EUNI Participating in an mining op
- 1. a.k.a. What to do when you see a "shared can, please x up" AMC Edition, Rev 2 EUNI 2014 All there is to know about: Participating in a mining fleet
- 2. OUTLINE • How fleets are announced and formed • Key differences between BYOC and Shared Cans • Standard procedures/best practices • Spreadsheet and payments • Ship types and other impacts on yield • Staying safe during wartime • How to react to the unforeseen
- 3. HOW FLEETS ARE ANNOUNCED AND FORMED • Pay attention to OPSEC • Fleet Advertisements are not used in the AMC • Calls and x-up only in secure AMC channel • Not on the approved list? Not allowed in fleet.
- 4. • Everybody is mining into a shared pool. Profit is shared. • Fleet sticks together • Dedicated hauler will move all ore to a central location • Boosts are mandatory (pretty much) • Slacking is not tolerated • Everybody is mining on their own, for their own profit. • Spreading the fleet in encouraged • Everybody is responsible for their own hauling • Boosts are optional • Pick your own pace KEY DIFFERENCES BYOC Shared Can
- 5. STANDARD PROCEDURES ROLES IN MINING OPS Role Count Skill Requirements Training time Fleet Commander 1 Willing to step up 0d Booster 1 Basic Orca Perfect Orca 60d 140d Hauler 1 Miasmos (up to 8 miners) Orca (up to 16 miners) Freighter 10d 60d 60d Miner 6+ Mining ship Covetor Hulk 5d 50d 90d Scout/Picket 0-2 Eagle eyed 0d
- 6. STANDARD PROCEDURES FLEET MOTD • Read the MOTD • Questions? Read the MOTD again. • Minimum requirements for the MOTD • Name of the FC • Link to spreadsheet • Location/Belt • Optional info in the MOTD • Can naming scheme • Time span • Ore types Images © CCP
- 7. STANDARD PROCEDURES SPREADSHEET All AMC Ops use the AMC Buyback Spreadsheet • http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/AMC_Buyback_Spreadsheet • FC is accountable for the spreadsheet • all names must be in written out completely • Laser on/off must be entered in a timely fashion • Spreadsheet must be accessible to all fleet members at any time FC not doing a proper spreadsheet? • inform the FC • if FC does not resolve the situation leave the fleet and escalate to an AMC Officer ASAP
- 8. STANDARD PROCEDURES TIME TRACKING Laser on hh:mm/Laser off hh:mm • used to track your contribution • hh:mm is expressed in EVE time • not used when fleet changes belt AFK for lunch, bio, door, walk with the dog, other half/third/…? • put it fleet chat, have FC acknowledge • if return is ensured state intended dock time • if not: Laser off
- 9. STANDARD PROCEDURES PAYMENTS All AMC Ops are equal shared based on contributed time • Venture or Hulk … same time = same ISK Usage of the AMC Buyback is encouraged but not required • FC may opt to sell the ore to the market if this improves the payout FC is accountable for paying the fleet members • turning ore into ISK and distributing the ISK takes time • allow for up to 7 days • if FC does not respond escalate to AMC Officers
- 10. STANDARD PROCEDURES JETCANS Jettison from the cargo hold will create a “jetcan” • no skills required • lasts up to 2 hours Jetcans are always named • to inform the hauler (e.g. Fleet hh:mm/Full hh:mm) • keep track of can lifetime • hh:mm is the creation time, it is not changed when renaming to full • unnamed cans are usually scoped right away Bumping a jetcan will reduce the lifetime Images © CCP
- 11. BEST PRACTICES Changing belts • is highly encouraged as soon as the FC calls it, but not before • kept to a minimum to keep downtime and hauling effort low • if you feel like you need to switch belts ask the FC for permission Getting yelled because of doubling? • can result in lost cycles -> less ISK • use Alt key to check the roid
- 12. WHAT IS AN ORCA AND WHY DOES IT MAKE A FUZZ ABOUT WARPING? Orca provides 3 major boosts to the fleet • 10/15% mining yield (passive) • up to 11km extra mining laser range (active, 26km range) • up to 33% cycle time reduction (active, 122s cycles) Range and Cycle time are provided by active modules. They are automatically disabled upon warp. 15 km range w/o Orca boosts 26 km range with Orca boosts Images © CCP

- 15. STAYING SAFE DURING WARTIME If in doubt deploy a scout • if not do it anyways • scouts are deployed several jumps out • scouts are paid Don’t idle in space, be on comms 99% of all WT victims agree to at least one of the following statements: • If I had docked before going AFK I would still have a ship. • They told me the wartarget was called out on comms, would have helped if I had my headset on. • Autopilot during wartime is a dump thing. And why the hell was it routing me thru Jita, Hek, Amarr, Dodixie, Udema and Nairja? • A proper instadock/safespot bookmark would have saved my bacon.
- 16. HOW TO REACT TO THE UNFORESEEN 1. Stay calm 2. Take a deep breath 3. Does the FC know about it? If not call out on comms. • Use the Five Ws 4. Recheck “Safety Setting” and drone settings 5. Listen to the FC Never engage anything in your industrial ship. Ever. Not even a guaranteed kill.
