The thing is even though mining makes more money in one trip it is much slower that trading so when a rorqual mines for 9 minutes and and earned 9k a prepravaka takes 3 trips between starbases it has already make more than 9k in less than 9 minutes. So thats why trading is more profitable than mining but is also more dangerous.
