Eve Online - Extended Porpoise Drone Mining Session - Solo Mining - Episode 104

[@wolfmoz2232]

Remember my days of noob ignorance, paired with giga tons of undeserved luck, afk mining for hours and autopiloting my fully loaded Orca across all of highsec. Ignorance was a bliss 😂 Fly Safe

[@mikehajdu6154]

People nit picking over the "solo" mining are just that... Nit picking you are a solo miner/play cause you play by yourself. I am a solo miner yet I use 5 accounts. It just me, myself and I. Being Corps is just not fun when ppl at the top dictate how I'm suppose to and whom I'm supposed to talk to. You do you Jake! People can have their opinion but I draw alot of inspiration from how/what you do.

[@gregmcnamara2563]

I like your ideas on new ORE ships.

[@MrJotaFelipe]

I think solo refers to single person. I personally dislike multiboxing, so for me it also is 1 account. For each their own. I would also prefer a drone oriented mining ship. I would even make a couple of ships like that, like starting from a frigate size, all the way to the propoise/barge size (progression!)

[@mastercheifbud1]

YO do u want to be friends

[@Cathrope1]

I like mining with my alt and compress in space

[@mikehajdu6154]

Jake, I love your videos and you are the reason why I'm getting back into EvE. I just wanna be a solo miner but have felt that the game is just to stressful to play cause of the constant danger one is always in. I play games to have fun and your video help to enjoy EvE. Thank you Sir and fly safe! o7

[@DerekShaw-n8f]

Hi Jake! I have played EvE on and off for nearly 16 years. I like to mine and really enjoy your videos! I can see a case for both as Solo. Personally i play with 1 account, which is why i like drone mining. It allows me to stay on grid and mine without worrying about having to haul back to the station, especially with the new to me compression modules.

[@JimE-ch7uw]

It's a shame that you stopped the fleet mining due to comments. I enjoyed it and I do the same. Solo heartbeat is solo imho. Controlling a fleet is not as easy as those people might think, different skills. Once you get more experienced at eve, multiple accounts adds a nice challenge. Keep up the vids.

[@NolanWelch]

I joined your friends alliance last yer per your recommendation and they are a bunch of good dudes.

[@deanwilkendorf5304]

I know this is already a month old, but here it is anyway. 1) As a miner/industrialist since the beginning of 2012, I don't think in terms of isk/day when mining. I just look at what I want to build and the need for materials I need to collect to make what I need for the items to sell. I think in terms of AMOUNT (ship loads, what ever I'm flying that day). I usually fly a Mackinaw, but if things look dicey with ganker potential then I down scale to a skiff or something cheaper like a Retriever, or procurer. I tested the Porpoise, but as a solo player (One Account) the porpoise is not necessary. So isk/hour or isk/day is meaningless... sorta. I just need mats to build regardless of cost (M3/hr). To me Solo is one account, but I know it's not easy managing multiple, so I accept it for others to do. I want to see remnants of all ores crossing into all space in the galaxy. I want to see rigs add to a drone bay (kinda like you rigged your ship to carry an extra drone), or add a High/Med/Low slot (of course with much penalty). If equipped with a tractor beam, you can carry a smaller ship with you (not a "tow" more like a mechanical (magnet?) lock (A cruiser size ship can carry a frigate etc.) with much penalty to moblility. Just me daydreaming 😊

[@k0v4c]

you can do everything in pairs, like pvp has tackle+dmg, mining has booster+miner ... capital + cyno or subcap ... more than two accounts is just for extra ... like more miners, or your own pvp/pve fleet

[@M5onster]

In my opinion, a solo miner is someone who mines by themself, whether that be with one, two, three, or more accounts. As a previous comment noted, I also don't like multiboxing, but I see that as one player controlling multiple ships with a single command input. I'm not sure if this is even possible in Eve. I have three accounts, so I can fly two exhumers, plus a boost ship. When I fly two or three ships at one time, I control each ship individually using Eve-O. I typically mine in a HiSec system where I have access to a POS for compression. Unless I'm mining a moon, I usually just mine with two exhumers and no boosts because I find this is a good balance that allows me to chill (and watch your videos). It is impossible to please everybody, but personally I would like to see additional content where you mine solo using multiple accounts/ships.

[@SkyBroable]

Solo heartbeat is solo. I run my own corp with multiple alts and really enjoyed the mining fleet vids you made. Also doing drone mining with an Orca when I figure out my next production set for whatever I am making and selling or doing something else admin related. For me, Eve is a production and mining sim. Have done some pvp and other, but always falling back to industry :)

[@ld192]

Mining is not my primary isk source but I will do it as an AFK action while doing PvP. I will gas huff what I need to run reactions. Vitals, Instrumentals, etc. I will also afk the ore sites in our home hole depending on which nullsec region we're connecting to. I do not use Porps or Orcas. The ore sites in home are afk with T1 barges using T1 strip miners. Gas sites are run using T2 huffers using command destroyer (no compression). I simply return the ore / gas and then return to the site every 20-25 minutes.

[@EdwardPereira-f9j]

For me solo heart beat equals solo mining. I like your orca fleet videos. Orca plus a hulk fleet mining solo is my eventual aim.

[@_Garm_]

At the start i was Isk oriented long time ago, but now i have my small fleet Orca and 4 hulks. and my mining now is mostly in belts and making sure i have Isk for a spare fleet in case the worst happens. other than that i was waiting for skills to get to 5 so i can fly a Rattler :) now im mostly doing missions and solo mining like you with a porp or orca drone mining in. I agree with you would be more fun to have new ship types that are drone focused.

[@FluffyLea]

I'm also solo, with my 4 accounts. I appreciate both types of content, though: Single account stuff and multiboxing. After all, both have different challenges.

[@_Garm_]

im for the ride what ever you choose to do in eve :)

[@thomashafner2224]

Personally I shoot for about 100mil per account per day from all sources. I think that’s a reasonable goal thats not terribly difficult. But I also don’t stress it too much I just pay for my 3 accounts using the different discounts instead of worrying about plexing them so I’m a bit more relaxed about making as much money as possible. As for the definition of “solo” in my opinion is playing by yourself regardless of if you’re running 1 account or 50 if it’s just you it’s a solo activity.

[@euseila]

Please tell how can you keep talk for 1:24:07 , daam boy , are you a speaker in church or what ?????

[@larsvanhulst301]

I would love to see some more null sec (Drone) mining. Have been considering mining anoms in null.

[@ProdHeat]

in high sec u will almost never be ganked

[@SHOTSLAPOUT]

Solo is not multi boxing. I paid for 2 years OMEGA on sale, so not worried about making ISK. I like my corp and fleets but mostly relax after work by mining or lvl 4s. My OMEGA has the 2 alts so 3 on PI. The ALPHA mainly sits in JITA to watch prices on PLEX after I sold a lot of PLEX and now trying to buy it low. A lot of ISK has been spent on doctrine ships but we do have SRP for them.

[@Itskaty_]

I thought that too until I remembered it's kinda the same way we play The Sims. We're controlling multiple characters on there but we're still by ourselves playing solo. We switch to each as needed and watch the one that happens to have the most intersting things going on at the time while waiting on tasks to complete, laser cycles in this case. Then when one inevitably catches the kitchen on fire while we're trying to get the other to take a bath we learn from the mistakes and train their cooking skills to max and laugh the next time the gankers try to get us and underestimate our tank. Then we go back to trying to figure out why this Sim is adverse to showers while waiting on laser cycles.

[@perryhayter3857]

Dont let a few complaining viewers try to bully your content. I appreciate seeing the variety of what one person can do be it with one account or many. I think there different kinds of solo mining. Fk the whiners

[@titanx3675]

Solo = Solo heartbeat. I really like your fleet mining videos. You actually got me into the game. Watching your mining fleet videos I was like. Hell yea I wanna do that. So I created 10 accounts and I keep adding more. It's funny because I am new to EvE. Everyone I speak to doesn't believe me. They are like "Your new to EvE but you have 15 accounts?" haha I think your idea for a new Drone Mining ship that focuses on that only. Would be soooooooooooo Cool.

[@asmolboi3254]

12:14 true...

[@ld192]

Wormholer here. Solo in PVP means one combat ship and that's it. Having a scanner for a scout or as eyes but not combat is acceptable under the definition. Solo is the one combat ship. Solo in mining: One player but can have multiple mining ships.

[@Pigg626]

so the idea of solo.... its complicated coz i mean yeah 1 person with 10 account is solo but for the normal person in hi sec running them all at once and stuff its a big investment that some ppl might not be willing to make

[@RFlairPC]

Solo = Single player. We all use to play ultima like this.

[@deanwilkendorf5304]

Actually in this game, SOLO should mean "Single Account", since one person can have multiple accounts. To me, there is no difference between a multiple account user, and playing with friends. But it is sooo much more difficult to play with only one account, as a single player. If that's what you are doing... you are AWSOME!!!

[@Meta_Gryphon]

A good amount of isk per day ? Who has the time, the energy, to play even 1 hour per day ?
