What would be the best ship for mining and how long will it take to get the required skills to do so, (or is there a ship that can do both very well)

Sniper i know you have all ready told me that its the hulk (or atleast i thought it was the hulk) but i want to know (if thats not the best) what is and how long it will take for me to get the mining barge or ship
Currently mining skills:
Industry 2
Mining 4
Refining 4 (no alternate refining skills ex: veldspar or scordite)


Also i would like to know what type of ship is the best a doing missions aswell as (of course) how long all of the skill training will take and which skills are required.
Current Skills:
Amarr Frig: 4
(ill put more when i actually know them)

If you could also post what the best fittings would be please do so aswell thx!

lol skittles sup, for mining, the best mining ship to get is the hulk but that needs

mining 4
industry 5
astrology 5
science 4
spaceship command 4
mining barge 5
exhumer 3 <- this skill alone is 25.2 million isk

and to buy the hulk is between 98-102 million isk.


the best type of ships for missions are as follows

level 1 missions - frigates
level 2 missions - cruisers
level 3 missions - battlecruisers
level 4 missions - battleships
level 5 missions - capital ships and a group of ships.

with you doing level 1 missions with amarr, the best mission ship for you would be a punisher fitted with a damage control 1.

heres the skills you would want to operate and use the punisher for good damage.

gunnery 5
controlled bursts 4
rapid firing 4
sharpshooter 4
small energy turret 5
surgical strike 3
trajectory analysis 3
weapons upgrade 3

and for good defense with the punisher, get these skills

hull upgrades 4
mechanic 4
repair systems 4

electronics 4
electronics upgrade 3
targeting 4

engineering 4
shield management 3
energy systems operation 3
energy grid upgrades 3
shield operation 4

navigation 3
afterburner 3
warp drive operation 3

to make your skills learn faster, you should consider learning these skills first.

learning 4
iron will 4
instant recall 4
empathy 3
analytical mind 4
clarity 3
eidetic memory 4
spatial awareness 4

and to get better rewards in missions such as more isk for rewards, than learn these.

social 3
negotiation 3
connections 3
