So the proverbial goldmine turned up twice over the weekend. Class 5 systems produced ladar sites full of C320 (going for ISK160k/ unit in Jita that night) and C540 (going for rather less). The spawns are battleship size supported by frigates. Needless to say the gas mining ships are not really enough to take these out so we bring in remote repairing Dominix to take down the spawns. This has the unfortunate effect of putting a serious dent into the home system wormhole.
You need a hauler, my hold can hold 40 units or 6minutes of mining. One Iteron III can keep up with 3 maxed out gas miners across 4 wormholes.
I mine in a Myrmidon, with a co-processor it can fit 5 tech2 gas miners and a tank, just (499.75/ 500 teraflops). Each cycle take 1.5minutes and pulls in 10 units. That is ISK1.6m/ 90 seconds or about ISK60m/hour. Not much compares to that.
It isn’t the most exciting of Eve time but with voice communications, the thrill of unknowns entering the system, the corporation wallet expanding it is acceptable.
The second night we mined for a bit then had a tourney. If mining is watching paint dry, then gas mining is watching dry paint fade…
