Mining Barge or Battleship - This is one of the most popular Eve Isk questions. Should you head for a battleship or a mining barge? What's the difference? Which is better? All those questions will be answered in this section.
The first thing you need to ask yourself is the following: do you want to PvP sometimes as well, or are you aiming at a professional mining career and want to concentrate your character only on improving its equipment and yield until you achieve perfection (yes, there is such a thing !)
If you are unsure for now, then aiming at a battleship isn't a bad idea. A battleship will mine as well as the medium mining barge (Retriever) if not out mine it depending of the BS you fly (more on that later), and the training for both at this point is more or less equal.
If you know however that you will want to be very serious about it, then heading directly for the Retriever is a better idea. Now is the time to use the math explained in section 3 ... Let's see if you really got it!
From Yield to Ore - People are very confused as to the amount of ore they will get when doing a “show info” on their strip or mining laser.
