(Elitist miner checking in)

You kind of offend the miner in me. Not that I really care… or you … but hey now.

There is no reason to fly a skiff in highsec, unless you’re a coward or not smart enough to take care of yourself. Your post has a bad base, which is: “You’re not capable of taking care of yourself.”

From my perspective, only a fool would use procurers and skiffs in highsec. These are ships for people in low, null or wormhole space. Anyone hiding behind a skiff/proc in highsec is a coward, or stupid enough to eat all the CODE propaganda. (sorry)

I’ve wiped belts clean, with an Orca and three covetors. No tank, full yield. (armor rigs for slowing down the ship don’t count as tank i’ve deliberately fitted for tanking purposes). My set-up was still absolutely safe, one click away from instawarping out.

That’s how one mines. The rest is for sissies.

(am i doing it right?)

I prefer the term “braces and a belt paranoid” for my alts

But hey I dont mind the c word. Not the worst thing my boys and girls have been called.

Idk, I have (had) a tendency of overtanking my stuff.

Granted I wasn’t mining on my alt to make a living out of it, so I favored survivability over profit.

I was able to mine enough mats to build my own Mach, and after it was done I mined to try and befriend people so I can kill them easier during wars :3

So yeah, I’m just saying that surviving is a priority for me :wink:

I can teach you how to mine with full yield safely, if you want to? :smiling_imp:

@Ramona_McCandless You have miners? Wow! What’s your setup?

Random junk that I find in wrecks of miners nailed to some 6 year old procurer hulls, mostly.

That’s a nice approach. Environmentally friendly, too. So you play AFK, or why the heavy tankers?

Its really hard to get mining ships to .

And goodness me I wouldnt dream of being in space without spamming dscan.

I apparently make enemies really easily.

Please tell your miners that i did not mean to make them feel bad for sitting in Skiffs and Procurers. :slight_smile:

95

Its okay. I barely pay them anyway.

And Skiffs?! Do you think Im made of money lol

96

Hahaha, yeah, actually I thought so! :smiley:

I actually like mining. It provides interesting gameplay opportunities for those who actually care to take a creative look and TONS of opportunities to piss off other miners.

Or you don’t want to be bothered doing it. I have mined while semi-AFK while working from home. I’d get in my tanked skiff and start the strip miners, periodically emptying the hold.

A Skiff or Procurer is not just a mining vessel, I mine in a system that fills up with anoms, because it’s basically dead and has little through traffic. Anoms are a break and I don’t have to swap ships.

Back in the day this thread and the 900 other dead horse threads would have been fed to Crime and Punishment. How I miss the old forums.

Mining drones aren’t great to begin with though.

If you are going to mine and suffer death by a thousand papercuts, may as well keep the misery as short as possible and mine in a barge/exhumer.

In my opinion mining is like tequila, something best consumed whilst intoxicated.

It’s also good for insomnia, downside is that you may end up with a keyboard imprint on your face.

A lot of the old sub-forums were dead, or dying. C&P was languishing in the doldrums by the time of the forum-switch.

This has certainly energized some of the denizens of that particular lair. That you find our emergence into the brilliant light of GD a disappointment, is understandable.

I, too, think that much of the ‘discussion’ which has recently taken place is - how shall I put it - redundant. Everything has been hashed out before, and by people who actually know what they’re talking about. But many of them left the game, and so a new group of would-be reformers has surfaced, too lazy to check whether what they’re so excited about has been discussed before. It has. To death.

We but try to steer them in a reasonable direction, but they seem to be resistant to good advice, quotes from the Masters, general good sense, and just about every other commendable intervention.

It won’t change, you know. Best get used to it.
