In EVE Online, mining ships are specialized vessels designed for extracting ore, ice, and gas from asteroids, ice fields, and gas clouds. These ships range from small frigates to massive capital-class haulers. Below is a breakdown of the different mining ships available: Mining Frigates (T1 & T2) Best for: Early-game mining, solo/small-scale operations, gas harvesting. Ships: - T1 Mining Frigate: - Venture (ORE) Best T1 mining frigate, has bonuses to mining yield and gas harvesting. - T2 Mining Frigate: - Prospect (ORE) Covert ops mining frigate, can fit a cloaking device. - Endurance (ORE) Ice mining frigate with bonuses to ice harvesting. Mining Barges (T1) Best for: Mid-level mining, solo or small-group operations. Ships: - Procurer Tanky, good for high-security mining (shield tank). - Retriever Balanced yield and cargo hold. - Covetor Highest yield but least tanky. Exhumers (T2 Mining Barges) Best for: High-yield mining in low/null-sec or wormholes (requires good protection). Ships: - Skiff (Upgraded Procurer) Extremely tanky, best for dangerous space. - Mackinaw (Upgraded Retriever) Large ore hold, great for ice mining. - Hulk (Upgraded Covetor) Highest mining yield but very fragile. Industrial Mining Ships Best for: Hauling large amounts of ore/gas/ice. Ships: - Porpoise (ORE) Mining support frigate (boosts mining yield). - Orca (ORE) Industrial Command Ship, provides mining boosts and large ore hold. - Rorqual (ORE) Capital mining ship with powerful boosts, compression, and drone mining (requires Capital Industrial skills). Capital & Specialized Mining Ships Best for: Large-scale mining operations. Ships: - Rorqual The ultimate mining ship (capable of using Excavator Drones). - Bowhead (ORE) Can transport fitted ships (not a miner but useful for logistics). - Deep Space Transports (DSTs) Can carry compressed ore safely. Best Mining Ship by Use Case: Purpose Best Ship(s) Beginner Mining Venture Procurer/Retriever High-Sec Mining Procurer (tanky), Mackinaw (ice) Low/Null-Sec Skiff (tanky), Porpoise/Orca (boosts) Max Yield Hulk (risky), Rorqual (capital) Ice Mining Endurance (frigate), Mackinaw Gas Harvesting Venture, Prospect (cloaky) Key Considerations: Yield vs. Tank: Higher-yield ships (Covetor, Hulk) are more vulnerable. Compression: Orca/Rorqual can compress ore on-site. Boosts: Porpoise/Orca/Rorqual provide mining fleet bonuses. Drones: Mining drones (like Excavators) significantly boost income. Would you like a specific fit for any of these ships?

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
