Important: Some skills reduce the amount of powergrid and CPU needed for some of the equipment, and this lets you fit more powerful gear. Each item that you want to fit will show this data in its Get Info window. Here, for example are the fitting requirements for a particular mining laser. All of your gear must fit on the ship without overloading either of these meters.
Each piece of gear uses some power and/or cpu capacity.
Notice how as you install each piece of gear, the "CPU" and "Powergrid" meters change their values. Once you have the gear in your own hangar, just open the "Fitting" window and drag each piece of gear onto your ship.
Or, if you have the E-Uni rank of Freshman, you may be able to find them in the free gear hangar.
You can buy all of the items in the Regional Market. This will be covered in the " Dangers" section of this guide. Two drones - defend your ship from NPC ratsĮxactly which drones you need depends on the type of rats in the region where you are mining.Damage Control I - prevents damage to the ship.
Mining Laser Upgrade I - increases the mining laser's yield.Medium Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extender - increases shield strength.1MN Y-SB Compact Afterburner - gives the ship a quick burst of speed.Salvager I - salvages stuff from dead pirate ships.Two of EP-S Gaussian Scoped Mining Laser - mines an asteroid for ore.The large text is the name of the item the small print describes what the item does. But for now, you just need a fit that works.įor mining in high-sec systems (Level 1.0-0.8), here is a good fit.
You can, and should, read all the details about how to fit a ship, one day. A "fit" is a set of lasers, drones and gear that fits your ship that is, a set that does not use more power or CPU than your ship can supply.ĭevising fittings can be a complicated, time-consuming process. Mining lasers are your first concern, of course, but you also need drones for defense, an afterburner, and other gear to improve your mining abilities. Now that you have a ship, you will need to equip it.
So, when you have time, first look at this list of Mining Skills, and then look at the E-Uni full list of basic skills for more information. To be an expert miner, you need a much wider range of abilities. Even trained to III, they will only give you the basic skills. Capacitor Systems Operation – more ship capacitor.CPU Management – more ship CPU processing.Power Grid Management – more ship power.Spaceship Command – quicker spaceship movement.Salvage Drone Operation – use salvage drones.Light Drone Operation – damage bonus to light drones.Drone Interfacing – drones do more damage.Reprocessing Efficiency – even better mineral processing.Reprocessing – better mineral processing in general.
