MUch as the method we've been using up until works wonderfully, wit the changes looming (both corp and game wise) I feel now's a good time to pipe up and introduce a new form. Tank Mining.
Thebasic premise with it is that you put an uber tank on a ship, something that'll tank the damage form the rats,repair when required, and never run out of cap. THere's two way to doing this:
Shield Version: If it's empire mining, cruisers are fine, fitted like this: 1 Small shield repairer (T2 if possible), several passive shield barriers, and some shield power relays. While the power relays wil gimp your cap, with three or four of them fitted, it's somewhat possible you'll never need to run the booster.
Armour Version: Lots of Cap Rechargers, 1 Small Armour repairer (again T2 if possible) and energised membranes. Simelar principle here. Your shield goes down, you turn the armour repairer on,a nd then just sit there and watch.
Boring as it might be, when the rats suddenly grow warp scramblers and then lock the barges, it'll save us a small fortune in replacement barges.
All you have to do then, is fly into the belt fire a few shots at the rats (but don't blow em up) and then tank like a bitch
