![]() The Rorqual is the only ship that can use Excavator Mining Drones, which can mine insane amounts of ore compared to even the best mining barge. The drone bays are big enough to bring various flights of other drones for different purposes. All three have very big ore holds and bonuses for mining drone yield. All three require quite some training, with the Porpoise being the easiest, followed by the Orca and then the Rorqual. There are three different command ship hulls, which are the Porpoise, the Orca and the Rorqual. I don’t want to go into the details of fleet boosting and the other perks of command ships like a fleet hangar and ship maintenance bay, but only show you the basic mining stats. The last type of mining ships are Command Ships, which use mining drones to mine but additionally can boost the mining stats of other mining ships in fleet. In general the T2 versions mine a bigger amount than their T1 counterparts and can fit a lot more tank. They all have additional slots to give you a lot more fitting options and most have a bigger drone bay. The basic characteristics in terms of ore hold and mining amount of all three T2 are similar to their T1 counterparts. There are also T2 versions of all three T1 mining barge hulls. The Covetor has also a bigger drone bandwidth than the other two and can launch medium drones or a single ice mining drone. The slot layout is similar to the Retriever and hence very limited. The last hull is the Covetor, which has the smallest ore hold, but will mine the largest amount of ore. The drone bay only fits one flight of drones, so you need to pick either mining or combat drones. The amount of mining it can do is in the middle of the three T1 hulls. The second T1 hull is the Retriever, which has the biggest ore hold but a very limited slot layout. The Procurer also has quite a big drone bay, which will allow you to bring mining and combat drones at the same time. However, the amount of ore you can mine in a Procurer will be lower than in the other two available hulls. It can also fit the best tank of all T1 hulls. The T1 hulls are the Procurer, which has the most slots of all T1 barges and gives you a lot of fitting options for different scenarios. There is currently no barge for gas mining, so you need to stick to frigates for this. All mining barge hulls have bonuses to ore and ice mining. The next step up from mining frigates are mining barges, which also come in several T1 and T2 versions. Here are some other basic stats for the three hulls: Mining Frigates It also can fit a covert ops cloak and warp cloaked. The second T2 version is the Endurance, which has a bonus to ore and ice mining. Instead of the warp core stabs bonus, it can fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device II, which allows it to warp cloaked and operate more safely in low sec. The first T2 version is the Prospect, which has the same mining bonuses. ![]() For extra safety it has two build in warp core stabilizers as a hull bonus It is one of the most newby friendly hulls in game and every player will get one for free during the tutorial missions. The smallest hulls to mine are frigate sized and come in one T1 and two T2 versions.There is the Venture, which is the T1 version and has hull bonuses for ore and gas mining. However, there are several hulls that give bonuses to mining gear and have a build in cargo bay to store big volumes of ore, ice or gas. In theory, every ship in Eve that has a turret hardpoint or drone bay can mine. Mining missions will require the same equipment and skills as regular mining and agents will ask you to mine the three basic resource types: ore, ice and gas. Before I am going to continue my mission running series with mining agents, I want to give you a brief overview of the different ships and modules that are used for mining.
