Watching an Apoc mine brings back the memories from 2004! Have to say it looks a hell of a lot cooler with the new graphics though.

[PerceusFinch]

This hurts me but I get exactly why it's good but seeing a battleship mining still hurts :)

[jockboy]

This takes me back to my early experiences of eve in the early 2000’s!

Harvester drones used to be so expensive but this with a bestower on my alt was our standard mining setup

[TaiMizuki]

Actually quite an impressive build. The only problem is the cargo hold vs that sweet mining hold. You'd either have to go back and forth too much or you'd need to use containers and haul that stuff back. Also, with such a high valued target you'd be prey to pirates for sure.

[BaliAgha]

You came up with this idea? 2:02 My son.. we used Apoc's to mine in 2004.... 20 years ago my child.

[TheLastEinherjar]

The Apoc is not the best as of last year the Rokh can mine 13.6 per second. The praxis can have a huge cargo hold so if you want something that can afk, you can use that(And you still get more m3 than a venture with no skills needed to fly the ship). You also don't need to fly to the asteroids every time, they don't move and will be in the same spot after downtime every day so you can just bookmark them. History: yes, this is how people mined before the ORE ships were added to the game, and the mega was at that time the best mining ship in the game. PS. This works really well with a fleet where you have compression.

[darkarcanum]

300 mil...you can buy a lot of ventures with that. Hahaha.. appreciate the fun Acey

[TheGentlemanGamerGG]

Exactly! Back in the day Battleship mining was the best!

[barbarossa]

Reminds me of my first mining ship in 2005.

[brianblack]

+1 on your video it looks fun. I still use my Venture to mine in most places. But I did some mining with a Punisher, Merlin, etc. for fun. When I can find a "quiet spot" in high security space I have used my Bestower to mass mine at much slower rate but it can haul 25, 000 volume (5 times the Venture). All of these ships can be used by Alpha players, but you could lose them should someone find you. I tend to load up my Venture with 2 Miner II class lasers, Upgrade I, a decent engine to warp out fast, and 2 expendable drones. The drones, in most cases, can handle NPC pirates. But if a red player shows up, best to warp out and buy more drones later. Liked and subbed.

[wexstie]

reminds me of when I just started playing Eve, and didn't realize Venture had a mining hold, so I was using Heron to mine, because out of T1 frigates it had the most cargo hold. And then I realized haulers existed, so I've fitted a Badger with a single mining laser and did a couple of runs with it lol

[nolan]

For a bit cheaper, you can use a Talos which is also pretty good for this role. It can almost get 10m3/s with alpha skills.

[tobberh]

Okay, I really need to comment some things here having mined a LOT in EVE back in the day before the fancy new Mining ships. Back then Apoc was the ONLY viable mining ship for serious miners.

And get that useless MWD off that mining ship right now! Such a waste of CPU and PG. If you are serious about actually mining you make bookmarks in the belts of a good mining system, and you warp straight to them. There is plenty of range on the mining lasers to cover big areas.

And can mining has always been a thing with an alt hauling to station. We even had to name the cans, I think with a bookmark with the time to make sure the active can was not despawning so you knew when to make a new one. At least until the Orca which again made everything easier for proper mining ops.

But fun video to watch, got all nostalgic about the old mining days. :) Great vids, keep'em coming! :)

[rainrirox]

I saw in the community fit two fits for praxis the advantage is that you can jump to 10k m3 so 2 ventures cargo hold

[TarisRedwing]

This reminds me I saw a Praxis in a belt the other day mining lol.

[rustynail]

Jet can mining, ahhh, that takes me back :)

[chrisclarke]

Yes, jet can mining was the best way back in the day (2000's). A shame alpha clones can't use T1 mining drones. It is pretty disappointing that CCP doesn't let alphas use one of the mining barges. The more they tease the player with goodies, the more likely they will play more and maybe subscribe! I used to do 2 hulks, jetcan then use a bestower to pick up the cans while the other hulk continued to mine. Only an alpha now, stuck with just one account and a lowly venture. Trying out wormhole mining for gas sites. 20 mill isk/hr but very risky. Had to hide for an hour as I was being hunted, did get out, only done it once. Certainly better than hi-sec mining.
Also when I was running level 4 security missions In 0.5 space, some of the deadspaces you had to warp to would have omber asteroids in them, so I would bookmark them and mine them after the mission. Since omber was only available in 0.4 and lower. Don't know if this is still the case.

[dynamischesduo]

This was the way to go in the beginning of Eve :-P There were no Miningships available.

[justsoicanfingcomment]

I remember mining in the steel banana! Way back in the day. Before the Venture even existed. Before Alpha existed. It hasn't changed much. XD

[sindahir]

oh yeah this was we used in nullsec mining fleet. 10-40 players mining apoc, 2 haulers and we get 1-3 belts per day
