Gate mining = less chance of getting caught?

Post by peelingpigskin »

Hello, first of all thanks for creating a great program that is easy to use. Now to my question. Does gate mining decrease your chances of getting caught? The way I see it is that there are less people in systems that have no stations especially ones that only offer simple veldspar. Also you are not always visible in the local chat since you go from one system to another. Obviously less money is to be made with the increase in time to deliver minerals to your station but if it is safer then it will be worth it. Am I missing something?

You covered pretty much every aspect. Gate Mining is among the safest mining methods out there. Systems without stations are deserted most of the time. Usually you could even jettison in belt without any can flippers interfering. Also you will not be a target for suicide gankers who prefer crowded systems for a chance to score multiple kills.
