore I sell is going to actually be used makes mining fun. Otherwise this long grind to set up would definitely suck and I'd have probably quit by now.

You'll be fine.

You only have to worry about highsec gankers, in highsec.

I'd suggest taking your procurer out of highsec. I can even give you an escort if you like. I'll take you anywhere in lowsec or Syndicate you want to go.

I won't even charge you anything for it. Just a community service.

Personally being bad i only added like 300 million to pvp pool yesterday Oops

you are a close minded non-eve player. Mining can be pvp oriented as well...

Why doesn't someone in null grow a pair and drop some SBUs.. oh right, they are all blue to each other or have pretend space accords to not fight.

Can't imagine why new players leave when they see all the big boys with big guns acting like pu$$ies.

If a new player joins specifically to be a player in the Sov game, then the fact that its almost impossible is not going to put him off.

Perhaps geopolitics and grand strategy are more his thing than being able to do a land grab with half a dozen Battleships, non?

Nah, it's just funny that miners in this thread act like they're doing something good for the community, rather than just mining for themselves as they normally would.


Sorry but I don't agree with this.

I've met a lot of miners in my time in Eve and honestly in my experience they tend to be the most altruistic. They may not like to fight, but they'll go to great lengths to support war efforts...donating their minerals, getting in BlackBirds, etc.

I feel they're painted with an unfair brush, and it makes little sense to me, save for people needing to make excuses for their actions in a silly game about blowing up internet spaceships.

Mining is utterly boring, imho, but I don't look down on them for choosing to do it. Why do you?

That's funny. I've found it to be one of the single most selfish acts possible in the game.

They're not doing anything, they're not playing with anyone. They're just sitting there, watching the green number get bigger. It's just running the rat wheel.

And yet, when even the slightest thing happens to rattle that cage, bump it, if you will, they pour forth some of most vile things I have ever heard spoken. Real life threats, disgusting sexual insults, you name it.

Altruists? Hardly.

Well, I can only speak for the ones I've met, I suppose. Our miners are part of a community, so perhaps that makes a difference.

That is certainly a fair statement. I can say much the same of the miners in my alliance as well, I suppose it's a result of being a part of something larger that can be contributed to.

I rather think it does. As a newbro I learned to be part of the community of the alliance I was in back then, and all activities were social, be it mining, PvP fleets or whatever.

Today, when mining, I tend to mostly socialize with a tight group of people. The rest of the miners I met in HiSec are ... weird. It is mostly like they aren't even there, even if you try to chat them up in local etc. Exceptions exist, but they seem to be few and far in between.

RPing aside, before I read this thread, I had occasionally begun to wonder whether the CODEdot people actually has a point with their NO thing. Shocked

Perhaps the bile some miners spew has to do with the constant bile spewed at them about being botters, being scum, being worthless etc....
Look at yourself and how you paint them before you throw stones at their behaviour.

Then they should probably stop botting so much.
