but if you want to mine the high end ores then join a null bear corp, otherwise give up the dream of sucking up jaspet and spud just not worth it the cycle time will get you killed before you even get 1 cycle done. OMG, OK go ahead to low sec with it if you want it blown up, fitting warp stabs your not getting away and the cheap HP on a retriever is not going to cut it, 2. T1 strips can be substituted for the T2 strips easily if you need (they need less fitting), just less yield obv. 19.3k EHP with the best named DC, 19.8k with the T2 DC (2% implant needed). T2 Bulkhead adds ~1k EHP at the cost of a MLU (since you need a Damage Control to make any kind of Hull tank work at all) assuming you keep the In What you end up with is this: Mining Laser Upgrade II Internal Force Field Array I (or DC II, see below) Mining Laser Upgrade II Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal I Modulated Strip Miner II, Veldspar Mining Crystal I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I For Drones, you can do 1x flight of mining drones, or 1x of combat. Hull tanking isn't really going to do much. You'll need a 2% CPU implant at All V's if you use a T2 DC, but a best named fits without any implants. 6k EHP on a ship that won't break 20k is huge, and going with 3x MLU's would require either a 6% CPU implant or a +CPU rig (at the cost of a CDFE and thus even more tank) at Max Fitting Skills. If you don't, though, a best named MSE and a T1 MAPC is a good option as well until you get those cap skills trained up. If youv'e got the cap skills, a T2 invuln is the better choice. A shield extender isn't a terrible idea, but you'd need a Medium to be in the same ballpark as a T2 Invuln, and that means a MAPC for powergrid, which means 1 less MLU. Even a small eats too much cap to stay stable, which means either devoting rigs or lowslots to cap recharge, which means you'll lose tank in the end. Also RE: Shields, a Shield Booster of any kind is just an awful idea. Really though, just train for T2 invulns, it just neesd a single Level IV skill. A named is better to use than T1, as it has lower cap usage. If you can't use T2 invulns, a named T1 invuln gives you ~700 less EHP. For the mid, you'll be best off with a T2 invuln, but beware you'll need some amount of cap skills to make this stable (EFT it for sure to see if it works for you). 3x CDFE's is the way to go for rigs (dropping one for an ice mining rig loses you ~1k EHP). One mid makes your shield choices pretty limited. You can get the same yield with a 3-4x better tank at the cost of the massive ore bay. If you're concerned about EHP above all else, just fly a Procurer. Anything armor is also low slots, which means less potential MLU's, which means less yield. Your base armor is the lowest of shield/armor/hull, you can't fit a plate bigger than 200mm because of the grid, and even if you went all Trimark rigs to max out your armor buffer, you're still lagging behind a shield setup. Here's a few tips: - Forget any kind of armor tanking. Just to clarify your question there.ĭue to the slots, there's not a lot of ways to tank your Retriever. Cheers, Chris Edit: Any MLU applies to Stripminers. Switch to Ice-rigs and IHUs if youre planning on icemining. Internal Force Field Array I Mining Laser Upgrade II Mining Laser Upgrade II Adaptive Invulnerability Field II Modulated Strip Miner II Modulated Strip Miner II Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Medium Core Defense Field Extender I Hobgoblin II x5 This loadout gives you a good balance between tank and mining yield. The latter are specifically for icemining. Second: Depending on what you mine you can choose between MLUs or IHU. At least in Highsec noone will attempt to point you, the only thing you should be prepared for in High is getting alphastriked - thus you either survive until Concord kicks in or you die anyway. First of all: forget about the warpstabs idea. Which ones would be best? Thanks in advance. Which ones apply to strip miners? Armour upgrades. However would the max targeting range penalty apply to drones? Mining upgrade module. Neither is a problem for mining barges (in my opinion). I noticed that stabilizers reduce scanning range and max targeting range. Could be useful if I'm solo mining in lowsec. I will be mining in high sec at the moment but at some point may venture into lowsec, I will have a combination of mining drones and hobgoblins depending on where I'm mining. I have a small shield booster in the med power slot but am wondering what I should fit on the lower slots.
