Since I have decided to go with mining as main profession, I'd like to know what finder and excavator one should aim towards, out of a functional and economical perspective.
I am currently using a z5 I believe it is called, I have maxed it, but rather than go one step up I decided to just use it until it breaks.
F104-F105 seems to be the two UL people stick to once they max em, are they the best choices for a newbie (when you max them ofc, or at least close to maxing them)?
When looking at lowest decay on finders (entropedia), the MD series seems to be good, I know from Klown's selling thread on MD50 that it is rare and expensive to buy for a newbie, but the MD40 or perhaps even MD30 might be a good choice? (Based on the entropedia MU pricing on them, I am guessing that they aren't as rare as the MD50)
How about excavators? I am using the Calypso tt excavator, but I am guessing out of an economical point of view I should find another eventually? I have been told that when it comes to excavators you will pretty much have to decide on speed or eco, so either slow and economical or fast and "less" economical.
Same thing here looking at Effect/PEC there seems to be two good choices (for anyone not willing to pay 2k+ MU for the really good ones) and that is the Arkadian TT finder that is L (so I guess I'd have to fly there get about 100 of them, since they are 2ped each and simply keep stocking up when I get low) or I get a UL RE-101 that isn't as good as the Arkadia TT one. Have I gotten this right or you veteran miners have a better suggestion?
Refiner seems fairly easy to pick if the stats on entropedia is right, MR400 seems to be the most eco of all, but unsure if the suggested MU of 260ish PED is correct or not, a better choice for a newbie might be T-104? Not a lot of MU and good eco and perhaps work my way up to buying a MR400?
Not gonna ask about amps and enhancers atm, feel that I should get some more skills before looking at that.
