The traveling factor! - Unlike mining lasers, drones must travel from and back to your ship before you get any dragonnest gold ore in your cargo. They will need 60 seconds to finish their cycle. Any traveling time to and from the asteroid isn't factored in the cycle time.

Simply put, Harvester Mining Drones are twice as slow as T2 Mining Drones, and yet, their base yield is only 20% better... and they cost 20 times as much as T2 Mining Drones! See section 8.2 for further details and explanations.

What Drones Do For You - Much like the yield of lasers, the yield of each drone is individually calculated and then the number of units of ore is truncated before transport to your cargo.

As we mentioned earlier, Mining Drone Operations 5 will increase your drones' yield by 25% and Drone Interfacing 5 by 100% . I also made it clear Harvester Mining Drones suck, so we will use T2 Mining Drones for our example: 25 * 1.25 * 2 = 62.5 m3/cycle

Using Omber again, it means 62.5/0.6 = 104.17 = 104 units of Omber/cycle (per drone)

Since you can control 5 drones at a time, which means your drones will bring in an extra 520 units of Omber per cycle, or 31 200 per hour. This however does not factor the traveling time we talked about earlier.
