I have not mined in a long while. So now I have decided to rebuild our ore stocks. We made several billion isk over the summer months. It paid for plex and a small fleet of pvp ships. Of those pvp ships....several have been lost.
So it is time to rebuild our ore stocks and sell them. Use the isk to rebuild our pvp force.
Yogita is skilling up to use a Rorqual so it will be nice to have 2 capital class mining ships on field.
Over the weekend I did something I have not done in a long while. I insured one of my carriers. This carrier is ONLY used for closing wormholes. I decided it is time to insure it because soon I am going to get caught sooner or later.
Usually, I take a scanner ship in and see if there are ships active in the system. If it is clear I quickly grab my carrier and go and out of the wormhole to reduce the mass of the wormhole. This is the riskiest time. You have to burn about 12 km in a carrier that goes perhaps 250ms with the fit I use.
Now If I get caught I will get about enough isk to replace the carrier easily.

6/10 Hunting.
This has been our bread and butter for a while. Basically, I use a Gila a cruiser with bonuses to shield resists, and drone hitpoints and damage to run rally points. You see rally point yield very low isk per site. I think I make 150 million isk in A week! However, I do this hoping to get the best drop you can get in guristas null sec the pithum a type invulnerability field. This module is worth about 1.1 billion isk. So far I have 4 of them. I am hunting for number 5.
Some people in the Eve community will say I am nuts for using such an expensive ship. It is worth about 200 million isk. However, we never buy this ships. We simply use our store of minerals from mining to build them when we find blueprints running ...6/10 complexes.
In Eve complexes are rated based on difficulty and in some ways the value of the items you can get running the sites.
So a 1/10 is very easy and the drops basically suck. However, the best for high-security space in Eve Online seems to be the 4/10. It can drop an item worth 200mill or 250 million.
In Null security space, you find 6/10 through 10/10 complexes. Basically, the 10/10 is supposed to have the best drops. Well, Eve is a special game. Players make up the economy. We decide what is valuable based on basic market principles of supply and demand. So because the 10/10 found in our region is SOOO easy to run the items that you get are not worth so much. In the past....the 10/10 was KING. Tanking for the final room in the complex was so difficult. Due to this the modules that dropped were high in value. Very few could the site called "The Maze". Yogita and I were one of the few able to run it. We made billions doing it. Now...it is so easy to deal with the heavy dps the last room can dish out. So many people run the site and modules you can get from it have dropped in price.
Actually, even at that time the 6/10 still dropped the best item ever. So now we are farming 6/10's to fund our pvp!!

Time for an update!
Well, lets see...we have not been mining much. This is due to branch becoming so active with roaming groups. In addition, war is on the horizon again. I should say that one mining op I did get tackled in my Rorqual...I destroyed one of their ships at the start of the engagement. Then I just kept tanking them. Yogita realizing that I was low on heavy water (heavy water is what keeps a Rorqual running in siege mode with the self-rep bonuses, and enhances attack/mining drone performance).
So she brings her Chimera on the field. A Caldari class carrier is not the best in terms of damage output. She shields, on the other hand, are quite powerful. However, the dps from the enemy fleet was quite high and Yogita's carrier started losing shields and dropping into armor. You could see the heavy armor damage on her capital class ship as 30 cruisers poured damage into her.
I started repping her with my own capital shield remote repairer (a faction one too!). I could see Yogita's shields regain strength. Yogita is very aggressive, and together we tried to alpha people off of grid with her fighters aided by my drones. Yogita lost fighter after fighter until...she had none left.
Meanwhile, we had a rescue fleet forming and prepared to save both of us.
Late in the engagement, Yogita's carrier was starting to bleed into structure causing hull ruptures along the 4-kilometer long capital ship. I kept sending aid and the hostile fleet knew they had only seconds to destroy her ship and get out. Too bad! Yogita overheated every shield tanking module she had. In an instance once I light a beacon that would allow other capital ships to come to our aid we were flanked by massive support capital vessels. Yogitas vessel was stabilized and we docked up safe and sound. Now here is the interesting bit. The enemy fleet did not realize that the Rorqual (worth about 5 times the carrier isk wise) was out of heavy water! Had they have switched to me...I would be the one in real hot water.
That was a long time ago. In the summer. Recently, I have been trying to build up our Jita pile to 20+ billion isk and get back to mining.
