Got my retrievers!!!! I bought 3 retrievers and 6x modulated strip miners. Made everything I spent back in 2 hours! One can flipper stole 6000m3 of ore while I was using the bathroom.

What were you mining? Veld only or a mix of whatever was available? The system I'm in now is really crowded. Most belts are empty so it's hard to get a consistent yield going. What is your system like?

Also, are you using a combat ship to handle rats, or just swapping out drones when you get rats?

My system has been pretty darn good. Even if all the veldspar is cleared out there's tons of other minerals to mine. Veldspar does have a good isk/hour ratio, but I wouldn't say it's mindblowing. I don't even refine my crap, I just right click>sell. I could take my ore and sell them at a different station for perhaps a increase of 5 isk per ore, but most of the best deals are like 6 jumps away. I'm not gonna sit in my hauler and wait for it to jump 6 times just to get a measely 100k profit.

Last night some noob was hovering right near me while I was mining, he stole like 493m3 of ore. I had to constantly empty my can right away so he wouldn't steal. After a few minutes of that I just warped everyone to another belt. So that slowed me down a bit. I encounter a can flipper pretty much every time I go mining.

As for rats I have a lazerr mounted on my hauler. He can easily take out any rats that will bother us with the single laser, it takes a while but it gets the job done. I used to have rocket launchers on my ospreys that sped up the kill, but since I upgraded to retrievers the high slots are occupied by strip miners. I am considering creating a new account just to deal with rats and can flippers. But since I'm a pvp noob I need to research how to kill people and pvp first.
