Scouting ahead with a less valuable ship (such as your Capsule), or having a corporation member specialized in cloaked warping in a Covert Ops ship, can help you determine whether there are any hostile players in the area. The downside is that you might get a lower cut of the available resources, but if you lose everything you mine to a pirate, there is no point in a full cargo hold. The more mining ships there are around, the lower the chance your specific ship is target. This is a good reason to join a Corporation. Having help from combat ships can make the difference between a long mining run, and losing your ship with its ore, and not being able to mine in an area until the pirates leave. Therefore it is important to learn how to avoid getting destroyed while mining. But mining vessels don't have bonuses for combat, and wouldn't win in a fight with pirates even if they equipped any weapons, or fitted drones. Other minerals can simply be obtained more quickly there. The other adjectives refer to the sized of the condensed belts.Ī lot of minerals can only be found in ores that are limited to lowsec and nullsec. This belt is (believed to be) similar to base anomalies in that it will spawn other condensed belts and players are strongly discouraged from mining them. Belts despawn when it's both mined out (or maybe just 70% out) and unoccupied.Įach time a new belt/cluster is spawned, there is a chance of creating a intumescent condensed belt. Similar to anomalies, the game periodically tries to spawn new belt/clusters when the number is not reached. The mining lasers also work by volume.Įach system has a maximum allowed number of belt or clusters, determined by the number of planets × 0.7. As a result, rarer ores are not necessarily more valuable per full ore hold. When calculating the value of ores, it is also important note that the ores have different volumes. It is also important to figure out what risks are involved with mining the particular ore you're interested in. When choosing what to mine, it can be helpful to look at the mineral densities of each of these ores to determine which one requires the fewest trips. That means you'll have bigger chance of being attacked.Īsteroid Types relative to System Security In general, the more rare (and often more valuable) ores are only found in systems with a lower system security. This level depends on the security rating of the star system they are in. The level of the belt or cluster determines which types of asteroids it might contain, and is indicated with a small number next to the name of the cluster in the Overview panel. Each Asteroid contains a single type of Ore, that can be mined. However, they don't let you choose what you mine, and require specific Mining Barges, such as the Retriever, Procurer, and Covetor, which have a role bonus that allows fitting strip miners.Īsteroids can be found inside of asteroid belts and asteroid clusters. Strip miners don't need a target lock and gather higher volumes of ores from any Asteroids inside of their Optimal Range. They can be fit onto any vessel, however they are generally fit onto ships with large ore holds and bonuses to Mining Lasers, such as the Venture Trainer, Venture, Venture II and Venture III. Regular mining lasers can fire at any target locked asteroid in range to gather materials from that specific asteroid. You cannot fit a strip miner on a venture. ![]()
