Osprey 4tw! Check out inherent bonuses, Osprey gets +20% mining yield per cruiser skill level which adds up really fast, with cruiser 4 you get 80% extra mining yield which is alot.

IŠd say Vexor. DonŠt know if (and @ which drone/cruiser skill lvl) the + mining yield bonus for the drones beats the 1 more mining laser on the Thorax. But it has also enough dronebay to carry 5 mining drones + 5 med combat drones and more cargo space. .............
been there done that |

With the appropriate cruiser 5, Osprey or Scythe. Without, probably something like the Thorax. -----------------------------------------

I dont know the math, but my one tip is bookmarks, I use a thorax with 3 miner IIs, 1 blaster, 1 railgun, 5 mining drones, and carry 5 combat drones. I jet can mine in .5 space with out much problem from NPCs. I use 2 tech 2 small shield boosters and 1 ECM jammer. I then haul with a Iteron III. If I cant get omber, I do condensed scordite, I can get a couple mill a night if I play for a decent length of time.

Im with the exequror. Big cargo, put 4 miner 2's on that beast...get quite a bit before warping out. most other cruisers generally have 1/4 that cargo space. if that.

Well, without doubt, the best cruiser for mining is the Guardian Vexor. You can fit 4 Mining lasers, control 10 drones and fit a missile launcher for dealing with NPCs. The only slight drawback is that it will cost you about a half a billion ISK.
So, while it may be by far the best mining cruiser, I doubt it would be the best mining cruiser for you. This would be The Exequror.
But your corp mates are wrong. You don't have to mine, my logistics director tells me it is not the most efficient way to get minerals. Get yourself a frigate and do level 1 missions. You will learn how to fit and fly your ship which will be far more useful when you become a merc.

Edited by: J Valkor on 29/12/2005 10:42:12 Osprey.
3 Miner 2's operating at +20% for ever level of Cruiser on top of any other bonuses. Keep in mind that his is all multiplied, so it's also an extra multiplier into the yeild equation.
Only issues is that it fills up pretty darn fast. If you train up Industrial to even level 1 you can get a hauler. Just mine until you have 6K m^3 in a jettisoned container then pick it up with your tugger.
For protection is has some drone capacity and an extra launcher bay.
However, if you wanna be a merc, feth it. Do missions until you have a buncha combat skills and ISK then seek a decent alliance to join.

Osprey. 3 turrets, +20%/level yield. At cruiser 3 that's effectively 4.8 mining lasers, at cruiser 4 that's effectively 5.4 mining lasers. (And at cruiser 5, 6 mining lasers, but chances are by then you'll have a battleship) -- Lyrus Associates is recruiting

osprey and scythe
osprey is a bit better cause its got more cpu to fit the miners... but both have 20% mining yield per level.
. Ravenal - Fate is what you make of it.

No you do not have to mine, you can do agent missions where you train your combat skills and earn isk too.

Osprey or Scythe, don't even think about any other cruiser. An Osprey with cruiser L5 skill can mine almost as much as an Apoc. ___________________________________________ http://www.eve-tutor.com

Indeed, osprey or scythe, i think it depends on which race u started with.

Osprey, it has a little bit more CPU and a slighty bigger drone bay, that was prior to RMR, not checked it recently.

But the Osprey has more Structure, Shield, Cargo, Power, CPU, Cap and Drones... and it gets 10% to medium hybrids instead of 5%... so tah...

/me giggles at the thought of someone with cruiser skill trained to 5 still having to mine in a cruiser
Almost as funny as "supposed" PvP alliances being forced to mine scordite in low-sec empire. --------------------
