Man, I thought RES were just places to shoot stuff.... but talk about a gold mine!
I like it.
I like it.
Dont forget too bring a T9 and open your ship for MC!
Ok I've not tried this....
I'm thinking of purchasing a T9 to go mining with multi player crew. I plan on installing turreted mining lasers and weapons plus a fighter bay
The question is would any be up for type of game play?

It's a blast. I've tried low and regular sites with a shielded and armored T9 with a fighter bay and with the help of the security forces and the fighter you fare good on your own, making profits both from mining AND bounties. I still have to try on a High site, but I dont think I can survive for too long on my own. I'd love to try this with a wingmate or two.

I'm sure there will be. My wingmate tried it in beta and said it was a blast.
This is my first time, so I'm not sure about the mechanics. I've been mining a HIGH in a Medium Security system, and it's very well-patrolled. Does that mean it's a "High Security" RES? because I always assumed "High" meant "High Risk"?
I do know that there are great concentrations... lots of 3Ps and gold in the 20-40% range, and the fragments have a higher yield as well. So much so that I'm in and out with a full load of very profitable commodities in no time. You just have to make sure you're mining withing 15km of the RES, or so I've found.
And you're right, it is a blast. When I do get to turn on a pirate, it's great. And even when I'm happily mining away there are fireworks shows to watch

I've taken cargo in to a High RES, in my Python and Anaconda.
And I'm telling you, you get dog pilled very quickly by pirates.
But!
Once you fend off the initial spawn, and security arrive, it becomes significantly more manageable.
I'd imagine the Anaconda is an excellent multicrew RES miner.

That's what I'm mining in now - a Python. Just dropped in with some metals, so we'll see how it goes.
I tried to go HAZ on my own -- it was too much. I could beat the NPCs, but they just kept coming and coming.

I'm sure the "Low, regular and high" tags on extraction sites are based on the activity at the extraction site. A Low site it's one with very low pirate activity and a High site a well crowded area. That's why you want to bounty hunt in high extraction site, because of the very high pirate activity.
The security level of the system will tell how quickly the police forces of the system will join the instance if there is criminal activity and how quickly they send reinforcements, but with time they will show up in full force.
This is based on my observations, I could be very wrong, but I think it works like that.
It would be nice if there were resources that could only be mined in a RES. Better yet, only in specific RES. This would be great for CGs, as everyone would be using the same spot for mining. And the "protect the miners" bountyhunting CGs would be mean something.

Now that's what dangerous mining should look like
HAZ Res mining in a wing is some of the best gameplay in the game. A real reason to wing up, the best mining cr/hour, and one of the best combat cr/hour. Especially fun if you bring more 'fighter' style ships rather than big 3 / FDLs.
Nah, your paints too clean to be a minerNow that's what dangerous mining should look like

This is where multicrew could really shine. The helm mines away, while the crew use the turrets, with extra pips, and SLFs to defend the ship.

Yeah, went out with two wingmen the other day. Protected a new player while he mined in his T-6. I in my Viper IV and the other wingman in his FAS. Loads of fun.
2 years into the game and I've just learned how much fun RES sites actually are
