Through vigorous mining, I'm steadily increasing my wealth, about 10 million ISK worth per hour of pyroxeres with my retriever Tuggy the Tugboat, if my calculations are correct.
Some day I need to get working on larger construction projects, my ore influx is extremely disproportionate to its usage.
Through mission-running, and judicious social skills training, I unlocked level 4 mining missions today. the 1st mission took me an hour to complete, mining 48 000 m3 of ore, but the payout was worth it, about 1,5 mil ISK and 4200 loyalty points. To my dismay, however, the other level 4 mining missions require gas and ice harvesting skills... so I had to buy a 23 million ISK skillbook...eeep!
Still, at 80 mil cash and about the same in unrefined ore, I can afford it. I was just really looking forward to having 9 figures in my bank account.
During the 20 minutes of training I needed to get them operational, I picked up two T1 gas harvesters (yes, I should have gotten T2s if I were serious about it), and my backup Venture, now emblazoned Fart Ventura, because it'll be exclusively used for gas mining.
Since gas harvesters need turret mounts, unavailable on mining barges, I need to use a venture. It's only been a matter of days since I last mined in one, yet it feels strangely alien and "retro" to me. Such puny cargo capacity, such blazing speed.
