Very interesting to watch; great observations and insight. I’m encouraged after watching this video because I’m a long time fan of the channel and realized I am in the habit of doing basically everything you recommended.

Recently killed in LowSec. Mining Gneiss in LowSec. It was an Agency selected site for Unknown Ore. There were too many pilots in Local and should have left but didn't. I was alone when I arrived in mining site. There was a ton of ore to mine. After a few minutes a Venture arrived 50K away. I thought ok another miner but I have become suspicious because of have seen this setup before. But, stupidly, kept mining. About 5 minutes later he leaves and a couple of minutes later a Tengu arrives and blasts my ass to junk. He didn't pod me, so I couldn't get a kill right. Unfortunately, in Eve, most the good sites are scooped out just waiting for fools to get janked. My guess there are pirates checking the Agency ore sites and just laying in wait for a kill.

There was big spike in local.. he shoulda warped away asap …

Works like a charm. Thanks!

great vid with good tips. love everef am using it regularly. With skills all 5 a skiff has base max speed 138m/s and a strip mining cycle takes 144s. The range of these strip miners is 15km. The align speed for immediate warpout would be 138 * 0.75 = 104m/s. 104m/s times 144s is 14976m so roughly 15km. Which means at zero on an asteroid and aligning at 75% speed out to an offgrid bookmark will have enough time to finish a cycle before moving out of range. Now there are ton of modules that impact speed. could put a higgs rig on and have roughly 10 minutes of time until the ship will have travelled 15km. Personally I find higgs rigged ships difficult to move. Or make the ship faster and start mining 10km out passing the asteroid while having enough distance to get a full cycle. It all depends and is also highly influenced by player preference.

Tank does not save you in Low. Nobody is coming to save you, so tank is just going to make dieing slower. Better to use Macks or Hulks with low friction rigs. Getting off grid the fastest possible is what saves you.

Agree with everything else in the video, but I will say in one of your solo mining vids I distinctly remember you saying that mining in a faction warfare system was actually *safer* because PVP-ers in those systems aren't looking to target miners.

"Sandwich time" thats a great way to put it

Your videos got me and a buddy into the games.

Hi there! I'm the idiot who lost the skiff. Thank you for all the great advice. I've posted my video in a few places and honestly the advice I've gotten reminds me why I love EVE Online! Just want to say that I was mining pyro for no particular reason. I wasn't trying to make money, I just wanted to try out low-sec mining. Basically, judging by the advice I've gotten, I did everything wrong and it has been a great learning experience.

I read it as skyfloss and was thinking it's a new type of harvestable resource 😂😂

This is great info to look out for the hisec ore troll patrols that like to target mining ships

He deserve to lose ship ;)

This whole scenario makes me laugh. First, i wouldn't be mining garbage rocks in low sec. Second as soon as someone else pops into a once empty system, i am either docking up or getting to the next system, preferably high sec. As far as i am concerned everyone that isn't blue, purple or green are an enemy.

In low i go full yield and just watch dscan, but being mates with the locals helps.

Just bookmarked Eve Ref cool site. Also, on my way to make a PVP tab and set my D-Scan up. I was just thinking the other day that there was way too much in my D-Scan for it to be any use but I was not sure how to set it up so that was a big help Thanks Sir!

Great video, explaining in detail what you should not do while mining in lowsec, highlighting your bros mistakes, so useful ty

I also mine in low, these situations i dont mind, fair for both party's , however, what's usually grabs me is a dubble scram stealth bomber. Is there anything you can do or is that just a death centence?

Boop😊

Do you have a mining corp or alliance? (Not asking for the name or anything or any specific names). I want to get into a mining corp myself hopefully.

Come in with a cheapo Kestrel and kill 1 rogue drone in Poch to get a little bit of standing so you can dock up. I've just started going into Pochven for various adventures including mining. It's fun and can be quite rewarding, but it's the wild west for sure. Don't recommend Pochven on weekends, holidays or other peak times unless PVP is what you do. You can enter and exit for free if you learn how to scan down the connecting wormholes and again the faction helps as the Trigs will be at the entrances sometimes.

Stick a couple of Drone Navigation Computers in your mid slots buddy it speeds your drones up a fair bit

It kinda drives me nuts how he's saying Deluge. It's Del - uge as in the weather event. Not De - luge. Lol they are all weather related. Squall and Torrnet 😂

How can I kill the rats in the wormhole sites Do I really have to bring a bigger ship I couldnt find a fit either

man I just came back to EVE and started from scratch but your content really is helpful, especially this series!!! and thank you for the SP!!!

Great video :-) u have the same amount on the stockpile on p3 planet. 3500 of each tier 2 or less?

This is a joke right you grind project discovery meme. It’s not even Eve just seems mind numbing awful way to spend 2 hours per day. Out of everything to do in Eve you pick the single least Eve thing to do

Can you confirm: These rats only use disrupters, never a scram, so your MJD will always work?

They GANK in .9 Hi Sec all the time, because there are NO REPRECUSSIONS for doing it. The 15 minute criminal tag is a JOKE. Go to Maurisel, (spelling) at prime time, you will be hit. Hi Sec is a JOKE in terms of security. Anyone that GANKS in Hi Sec need to have a PERMEMNANT CRIMINAL TAG on their account that carries thru death. Low and Null are different, go wild but to get NEW and Casual Players in Eve they have needed to change the Ganks in Hi Sec a LONG time ago.

L2 missions aren't always 6k M3, that's just like the max. I've done a few mining missions just to hit 2 opportunities at once, and they'll often only be 1800 m3 or somethin. I've probably done 10ish L2s recently and only 1 has required 2 trips in a venture.

Hey, I have 3 acounts I can multibox mining with, all omega. When would it be worth it to bring a booster ship? with 2 or 3?

I wonder are mining missions or courier missions better for just grinding standing to get to level 4 combat missions. The isk/h does not seem to be there considering what you can get on a real belt but the LP can be important if you want to get standings up. Also, you don't seem to lose standing (at least that I saw) with other factions like you do pretty often in combat missions so if you wanted to raise up all standings mining could be good that way.

The Anti-Judge.

Mining Missions are dreadful

with regards to ordering mining drones that have ore on board. I had that situation last night and i got a message that the drones could not engage with ore on board. They then each came back dropped off (informed me that the asteroid was depleted x5) and then i was able to send them out. thanks for the vid :)

I did level 4 mining missions for a few hours, terrible returns. Make 4x more just mining veldspar but each to their own

So is it purely cosmetic only for seasonal? Im goin to be playing solo offline mostly but i did see a solo seasonal mode. Is there any legendary gear in a season that you cant get in a non season?

With Omega players starting to guard Stargates and taggin Alpha players The game has been robbed of its fun

Best advice is to keep an eye on local and always be aligned to something dockable. Gankers in high sec generally prefer 0.7 - 0.5 security space as Concord's response is much slower.

I like your idea about a series mining in Null. I’m contemplating a move to Null and would love to see and hear your perspective on nullsec mining in action.

Great insights, JAKEL33T, thanks!!! Never got any PLEX on crates, yet.. but that lucky of yours motivated me :)

I think mining Crockite in Low would get you to Omega way faster than Mercoxit in Null

Great tips! People should do what they want to do. But for all the max yield fiddling and min-maxing it baffles me that people don't recognize that just paying for omega for most people is the cheapest. With current plex prices it is roughly 2.7b for 500 plex. For the sake of argument assume an hourly net income of 12.49 Euros which is also the monthly sub in a year sub-plan then I will need to make 2.7b isk in an hour to be equivalent. And make more to be more efficient to pay for the sub. I'm far off that isk per hour and wouldn't put that pressure on me as I would feel it more as a chore. With the ganking, yeah it is safe enough with all the systems. It is a sandbox so stuff needs to be destroyed ... either we put unrepairable durability that depletes on items and ships and make it safer or we get ships blown up and build or buy new stuff. If stuff is not blown up it will stagnate the market. 104k ehp needs to be said in relation to highsec and the isk on grid. If the value exceeds ship+fit+cargo 270m it starts to look great for at least green zkillboard mail in .5 systems. Means ~14 pilots in a mix of T1 and T2 catalysts will destroy it with a 19 seconds concord response timer and the kill will be green enough on zkill. I switched over to play for "fun per hour" which by far is not the most efficient way to earn that amount of isk in that short amount of time. To get the pepe size comparing out of anyones head. The most efficient way is to daytrade IRL and funnel from it money via PLEX into ISK and get it all blown up in virtual space ships.

The caveat here is that it is high sec, which I am sure will help. But anywhere else (low, null), tank doesn't save you. Getting off field is the best way to survive in low and null. Hulk is best for warp alignment speed, with Mack a close second. Great advise on building a personal danger list.

I just moved to null and was looking a way to plex a second account with minning. I would love a series about it

Heads Up : Altar of Rites: Solo -I could not get past 300 kills even past P1500 - but did it 1st Time when I ‘reduced’ my running speed to 25% .. the extra speed given by the Altar affected my count - try this if You have problems!

And to be real, if someone really really want's to gank you, he is going to succeed eventually. He has to get lucky just once, you have to be lucky every time.

I got ganked while looking over at this video on my other screen. I get the irony.

are you using filaments to get out to null via Pochven or do you actually fly your way out to null? I was wondering if it was worth it to get some filaments to pop out to null in a somewhat random way or if it was better to fly out with a direct target.

I just use cloak trick on mining barges if I am doing risky mining. I sacrifice alot, but I never get caught.
