Also, will people just never attempt to gank Procurers? I realize it's the tankiest of the lot, but I feel like that years ago, people would gank you just out of spite if you tanked to try to be safe from them.

On the other hand, I'm guessing a Retriever (or Covetor? whichever had the highest mining yield) is gonna get ganked in seconds upon undocking with that little EHP.
And finally, I apparently have enough processing skills at IV to gain a little more money from selling reprocessed ore instead of the ore itself, but is there some other thing I should be doing with my ores while chill-mining? I recall standings and somesuch factoring into the reprocessing yield.

Procurers are never worth the gank because of the fact they can also bite back pretty hard. They also tend to be bait. You could probably kill em in a Talos but why bother? And both the procurer and the retriever mine the same amount, the covetor and hulk are both the dedicated maximum mining amount ships. Standings can factor into how much your taxed when using NPC stations, but the maximize you refining yield you want a nullsec outpost or upgraded medium + skills + implants. If the chill mining corp wants to optimize having a compression + refining medium citadel would be for the best.

Groon teamed up with hole violence and lazerhawks to poop on some random wormhole nerds citadel and got some bonus carrier kills. It was all really pretty and the cerb is still one of my favorite ships. Raata sunset skin is really the best.

It was awesome teaming up with yall, sorry we made you burn so many jumps for the second one only to get the rug pulled out. Best part of the night was HV getting top damage and Groon getting the KB :hellyeah:

I don't get how forcing people who may not want to live in a wormhole to live in a wormhole is going to help either the GSF or Hole Squad. While I understand living in Goku is more tolerable now given that there is a citadel (although I thought POS life was just fine), wormholes are still an area of the game that many people don't want to explore. We had our fair share of dead weight in Goku with Hole Squad being an optional squad to join, so imagine how bad it'd get if you forced people to be in the hole.

I was joking

As a newbie, I do kind of feel this way. I log in from time to time, hop in the standing fleet or get shouted at by boat, but I don't feel like any kind of connection to anything in game. I mean that's mostly my fault, I've been busy with work lately and don't log in as much as I should.

There are plenty of squads that never have relied on our sov and continue to operate normally (or even more than they used to) such as Miniluv, Hole Squad, and SV. There's probably more I'm forgetting.

The only reason to be in w-space is to make isk. Except a bunch of the people who live in w-space have some stupid e-bushido honor code thing about being hard core pvpers.

Unless you live in a few select high end high class w-space corps making money in holes is absolutely not easier than it is in k-space.

its not easier but you make a shitload more money and its a lot less obtuse and apocryphal to theorycraft than sifting through missions or escalations

Yeah, but at the same time your investing a lot of money into a dangerous environment. There's no local and your pay off isn't immediate. Although right now in HS the system we have set up does make things much more convenient than they normally would be. All in all my opinion of w-space money making is when they introduce "active" moon mining they should bring it to w-space and buff C4's so they are no longer the bastard child of high class wormholes.

Yep, there are several, depending on exactly how passive you want to be about it. My mental list:

* Planetary Interaction (PI) -- Best for newbies, and honestly drat near everyone. You push buttons on a planet, with almost no ISK investment to speak of, and it generates sellable items out of thin air that you can pick up a short time later. You have to push butan again to start another cycle. You can customize how quickly it delivers; generally, the more frequently you have to push butan, the more you get out of it. Most people go for either 24-hour or 72-hour cycles, or even 1-week cycles. Can be done by anyone with no real competition to speak of; however, the more characters doing it on the same planet, the less each character gets, so you ideally want to find planets that few people are using.

Funny story about this, after starting a buy back program to run factories goku's planets have gone from a two dozen or so CC's in total to more than a hundred.
