My thoughts too, asteroid belts don't seem to last an hour with 4 rerievers going at them...

If that's the case then, is there a way to make low-sec mining a little less dangerous? Should I disband my Corp and join another that could offer me some protection? Or should I go with 6 Hulks, 1 Orca and 3 droid defence ships to offer protection?

It's a shame that Eve is so geared to PvP. I JUST WANT TO MINE, STOP SHOOTING ME
