Sorry about that Souca it was my choice of system and it's not good - I'm happy to relocate seeing as I made a hash of the choice.
No worries. We'd both just gotten back into it so there wasn't any real way to know if it would be decent or not. I've moved over to Inder with my mining ships. 0.5 system so the rats are more frequent, but as long as you have a remote armor repair and good drones or a combat ship they aren't an issue. I worked on a belt that looked pretty fresh. After 3 hours I think I only mined out about 20% of it and got something like 1.6M trit, 0.54M pyr and 0.31M mex. Never saw another ship at the belt the entire time. In fact, even with my 5 ships there local never went above 15 players. There is only one station and you need to make 2 jumps to Hek to sell anything, but it's definately better mining.

If we can all find a decent system or two to work in that would be cool. If possible I'd like it to be in Gallente space, or at least a short trip from their turf, so I can put up a POS to do BPO research. My main has 3.94 standing with Gallente so it will be much faster for him to get to 6+ standing as every other faction standing is below 1.

3 days to a freighter on my hauler skill wise. Going to have to pick up some PLEX to pay for the ship though, not sure I want to mine 900M worth with only a Iteron to haul it. I'm thinking I can either log the freighter out near the belt and log back on when cans are full or just dock and warp out. While it would be easiest to just let it float there, I'm not sure its safe to do so even in 0.5 space. Anyone have any thoughts on this? How easy is it for someone to kill a freighter in 0.5 space? Is it even worth it to them? If it were full, there is no way they could haul everything off without a freighter of their own. I never plan to take it below a 0.5 system without major protection so I'm trying to get a baseline of how careful I need to be with it in 0.5 or higher. Losing battleships are one thing, but at nearly a billion I don't want to lose a freighter unless there is no way I could have planned for it.
