EVE Online - Winter Nexus Why Mining Barges Are a Big Mistake!

[@Nico_Sama]

Doing these events is a mistake to begin with.

[@SanVik123]

Why do you say that?

[@Nico_Sama]

@@SanVik123 Because the rewards you're getting from them are worthless in comparison to other stuff you could do.

Hey Ace, lots of mining players will "can mine". So once full they jettison the ice into a container, then later they come back in a Kryos or other hauler with tractor beam and mwd. Then they can quickly both mine and turn it in. The can will cause you to go suspect if you take it and it's not yours. Most players aren't going to go suspect over a mining can.

[@nigelroberts7986]

Or use a mobile tractor unit near the orca

[@Krash1776]

​@@nigelroberts7986 that's clever

[@brrt3678]

That's called baiting. Steal a can and go blinking to get the drones to aggro or swap can when the miner leaves to get a hauler, miner loots and goes blinky. Does nobody flip can anymore ?

[@testopringo6435]

Forgot an ice mining rig, also, an afterburner/mwd to get around the ice fields quicker. Helps to find an emptier belt as well.

Put a Porpoise in their boosting you can get an Endurance down to 27.2 sec per cycle without implants. (Core Running) Believe it was 29.7 without the core. Forgot all about the Yeti implants the day I did this.

[@3D_printer_guy]

So you trade the ice for those crates and see if you get good loot from it.

[@Dragotalon]

If you go in Porpoise and Endurance with MWD's on both you can get alot of Ice cause you need 7 to turn in for one box

[@jameswohler985]

Lots of folks take MTU and drop it off close to the processor. Then jet can the ice which the MTU grabs. When it is full they go and turn it all in.

That Fitting is cursed, you know in Advance that you need to move between Rock and Orca and you dont put a Prop Mod on your Barge? you crash at "0" to the Rock while Having 10km Range. Add a Propmod to your Barge (10MN AB) and approach to 9km and you fine. Maybe Try Something like this if you Solo, it will change your Mind, ALOT. Alternativly use an Covetor and a MTU to CanMine to the Processor and just exchange in the end. If you have Buddies up in a Porp or Better an Orca even better.

i love your videos. please more and hope you have beautiful day ^_^

[@hundun5604]

Lol, on basically the last day of the event, I learn that I could've earned 75 PLEX. Meanwhile I've been doing the daily AIR missions for a 5 PLEX reward...😆

[@bombicusbombicus8345]

I respectfully disagree. Porp + 4 macks/hulk will give quite the good time (7 min for a newly spawned site). You will need some safety measures when you arwe in the null\low, but high sec is easy and comfortable.

[@bombicusbombicus8345]

Oh, an idea of "mining in a single barge is a mistake" makes sense in any mining content)

[@David-fp9yr]

Orca boosted covetors for range

[@ianemery2925]

There are data sites, rewards arent great, some boosters have value - but the usual over hyped claims of the value of any skins you find.

[@generalrexgresh]

Lol literally yesterday my corp and I went miner hunting in our barges. First filament we found a 10 ship multiboxer. We killed like five or 3 of his barges before we had to get out😅

[@Jesse_Dawg]

[@generalrexgresh]

[@brrt3678]
