that much? Raeky and I have three perfect (as in every skill is at 5) mining characters and when we mine in 0.0 we pull in around 100m/hr
combined. How are you calculating 50m?
Average hulk pilot pulls in ~1500m3/min with t2 crystals, 2 MLU II's, no mining bonuses, no drones, or 90k m3 an hour. A/B/C are worth respectively 500/400/300 isk/m3 (using Jita mineral buy prices and perfect refine). Though you should be mining arkonor as much as you can due to the high megacyte prices, say you make 450 isk/m3 on average (taking into account the 10% and 5% ores). This yields 40.5m isk/hour.
Of course, this is theoretical yield, but we also aren't taking into account mining bonuses or drones. Even with Mining Foreman 4 you go from 1500 to 1630m3/min, which raises your hourly income to 44m/hour. If you self-haul with your miner, your yield goes down of course.
The main point wasn't the ~6m difference between what you experience and what the theoretical should be for an average miner, it's that you simply don't make 80m/hour mining bistot (you should be mining arkonor anyways)
