10 accounts, help me decide what to do with them/train on them

Did they change any of the reqs for flying the mining barges when they changed their roles around? EVEMon still has the old reqs from what I can tell.

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.
