임무(Mission)도 좀 하고 채광도 하면서 다양한 EVE ONLINE CODEX의 컨텐츠를 즐길 것이라면 전함 (Battleship)로 채광을 하는 것도 나쁘지 않는다. 전함 (Battleship)채광은 중간급 채광선 (Mining Barge) 인 Retriever와 비슷한 효율을 낼 수 있다.

가장 인기있는 채광용 전함 (Battleship)는 Apocalypse (Amarr, tier2)와 Rokh (Caldari, tier 3) 임.

Revelation 패치 이후 Rokh가 배쉽채광의 제왕이 되었다. 두 배는 모두 8 turret slots이 있다. 하지만, Rokh가 CPU면에서 월등하기 때문에 mining laser upgrade를 하나 더 장착할 수 있고, 방어(탱킹)을 위한 피팅면에서도 유리함. 이전에는 0.0 mining을 위해 Dominix가 추천되었지만, 이런 경우에도 Rokh가 더 적합하기 때문에 Dominix는 추천되지 않는다.

• 전함 (Battleship)로 Retriever와 경쟁하려면 mining laser upgrade의 개수가 가장 중요하다는 것을 꼭 기억하십시오. 3-4개를 사용할 수 없다면 Retriever보다 효율이 떨어지게 된다.

기술은 반드시 Mining 4, Astrogeology 4. Mining Upgrades 4, Electronics 5 정도는 가지고 있어야 함.

This nice golden banana (sorry) can fit 8x T2 Miners and 3x MLU (you will need 4x Co- Processors II for this to fit though, and you're left with 18 cpu, so no space for a tank at all).

So let's see what kind of yield we will get:

60*1.2*1.2*1.05^31 = 100.0188 m3/cycle

Using Omber, it means 100.0188/0.6 = 166.698 166 units of Omber/cycle (per laser)

Since you're fitted with 8 mining lasers, you will be getting 1328 units of Omber per cycle, or 79 680 units of Omber per hour. In short, the Apoc gives a 20,95% improvement over the Domi. Yeah ok, it's something.

The Rokh got released with Revelations, and it is without doubt a nice battleship. It is even nicer when you know it outmines the Apocalypse since it can fit an extra MLU, for a total of four, while having still a bit of CPU to fit a medium shield booster, or perhaps shield extender. If you wish to keep only 3x MLU, then you have PLENTY of CPU to fit a very good tank. Do not forget the drone bay (you can have 5x T2 medium drones in there) for extra protection. For the purpose of this guide, we will use a full mining Rokh setup, but you should know the Rokh is superior to the Apocalypse in every way as a mining platform.

So let's see what kind of yield we will get:

60*1.2*1.2*1.05^4 = 105.01974 m3/cycle

Using Omber, it means 105.01974/0.6 = 175.0329 175 units of Omber/cycle (per laser)

Since you're fitted with 8 mining lasers, you will be getting 11400 units of Omber per cycle, or 84 000 units of Omber per hour. Yeah, it's not a whole lot more,

• High Slots: 6 x Miner II
• Med Slots: 5 x Capacitor Recharger II
• Low Slots: 2 x Beta Reactor: Capacitor Power Relay I, 2 x Large 'Accommodation' Vestment Reconstructer I, 3 x Armor Hardener II (Depending on regional NPC damage type)
• Rigs 2 x Auxillary Nano Pump I 1 x Nano Accelerator Pump I

NOTE: You can comfortably tank 0.0 spawns of 3 Battleship and their escorts without the rigs fitted.
