Some simple things to cover moon mining operations in HS.
MINING SCHEDULE:
Hephastus: Mondays 23:00
Zeus II: Wednesdays 23:00
Gerbersters, Zeus I and Greensfields: Rotating Saturdays 14:00
Every Saturday at 14:00 EVE time there is a moon pop
Participation in Convocation mining activities requires being in the Mining Standing Fleet and responding to call-outs on comms in the event of danger. Failure to do so will be disqualifying for SRP. This is to ensure that we do not lose ships needlessly and expose ourselves as a soft target to hostile groups. SRP will be provided on a case-by-case basis otherwise.
While I understand that not everyone wants to be on discord in voice Mining channel, this is here first and foremost so you can hear emergency commands. You don’t need to be able to talk, however situational awareness is very important for these operations in EVE.
Be respectful of others.
When selecting which rocks to mine, try to avoid rocks that already have someone mining them. Not only is this considered polite, but it prevents wasted cycles. As the field gets mined out, it will often be harder to find good rocks, but spreading out and being willing to mine all of the available rocks will ensure the whole field is mined efficiently. Drones can and should be used on the closest rock to you, regardless of whether someone else is mining it.
Use of alts
While we understand ambitious members may have many alts, to try to make things fair for everyone. If you have 3 characters mining, it is considered polite to stick mostly to the lower quality ore in the belt. It all has to be mined eventually, and those who bring larger groups of miners should go for quantity over quality and leave more valuable ore to those who may not have a fleet to mine with. Try to look at it as if you were a solo miner trying to make isk, and a fleet swoops in to grab all the good stuff. Individuals are limited to bringing a total of three mining barges without special permission. We often do not need excessive Orcas, and yours may be asked to not participate if we are already covered. Speak to the Mining Manager, Cyberwolf, for more information or any exceptions needed.
Only members of the Convocation and those Blue to them are welcome to mine in our moons. Exceptions can be made by the Mining Manager.
Buyback
ALL Ore will be contracted to the Mining Manager (or designated leader for the operation). Once Ore is accounted for, payouts can be made based on contribution. If you wish to keep some of the resources, you can coordinate with the Manager. Ore will be refined by our refining team and resources made available through our Alliance programs. Do not take Ore you mine away from the moon, as we must account for it to do payouts.
Scouts
We have several players who just sit and scout gates while you mine, so we can all mine more safely. When their name is tagged in fleet chat, please drop them an isk donation, as they are the ones who sit there, bored on gates, watching for gank fleets and for reds in the system.
Happy Mining and if you have any suggestions for the mining please reach out to our Mining Manager, Cyberwulf
