Covetor = Fantastic!

It seems I have had my eyes open to the ways of advanced mining practices, and I for one am loving it. In a very very short time I was able to amass way more mins than it would take using my hauler. As of right now I am finishing off Mining 5 and I will be working on my refinery skills then I will focus on mining for isk to get my own Hulk. (The Exhumer skill is expensive.)

Any Mining skills I should get?

Mining drones 5 is also a gimme for high sec mining, allowing the use of T2 mining drones. As far as refining skills, look at what you mine the most, and start working to use the modulated strip miner IIs and the associated T2 crystals. T2 crystals take the associated speciallization skill to be trained to lvl 4 but in the long run it is worth it. If you are doing your own refining, Refining Efficiency 5 is a must as well as standings with the station for zero loss. If you need corp assistance til you get the Uber skills, I and a few others have the required no loss training. I have zero loss at federation navy and minimal losses at several other stations in gallente space. As far as Concord stations, I am down to around ~1% loss with them as well. If you want to hold your ore til one of us can refine it for you it will be worth it in the end as most stations will take 5% with a 0 statndings with them, and if your skills are low in the refining, then you could be losing as much as another 15% there if not more. Been awhile since I looked for a 0 skill refine, but it was not a small loss, so check your station reprocessing before doing the refine. I am available most every night as long as it is in a station with a base 50% refining yield and you don't mind a little loss if not in a fed navy station due to standings with the associated NPC Corp.

Holding my ore may be a viable option as I certainly don't mind sitting on it.

As far as catching each other online goes, if you are mining in a system with a corp hangar, you can place the ore in a secured can in the hangar and send me an evemail. You can also just send it via contract if there is no corp hangar. I am not sure of the exact contract issue cost, but i think its like 10k isk. Just make sure you send it to a specific character or limit it to our corp.

Werd. And I can put my haulers to use. ;p
