CCP has now made buying fitting anything but a Procurer a waste of time and Isk. More genius moves by CCP, how long is the leash of their masters Pearl Abyss?
When you see the invasion and it reads 25% buff to mining lazer cycle times then think that is also telling you have 75% chance of being ganked by a Raznaborg Damavik!
I once made the same mistake and learned not to leave my ship mining AFK while expecting it to live. Sure, I still leave it mining in space sometimes when I walk off for a minute, but I don’t come crying to the forums when that happens to be a bad choice.
By the way, if you use a Procurer instead, you can blink longer.
Well, if that’s the attitude with which you great ship loss, then Eve probably isn’t the game for you. However, if you do calm down and decide to say, I recommend (1) Asking what you could have done differently after every ship loss, and (2) Flying a properly tanked procurer. Not only can they survive the roaming triglavians, but are also extremely difficult to gank.
Also, mining kind of sucks. Perhaps you should look into other careers, such as exploration, incursions, running Abyss filaments, running Emerging Conduits, and ganking miners who fly retrievers.
I’ve already lost a Covops to Triglavians in a relic site, so that’s already here.
For the OP: I mine in Ore Anomalies only. Sometimes they are hard to find, but I’ve never been harassed by Tri’s in one. That probably doesn’t help much, but its an option if they’re in your area.
You can also mine in Emerging Conduits for hours on end after you clear out the Trigs. Once they are cleared out, they don’t come back and there is at least 2 million m3 worth of ore to mine in a Conduit.
