mining to can

[Flake]

How do i get the bot to auto mine to a can?

Hi.

Currently SM does not mine to a can.

I am deeply mortified

[Kylara]

Why is that?

SM is a lot more secure than mining to a can.

I was thinking of an anchored can

I forgot how much an anchored can hold...but im pretty sure a exhumer beats it by a looong shot. I don't see why you would possible want to mine to a can. If you can't fly a hulk, fly a retriver...either way. Can mining is a thing of the past with simpleminer..

a can hold 27,000 m cubed

a giant secure can will hold 3,900 m3 of ore.  A hulk easily carries 2-3 times that amount.  I think a jet can can hold that much.  But thats not secure.  And you can't anchor it.  And then you have to haul it.  The way SM works is optimal.  The only way I see it becoming better is if Slav can get some fleet mining to an Orca or something. (Have orca, waiting patentily)

I think some oldies forget how long it takes to upskill to a hulk

[Kylara]

approx 70 days from new character (with t2 mining lasers and refining)
but you need a fair amount of isk to fund the skills and equipment O.o

if ya cant do the time don't do the crime

Jet canning still has its uses - for example - Run SM for 9 hours and you will yield around 4 mil m3 of veldspar (give or take)

Mine to a can and use an alt to haul in the same system with the same bookmarks (fleeted) you will get the same volume in under 6 hours.  Obviously fleet bonus plays a small part (extra 120m3 per laser per cycle for me) but its the non stop mining and minimal travel the Hulk makes that wins.

Also while your waiting for enough to haul you can equip your Itty (or hauler of choice) to salvage wrecks - just dont forget a tractor beam.  Or if your really clever fit scanners so you can time the lasers to perfection for that extra boost (would probably take it down to 4mil m3 in 4.5 hours).

Of course it's a hell of a lot easier to let SM do the work so your not bug eyed the next day from mining for 6 hours staright

Leveling new character to a hulk. I bought one GTC and devided it to two PLEX's. One plex used to pay for first month, another to buy books and +3 implants. 75d left till exhumers V, and around 55 days till I can start using hulk. I started leveling less then week ago. It is time to level characters for multiclient. As I already mentioned dont create many trial accounts in the same day. CCP check this and ban people for nothing.

To some people ... a can miner is one juicy target they can be alot of fun sometimes. Yay free ore!

If You want to be stupid like I am at times, get an Orca and park it at a .9 or a 1.0 belt and let some Mining Drone II's go to work for a while.
