I think I know the post to which you are referring. It was excellent research at the time, but things have changed. Namely that L miners no longer have trouble at gates. The problem was the miner would stop, spend about 2 minutes lining up at the rear of the gate before flying through. Egosoft has since changed things so that L ships just have to be in very close proximity to the gate and they "poof" out of existence to traverse it. It has been an effective change to make L ships more viable.Midnitewolf wrote: ↑Sat, 1.

I know observationally, the fact that M miners use gates correctly, can use superhighway and have a much faster docking/undocking and load/unload procedures seems to make them better. Also you have cost to think about as well. If I recall correctly, you can buy something like 5 M miners for the cost of a L miner which gives you greater transport capacity for the same costs. Eventually when you got more credits coming in than you can spend, there are a lot of reasons to go L but early on I would say, M are much better.
@Egosoft Too many mining ships in the game, Preformance is bad
