Hey,
I got now my mining ops running and i mine a good bit of ore each time (iam in null sec)
but i entcountered a big problem. How to transport the ore... my corp luckely got a comression array in the system, so i dont need to leave the system. But last week i needed 2 and a half hour to transport the minind ore from the belt to the Compreesion array (with 2 miasmos (or something like that ^^)
Some people use a Freighter or an Orca because of the large cargo space.
hauling alt. A Miasmos can keep up with the yield of a dozen miners. Larger operations should look at using a freighter. Don't bother with an orca - its 1/5 the hauling capability of a freighter for 1/2 the cost, not to mention it can't pick up enormous freight containers.
Yeah thats what i thought... Do you think i should consider a roqual ? Due to his ability to reprocess it on the fly ?
use a rorqual for boosting. It can compress but you can also use a compression array at a POS if there is one set up.
I have switched to the macks for ore capacity, and warp everything to a compression array when full. It doesn't take all that long to unload and get back into the belt.
Depending on your fleet size, it may be better to use a hauling alt. Time spent warping to a pos and unloading is time spent not cycling mining lasers.Quote:

If I were running hulks or covetors A Miasmos would barely keep up. 8 Covetors would keep a cargo toon busy with an orca on field acting as a fleet hanger.
(I have no experience with Rorquals so I cannot offer any advice regarding them)
I mean you could use a rorq to haul - just sit off 250km and tractor cans while aligned. The easiest way to mine is to drag ore into an enormous freight container hands down. If you're in nullsec then there is no good reason to have an orca.
