In my experience, because of the travel time, mining drone actual yield tends to be significantly less than the advertised amount. If you have an issue with CPU, there is a rig for that, as well as power grid.

I would use the rig slots for defensive (shield amount and/or resists). The only rigs that directly benefit mining are for mining drones and deep core mining (which is only done in null and usually in a mining barge). The other slots for fitting a ship are the rig slots. The other mid-slots can be used for an afterburner or to increase your shield defense (shield booster and/or hardeners). Nice to know about how much is left in there so you can short cycle your lasers (If there is less than you will get from a full cycle, then you can stop the laser early). The purpose of a survey scanner is to show you how much ore is left in an asteroid, ice and gas cloud. For this, I suggest you just use the meta 0 until you spend the time to move directly to meta 5.Īs for the mid slots, you may want to consider a survey scanner. The skill needed to use mining upgrades is rank 4, so it takes more than 4 days to be able to use the tech 2, meta 5 version. Now, the meta 1-4 of those are stupid expensive, costing tens of millions of ISK.

So, my suggestion is to use meta 3 until you get mining to level 4, then switch to the mining laser IIs as soon as you can.īut, the venture also has a low slot, and into that low slot can go a thing called the mining laser upgrade. That only takes about a day of training, and the skill itself will up your mining amount. It has 50% better yield than the base meta 0. The big jump comes at meta 5, the tech 2. In my area of space the meta 3 cost about 10K ISK and the meta 4 cost 150K. You can see the meta 3 do almost 20% better than the ones you are given by the tutorial. On the compare tool, add meta level and mining yield, then sort by meta level. Go to variations tab, then press compare. Let’s show info on the mining laser you are given by the tutorials. Some obvious things to fit to your venture are mining lasers and drones.
