#THE REFERENCE MINER EGRET UPGRADE#

Mining barges - Can fit strip miners and ice harvester Ideally suited for entry-level asteroid mining in high-sec, and also useful as a gas miner in wormholes and ladar exploration sites.Warp Core Stabilizer Bonus: + 2 - built in defense against warp disrupters and scrams.Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / align time): 335 / 3.6 / 1,200,000 / 4.04s - it is relatively agile.Defense (shields / armor / hull): 225 / 175 / 200 - the Venture has almost no tank.Drones (bandwidth / bay): 10 / 10 - enough to fend off high-sec rats - in high-sec, you may want to load one combat drone and one salvager drone.Cargo capacity: 50 m3, Ore hold: 5000 m3 - relatively small ore hold, so you want to 'jetcan' mine with the Venture.Slot layout: 3 H, 3 M, 1 L, with 2 turrets.Fitting stats: 240 teraflops CPU, 45 Megawatt powergrid, and support for up to 2 turrets - relatively low CPU and PG, making this ship a bit difficult to fit.+100% bonus to mining yield, +100% to gas harvesting yield.+5% to mining yield per mining frigate skill level, +5% to gas harvesting yield per level - note that the Venture is the only ship to get a gas mining bonus.

Requires training in Mining Frigate skill.

Venture - ORE mining frigate - a good starting place for any aspiring miner - a balance of output, autonomy and resilience, but not particularly strong in any one factor.

Venture frigate gas mining bonus: +5% to gas harvesting yield per level of Mining Frigate skill trained Mining frigate - the Venture - balanced, entry-level Resilience: the amount of tank that the ship can use to Mining output: the potential amount of productivity withĪutonomy: the degree to which the craft is suited for Progression ORE mining craft provide different levels of three design However, both the Arbitrator (Amarr) and Vexor (Gallente) get a 10% bonus to mining drone yield per cruiser skill level trained. Cruisers and battleships are now rarely used to mine, since mining barges and exhumers perform the same function better.

If it is a combat ship, mined ore goes into that ship's cargo hold.

Any ship that can fit a mining laser can mine.

Standard: 6.67 standing with station's corporation (removes tax) and specific ore refining skill II (other combinations possible) Refinery Efficiency IV allows for refining specialization skills Mining Barge: to unlock Tech I mining ships: Procurer, Retriever, CovetorĮxhumers (requires Mining Barge V): to unlock Tech II mining ships: Skiff, Mackinaw, Hulk Allows for Mining Crystal use in Tech II strip miners. Ore Processing Skills: 5% reduction in refining waste of specific ore. Refinery Efficiency: 4% reduction in refinery waste per level

Refining: 2% reduction in refinery waste per level Hull Upgrades: Allows use of Expanded Cargohold Mining Drones Operations: Skill at controlling mining drones. Bonus: drone control range increased by 5000m per level (Used for defense) Scout Drones Operations: Skill at controlling scout combat drones. Useful even for frigates if you are Gallente.

Mining Frigate: to unlock use of the Venture ORE mining frigateRecommended Mining SkillsĪ dditional skills useful and valuable for mining:ĭrones: Skill at remote controlling drones.
