I started out as mining in 0.0, I had allot of isk and bought characters, 15 hulk pilots which back then it took roughly 2 hours and 24 min to completely mine out a Large Asteroid Cluster worth around 900m-1b (with an orca boosting T1 links this was before T2 links). With the 15 hulks, I had my main in a tengu tanking rats, orca pilot hauling, orca pilot boosting (or rorqual if I'm crushing at the same time), I had a high sec hauling character (npc corp) which happened to have all nav skills 5 and able to fly my Rhea when I hand it off in low sec to take to high sec (war decs). I had other misc characters like a complete cyno route to move my minerals to high sec to sell, if you want to build you're going to turn the game into a job, better off having someone you trust do the building (don't do that haha). Depending on how deep you are in space the logistics can be a nightmare and require allot of balls to do it solo. I mined 5 cyno jumps away from high sec and the 500+ cyno's I light were in neut/red space with no station to dock in. I had to bring a carrier to drop ozone to each cyno alt with the Rhea (each cyno alt had 2 webs to instantly warp away the carrier/JF). The logistic headache is a requirement if you feel you want to mine that kind of bulk and do it Solo. I do have a right hand man who did help me build a few super carriers (nice profit I might add), but after my retarded alliance lost a couple baby titans I stopped that operation quickly haha.
Got any video footage of you mining 15 hulks? I thought my 8 were cool but you just shit all over me, haha.
The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it,
