Pioneer Mining Skillplans
Added during the 2025 Catalyst Expansion, the Pioneer finally brings a new mining ship to the hands of Alpha clones. It bridges the gap between The Venture and Mining Barges. All skillplans on this page are fully Alpha Clone compatible, and training times take into account the 50% Alpha training speed. While still useful for any fit, these plans were built around the Pioneer fits found on this page.
