There's a chart floating around somewhere

Damn where did you find that?

did they fix mining in the last days ?

is there any way to rotate panels on a reclaimer tractor beam?

cant mine any ores, dont get hud or even see the stats of the ores

#

was the prob

Damn, hope it’s fine

#

When roc mining in 3.24 do you have to transfer all the gems to a box or can you just sell it by selecting that inventory in a station selling area?

weak tinsel
#

is there any 4.0 minig sheets or was there not much change for stanton ?

coarse ember
#

No 4.0 mining sheets, Monster can't make one cause they moved all that data server side instead of keeping it client side in like .23 or .24 but tbh outside of the addition of some pyro stuff it pretty much hasn't changed

weak tinsel
#

thanks

sonic fiber
#

Found a lot of rocks on planets that don't work. And tons of animal returns instead of rocks

#

In pyro

#

Space mining seems ok

mild pumice
#

finally hit experience hauling rank only to find 80% of the missions are hidden LOL

#

Hope they fix that soon (I know it's still broken in the current PTU)

#

badly need some kind of filter system for these

coarse ember
#

a rank filter would be nice for missions but thats more a qol/nice to have thing

mild pumice
#

yeah and a location filter at minimum.

mild pumice
#

that was fun - wrist is dead 😄

#

I think I need to get a loader to help out

sonic fiber
#

Mining needs work. Can only deliver refined to ship, not station?

#

Then I have to unload from ship to store it

#

In station

#

And then I got kicked from hangar while moving boxes, for trespassing in my own hangar

#

And now I'm stuck on repositioning player...

mild pumice
#

yeah they need to update refining to the new cargo mechanics, another thing that got left behind with the tech changes.

#

I just bought a prospector, going to try some mining in Pyro. First time I called it the hangar ate it so had to claim before I've even flown it LOL

sonic fiber
#

Well the good news is once you deliver it to your ship and then unload it from your ship into the station you can sell it at the station

coarse ember
#

ye call a sacrifice ship with the same hangar size so it gives you a hangar then call your ship up from in the hangar and it wont eat it

mild pumice
#

I've not been shot down in my Vulture yet so there's hope!

coarse ember
#

same did come across someone elses bounty tho but they thankfully left me alone to scrape arrows and whatever was leftover sippy

mild pumice
sonic fiber
#

I've been fine so far. You just don't hang around

#

But I also haven't risked anything major

#

So far I've just been doing test runs

mild pumice
#

I'll just be mining whatever I find, not too fussed about what I pick up as long as it's not absolute garbage lol

sonic fiber
#

And now the elevators broke so can't get back to refinery

#

If cig just finishes just one thing it should be elevators

Hi does the mole still get mining mode in the pilot seat

#

not seeing the HUD

native bluff

#

@native bluff oh sorry that mission was in my Caterpillar

#

I did one before it in the Starlancer, was 250scu ish

#

I have the Cat as a loaner for my Ironchad

native bluff
mild pumice
#

Yeah I use the ATLS to move the boxes then the maxlift to place them

native bluff
mild pumice
#

Yeah you get the occasional stuck box lol. The Starlancer is a pain to unload if you fill it as the boxes get stuck

#

The Caterpillar has a bug now too where once you've placed a box you can't pick it back up from the outside, you need to push them out from the catwalk

native bluff
mild pumice
#

Taurus should be perfect for the medium missions up to member rank.

#

Experience unlocks the medium/large, they need a Caterpillar/C2 and there's Hull C loads in the 1000s too.

native bluff
naive vine
#

Is the higher hauler missions actually worth the time?

#

i have a C2 but is the money worth the time it takes to load and unload?

mild pumice
#

Yes and no tbh, the bigger box sizes are quicker to move than all the 8s but they are bulky so depends on how efficient you are. They still don't really beat the rewards from the local small hauls tho.

One that does pay well is the 3000+ Hull C mission, if it works it's 700k for going from Terra to Magnus Gateway and if you don't hit issues should take <30 mins

ornate ledge
#

Is RMC one of the best cargos to haul in a c2?

naive vine
#

Also does anyone know if not being able to see the mining HUD in the MOLE pilot seat is a bug or feature?

melted my MPUV, Cutter and ATLS for a C1 with a nice paint

#

Melting that mpuv and atls was definitely the best choice

Cutter you probably should've kept as a second ship

my current fleet is the Vulture, C1, Buccaneer, and Caterpillar as a loaner for the Ironclad

i don't really need a runabout rn

silver nova
#

Are there any hauling missions in Pyro that are station to station??

#

Feel like all of these require landing on a planet/moon surface

They will usually take you from the gateway to a station such as checkmate or starlight

What rep do I need?

Don't do the missions in pyro tbh not worth the risk, just do them in stanton between stations and distribution centres, you can get 200k from a single haul doing them

Anyone having issues scanning rocks on moons? I can ping out and find them, but the scanner wont scan. Its been working for the last few days that Ive been mining, but today its just not working.

I'm confused as fuck right now... Can I not have rep with CFP and do hauling missions in PYRO? Seems like all the hauling delivery locations are HEADHUNTERS and the turrets shoot at me..
And is there any benefit to going with CFP??

There's no info anywhere?

I am not sure about high rep hauling ones

I am on the low rep ones

You can look on map who owns the place

Or in whose jurisdiction it is

#

Awesome thank you man

#

So then I just need to pick my contracts carefully I guess...

scarlet thistle
#

Ye propably

#

Or you coud do them before geting hostile status from one of the 2

#

But I ques it is to late for that now xd

silver nova
#

I already am hostile with HH

#

Is there not a way to be neutral with both

scarlet thistle
#

I know you can switch the side but i dont think you can go back to neutral

#

But maybe someone knows how to do it

leaden reef
#

do the missions that let you switch factions and then let the one you're hostile to decay over time by NOT killing their members

fickle dune

does anyone know where the exit seat button is on a mole pilot seat/

I can’t wait till cig implements quantum economy lol. A dozen players spam selling trade items shouldn’t make it impossible to sell, just make the sell price less than if the market wasn’t flooded lol. Really annoying to be told by uex “yeah, that’s a cool non-flooded route” and then be told “just kidding” lol

i still miss watching prospectors rush to PO aftering mining quant to sell only to blowup on pad

#

Is there a way to tell what sizes a station accepts BEFORE I trade?

#

I got size 2 because I was sure they would take that size.

#

but I arrive and offoad, and it tells me they don't accept that size.

vale vortex
#

I think CRU-L4 accepts all the sizes, it may be because there is no demand now.

Whats the highest mass you can mine as a solo MOLE miner?

naive vine
#

With a helix 2 and 2 C3's and a stampeed i can hardly mine anything

i got a question
what is better mining? ores or crystals
cuz i spent like an hour on aberdeen for 546 hadanite crystals and it was around 220k only

What's best laser setup for a prospector for a mostly solo player? Right now I'm mining stuff around wide forest station. People keep telling me to go to Aaron's halo or something but I can't find that place lol

#

And is there a way to upgrade prospector storage sizes?

coarse ember
#

It's a more hidden place
Between Hurston and arc corp drop out 13.5Gm from arccorps or 9.5gm from Hurston if you're coming from arccorp and you'll drop out in Aaron's halo just not the densest part of it iirc

coarse ember
#

Don't buy em and try to call them up on elevator, they bug out this the suggestion of finding one with bags still attached or just asking around

cerulean dagger
#

If someone gives me their mole bags. Do they come back for the other player after they store/call their ship back? I have a buddy who has a mole and if the bags comeback that might be viable lol

coarse ember
#

it'll only.give the bags back if they repair/claim the ship afaik

cerulean dagger
#

Ahh okay but they do come back. Interesting. And the bags they give me they stay with me unless I have have to claim the ship for some reason too?

coarse ember
#

As far as I know yep

cerulean dagger
#

Do I apply them the same way I did the helix laser? Helix laser was in my freight elevator and I went to mobiglass > vehicle > select and apply?

coarse ember
#

Nah it's a bit more involved, you have to swap em manually

Iirc shoot rings off the prospector ore bag holders yank the bags down and out them do the opposite putting on the mole bags and repair at the end so the ore bag holders hold the bags tight

cerulean dagger
#

Okay so shoot the bags off by shooting rings and then what, tractor beam the mole bag in place where the old bags use to be?

coarse ember
#

Yep, might have to pull the old bags off first if they don't fall out from shooting the rings

cerulean dagger
#

Can you confirm if this still works in 4.0? Scoured Google and I see people saying their prospector returns bagless after storing and such

coarse ember
#

dont have a prospector or mole to try it with, only place i got a mining ship is 3.24.3 where nothing is moving over

delicate phoenix
#

Anyone know if you can buy the readygrip tractor beam in game? I want to put one back on my Vulture but I've misplaced the original

coarse ember
#

doesnt seem so, you might be able to find it opening your mobi > assets and then looking through each spots inventory til you find the one that has the module

delicate phoenix
#

Yeah I thought of that too but the asset thing is bugged and I can't get past the first page of locations lol. Thanks though!

are there things that are kinda worthless to trade in 4.0?

My ReadyGrip tractor beam has disappeared as well. Along with other ship components that should be in my inventory.

ashen oyster
# cerulean dagger Can you confirm if this still works in 4.0? Scoured Google and I see people sayi...

I currently have Mole Bags on my prospector and they are there after claiming my ship.

My steps it installation:
1 . Have someone who is willing to give you MOLE bags
2. Call up my prospector in my hangar, Enter ship and power it up and R-ALT + K to unlock the stations.
3. Exit ship and remove the 4 prospector bags and place them to the side,.
4. Shoot off the rings that are around where the bags were, it took me 1.5 mags with a rifle for each of the rings ( there are 2 rings)
5. Go meet up with the Mole outside of armistice zone, park close to each other so the transfer will be quick.
6. Have Mole friend unlock their ports by R-ALT + K
7. use tractor beam to remove 4 of the Mole bags and place them on the prospector.
8. Land in my hangar and store the prospector.
9. Open up vehicle loadout manager in the mobiglass
10. remove a cooler and click on "save changes and equip" button.
11. install same cooler you removed and click on "save changes and equip" button again.

Now your prospector should respawn with mole bags when ever you need to claim your ship.

With the current state of repair if you have damaged mole bags on your ship and you repair they will get replaced with prospector bags, Not a problem just don't make any changes to your vehicle loadout and or else it will have your ship file updated back to prospector bags. If you find your self in that situation where you repaired and now have prospectors bags, you can take it out and self destruct it, fly it into the ground or leave it in your hangar and fly to a different station with a different ship and submit a claim at the new station to get a new one.

spare cloud
#

You can do that alone with a MOLE from salvage contracts.
Or using a rented MOLE but you'll have to soft kill it iirc, since load out is locked

#

going on a little mining trip to Pyro, can you take spare bags with you and swap them when full?

spare cloud
#

Yesn't.
The way refinery works now, you can only sell ores or make refinery orders from a mining ship.

cerulean dagger
mild pumice
spare cloud
#

Bags are full, you swap them, you fill an other set of bags, now to the refinery.
You make the order, now equipped bags are empty, and you swap them for the full ones, make order again.

#

But you can't do it from the bags stored in the Polaris directly or by sending them down the freight elevator

mild pumice
spare cloud
#

You can buy them, but they're bugged with freight elevators, so it can be hard to get any that way

#

Easier and cheaper to dupe yeah

i assume the buy option your referring to are these?

any other ships capable of carrying the prospector? these small 32 SCU loads are fine just i fill up so damn quick lol

#

i could work towards a Mole i guess, but that doesn't look very solo friendly

#

right now my current goal is to save up 19* mill to get The C2 Hercules atleast to make my refinery runs to TDD larger :X but. that's a hell of a long way off lol

mild pumice
#

Not yet the Polaris is the only one big enough. Later there will be refining ships and base building so you'll be able to stash ore, etc or refine yourself.

cerulean dagger
#

oooo

#

that sounds nice 😮

#

so far, the mining game loop is kinda my favorite. hauling was okay to start, but moving boxes 1 by 1 got a lil too tedious. even though i'm doing the same thing with ore boxes to sell, just not as often lol

mild pumice
#

There's a small refinery ship planned by misc called the expanse (about the same price as the prospector, in concept) and the RSI Galaxy will have a refinery module.

cerulean dagger
#

i know i've heard for 2025 they are focusing on stability. but the "in concept/planned" ships. is there a typical release window for new ships and such?

mild pumice
#

nah best to check for updates on inside star citizen and watch events like fleet week, IAE and citizen con

#

some ships we have waited over 10 years already

cerulean dagger
#

ouch okay got it 😄 i did successfully complete arena commander, so wondering if the catapillar is worth it for these ore runs. might save for when that comes up available again lol.

mild pumice
#

They do update the roadmap so you get an idea of what's in development and occasionally give a release window (like they said Polaris was going to be last IAE)

cerulean dagger
#

is there ever a scenario where its better to sell the raw ore vs refining. these refining windows are long as heck lol

mild pumice
#

if you just have low value stuff it's generally not worth paying to refine it but the higher value stuff for sure

#

but tbh I'm a mining novice - I bnot really done much since the Lyria days of getting the quant rocks

cerulean dagger
#

maybe thats my issue. I need to be pickier about what i mine... because i keep coming across "impossible" rocks - i end up just mining what i can and refining it all lol

#

i mean, i made about 300k last night, so not mad. but probably better if i was picky about what i mined

First experiment getting empty bags onto a ship not a prospector/mole. last I tried it (3.24.X), you couldnt get them through a door- there was an invisible force field preventing them from entering.

My plan is to take them off in the Polaris bay, dump prospector, claim

So they should already be safely in the Polaris hangar for me. I could also just equip the new ones if I buy them in the VLM

You can make a decent amount of money doing bunker missions with a titan, but you can make a LOT more with a vulture in the same time frame

# mild pumice is there any way to retrieve ore pods from the freight elevator? I just wasted ...

One way i saw was someone bought enough 2scu containers to fill up the first 2 levels of the freight elevator and then brought 1 pod up at a time with the full load of 2scu containers. I would in all honesty due to the elevator issue just take them off a friends mole and have them claim it, until they fix the issue so much money has been wasted on people trying to buy them correctly it balances out lol

Yeah there's some small "got ya" things like that, namely with ship hangar sizes (only shows supported ships for that size or below unless you get a larger hangar as intended) and ground vehicles like roc or gravlevs will only show up in your hangar terminal only and not public asop

I think ground garages are a exception, if there's a public ground vehicle terminal they'll show there too

Definitely Taurus for cargo space and solo dps. Flew with a friend in his Zeus CL, cargo space is good but tricky. But if you have someone in the gun turret it will shred another ship paired with the pilot's guns.

Diamond and gold have pretty bad margins compared to med supplies and XP

Yes, but greater profit

My only complaint about diamond is it's only sold in 16's

Not so bad for the herc but a big PITA with the starlancer max

Best margin you will get for gold is 32%. And that is a pyro to stanton route

Profit isn't about % only, it's about the value of the material you're running

I'm talking raw AUEC made per trip, that's profit

You're talking about ROI

CIG has intentionally made it so that no matter which ship you're in, you'll make more money if you take on greater risk

coarse ember
#

they just break over time with use it seems, most common used ones like for gold break down pretty quick

austere canyon
tall karma
# austere canyon why do elevators on outposts just not work

Server specific. Someone had to load cargo and bug the elevator (pretty common) on that server for it to stop working. Recommend doing cargo missions in systems with Distribution Centers (MT/Hurston) because they have dedicated hangars for cargo pickup, and deliver to the station. This results in optimal loops - pickup multiple loads from one or more distribution centers, and deliver all of them to the local station without ever dealing with external cargo elevators.

peak snow
#

I tried at Seer's Canyon once... One elevator was broken, but the other worked fine

#

I love the less populated parts of Pyro

austere canyon
peak snow
austere canyon
#

did

tall karma
peak snow
#

I think it's outpost to station

#

Or outpost to Stanton scrapyard

tall karma
#

Nah, you get like Altruciatoxin at Gaslight and deliver to Rat's Nest or whatnot.

peak snow
#

Ah, true

#

I should melt my C1 for a Cutty, get into the Pyro vibes

#

Yeah, less cargo space, but it's Drake

tall karma
#

Reverse my trade route, its Rat's Nest -> Gaslight. Also, its usually better to go with optimal time investment. Trying to grab drugs in Pyro and deliver them to Stanton outposts is going to take you 3-4x as long as doing local system station to station for a marginal increase in payout.

#

However, for the person not looking to min-max and using cargo routes as a way to explore then going to the different outposts can be really fun. If you find one with a bugged elevator you can always try bedlogging to another region since the next server you join it may be fixed.

austere canyon
#

tried again after relogging

#

still bugged

tall karma
austere canyon
#

i changed from best to eu

#

since im in eu

#

just gonna do hauling instead

tall karma
#

Also, open console and type r_displayinfo 1, and you can see the shard you're joining, so you will know if you are rejoining the same shard in relogging.

#

The regions do change latency, but ultimately that will only matter if you're doing any combat since it will create some desync - shouldn't be noticeable for haulers.

# austere canyon how do yo buy cargo at outposts

For any mining station type outpost like HDMS in Hurston, you will see a building with an orange vertical banner and the word "Storage" above the door. Inside there is a kiosk where you can place cargo orders. Make sure to select the station and not your ship when you order the cargo, and make sure to pick a SCU box size that the station cargo elevator supports (many of them don't support 32SCU boxes for example).

Mole can be run solo, just prepare mentally for a lot of running around. The profit per hour was slightly better in 3.24 than prospector with normal bags, and worse than prospector with upgraded bags.

Apparently when stacking more than one hauling contract at once: if you track and untrack your missions in a precise order and proceed unloads also in a given sequence that would let you complete each order.

If anyone can confirm the above Id be grateful.
at the moment the game lets me load everything and let me do all the work but only pay one of the 3-4 contracts I stacked

#

(And I’d lose the reputation with uncompleted orders as well)

# crystal obsidian Hi guys i need your light related to **hauling mission** bugs. Someone stated o...

I’ve never had issues completing multiple hauling contracts at once, and honestly do it very regularly. You must keep a record of every SCU container per contract and organize based on what goes where before beginning your run. I can stack up to 6-7 contracts going to 4 different locations and able to complete every one of them without issue.

Main thing is logistics and knowing what SCU container goes to which contract/location

#

There is no workaround. You’re providing the wrong items at said locations.

#

I’m hoping they add labels to contracted containers showing which contract mission they belong too

Note to self, Abrade heads are much better than Trawler on the Vulture
got 11 scu from about as many panels tonight

#

11, i messed up my math xd

rose forge
#

what salvage heads should I be using on the vulture and where are they located?

peak snow
#

Abrade heads, they're pretty common. Use cstone.space to find locations

#

They've got a wider spread than the cinch heads, but are more efficient than trawlers

#

While we're talking about gear for the vulture though, I recommend an Atlas QT drive if you're in stanton, and a Vulcan if you're in Pyro.

#

Atlas is the fastest S1 QT drive, while the Vulcan gets you the most mileage

question for the beginner mining dude. Is there a trick to swaping bags between the mole and the prosepector? like ive got a mole, and i wanted to put them onto a prospector so i could go out and mine more... is that still a thing? and is there a trick to it? I've tried the the Multi-tool, but it keeps targeting the ship as a whole and not just the bags.

leaden monolith
#

Sounds like you need to unlock the ports so you can remove and add the bags. Think its LALT-K. If not try RALT-K

stray swan
#

also should mention: the prospector im trying to trick out with mole bags is the loaner you get due to mole issues atm? dunno if that makes a difference, but i'll try the unlocking ports thing

leaden monolith
#

Oh once you have the bags on the Prospector, store it, remove a component in the vehicle manager, save, then reverse the process. If you don't you are likely to lose the Mole bags you just put on.

peak snow
#

Yeah, physical component swapping is jank

stray swan
#

ahh, thanks for the heads up, i'll do that

#

any component? or one of the bags?

peak snow
#

Even in the Mobi, if you swap out your quantum drive, make sure to unequip your jump module first, then re-equip it after

leaden monolith
#

something like the powerplant . Some ppl say doing this with a weapons works as well

stray swan
#

ahh, ok.

#

thank you again

peak snow
#

I should try ROC mining at some point, apparently it's quite good in Pyro

#

I forgot which planet it is, but one of them has a lot of hadanite

#

(I don't know any of the minerals lol)

rancid epoch
#

So I changed my prospector bags for the argo and did the components swap as usual.But when my prospector got destroyed and reclaimed it it came back with the misc ore bags instead.Did it happened to someone else too?

stray swan
#

lol. finished swaping stuff. head to moon around hurston to do some mining, get nuked by an npc AS Soon as i hit an OM point. oh well. back to station to refit everything again

rancid epoch
stray swan
#

yeah, mid server error in orison atm, was gonna tag ya with my results. lol

is there any specific mining head/modifier yall recommend for prospector mining?

And if you are brave enough you could also try 1 helix with a surge and stampede. Might want to bring a couple gadgets incase you want more optimum green zone on some rocks.

#

thanks for the heads up. i'll get a variaty and play around withem. only ever done forced-labor hand mining, and some roc mining in like 3.29-3.20, usually im out running panels and such

mild pumice
#

anyone else get annoyed by all the extra small boxes on these missions!

#

they'll go in the front it's just annoying lol

austere canyon
#

Yes. I hate the tiny boxes in my hauling missions.

#

Thats why im switching to trading

#

Cuz i can choose the sizes

mild pumice
#

these should pay more for the loading time vs the smaller missions really, especially with how slow the tractor beams are now

#

The ATLS is too much of a risk at the moment!

austere canyon
#

True that

#

Or atleast give us the ability to carry more of the small ones

mild pumice
#

that's art that is lol (163k) took around 40 mins

kindred gust
#

Where is a good Spot to salvage Panels and Stuff?

craggy tapir
#

Yela

mild pumice
#

any asteroid zone has plenty but the main rings Yela/Terminus have more opportunity to find them just because they're a lager area. Also the Aaron Halo if you know how to get to it

#

I've spotted panels at the asteroid clusters in Pyro too but not the nicest place to be salvaging lol

kindred gust
#

Ok Thank you

crude thunder
#

Good number of small patches spawn around the Lagrange stations in Stanton. Good for vulturing

peak snow
#

If you're gonna pirate, I genuinely have advice for vultures. Don't.

#

Seriously, don't pirate a vulture. Let's say you're forced to soft death them

#

You can't shoot open the cockpit door, and the internal ladder is basically a death trap for any boarder. And if you trying to tractor beam the RMC out of the hold, the pilot will be able to hear you, and then either go through the back or side doors and give you a Coda to the cranium

kindred gust
#

No im not a pirate. But thanks for the advice

The risk sucks for real cargo but once it's all tungsten, quartz etc, yolo

mild pumice
#

Same I keep one in my personal hangar for moving boxes but I don't take it with me anymore

pastel flame
#

Ye too bug prone

#

After a cat or 2 though it's needed

mild pumice
#

I wish the maxlift was a tad faster to move the boxes but I've found switching to the small tool is quicker up to 8scu

#

The maxlift should be able to yeet smol boxes into orbit lol but I can see why they tuned them to have their own optinal sizes

#

They just made the maxlift a little bit too annoying

pastel flame
#

I am wondering when the first complaints start coming in about how terrible that endless scrolling is for your hand/wrist over hours per day of cargo. It's really fucking sickening.

#

How about giving each tractor a mod slot for a suregrip the way ATLS has, hold a button to activate it or scroll

#

Too much to ask of CIG

limpid sluice
#

Pretty sure there already were complaints when they nerfed tractors about CIG giving haulers arthritis

#

I do love having a mouse wheel with a free-spinning mode tho

leaden reef
#

There's already leaked text for atls functionality on ship tractor beams

pastel flame

Yes there is, sadly still not even on ptu

#

Cargo pilots begging every patch notes for qol, bug fixes, lol

#

My Cargo is stuck in Hangar, ghost hangar effect.. is there any way to get out that situation ? Ghost doors dont open..

tall karma
#

Think the lowest HP it got me to was 76%.

#

Maybe the trick is that I usually move my ATLS with a maxlift before I get into it because its kinda stuck in the hangar floor.

peak snow
#

I chat with a buncha pirates and they all hate boarding Vultures

#

Since, once again, you can't shoot the cockpit door open and the internal ladder is a death trap for boarders

#

It's not a thing people are doing to themselves, I maxlift it too. I've had each bug once in a lot of use. Once spontaneously flung across the hangar at 500 m/s

#

Didn't kill me but bugged me behind the cargo ele railing

sonic fiber
#

Why's the atlas have arms anyway when there's a tractor beam? It's not actually picking anything up

pastel flame
#

I suspect it's partially a server performance related thing as much as atls thing

pastel flame
peak snow
#

Cuz mech, duh

sonic fiber
#

Definitely cool
.maybe intent is to allow it to manually pick up stuff also

#

Or combat version of course

#

Punch some aliens

austere canyon
#

does cargo hauling in pyro pay more than in stanton?

fringe abyss
austere canyon
#

i hear the pyro salvage stuff pays well

#

so gonna get some credits so i can get those missions

#

Go to asteroid clusters or abandoned facilities and scrape panels

#

oh you mean rmc

#

yeah im not that lucky

peak snow
#

It was a big one for sure

pastel flame
#

Yes, the big salvage missions can be full of drugs

peak snow
#

Normally I go for the 4 or 6Ks

pastel flame
#

I'm guessing you already know that though

peak snow
#

RMC pays fine

pastel flame
#

Sure, just not in comparison to hulls full of maze

#

The high end pyro salvage missions are loaded with drugs

#

That is why they are hearing it's good money, not because it's the best RMC rate

peak snow
#

Fair enough lol

#

I just like my scraping

pastel flame
#

I enjoy it too, it's like powerwashing simulator mixed with The Expanse vibes.

#

I'm hoping Starlight gets fixed before 4.0.1 goes LIVE

#

By far my fav. salvage focused station

peak snow
#

Never been there, been living out of the Stanton Gateway

pastel flame
#

Actually not a bad place to base out of, a few friends have done that.

#

Starlight is cool, it's a CFP salvage focused station

End up using like a third of my QT tank to get to the good fields

I just go to the nearest asteroid field, super close.

Don't usually stop for less than 20k

peak snow
pastel flame
#

Yeah. At the same time though, it's close to both sides.

#

Plus, you get a little look at the current pulse/action around the gateway when starting your day, that's why I like Grim Hex, haha

peak snow
#

I've barely been in Stanton this whole time in the preview, Pyro servers are a lot more stable

#

Grim barely holds a candle to Pyro's splendor

#

Not to mention, the design team for Pyro caught a absolutely fucken RANCID vibe, and I love it

is the refueling stuff now working on more ships for the starfarer or still mainly for smaller craft, compared to 3.24?

Ahh fair

#

I was surprised by a pirate who snuck up behind me when I was scrapping panels, so now I equip stealth components, turn off the weapons and drop power to shields and coolers to one bar. Just a hole in the void. They have to be right on top of me to spot me. My CS is still 11k from the top on the slim chance they happen to approach from that direction.

peak snow
#

Damn

#

my friend just bought a vulture and he wants to salvage and make alot of money what does he need to upgrade from the stock vulture?

#

or does it not really matter

peak snow
#

Mind, if you're replacing the QT drive, unequip the jump module before swapping it out

#

Re-equip it after, it's a bug rn

pallid talon
#

@fleet flicker

peak snow
#

I'm unsure of exact locations. If you're in pyro, definitely go for the Vulcan as the jump distances are so much longer

#

Use cstone.space to find the items in game

austere canyon
#

where do i sell stolen stuff?
like stuff from salvage and like that
also components i harvested

grim hex, CRU-L4 NQA terminal

provided you're in stanton of course

#

there's also scrapyards, and loads of places in Pyro

anyone currently doing salvage and want another crew member/vulture? tryna make some money

For 2 weeks I've been trying to sell Construction Materials at New Babbage at the Admin terminal just to realise there is now a whole NEW TERMINAL instead of the old one

At least I got my 3.2 mil

#

does anyone know how many k money you can get max from one hauling mission if you got max rep?

peak snow
#

All solo, panels scraped in Pyro's asteroids

#
  • a random dead NPC cutlass
peak snow
#

It's not the fastest money but it's by far the most reliable

#

That 378k was like 1.5 nights of scraping, server issues stranded me on Baijini for most of one night.

#

Are you maybe using Trawler heads? They're not worth it on the Vulture, since you wanna maximise RMC specifically

#

Use Abrade heads, or, if you're a masochist, Cinch heads

#

They give the most RMC per panel

#

oh yeah and this extra comment in case it just looks like it copy-pastes the contracts sippy

pastel flame
#

@tall karma My ATLS won't snap anymore, it's stuck on scroll. Any suggestions

#

it's definitely related to my herc's cargo grid

#

If I pull stuff off grid it's fine

mighty orchid
pastel flame
mighty orchid
#

at least that worked back in a days when I tried herc and atls

pastel flame
#

Oh ya, good idea, but no. I ended up solving it by just sloughing them all to the side off grid

#

The herc is still broken I guess

tall karma
pastel flame
#

Luckily it's minor inconvenience to break the herc's grid

tall karma
#

I've not tried with a starlancer, but any Herc, connie, carrack, cat, and starlancer will block snapping until the container is off the grid.

pastel flame
#

Nah it's probably true across the board, I avoid the ATLS like the plague

#

I'm just doing 9 batches of covalex to get rep for the Hull C missions I want.

tall karma
#

It's actually a nice feature because it'll let you place boxes a little more precisely while organizing a ship, but only after you snap it somewhere 1st.

pastel flame
#

I get the idea, but would prefer just an option for snap or not on all tractors, ez

#

It bothers the meticulous side of my cargo regimen to bust a grid before I can efficiently move

tall karma
#

Heh, things get stuck in the herc a lot once it's 32scu boxes. I'd like them to fix the landing issue for the Herc too

pastel flame
#

Upside, 9 missions was like 1/4 of this rep stage

pastel flame
#

In PTU it does seem to sit better

#

I'm in Hull C Gang now though, it's worked flawlessly.

tall karma
#

Loading the herc without an atls (or unloading one) is my definition of bad game experience

#

But then my buddy who's into games like satisfactory and crap loves to play cargo tetris with a maxlift

#

Hopefully they don't decide to do a credits / ship wipe! It's entirely possible to reset people's abuse of bugs

pastel flame
#

I love satisfactory, but I also have a control setup where i'm not scrolling much.

#

Moving 20ish 32's onto that grid really isn't any kind of torture compared to filling a zeus with stacked rookie cargo missions, lol

#

Not that far

#

Thanks again though, totally makes sense and surprised I didn't notice it 🙂 breaking grid it is.

#

Is hull C working yet?

tall karma

And the server doesn't crap itself during transfer

pastel flame

Yeah, I was careful but had flawless runs last night

rain tinsel
#

good, is there any point in having a crew for that? other then the company of course

pastel flame
#

No

#

I have involved one in piracy/drug running a bit, and then it pays to have one person on the tractor station

rain tinsel
#

thats too bad, its a big ship to solo all the time

pastel flame
#

Yeah it's a whole different experience. Docking, driving it, loading up.

#

I am still hoping they will get the Mining Bags fixed on the Moles so we can just mine areas out and have haulers pick up the ore

sometimes I question the need for my Mole Carbon Edition

other then being a dedicated miner, I probably need it lol

Hey, is there a way to transfer minerals from the roc and to a storage box? Other than to split them and take them in turns by hand 🤔

Get the storage containers at the back of the ROC, next to its storage unit.

If you're quick enough, you can open both at once.
