The Covetor is now extremely easy to get into - you can have a brand new pilot in a Covie with T1 Ice upgrades/harvesters in less than 12 days, then have it upgraded to full T2 in a further 12 days and max (er, min) the laser cycle with Mining Barge 4+5 in a final 20 days.

With my Orca boost (still doing Industrial Command Ship 5 to max my boost), my maxed out Covetor pilots are cycling ice at 178s whilst my maxed out Hulk pilots are only getting a 10.5s advantage at 167.53s - a Hulk costs around 200m, a Covetor only around 30m.

Whilst I will eventually put them all in Hulks, the Covetor is an amazingly efficient ice mining platform and a far lower financial risk out in the field :)

All Mining Barges now require Mining Barges I and Astrogeology III to fly, so as soon as you can fly one of them, you can fly all of them. You can get a new character into a mining barge with minimal skills to mine Ice in just about 7-8 days.

Good to know. I need something to do at work and level 5's were never a good idea to do there since I can get pulled away or put on the phone at any time. Since I'd be in hisec for mining I'm sure I would have to do ice since the hisec roids are so small.

If you have the settings adjusted right and turn off Aero in Windows you can get quite a few Eve's running. Aside from memory, my biggest limiter is monitor real estate.

And yes, this means I'm back boxing Eve ;) I'll be doing the most mundane thing you can box, mining Ice in high sec starting with 21 clients.

Hey Souca, I remember you, long time no see.

My box is a i7 with sli 560. I recently upgraded it to 14GB of RAM. But I seem to remember my Eve clients taking up around 600mb each. After OS and everything I'm sitting at 10GB free. Good luck with Ice mining. I tried it and almost shot myself due to boredom. But if I suppose if you have 20+ miners going, you'll be busy lol.
