I don't get out and wash my car or take a nap. But I am searching the blogosphere for new articles, read those and maybe comment on it. Placing 3 or 4 mackies in the ice belt works fine. Having an eye on local every now and than to see if some significant changes happened.<br /><br />The less active ice mining (as I'm not really afk) is also good way to stay open for communication. friends and corpmates see you online, join in TS and talking about god, world and what else is there.<br />Programming a website or reading a book (or the eve fiction articles) is also a create activity in addition to ice mining.<br /><br />Obviously Ice mining is a really stress less action. If you want to play active it is the wrong activity. Use it as group building event and for talking. But not for action.<br /><br />If CCP is going to iterate on mining profession I hope they keep the old style and ADD a new one. Would be no problem if an active ice prospector would get double or even three times as much in same time. I would totally enjoy that. But sometimes it is just chilling to read something else without being not active in eve.Chaninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-69917649514420213662013-04-13T22:13:17.266-05:002013-04-13T22:13:17.266-05:00"So I don't see the advantage of ice mini..."So I don't see the advantage of ice mining except for hiding from CCP."<br /><br />LOL - given that the penalty for botting is the banhammer, I think you can see why hiding from CCP is not merely an advantage, it is a requirement. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-60540487046379275762013-04-13T19:30:32.362-05:002013-04-13T19:30:32.362-05:00You got me there.

But the good mining ones don't seem to be bothered by roids depleting. They are programmed to go to the next rock or next belt that is bookmarked. So I don't see the advantage of ice mining except for hiding from CCP.NoizyGamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315716516032999133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-79405576383698089962013-04-13T00:36:44.009-05:002013-04-13T00:36:44.009-05:00To passively grind ISK, ofc, while you are busy wi...To passively grind ISK, ofc, while you are busy with your day job, or taking care of other personal issues.<br /><br />Whether you use the ISK to support your space poor low sec PVP pirate alt, or to buy mission running shinies, or to buy PLEX to pay for your game play, or sell the ISK to RMTers - everyone has a reason to do AFK mining, just like you should be doing PI and R/D agents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-90575342904116101012013-04-13T00:31:06.076-05:002013-04-13T00:31:06.076-05:00I actually use one myself, Noizy.

...I actually use one myself, Noizy. How about you?<br /><br />Ice mining bots are much easier to code than bots designed to mine minerals. They are also far more difficult for Team Security to detect/confirm, due to the nature of ice mining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-71463471475038704182013-04-12T21:31:01.120-05:002013-04-12T21:31:01.120-05:00@Anon 12:51...

I don't think you get the point of AFK mining. You turn on your mining lasers and then go do something else - watch a movie, wash the car, take a nap, whatever. Depending on your mining yield, you only need to check your computer once every couple of hours or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-13354470211860946692013-04-12T12:48:08.484-05:002013-04-12T12:48:08.484-05:00New Order pilots won't attack Procs, unless yo...New Order pilots won't attack Procs, unless you are stupid enough to bling fit it. Every Proc they kill is a net loss for the New Order, due to the cheap cost, esp. since a Proc can't be killed by a solo dessie.<br /><br />BTW - you don't need/want to fit your Proc with T2 modules. Use T1 or cheap metas instead. The difference in EHP is negligible (relative to defending against a gank) and using cheap T1/metas ensures that the ganker gets nothing of value, even if they do drop - which makes you even a less desirable target.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-53558920248108273212013-04-12T12:38:33.836-05:002013-04-12T12:38:33.836-05:00"Heck, no self-respecting botter would waste ..."Heck, no self-respecting botter would waste their bot's time on ice when they could mine the more profitable mineral asteroids."<br /><br />Ice roids don't deplete, unlike mineral roids.
