That said, holy crap I was broke forever when I started Eve, he has been playing 1 month and has 7 covetors (going for like 40m now) and an orca (600m+). Also, skill wise... wow.

Anyways.

Ive been mining in high sec since I started playing again, have yet to get into missions this time around. Missions are definitely, without question, better money, but I love to zone out and mine for whatever reason. Anyways.

As long as you are actively cycling your strip miners, high sec isnt too bad.

From what Ive heard, and you low sec folks correct me if im wrong, but with how high the price is on trit lately, veldspar beats out even some low sec / null sec ores on the "what to mine" list... that might be outdated info though.

I would love to take Morganti's advice and join a null sec corp and go mine the big boy roids, but there are hassles there too. I have at two points in my eve career lived out in 0.0 and both times the same thing happened. When mining was good, it was great. But then some jackass would come sit in the system cloaked and nobody could ever find him and so we sheepy miners wouldnt know whether it was safe to mine or not... that and 0.0 rats are no joke and will kill the shit out of your barge if youre not on your game, but thats less of a problem now that im boxing.

Anyways, that was way rambly. All I got -_-
