I am fairly new to the mining thing in a mining vessel ( 2nd day). I have a Retreive and I put T2 Cargo Expanders in it but the size of the cargo hold is the same.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

I have looked around and my only guess is that I have to put the rigs in to make this work?
Is that correct? If not what is the secret? Thanks in advance for your responses

Did you fit the expanders on your ship or just put them in your cargohold? Big smile

Well first I put them in the cargo hold... that did not work.... P

At the risk of making another assumption, you have the skills for the T2 expanders?

Why would you cargo expand a ret? Use a second ship/character to haul...

Solo mining when you don't know anyone yet and don't want to jetcan because of people like you who come along and flip the cans.

That what I do. Stay in the belt for hours making 2 mil every 21 minutes when my alt(personal slave) hauls it to the station. I even get a yield boost from him since I am training him to fly an Orca. Yielding 1830m3 every cycle. Ultimate pun... he is Mimantar.

I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

I am training to fly bigger mining vessels and I just got a second account... at some point I will be able to mine and haul...but it takes time to get there so I have to go it alone as I train...

I like the retreiver because I can mine and have a few drones for the .8 rats that pop out from time to time... it is like free money when they show up...Smile

Be sure to train him to Mining Foreman 5 and make him the Fleet Booster. Other wise your just wasting time and money.

The real question here is why would you mine? Even further, why would you mine in a retriever? If you really must try it out just for fun, get it over with quickly. Then go run missions and find that you have come out way ahead in a fraction of the time.

There are many ways to have fun in eve.... and lets not forget it is a game....

I enjoy the mining and industry aspects of the game more than the mission running parts. I still run missions as well as having 4 R&D agents that I am slowly leveling up to get to level 4 agents... As I said elsewhere in the forums, I mine to have fun, to make some isk to pay for the toys I run missions with and to make money for my research and invention stuff that i do. That is the great thing about eve, we can all find a niche for ourselves. Who knows maybe one day you will be PVPing / Mission running in a ship I built...Lol
