If you've been on discord you know this already but if people haven't. This is for when 3.12 goes Live.
Semi-Daily Mining Ops
Mining Team:
2 Moles - Crew 6
2 Prospectors - Crew 2
3 Scout/Additional Fighter - Crew 3
Escort Team:
1 Station Overwatch/Beacon - Crew 1
3 - Escorts: 2 Fighters, 1 Eclipse - Crew 3
Total People - 15
Just to be clear this is just to start out and will probably change composition after the first time. Its escort heavy for a reason. Beginning in 3.12 we're going to see a LOT more people at Lagrange Point Rest Stops which is where most of these will take place and there will likely be people looking to make trouble. Those people will be asked to leave with laser, cannon shell, missile, and torpedo.
Op Times
These would be done on both weekdays and weekends. Weekdays would be in the evening US Central Time and weekends in the afternoon, same time zone.
====================================================================================================================================
Role Explanations:
Mole - Does the mining with an eye toward going as quickly as possible, simple enough.
Scout/Fighter - Prowls the asteroids looking for mineables. The goal now is to be omnivorous now that refining is in, therefore ANY mineable will do.
Station Overwatch/Beacon - Single fighter stationed slightly above and around the Rest Stop/Orbital Station 10km from the station opposite where the mining is. This is to allow the Mole to lock onto this person for quantum jump and immediately be within the station’s defenses and closer to a pad than may normally be allowed just by jumping to the station alone. Will switch out with escorting fighters as they bring the mole in after each run.
Escorts - Should be moving around the Mole at a good distance(10-15km) looking out for any hostiles. The Eclipse is there for heavy support to destroy or cripple larger ships. Silent but deadly.
====================================================================================================================================
Notes so far:
If the Mole is radar locked, that will trigger a cessation of mining and it will begin alignment to jump out. Escorts would immediately close in to the Mole while pinging the area to try to identify hostiles. Station Overwatch and Scout will jump/fly to the Mole to help secure the area. The Eclipse should not engage unless needed. Lets leave that as a surprise as much as possible.
The Eclipse’s first target will be Cutlass Blue or Mantis interdictors followed by medium and larger ships.

Still looking for more people for either mining or escort. Just reply below. People wishing to do escort be mindful it will be A LOT OF SITTING AROUND most of the time. Its not glamorous but will be lucrative in the long run and worth your time.
====================================================================================================================================
Further expansion to additional roles in this order:
1 Mole(remove Prospectors)
3 Escorts + Upgrading one to be heavier(MIS/similar)
