Olga Chukarin	Posted - 2009.05.08 20:36:00 - [1] For those that dont yet know, Chain Mining is the new craze in eve. Chain Mining allows you to mine ore and ship it to a station without wasting time warping between the belt and a station with you hauler. Basically this is how chain mining works. You have your mining ship, preferably a hulk but if you cant fly a hulk use a mining barge or battleship. Pitch it in the middle of the belt, and mine. Drop your ore in a jet can. Now 2000m from your mining ship (its 2k not 2.5k to account for the distance the dropped can can appear from your ship) you park an alt in another ship. Any ship will do, even a starter frigate. The alt is parked 2k away towards the nearest station. You then park another alt 2k away from the first alt, in a line towards the station, and keep parking additional alts until you have an alt within docking range of the station. The last ship in the line should be a high m3 hauler. If you have a friend, have him fly the hauler and start parking alts from the station, you mine and park alts from the belt, and meet in the middle. You might also want to park an orca in the belt for mining bonuses The setup is something like this: M - miner H - hauler a - alt v - veldspar S - station o - orca o vMaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHS To chain mine, simply drop the can of ore with the miner and pick it up with the first alt, jettison with that alt and pick up with the second alt, jet can it with that alt and pick up with the third ect, until you get to the hauler. When your hauler is full, dock, unload, undock. If you find a belt with a station, say, 10000000km away, then you will need 5000 alts to chain it all the way. 5000 alts costs 150 bill isks per 30 days in plexes. Selling veldspar at 10 isk per unit you will need to mine 15 bill units of veldspar a month to break even, or 500 million units of veldspar per day.

New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 20:57:00 - [3] Originally by: Jana Clant Sounds practical. Indeed, I don't know why we weren't doing it sooner!

Indeed, I don't know why we weren't doing it sooner! Because it takes great geniuses to come up with these ideas, our simple minds are not capable of this level of intellect. New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:18:00 - [5] If only it had occured to me that I could make use of all 5000 of my alts, I'd be rolling in cash!
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:22:00 - [6] I know, right? It's so ridiculous how close all those riches were. New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:32:00 - [7] Can I just ask what the purpose of this thread is? I'm not saying it shouldn't be here or anything but when will this benefit anyone?
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:36:00 - [8] Oh, it's all part of The PlanÖ. New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:42:00 - [9] Oh right.. The PlanÖ, how could I be so stupid..
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:46:00 - [10] Wait, what was The PlanÖ again? I LOST MY NOTES! New Eden Research, where your research gets done!

Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:48:00 - [11] To control over half the posts in this thread of course, to gain the majority vote.
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:51:00 - [12] Oh, so that's why we keep posting after each other, we're fighting for control? What if we formed a coalition? Surely our combined power would ensure we'd rule this thread for many centuries to come! New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:53:00 - [13] I agree to your proposal! Which is easy since we have the same alliance name already, much less paperwork.
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:55:00 - [14] Indeed! I shall creatively call this coalition... New Eden Research! plants NER flag on thread New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:57:00 - [15] Uhh, thats not a flag.. it's a mop.
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 21:57:00 - [16] Always concerned with the last minute details... it does its job, alright? New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:01:00 - [17] Actually the mop people of Moppalon IV think they claimed it now..
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:02:00 - [18] Great! Now we don't have to worry with janitors anymore. New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Tyranus vonCarstein	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:28:00 - [19] I actually read this... I'm that bored... /wrists
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:30:00 - [20] Originally by: Tyranus vonCarstein /wrists It's a good job you did that in here, you know.. where there's a mop..

Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:34:00 - [21] There, you see! The mop was a sound planning decision! And get those knifes out of there, can't really afford to have people go around randomly cutting their wrists, now can we! New Eden Research, where your research gets done!

And get those knifes out of there, can't really afford to have people go around randomly cutting their wrists, now can we! I'm more worried about the mops getting cut up.
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:39:00 - [23] OH GOD, why didn't think of that?! Quickly, move the mops to a secure facility while we avert this crisis! New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:43:00 - [24] Originally by: Jana Clant OH GOD, why didn't think of that?! Quickly, move the mops to a secure facility while we avert this crisis! I have an idea! We can move the mops faster if we have a chain gang of 5,000 alts moving the mops! This will assure safety!
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:44:00 - [25] Genius! What would I do without you? New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:45:00 - [26] Originally by: Jana Clant Genius! What would I do without you? Actually I think most days you'd get more work done without me.
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:48:00 - [27] Quite possibly. I have a question though, why did you suddenly start quoting my posts? New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:50:00 - [28] Isn't this something that can wait until later? I'd rather not argue infront of this nice people..
Jana Clant New Dawn Tribe New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 22:53:00 - [29] Mops, Tavius. They're mops. New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Captain Tavius Picon Fleet New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.05.08 23:00:00 - [30] Originally by: Jana Clant Mops, Tavius. They're mops. I don't know, they seem sentient.
