You can mine with any ship, however you will not get a mining bonus unless you use all of:
- Mining faction ID and matching IFF
- Mining ship
- Shoot the rocks with a mining turret

Don't try to fill YOUR ship up - have someone else sitting nearby, target tham so that ore you shoot goes in THEIR cargo hold, and shoot rocks.
It's still rather boring, but if you're skype chatting or have TeamSpeak on so you can talk, at least you can do other things during the 15 minutes or so that it takes to fill up a 5K ship. (What's more fun is get a group of people - maybe 5 or 6, and you have a couple of shared miners. Then run a nice convoy of 5 or 6 full ore ships, with an escort or two - we've done that with our Bounty Hunter Shire Attack Squadron before. Makes for fun runs.)
