Lv 5 mining amp's

[LordFirehand]

Hello I for some time Have used lv 5 amp's. I'm small time compared to most people. But still manage to
do about 400 to 500 ped a day in Probes. Plus 2 or 3 lv 5 amps. But I have found that non amp'ed .
I'm getting lv 4 to 5 claims. But with lv 5 amp lv 7 mostly. Running unamp'ed I can quite often Break even.
But 90 percent of the time lose Quite big with the lv 5 amp.
It seems I only break even with the amp, When I manage to get a global or HoF to even things out.

Thanks any advice would be awesome.

Well you're at some disadvantage when you buy an amp, because the markup on it means you're already behind when you start. You also see no return on the markup for the unused portion, though that's a small amount.

If you're going to use amps, you need to average higher markup to break even, meaning hunting ores with more markup.
