When you come in and out of Eve only every so often, so much of the details get lost by the wayside. Especially the stuff you haven't had the need to use or figure out yet. This is helpful.

First, halada's complete miners guide: http://www.lsjv-eve.com/completeminersguide_v2.2.pdf it has everything you've ever wanted to know about mining in eve and more, with all sorts of math and calculations to back up his talk. Second, toxicfire's ore map: http://www.fluidorbit.co.uk/ A wonderful database site that will let you look up what kinda roids you wanna harvest, where they are, what security the systems are and what kinda rats your going to see in that system. Third, ombey's 2d maps: http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/ombey/Eve_Regions.pdf It's a wonderful tool if you want to print them out and have them around your computer area. Lastly, EVE forum link for the new player that I found absolutely wonderfull: http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=798823 I found much of the information there extremely handy when I was starting out, so fear not, we've all been at the confused newbie stage at one point or another. Thats what this info is here for. A few links for you in your EVE travels, I found them to be invaluable.

Hope it doesn't get ganked... A more cost effective jet can alternative is to get a gallente character as your hauler alt and get skilled up to gallente industrial 5, that ship only need 1 rig to be jet can capable so is much more affordable. Incidentally one reason to avoid a hold full of GSCs is the carpal tunnel issue. Try it for a while and you'll see what I mean.
