Drone Mining in a Vexor or Arbitrator

If you go hardcore with your drone skill it is possible to mine nonsensically high levels with the Gallente Vexor (or Amarr Arbitrator) cruiser (like 40 crok/min with appropriate normal mining skills). There are four skills of interest you need to keep in mind.

Gallente/Amarr Cruiser gives +10% to drone mining per level (with the Vexor/Arbitrator, Without a Vexor/Arbitrator the

best drone mining you can get is 2 crok with level 1 drones and 3 crok with Level 2 drones.)

Drone Interfacing gives +20% per level to drone mining

Mining Drone Operation gives +5% per level to drone mining

Mining Foreman gives +2% per level to drone and turret mining when in a gang.

How to Mine 1 Crok per drone per minute

(As stated above)

```
T1 Mining Drones
```
```
Drones I
```
```
