yeah i thought so but forsome reason my buddies amth was messing woth me
lil cargo break
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?
I was just about to try, what was wrong with it?
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?
is there any 4.0 minig sheets or was there not much change for stanton ?
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
thanks
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
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
a rank filter would be nice for missions but thats more a qol/nice to have thing
yeah and a location filter at minimum.
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...
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
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
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
yeah I thought that might be the case with Pyro stations, I guess staying alive docking is the challenge
I've not been shot down in my Vulture yet so there's hope!
same did come across someone elses bounty tho but they thankfully left me alone to scrape arrows and whatever was leftover 
yeah I know the workarounds, normally just waiting 1min or so before you call the elevator works too
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
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
And now the elevators broke so can't get back to refinery
If cig just finishes just one thing it should be elevators
i was mining hidanite on arberdee but i found out the harder way that it is too hot... what is the best heat protective suit for the job?
Pembroke suit is designed for hot places
you can buy it at any refinery
Didn't they remove the Pembroke suit from stores?
Because stupid decisions are in their nature
well, then Morozov is next as I can see
Yeah, the Novikov and Pembroke are in the loot table, but not in stores anymore.
thnks
wait it is nnot sold nnow?
ah ffs ;-;
alright
What Ship you have ?
Starlancer Max, was pretty much at capacity!
@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
Just wondering how far i get my Taurus, i have also ATLS, tbh.. that help a lot
Yeah I use the ATLS to move the boxes then the maxlift to place them
@native bluff made this time-lapse a while ago lol
Awesome video 🙂 that box sounds.. 🙂 hard work, no easy way out 😛
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
Yeah, just looking The Starlancer video and see whats kind of cargo area is... I dont have a lot Taurus Experience yet, but let see when i found limits on that..
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.
I just send pm to you 🙂
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?
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
Is RMC one of the best cargos to haul in a c2?
Also does anyone know if not being able to see the mining HUD in the MOLE pilot seat is a bug or feature?
Is anyone seated in the mining stations while you're in the pilot seat ?
Bug- well known and bitched about bug supposedly fixed in the upcoming patch
I've heard the ATLS is busted on the preview, is this still true?
I believe so
:C
-# spongebob boowomp sfx
4.0.1 ptu is where it's at
i knoww
im having so much fun though
i was doing hauling around pyro (suicide) and theres drake mules everywhere
Ptu the same but less buggy and you get 15 mil starting out
i think i managed to fit like 6
i know its good, but theres smth about the persistence for me
i love knowing that what i do will last yk?
Yeah ik what you mean
The ptu is a good way to try out ships there to see if they're good or not without spending your PU money
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
Are there any hauling missions in Pyro that are station to station??
Feel like all of these require landing on a planet/moon surface
Priority CFP missions
They will usually take you from the gateway to a station such as checkmate or starlight
I've only gotten them in ptu for now but you'll get them without rep
Maybe PTU only?
They will probably get brought to live when 4.0.1 is out of the ptu
So until now there aren't regular hauling missions from stations to stations from Red Wind?
Idk i haven't done a red wind haul before
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
Wanted to give the PYRO ones a try
I heard they pay more
Understandable, but no cant haul between stations in preview
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 are both headhunters and CFP outposts
And there's no way of knowing which locations belong to who as a new hauler?
There's no info anywhere?
I am not sure about high rep hauling ones
I am on the low rep ones
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
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
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
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
no wait times
"ok cool thatll be a quick trade route"
2 scu in stock instead of x amount it should have
"what"
also i have yet to have any luck hull c trading or maybe its just checkmate not wanting to accept my call request to cargo deck
Carrack pulling boxes on and off is annoying at 16scu lol. They barely fit the opening so are hard to stack
Can you not do 8 scu?
I could do smaller but I didn’t know till I bought them, and I don’t have enough auec to waste it. I was lucky that someone was nice when I asked for a couple thousand for a max lift lol
Any good spots in pyro to try? Or is Aaron’s halo/yela belt still the best?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i just did some halo mining to get used to the new ui since i havent gone mining since 3.12 i believe
i wanna try pyro for the new ores but idk where to go tbh
I don’t either, and don’t know what a stock mole is good for yet lol
stock mole is garbo
i got all my mining turrets setup just need to do comps at some point
Hey!!!! I beat the person who’s been packing the terminal. Only 4 more to sell lol
What’s the new meta for the mole?
If doing it solo, what’s the best of them lol
im running one helix and two hofstede lasers
I know the whole lecture of dumb to be solo but…
use the helix for the big rocks and then go two hofstede for the small stuff
Ah ok
last time i did mining "meta" was lancets
but that was years ago when refinerys came out
Ah lol 😂
i still miss watching prospectors rush to PO aftering mining quant to sell only to blowup on pad
It’s been a while since the first time I mined. Back then you could easily quant mine since you wouldn’t exclusively find rocks too big for one ship
yeah
I was actually really really good at it lol
i was as well
But not to po
but i liked to stand infront of the airlock panels to stop them from being used 
Lol 😂 Part of the reason the arc-l1 etc were better
that or levski was ok to sell at
Never went to levski lol.
My computer at the time wasn’t really good enough for a variety of reasons so I didn’t really stay in the game very long when I’d get in. I missed levski entirely and was focused on college at the time
we'll see levksi once nyx happens
will probably be way better as well
levski was in a really nice spot to get to aarons halo as well
Give me my 200k auec cig, I want to sell you my stims lol. 😛 stop taking so long to refresh
I’m above 1m now, but it’s driving me crazy that now it’s 2x16scu at a time, like really? Lol.
I don’t know that I want to stay up another 15 minutes for the next 100k credits lol
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.
Check the "Local Market Value" tab
I think CRU-L4 accepts all the sizes, it may be because there is no demand now.
Prospector not enought .c
Whats the highest mass you can mine as a solo MOLE miner?
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
That's decent already, and quite good for a first time
ore mining gives more, but requirements are higher
you need to refine(which cost some money), you need to wait for ore to be refined and then you need cargo ship for ore transfer
if anyone needs an extra pair of hand to mine on a mole i would be up for it tho
thnka
you could try #looking-for-session
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?
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
Gotta either find some mole bags or ask someone for theirs but ye you can upgrade the prospector storage space
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
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
it'll only.give the bags back if they repair/claim the ship afaik
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?
As far as I know yep
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?
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
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?
Yep, might have to pull the old bags off first if they don't fall out from shooting the rings
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
You will have to tow the salvage contract mole out of the armistice zone first,
you can go to salvage mole in your prospector
ya its a newer thing they added, but we find workarounds lol
But can't use tractor beam in AZ. They're right you'll need to push it out. Can bump it gently
ah, well
yes you can, but legal salvage missions are all in side armistice zones so you need to get the ship outside of the zone before you can remove parts with yuor tractor bean.
but we find work arounds lol
going on a little mining trip to Pyro, can you take spare bags with you and swap them when full?
Yesn't.
The way refinery works now, you can only sell ores or make refinery orders from a mining ship.
holy shit. what ship holds a prospector? 😮
Polaris
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
so kinda doable. cool, do I need to dupe bags or can you buy them?
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 
i assume the buy option your referring to are these?
appreciate the help 🙂
yeah that's them, nice, that the cargo deck?
yeah i think so
where is best to sell refinened materials, is it better to sell all one place or goto eacg place where u get most money?
Easier to sell all at once, especially with low volumes.
So it that at the TDD's?
But if you stacked a full C2 worth or refined ores, going to multiple places to maximize sales can be a good idea
ive been doing area 18. even though i hate the landing pads there with teh landing queues giving me like 2 seconds to land once it pops up :X
It won't make a huge difference anyway
Check prices and where to sell on !tradetools
One-stop-shop for everything trade related in Star Citizen: best trade routes, best mining spots, etc.
um. is that buyable ingame? lmao. looked at rsi $975.00 😮
nope not buyable in game yet. was new in game at IAE.
damn, of course not :X
I paid a lot less for mine with CCU game, still almost 400 bucks tho
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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)
is there ever a scenario where its better to sell the raw ore vs refining. these refining windows are long as heck lol
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
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
found my first group of rocks!
Am i able to get auto unload at TDD's?
well that's great my landing gear wont deploy LOL
this is something i havent tried yet. planetside mining. maybe i should try that. i just dont like the idea of the long trips from planet to refinery etc with low cargo availability :X
I noticed the large clusters when I was exploring, that's why I came back 🙂
i havent got that to work yet. i tried and it jsut says processing request forever and never does anything. so i manual load refined ore into the freight elevator.
Left the ship floating, hopefully it's OK lol
I tried Roc mining with the car/truck thing. wasn't bad. the thing that got on my nerves was the janky gathering of the Rock once you fracture a rock. i definitely like the prospector more.
they're dead rocks by the looks of it - that's a shame
awwww
best location in stanton to salvage with a vulture?
disappointing, 3 clusters of rocks none are mineable
tbh everywhere I go there's loads of panels
even though im mining i have panels popping up when im scanning in asteroid fields. so outside of any refinery maybe? idk. im no expert, been playin for just over a week but its a start lol
Just bought a Vulture, planning to hit some panels. Question is, to dual Abrade or not to Abrade at all?
yeah dual Abrades 100%
I was told that for panels that wastes material?
yeah a little but it's soo much faster and panels are abundant
Really? I couldn't find that many in Pyro
I found loads around terminus ring, just look for the 8k/10k/20k etc signals
I'm rich lol
Just wanted to make sure that the Prospector stored within the Polaris was accessible,. it was. All good 🙂
Wait, what?!
Inside and you can move cargo?
Anyone know why the unload function doesnt work i get "cargo removal failed"
Yes you're able to access the refinery facilities when both the Polaris and Prospector is stored (within the Polaris)
But can you store more than one? Otherwise, I'll still just use my single prospector.
I've seen two crammed in before
neat so you could pick people up in their prospectors if you own a polaris? cool
Tbh it was just to test the theory, I'm going to get extra bags and try swapping them out when full
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
CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE THE MISSION TAB STAY ON THE PAGE IT'S ON WHEN YOU CLICK ACCEPT, THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING THAT IVE NOTICED IN THIS GAME HAVING TO CLICK BACK OVER TO ACCEPT MORE MISSIONS EVERY TIME YOU SELECT ONE
Who are you asking? This isn't an official CIG discord. Better give that feedback on spectrum
well obviously not you
The CIG staff that use this discord mostly do so as a backer themselves so it's not really an appropriate place to give this kind of feedback
well, i left the feedback here.
annnnywaaaay @mild pumice did you buy any of the mole crates from the cargo shop? did they work?
No I didn't yet I went straight to Pyro to do some mining!
What is CIG's reasoning behind making starter ships for combat/hauling relatively cheap ($45-60) but make the starter ships for mining and salvaging closer to $200?? Why the bias against industrial professions? xD
Where in pyro can you sell weevil eggs? I have 170 scu just sitting around in gaslight cause it doesn't accept my crates, ranging from 1scu to 32scu crates
No location from what i've heard. you must go to Stanton
According to SC trade tools, Ruin Station. I'd take a few to check just in case you get shot down lol
I'll try ruin then cause apparently you crash when going to stanton, ty
what is worth trading now?
Quick question while mining i keep getting less than what the scan tells me (SCU wise) if you go into the overcharge bar does it delete some of the ores?
Also are the gadgets broken rn?
I believe it's based off of efficiency of the laser you're using
Its sc-trade.tools accurate at commodities prices? Or uexcorp its better for doing trade routes?
Both sites work together and share information, gotta use both and uh, trust the process
Where's the best place to mine quantanium
i think lyria? one of arccorps moons
I thought planetary/moon mining was broken
i havent checked this patch since i havent made enough for a ship
so far only mining i've done was gem mining
What's the best HDMS location for cargo? I have a C2
Check UEXcorp for commodity prices
Make sure you just buy a single small crate of smth cheap first to check that the freight elevator works before buying the hwole haul
You can give them to me 
so Im out scraping pannels and one of my scrapers on my Vulture wont turn on. Anyone got any ideas?
NM. Alt S seems to have fixed it. THought I tried that
Probably because you can make significantly more money significantly faster with any of the “starter” mining and salvaging ships than you can the starter ships
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
The vulture and prospector are also THE solo salvage and mining ship, compared to starters which are barely even passable for their respective game loops
Right now, I think you can make more money doing bunkers/bounty hunting than using the Vulture to be honest.
i think it means it sells in 8scus
those are prob outposts
amirite?
some outposts sells in 1 to 8scu containers
is there any way to retrieve ore pods from the freight elevator? I just wasted 40k on 4 and it ate them all lol

I wanted to be honest and not dupe them but alas the game forces our hand 😄
A good few duping in this game aren't abuses IMO, they're QoL.
There's so much painful things to deal with in this game already
so if you leave loose ore pods in the Polaris and store it they get eaten lol
Do they ? I wouldn't have expected that
yep I had 4 in my polaris hangar, I stored the polaris to get the propector out and they're gone

I'll see if they're stored at the station
Nope they're gone, along with the mining head I pulled off, I wonder if this is some dupe fix?
I think more of an issue with mining comps themselves
yeah most likley, I guess we need to wait for another mining refactor before this kind of gameplay can be useful
once we get the refining ships I guess
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
In order to use my Argo do I bring it up first, then put it on my ship?
yo. is trading worith it rn
i have a c1 as a package
and around 230 k to start out with
ATLS ? Yeah
Alrighty
Do I need to relog? I am looking in my ASOP terminal and I do not see the ATLS I just got
nvm. Apparently, I had to be in the hangar itself for it to appear
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
I love your name btw. Only cause I actually like the CostCO hotdogs
Costco hotdogs slap even though I've only had them about 3-4 times, their fries are pretty good too
Tried loading my ATLS on my Taurus elevator instead of the cargo platform. Yea, that almost ended badly
They have fries?
Yeah ATLS has a mind of its own in 4.x be careful with it, best to enter exit in your ship or outside of the elevator platform space
Not sure about everywhere but here they do
on the elevator platform it can decide to chew you up and spit you out for fun lol
What part of the world are you in?
Canada, specifically the land of potash and grain Saskatchewan
Ohhh
when buying commodoties from stations. do i have to run into the galleria every time or is there a faster way?
gotta run there everytime
Depends. Are you manual loading and planning on doing several runs from that station? You can buy several runs worth of cargo with station inventory as the destination. Then you just have to land in the hangar and call up the cargo on your freight elevator.
Well the several runs worth of cargo depends on your ships' cargo size, your available funds and whether or not the station has that much to sell to you.
neo - there is no spoon....
did you say abracadabra the first time?
server died shortly after lol.
Question, can i store ATLS on my ship? So confused to get ATLS first my hangar and after that Ship itself.. there is no way to get ATLS on, if ship is already my hangar?
Nope
Gotta take the ALTS first to load it in your ship
One day we may be able to spawn small vehicles on the freight elevator
Yeah, CIG talked about that stuff
I think we'll end up waiting for the garage module now, I don't see them adding vehicle retrieval to the freight elevators now
Every hangar should have an ATLS access point tbh, that would be nice and save you messing around
I want this. I want to plaster my hauler in adverts for commission
it would be neat to see adverts for in-game brands or orgs
any idea if the expanse is gonna have internal storage to haul the refined mats?
It will use a sack system, you can read more about it in the Q&A
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/18635-Q-A-MISC-Expanse
Roberts Space Industries is the official go-to website for all news about Star Citizen and Squadron 42. It also hosts the online store for game items and merch, as well as all the community tools used by our fans.
Of course subject to design changes, maybe it'll have some kind of buffer tbc.
I expect the Expanse to eat bags (or what's inside) and spit out cargo containers
I don't feel like eating bags and spitting out bags but with refined ores will work
My reclaimer got wiped, but did they fix the front elevator yet?
I think your assessment is accurate. I see it emptying and returning the ore bags in short order. I have an Expanse but since I also have the Arrastra too, I'm thinking the Expanse might be a duplicate now. I'll probably wait until one or the other shows up in game.
It seems they plan on releasing the Expanse first
I can see that. I'm still a little salty with the Galaxy fiasco, so the RSI train coming to a slow down was expected
My refinery plans are for the galaxy, I have the full set.
Arrastra 
ship refinery overrated 
quick question, Is there a way to equip all 3 mining modules on the prospector or is it bugged - the lazer shows only 1 space
amount of module slots depends on laser you have
for s1 it is 2 max with some mining heads
s2 can have all 3 modules
Many thanks sir, it has changed from old guides then
Is there a good current guide for mining?
Can someone help me where do I go to be able to load my refined mining materials onto my ship??
Contract: Advertise in X system/planet/sector for X minutes.
Payment: 30,000 auec
Y E S !
wouldn't be big payouts, but it would be nearly passive
I purchased a Prospector with the aUEC i made salvaging. I also upgraded the laser to a Helix I and grabbed a couple upgrade modules.
Any tips on finding Quantanium? I have tried searching the Aaron Halo, and found a single asteroid with it out of like 20 clusters. Is it supposed to be that rare, or can i find it more reliably another way
If you check the channel pins, there should be one for ore percentages for locations around Stanton. Not sure if its still up to date though
Its a good place to begin. Gracias
Note: Pyro's scrapyards are just as broken as Stanton's, if not worse
At least Seer's Canyon is
Certain areas are better than others. My suggestion is to base yourself out of Ruin station in orbit around Terminus, and mine the belt there.
You'll find some great rocks, including quant and taranite, which are the best two to mine right now.
Occasionally you'll find riccite or stileron but the bulk of what I make credits on are Taranite/Quant
So is there a way to make the nomad tractor easier to use? The turret just swings side-to-side too fast so it is really hard to control. Maybe there is a setting somewhere to make it more manageable, but I can't find it.
There's a button to switch control modes
I think it's G?
It will change from the VJoy to relative and give you more control
G? Ok, I'm writing that down. Thank you.
If it's not G just dig through your keybinds
Should be in one of the "turret" dropdowns
Ok, thank you. Now at least I know that I"m looking for control modes.
any idea best ore to mine with new prospector to get miney to get better lasrers and moduales and things
How do you use the cutter attachment on the multi tool?
Just scrapped A hull a walked away with 32 SCU of processed food ( 1x 16 box and 1x 8 box), 8 SCU of iron (1x 8 box), 1 SCU of gold, 1 SCU of scrap, 4 SCU of CM (4x 1 box), 3 SCU of RMC (3x 1 box) and 1 117 bulldog
41 total SCU
Any idea why a mining head module won't apply? I have nearly all of them on, replacing a Focus with a Focus III and when I click apply it says equiped but when I leave the screen and come back it defaults back to original Focus
I have a slot on the Helix II and I can remove Focus Module .. save.. and it has an empty spot... I can reapply the focus on the empty slot and it will work... but if I replace it with a Focus III or add it to the empty slot, it doesn't apply
I have had the same issue my fix was just brute force it till it accepted it
Speaking of bugs don’t you love paying 20k to scrap an ares only for it to despawn
Before you finish
panels, or random ships in Pyro's asteroids
Salvage mission outside CUR L5
Like this
I did get 5 RMC before it respawned so not too mad but still annoyed
Where is that at?
Pyro's a fruit tree, and boy is it all ripe for the taking
Asteroid clusters in Pyro can contain either panels or random ships floating about
provided you don't get ganked by a player or NPC, it's extremely lucrative
similarly, one of the best sell spots for RMC is in Pyro, check uexcorp.space for accurate data
Yeah I don’t want to deal with all that so I stay out of pyro but I should eventually go there
I meant tho where you selling it
I usually sell to some farm on celin
Terra Mills is good
I've been selling at Seer's Canyon on Vatra, one of Pyro V's moons
the ability to run away is a powerful one
there's no shame in just entering NAV mode and booking it
Oh I know lol but I just haven’t gotten around to going to pyro cuz dealing with the pirates and stuff doesn’t interest me at all
its not that bad
headhunter settlement O_O
just don't piss em off
yes
Is human food bars, food bars made of human or meant for human consumption
endgame, dudley and daughters, rod's fuel 'n supplies yeah lots of options
i tried to land there with a reclaimer once - no xl hangars
its probably the latter, but I think the former is funnier
rip
vulture >>>>
I mean it is pyro I would not put cannibalism past them tbh. Food is scarce
Damn looking at all the best places to sell my salvaged cargo and it wants me to run around Stanton
i look at that 11k price and shake my head
i come a time of plenty when RMC was worth so so much more
indeed
I’m surprised that grim hex won’t pay pyro RMC prices
But some random farm will
Unless that farm is connected grim hex

I heard there's a way to get friendly with both
By avoiding doing missions that have you kill the other
Haven't tested though
So you just team up to bully Xenothreat then?
Probably lol
yeah but i like doing high ranked cfp missions
it used to be like 23k...
still, 10-11k is respectable profits as a solo
very chill gameplay
Anyone able to help me with hauling missions? I have the rank of rookie and am currently ranking junior. But I can only see trainee missions, and cannot accept rookie missions from other players.
Might be able to get both to max rank, then juggle missions so neither goes down
I'm definitely gonna try this
It'll take a while I'm guessing
fellas are becoming the billionaires to manipulate both parties in the 2 party system
never thought id see politics in SC
And down goes the server with my vulture half full and already accepted another contract. Into the lost column 40K goes
It could be stored somewhere
Nope marked unknown
What is C2 Hercules in game price atm?
Awesome, thanks!
cstone my beloved
what ship should i grind for. since i have a c1 now. im looking for something that can do light combat with a main focus on cargo hauling/ trading
Uhhhh, C1 ?
im tryna find the next step. like a seuz mk2, taurus, corsair
just if there are any that are better than others
Taurus. Not very "light combat" tho, it's the ship with the highest pilot DPS and most popular PvE pick
With good cargo and everything you need
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.
how much can i make with 1 trade run with a C2 vs cat?
also what is the best route to run
u cant buy it ingame
any idea when youll be able to?
usually a few patches after release
usually 6-12 months after release onto pledge for them to put it in-game iirc
There are oddballs tho like the atls that I think a week or two later got added in the next patch
i really like it, but i dont want to spend money on it
Does the hull c work in 4.0?
Yeah but it gives those who bought the ship a grace period before they start fucking with it and then let everyone else deal with it too 
how much aUEC do yall think it gon cost?
Zeus ? 3-4 mils
More expensive than C1 but not so much
c1 also has half the cargo space
Up to 5.5 mils I'd say
And price isn't based just on cargo
That's now how prices are made
i know. but its a good price for me, since i love cargo hauling
how much can i make with 1 trade run with a C2 vs cat?
also what is the best route to run
whats initial investment?
Assuming the elevators are working 3 mil into gold for about 540k profit in a full c2, either way just make sure the elevators are working before feeding any money in
arent illegal ones better?
Illegal are better but you can't buy them like you used to, get em from bounty contracts
btw. what is the most profitable loop i can do with my c1
i see these 5mil/hour thumbnails on yt. but they seem risky
like eggs from pyro i mean
if u can still buy em, seen some do that
atm i have about 450k
and i have a c1. so whats the most profit per hour i can do without risking too much?
Unsure about eggs. But drug running is very lucrative in Pyro
Especially if you make the trek to Stanton's scrapyards
How much is that?
36scu of Atlasium
Hdms-edmond or hdms-operi to Bueno ravine, invest 233k
Highest route is probably shepherds nest to hdms-thedus with fresh food
how much do i earn from that?
27 SCU of E'Tam from Golden Riviera to any Stanton scrapyard will net you 100k per run
Should be about 345k looking at uexcorp Olivier
Yeah, the food runs rake in money for sure
I just plugged in your ship and half of what you said you had
https://uexcorp.space/trade/routes/?id_vehicle=179
Doesn't make sense that produce makes more money than drugs, but eh
how safe is pyro to do trading in?
most say max 140k
Shepherd's nest afaik is a hotspot for people waiting on the ground, seemed like that in ptu and I've seen some of it over the past few days where I've been able to play for more than a hour unbothered
Station to station trading is pretty safe tho
Actually I wonder if people would leave me alone to destroy abandoned ships there, theory to test sometimes for me
I doubt it but still worth a shot
Most scrapyards are surprisingly chill
what did you punch in to get the 345k profit
I've sold several hundred K worth of RMC without a bother
Just c1 spirit and 233k investment, nothing else
Lemme see if it'll work with landscape and if not I'll have to do ugly desktop mode since I'm not at my PC
Quick note; Shepherd's Rest is pirate central
The drug running, even though it takes much more time, is a lot safer ironically
Should be mostly safe, it's a outpost in the middle of nowhere that isn't selling something precious like drugs or gold
how long yould you estimate a loop of this would take
from hdms to bueno and return to start
I just checked and all they sell is dogshit iron so there's basically no reason to be there aside from selling 
so then just skip that part
still cant get the list to work
even with a taurus it says that the top is 118k
Do you perhaps have some other filter set?
I'd say maybe 1-2h depending on how fast you can load cargo and you QD drive speed if they reverted the change of flatlining all of them to same speed
Am I weird for running efficient QT drives?
My Vulture's got a Vulcan and my C1 has the stock Goliath(?) thanks to their efficiency
I need it since Pyro's so damn big
Nah not really weird, just means you take a bit longer to get places with less fuel spent 
Which, once again, I really need in the vulture. When I was running an Atlas, going cross-system would basically take a whole tank
I had a 100i for about the same reason, flying in atmo it used the Regen fuel very slowly (store page origin feature) but I've noticed it doesn't do that this patch
Ofc it was only my hydrogen fuel and not quantum stuff cause that'd be like pulling gold out of a person's body 
I had a 135c waaaay back in the day. Wonderful runabout, loved doing box missions
Never got it back after a wipe years ago
i think i have found a better alternative.
it pays less per trip. but per 20 minute loop. i get 113k in profit
Ooh?
i get to stay inside stanton
while remaining safe
just get 24scu x2 and 4scu x1
3 boxes loaded
Can anyone sell anything at New Babbage?
All they have in demand are Luminalia Gifts
Which commodities have the best margin right now?
I know medical supplies has a 25% margin, which is the best I've found so far
YOu want the best ROI or the most profit?
ROI
IMO once you get a hull C that's where the huge ROI comes in
That's what I'm saving for
Same!
I bought a C2 first, now Hull C mega loads
For that exact reason basically
invest 500k, make 500k, lol
Right now I have a starlancer and the best I've found is Medical supplies
Yeah the starlancer has those 1-2 stop loops like the C2 that really pump
Med supplies/XP/Nitrogen/Meth are some of the big ones I trade when doing that
If you go to Pyro you get some interesting options but XP still stays hot
More diamond and gold runs available
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
Now just like I assume you think, I don't think it's worth it most times for that extra 20% credits to take 80% more risk
Stanton is just as dangerous
More players hang out in Stanton, so there's more pirates AND more server instability
Is pyro more server stable?
Lately my greatest hazards have been flying near Crusader and arriving at Baijini Point due to server crashes.
Most of Stanton's servers have worse FPS
And yeah, arccorp and crusader have been rough apparently
So trading is kinda safer in pyro?
In my anecdotal experience, definitely. But specifically station to station avoiding certain locations, and no ground outposts.
You won't see more crashes or pirates anywhere but Yela
Shepherds and others are mostly just murderfestivals
Seer's is pretty chill
are golden riviera and rustville safe?
Are trawlers the best salvage lasers to put on the vulture? If so, should i replace both default lasers and make them trawlers?
nah abrades are best
trawler is wide beam but less efficent, abrade is nice middle ground between bigass trawler and pinhole size cinch module
Okay, i'll go buy another abrade then 🙂 thanks for the help
Also, whats the go to thing with salvage now? I know people use to just run around commiting insurance fraud on their own ships and scraping the paint, but what are people doing now?
e
mostly scraping panels or illegal salvage contracts you dont pay for
Nowhere's guaranteed to be safe in Pyro
they work everywhere else
I go to random asteroid fields in Pyro, and either scrape abandoned ships or panels
I've only had that issue once... Normal SC jank
for me its every time im at an outpost
just relogged. if i go back and it still isnt working. im gonna flip a shit
I mean, it is a preview
But elevators on planets have been buggy since basically forever
they just break over time with use it seems, most common used ones like for gold break down pretty quick
it always has been this way for me. even on 3.24
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.
I tried at Seer's Canyon once... One elevator was broken, but the other worked fine
I love the less populated parts of Pyro
the thing is. im tryna do trades
Try another elevator at the same outpost maybe?
did
I think most of the optimal trades are actually station to station at the moment. Usually drug deals from Pyro stations.
Nah, you get like Altruciatoxin at Gaslight and deliver to Rat's Nest or whatnot.
Ah, true
I should melt my C1 for a Cutty, get into the Pyro vibes
Yeah, less cargo space, but it's Drake
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.
Did you change regions? If you relog to the same region you're 75% likely to rejoin the same server.
As you mentioned Best = EU for you, so you should try US or AUS and then you may actually get a working elevator.
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.
how do yo buy cargo at outposts
finally got one that works
i checked all the little houses
im at woodruff
server keeps crashing. and i cant switch back to eu
just not allowed to
Some have a little room with a guy standing at a counter. You'll see a console where you can buy materials and they can be pulled up the cargo elevator
You need to stay on your server until server error finishes before relogging to switch regions.
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).
are all rocks on Planets bugged and is there a fix to unbugging them so they can be Mined?
are you hand mining, ROC mining, or prospector mining? The size of the rock you're trying to break is in line with the size of the tool... you can fire at a medium rock all day long with the hand tool and get nowhere.
no i mean in the week after xmas all rocks mined with a prospector are bugged on planets there visible but cant scan them and u can fly thru them, wondering if ithis is fixed is a hotfix r theres a work around
just yesterday I tried hand-mining some rocks, but they weren't real and the laser just went through them, so I dont think its been fixed
YAY server error Decided that my Prospector full of 35scu of Bex was too good and Made is go Unknown , GOD i love this POS Game
Friend, it happened to my prospector with more than 16 SCU of bexalite ore. I decided to play when PTU goes to live. 😄
Im done AND Obviously the ship comes back missing all the Mole Bags i fitted and gives me back the original IM DONE CIG
Did you save your load out through VLM ?
After manually equipping the bags you have to store the ship, remove a component, save, reequip it and save again
yes but it probably bugged out
If your PC clock is out sync it won't properly save loadouts
Is there a bug with placing mining gadets on asteroids or am I special?
Cargo is delivered Port Tessler and its says Delivered 90/90.. but some how Contract dont end.. what i can do ? 🙂
I don't understand something. Why are my hauling contracts giving me so much cargo? I am told to transport 103 scus of Quartz, but I have like a billion Quartz containers now. wtf?
Same here. Bugged I assume
I heard planet mining is completely broken, stick to asteroids.
I said asteroid
Responding to Debiil.
I just figured that out lol sorry.
No worries.
Though I did do some successful mining in Pyro on planets.
I haven't tried the gadgets yet.
I did try a few mining test runs though, and discovered that with the server errors I lost the cargo 2/3rds of the time.
Cargo as in the gameplay loop for delivering refined cargos.
The bug tax is real
I have had really good luck solo salvaging and in group salvaging
Same. Just giving the Mole an old try to see how things are.
It's like when you order 3 tenders and they throw in a free one because it was leftover
Or like 7000 tonnes of completely useless crystals
That describes most flea markets IRL
Or like you ask for a sauce packet and they give you 50
O well, Submit button help problem,..solved..
Can the mole be run solo? OR is it more efficient to use something like the prospector?
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.
Now the actual profit highly depends on bugs
Just be careful never submit if it says 0/x even if you have delivered it
As long as it shows delivered it's safe, otherwise the submit button resets all your rep to 0 lol
Ok, thanks help! I have to look that next time. Some how this time that submit button help to end mission.
Yeah if it shows as delivered then it will pay you for what was delivered, so like you can use it of you were missing a box
Sometimes the freight elevator will eat the cargo, in that case submitting will cause the mission to fail and set you right back to ineligible!
What’s the best place to sell salvage cargo?
Also where do I get upgrades for my vulture at the same time
Hi guys i need your light related to hauling mission bugs.
Someone stated once there was a workaround to « hauling missions not completing after delivery ».
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)
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
If you're talking about multiple missions to the one destination I have only done this a couple of times. I really don't think the risk of going back to zero rep is worth it.
However when I have done it I deliver and complete each contract one at a time and in the order I accepted them. That so far has worked for me.
These deliveries fail when stacking 6-7 missions between two points, say Baijini and Area 18
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
what salvage heads should I be using on the vulture and where are they located?
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.
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
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
that worked, Thank you!
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.
Yeah, physical component swapping is jank
Even in the Mobi, if you swap out your quantum drive, make sure to unequip your jump module first, then re-equip it after
something like the powerplant . Some ppl say doing this with a weapons works as well
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)
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?
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
Hey could you check which bags are on your prospector once you reclaimed it?
yeah, mid server error in orison atm, was gonna tag ya with my results. lol
sorry, my game quit to desktop and now it keeps crashing to desktop on trying to enter ptu, so im pretty much done for the night i think. im giving it another shot. but not lookin great.
Well thank you for trying
dunno if you're still around. but after claiming, my prospector once again had MISC bags on it. so i gotta refit as well.
is there any specific mining head/modifier yall recommend for prospector mining?
Sorry I was making food. Thanks for letting me know.
Try helix 1 with reiger c3 and focus 3
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
anyone else get annoyed by all the extra small boxes on these missions!
they'll go in the front it's just annoying lol
Yes. I hate the tiny boxes in my hauling missions.
Thats why im switching to trading
Cuz i can choose the sizes
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!
that's art that is lol (163k) took around 40 mins
Where is a good Spot to salvage Panels and Stuff?
Yela
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
Ok Thank you
Good number of small patches spawn around the Lagrange stations in Stanton. Good for vulturing
Hmmm yes definitely not a pirate looking for vultures
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
No im not a pirate. But thanks for the advice
My brother in Chris, your pfp is a skull and crossed swords, we're all assuming you're a pirate lol
YES, that's the only time I use ATLS, trash box cleanup!!
The risk sucks for real cargo but once it's all tungsten, quartz etc, yolo
Killing the pilot is just a part of forcibly pirating a cargo
Same I keep one in my personal hangar for moving boxes but I don't take it with me anymore
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
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
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
There's already leaked text for atls functionality on ship tractor beams
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..
I dunno why people keep dying to the ATLS. I've never had it kill me and I use it pretty much daily. Sometimes it bugs out and bounces around, but as long as I hold the forward input I just take a small % of damage.
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.
I know. It's just very tricky to do so if your target is a Vulture
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
Yep, no reasons we can't use a joystick hat up.or down, like on an actual real life machine
That's a "lucky you" thing
I get those too
Like that, how cranes control cables
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
Why's the atlas have arms anyway when there's a tractor beam? It's not actually picking anything up
I suspect it's partially a server performance related thing as much as atls thing
Rule of cool? Maybe more customization down the line
Cuz mech, duh
Definitely cool
.maybe intent is to allow it to manually pick up stuff also
Or combat version of course
Punch some aliens
does cargo hauling in pyro pay more than in stanton?
nope the same
i hear the pyro salvage stuff pays well
so gonna get some credits so i can get those missions
Don't do salvage contracts
Go to asteroid clusters or abandoned facilities and scrape panels
yeah youll get around 8 scu of rmc from the panels pretty quick
I got 11 from an 8K scan, using abrades
like 11 panels?
oh you mean rmc
yeah im not that lucky
It was a big one for sure
Yes, the big salvage missions can be full of drugs
Normally I go for the 4 or 6Ks
It does, but not from the RMC, lol
I'm guessing you already know that though
RMC pays fine
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
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
Never been there, been living out of the Stanton Gateway
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
The biggest issue with it is it's... Far from most good places in Pyro
That's the whole point.
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
Oh wait you mean Starlight? I was referring to the gateway lol
Oh lol, my bad, in my own thoughts!
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
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?
sofar hadn't have the chance to try it on someone who needs fuel
Yes, unfortunately to unlock the pyro bounties and fun I wanted, I had to live at Grim for a while and push my bounty rep to max.
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.
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
Replace the salvage heads with Abrade heads, and upgrade your QT drive to either an Atlas for speed or a Vulcan for fuel efficiency
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
@fleet flicker
can you get those in pyro?
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
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
On a different note
Made my first honest million today!
feels goooood
yeah nice i just hit 41 scu
its so slow with the vulture though, my got i want a reclaimer
anyone currently doing salvage and want another crew member/vulture? tryna make some money
Try in #looking-for-session instead 👍
are there no direct hauling missions at member rank?
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?
Yep, vulture
All solo, panels scraped in Pyro's asteroids
- a random dead NPC cutlass
It's not that slow?
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
thanks to a helpful tip by @grave grove here found this, they couldn't link it in #market-street so im putting it here

oh yeah and this extra comment in case it just looks like it copy-pastes the contracts 
@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
you tried to pick-release-pick thing?
Sorry, can you be more descriptive? LIke Pick up, drop, pick up?
like you try to pick box from the grid -> it does not snap -> you release tractor beam and pick it once more
at least that worked back in a days when I tried herc and atls
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
This was the change they made in 3.24.3 where the ATLS was difficult to use for precision placement, so it doesn't pick up and snap after a container gets locked to the ship grid. You have to move it off grid and then release/re-grab.
Weird, I could swear using it with my starlancer was NBD in that way this patch
Luckily it's minor inconvenience to break the herc's grid
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Upside, 9 missions was like 1/4 of this rep stage
I run a maxlift for loading 32's in it and find it overall smoother/as fast as the ATLS. Mostly due to those reasons
In PTU it does seem to sit better
I'm in Hull C Gang now though, it's worked flawlessly.
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
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?
To some degree provided you ensure a fully repaired and functional ship before attempting any cargo transfer.
And the server doesn't crap itself during transfer
Yeah, I was careful but had flawless runs last night
good, is there any point in having a crew for that? other then the company of course
No
I have involved one in piracy/drug running a bit, and then it pays to have one person on the tractor station
thats too bad, its a big ship to solo all the time
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
Anyone able to confirm a shop that has the Novikov on display?
You mean at the terminal?
No, on display.
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 🤔
