Currently I have a Gallente Imicus with two Miner I's (with II's waiting for when my skill finishes training up), and two basic cargo expanders. I keep two hammerheads in my bay(soon to be augmented by a third drone, a warrior I guess).
I like mining; it brings me cash, and cash is good! I also like my drones. They're sexy.
So what I want is some advice about which ship to purchase next, and how to outfit it. I'm looking for multiple options...
And a question that has been burning into my mind is - Could I mine into a secured container with a miner ship, zip back to a station, switch over to an indy, then come back and tote the ore from the container back to the station for selling? Does that work? Could I tow the whole container back, or do I have to take the ore out and haul that instead?
I like group mining, but sometimes I dont have the patience to seek out a group and interact with others...and I just want to pull some easy money in on my own.

Well, if you like mining a good next option would be a indy. If you move out to 0.7 space, you shoudl be able to mine solo into some giant containers to get some nice cash flow going in. After that, you could try to push for 3 mining lasers on a incursus, but really the imi will do a much better job. But just get into the motivation to save up for a vexor. The vexor is a great ship, and should serve you very well.
Thats just my opinion though.

Hmm, An indy would save you alot of time..
- What you do is...
You start mining what you wanna mine (I'd reccomend scordite or kernite), as soon as your cargo fills up with some ore you jettison it. - A can will pop up next to you. Name it the time it was created, for example "12.33". Open it and move all of your ore into the can. You need to make a new can every 1 hour and move all of the ore in the old can into the new one. This is so that your can won't go 'poof' - which it will after 1-5 hours. Once you're done mining you go back to the station and get your indy - warp back to the belt and move the contents of the can into your cargo and haul it back to station. Repeat until the can is empty.
- Once you have enough money I'd suggest getting a Thorax , a great ship for mining.. It can take quite alot of time to mine up that ammount of isk in a frigate. Asking a corp for help could be a good idea..

Essen. My advice would be to train up to cruiser level and buy yourself a Thorax. Properly skilled it can fit 5 miner 2's, and with a hauler you could make 3 mil + a day.
The thorax has a good drone bay and you carry a mixture of mining and combat drones. It is also an excellant combat ship, fitting 4 rail guns and a laser, or any combination you wish.
I hope you find this advice useful. All the best me

Definitely get a hauler if you dont have one yet and start can mining to reduce trips and have bigger hauls...
next get a mining cruiser... Vexor or Thorax are it really.... Both will be useful to you even after you can afford a battleship :)
If you can afford it, get a thorax, its the best cruiser for your money... It'll whop any other cruiser one on one (if you have balls and drone skills), and it mines better than any other cruiser as well...
