The money comes from other rocks that can be in the site. Sometimes you can get low and nulsec ore in those missions (even in the combat missions.) In those scenarios, you just ignore the timed completion bonus and mine everything out before turning it in.
As an eve vet of 10 years I have never done a mining mission. Even though I have really good skills for it. I would definitely be interested in a playlist of the mining missions to see if what I was told about them not being worth it is true. A subscriber in the hope you continue it… and your other content also 😉
i do lvl 4 mining missions in a hulk or proc for gas in null for the lp and use that to buy thukker stuff to sell in empire . just be aligned and prepared to lose mission bonus if people are bored and keep chasing you all day .
It would be interesting to see if those missions give you everything needed for mining . Was the implants from the mission or LP ? If LP that means you have to grind them out to get LP for them .
i like to do mining missions in hisec because i can multibox and play 3 miners doing mining missions at once. easy peasy... for lp. lvl4 mining missions done easy afk...
Mining mission, must be one of the slowest but also low risk way to grind rep and lp for implants and such, i never did see other Ores or Gas inside the MIssion sites - tho if you are a maxed out miner you can do them ALL in a Mackinaw, just switch the low and Highslots, you can use T2 miners, since Mission Ores do not gen Waste (at least 2022) they did not, and i did not read something changing that. I ususaly end up doing some Mining missions, then i have the urge to do something in Eve, but also realy want to binge on that new Series that just launched the whole ne season - at the same time
Am I the only person enjoy mining I heard most of them saying mining is boring maybe these people have never played games that need grinding like crazy. You can play PUBG if you want to play shoot and win. MMO are and has to be grind just my opinion.
