Eve bantam setup

Maybe put on another cap recharger or Scan res script if a recharger won't fit I'll take 2 carebears to go, with extra tears. Aria Ta'Rohk wrote: Lol Bantams For real though, looks pretty good, although I don't think you need the sebo if you can't rep to even half the boosted target range.

The Mining Laser II is the best mining laser on the market not counting deep core miners, which will be discussed later. It has the same cycle time as the other types of miners, but it has the highest yield of all mining lasers. To use a Mining Laser II, you must have the Mining skill trained to at least level 4, so this laser type is not for beginners.

A deep core mining laser must be fitted with a mining crystal that is calibrated to a specific asteroid type.

The mining crystal will eventually be destroyed after repeated use, but without it, the deep core mining laser has such a low yield as to be practically worthless.

But when a deep core miner is fit with the appropriate mining crystal for your needs, it gives you a significantly higher yield than the regular, non-crystal types of mining lasers. Strip miners can only be fitted to mining barges and exhumers, so I will discuss them after discussing those ship types.

As I mentioned, cargo space is an important issue to consider when optimizing your mining operations. Industrial ships are out there, and even a beginner won't need long to train up the skills to pilot one. But before we get into that, I'll explain a popular mining technique that can make the most of your industrial's cargo capacity while also reducing trips.

Jetcan mining , short for jettison canister mining, is a popular technique among EVE Online miners. The way it works is to jettison the ore that is in your cargohold, which puts it into a floating cargo container with a capacity of 27,m 3 much more than most cargoholds.

That way, you can keep on mining even if your ship's cargohold doesn't have room for all of the ore that an asteroid holds. But won't other pilots try to steal your ore? Well, it does happen, but if you're doing jetcan mining in a high security system, then if someone did try to steal from your can, you are granted kill rights on anyone who steals from your cargo container, so you can retailiate for fifteen minutes after the crime is committed and destroy that person's ship but not that person's pod, because that's always illegal.

For those reasons, pilots stealing from other pilots' cargo containers does not happen all that often in high security systems.

At any rate, jetcan mining is great in conjunction with using an industrial ship, because your industrial's superior cargo space will allow you gather up most, if not all, of the ore that you just mined. To max out your industrial ship's cargo space, there are a few steps you can take to increase your ship's capacity far above and beyond what it comes with.

So be sure to train up your ship's skill to make the most of its cargo capacity. Also, you will for sure want to fit Expanded Cargoholds to your industrial. They can be fitted to your ship's low slots. They are not rigs, so they are not destroyed when you remove them. These do exactly what it sounds like: they expand your cargohold, increasing its capacity. There are various types of expanded cargoholds on the market, including the Expanded Cargohold II , which, while expensive, is usually readily available and gives you a considerable capacity increase.

Then, you will want to get a hold of some Medium Cargohold Optimization rigs. These rigs can be added to your ship using up the upgrade hardpoints to permanently increase your cargo space. You can remove a rig from your ship, but the rig will be destroyed in the process, so keep that in mind. Finally, you should make use of Giant Secure Containers , which are cargo containers that occupy 3,m 3 of space while having a capacity of 3,m 3.

Don't ask me how they do that; I have no idea. But anyway, if you have as many GSCs as you can fit into your cargohold, you will get a nice bonus in capacity. When considering which industrial ship to use, you need to consider the limitations of your skills, the cost, and the number of low slots the industrial ship has. That last one is important because of the modifications mentioned above.

The Bantam, a strong and sturdy craft, was originally an extremely effective mining frigate. After its redesign, the Bantam's large structure had to give way for logistics systems that ate up some of its interior room but allowed it to focus extensively on shield support for fellow vessels. The Bantam is bonused for remote shield boosting, which matches the Caldari racial focus on shield tanking.

Flying the Bantam is a great first step in learning about Logistics. But the Bantam is also effective all on its own, especially as a component of frigate or destroyer gangs, where speed is key.

One defining challenge of flying Tech I logistics frigates in general, and the Bantam in particular, is sustaining enough capacitor to run the ship. Training character skills that increase capacitor will also help.

It might seem that fitting the Bantam with an afterburner instead of a microwarpdrive MWD could spare some capacitor. But the Bantam needs to keep up with its small-ship fleetmates in order to repair them, so it usually needs an MWD.

This also means you may need to swap out modules on any pre-fit Bantam hulls that you purchase on corp contracts, to make them work with your skills.
