Are fighters faster than transports at mining, and if so could someone give me a comparison?

I don't have numbers, but yes, small mining ships are faster at mining than large ones.

Edran Vayrn is wrong, Cruisers are the best at mining.

I have no idea, but I know that mining is really boring, and I would much rather trade.

Well, I just watched a damn fighter fill a 5k in less time than it takes me to fill my hegemon. So.... time for an atlas and mafic I guess.

' Wrote:Well, I just watched a damn fighter fill a 5k in less time than it takes me to fill my hegemon. So.... time for an atlas and mafic I guess.yes, fighters do mine faster, but it's only something like 20% faster. If someone filled a 5k in less time than it took you to fill your hegemon, that's more likely due to differences in loadout or style.
Checklist for max mining:
-Mining ship
-Mining faction ID
-Matching mining faction IFF
-Two symmetrically placed mining turrets

Do more mining turrets make it faster?

' Wrote:Do more mining turrets make it faster?If you hit the rock simultaneously with two turrets, you can get more ore.

Snub miners have a bonus of 10-20 %. That was done to increase teamplay and discourage solo-mining.
The second advantage is that a small group of snub miners can kill Ptrans and weak GBs that comes into a field (just saying: snac!) plus survive most of these encounters long enough.
So... yes, definitely go for a snub miner.

' Wrote:Are fighters faster than transports at mining, and if so could someone give me a comparison?Fighters have a 25% bonus to ore yields over transports when a mining bonus applies. This was done to promote team activity in mining - fighters are incapable of mining alone. Multiple mining turrets should not make a difference but I've observed using a second turret does make me mine about 15% faster. Probably from lucky hits on the second shot. I've tried with 3 or 4 as well, but more then 2 didn't make me mine any faster.
