Mining Op

Post by Dolly Parton »

Check your corp mail. I sent out a preliminary questionnaire so I can get a better understanding of where the corp is at with respect to mining and to see what we can get done. Please take the time and reply.

I need info on what the corps goals really are. Not something said in passing but an actual goal. For example I am planning on building every ship in eve. Of course I can't do this but one day my buddies and I will do it and we'll be rich, biatch!

I have been told 5punk builds amarr freighters and there is a carrier project but thats all it is to me, here say. :shakefist:

in the mean time i will sit around awaiting your response. :ninja:

:) :) :) Also I have technically never planned a corp mining op or even been on one. Have been in group of 10 and under mining but to me it wasn't really a corp op just some friends making everyones lives easier so if you have any advice or see something that is just not going to work let me know please so i can learn and grow. ok this is starting to get corny so cya :roll:

ps

doesn't this guy just groove :boogie:

Where in the hell did you get that idea?! I wish we did. We, or I should say, Peter Armstrong own an Amarr freighter. We build a lot of T1 modules and ships up to cruiser level in Tycho, but due to lack of resources (mins, inclination, people to organise us) we've not really got this off the ground as much as we'd have liked. Fea is working hard on coordinating this now, with online spreadsheets and further market research both in game and on the ISS forum.

As far as goals, until now it has been to achieve 250mill profit per month (a very limited goal, but enough to cover fees and sundry costs). However, I'd ideally like us to triple that figure to 750mill profit per month through sales of ships alone. Whether we mine, repro loot, or buy it off the market, there are plenty of source of minerals. The aim will be to sell the ships and all the modules required to fit them out for PvP or ratting.

As for ice, if we can cover all the LO, HW and a good part of the Helium Iso's for the chain each month that'd be grand. The ice fuels alone cost us over 300mill per month at the moment and any saving would be fantastic. There is also a flourishing market for strontium around here.

I can fly all the exhumers (have lvl 4) but own none of them. Also got Ice Harvesting 4 (5 by Friday morning) and can use all the T2 mining lasers (strip and deep core) and all the t1 crystals (bar a couple but nothing that a couple of hours training couldn't fix)

Got a large barge in deep space, one in our normal hang out in empire (naming no names as this is the public forum!) and also the corp barge which is free for use by all (it should still be kitted out with Strip Miner II's and a decent range of crystals i think)

Currently in W9 there are 2 covetors and 2 retrievers. Since none of them are insured anyway, can I propose we officially make them corp ships rather than trying to get everyone their own barge down there? It'd save on space and be a lot more efficient. Will have to check fits etc.

There is a 'communal mining' can in the ore&mins part of the hangar with some crystals and stuff in it (you need a hauler to access cans in the hangar).

Large Marge the Mining Barge (corp empire covetor) is currently being held by Passadiri in empire fitted with T1 lasers iirc.

The Mackinaw that Mano uses in Maspah occasionally would be better off moved to GMLH for Fab/Fea to use.

Gonna move a ship array down to GMLH as soon as I get around to it.

The corp insurance thing sounds like a good plan to me :)

Random thinkage type thing: How saturated or otherwise is the fuel market in Catch? As that could be a major money spinner for us if its under supplied as we could hike the price quite a bit over empire as people wouldn't have to get it hauled out to 0.0

I suppose we could still go for empire prices (or slightly up) as we will be able to hammer it out at a fair rate once we get a few Macks going at it :shock:

Dolly, could you copy me on that corp mail? We Fw4ppers in Empire have our mining ops as well, and can contribute low ends to the cause. In fact I'm going to start building retrievers and covetors for the miner types to use, much better than frigs and cruisers!

corp mail sent to f4wpperws yesterday in game, it is just a how goes it let me know what u got so i can plan for best op.

we have a covetor bp with 3 runs on it in tycho i suggest we build them before the op. empire guys we will need T2 strips and T2 moduloated strips for these things. mining upgrades is really nice as well. i or 5punk will come pick up and bring down the pipe, payment i am sure corp will pay

9 - strips
3 - mining upgrades

when we do the ice op we will need

9 - T2 harvesters (6 harvesters if we get makinaws) these are expensive
3 - ice upgrades

the barge minerals i have 1.2-1.3 million m3 of ore at pos1 that needs moved and refined. oh and i bought 100k units of isogen from a bud so if need those too take it.

crap got to go to a meeting now bbl :x

Woah slow down tiger....I need a summary of what you actually want to achieve here before you start spending all the corp's rather limited isk/minerals on Fw4ppers who havn't ever been out to 0.0 and who mostly can't fly covetors or use T2 strips. Let's get a list going of exactly who you think is gonna turn up and when and then we'll look at getting the right ships and lasers in place for them m'kay? It'd be a bit pointless spending 100mill on bits when only 3 people turn up in the end

Also, Fw4ppers usually don't come to 0.0, because we tend to get shot on sight there.... We're not in ISS for a reason, but that also makes us targets to EVERYONE out there.

We're the Empire division in a sense. We do well in the safe spots, but have a nice POS with Hemo and Jaspet and such close to home, but in .2 space as well.....

Also, Fw4ppers is planning to give Covetors to it's miney graduates, (built by Fw4ppers before they graduate). Right now we give them Badger MK II's when they can fly them, and I'm looking for bpc's for retrievers to 'have on hand' for our miney types until they get into their covetors. Just to speed up the ore suckage while they train barge V. For our combatty types, a BC will remain the graduation gift for moving into 5punkcorp.

So save your bpc's for use out there as you need them!

go to go to another meeting so make quick

don't want f4wpper to run it here, just get it at their HQ and then I would bring down. got jump clone for both alts there now, so from there to w9 is simple for me.

the reasoning behing building the 3 other covetors is
1) get 2 with ice harvesters and leave at pos 2 (gmlh)
2) other one goes to pos 3 with the other 4 barges. that should put us perfect.

I hate flying barges even 1 jump cause they suck

go to go bb in an hour or so

As explained in-game, Dolly is our 0.0 mining ops coordinator, not empire. We currently do not have an empire coordinator which is why I'm happy for Dolly to bring together some info. But Dolly will be organising mining ops in 0.0, we need someone else to worry about empire ops.

At the moment, we cannot get together enough members to mine in 0.0 to justify building a mining barge fleet. The minerals are better used building other ships to boost funds so that we can then expand current operations. We should not be commiting our resources where not required.

We will eventually, but not yet hmm? First priority is getting a ship array into our ice mining POS. Get that then start filling it with cool ships. :D

We have enough ships at the moment to mount a decent op. Soon we will get more dedicated mining ships into place, but that's between me, Fab and Friz, not a corp effort. Once there we'll be happy for anyone to use them, but they'll be nominally 'ours' not the corps. Therefore we'll be paying for them. 2 or 3 macks stationed at that POS should keep you going for a while Dolly! :P
if we get that many maks in gm sweet thats all we need there. but i want them to stay there. no since moving them out of system and losing them at a gate.

for the ore tho, i know for a fact quintum, miro and kenny rogers all fly hulks, just none of us have one right now. nor do we have a covetor so we r going to be using yours till we get some made.

i have a crap load of minerals in gamis and yarebap. i can get numbers later but i am sure i can cover all the minerals for the 3 but tri and pyer. so we will need to work logistics on that. either i can sell it all to f4wppers (includes some morphite) or when we get the ship array down here can just bring with then.

let me know when, how, who or if we are going to bring the large ship production array down. i can get my old sister corp gank to bring it down in their carrier, thats how they brought their large and med down to catch. but i am sure your just talking about the ship array to store ships instead.

what we need to figure out tho when we do this op is where all this ore is going to go. pos 1 - 2/3 full of ore now, took me about 4 hours to mine enough to do that (solo)

i'll be on a little after 5 est if anyone wants to get on vent or ts to discuss.
