[earnest crystal]

can i open catepillar doors while on the tractor beam ?

[mild cloud]

Melt my vulture and have a salvation and reclaimer as my salvage fleet?

[blissful flume]

So Tera gateway has a refine so I don't have to unload at grimhex anymore?

[next idol]

Yes

[drifting cave]

What's the best contract to farm hauling rep? Currently at Member and it seems there's no more direct contracts

[regal tide]

Mole still hasn't been fixed?

[crisp iron]

Mole still cooked yea, I'm doing hauling until it's back in order

[snow oasis]

Why both and no vulture?

[snow oasis]

I don’t believe so, unless the open all doors keybind works which I doubt

[earnest crystal]

it does not sadly

[mild cloud]

That's my plan, melt the vulture and have the salvation in one side and the reclaimer on the other

[next idol]

If anything the vulture its a very cheap ship so yoiu can just get it in game

ugh I want a paint for my reclaimer

but they have the weird purple ones that I dont like

[snow oasis]

yea I'm asking why?

[snow oasis]

I love the purple BIS paint for the spirit so much

such a nice purple

[crisp iron]

Man the RAFT is suchj a perfect little boat at its role. Ideal mid size hauler.

[royal spear]

did you bring some 8scu and 16scu boxes because it doesn't buy those

[snow oasis]

39 is all of it including the 16 scu boxes, but anyways I just went somewhere else

[royal spear]

yeah that's what I mean, that station does NOT buy 8 and 16 boxes. So it is just selling your 1, 2 and 4 scu boxes there for 59k

This is what the shop will buy

from your cargo only this was being sold as it matched what they were buying

[fluid sentinel]

With engineering being worked on do you think solo railen would be possible? Thinking of buying one

[spare cloud]

CIG themselves explicitly stated Hull E should be soloable. It all only matters on what you're doing with it and how prepared you wanna be for every possible happening.

Haulers are all soloable so long as you don't encounter any combat.

[fluid sentinel]

Ah ok sweet

[snow oasis]

Most non combat activities should remain soloable, combat poses the biggest engineering risk since things are actively being destroyed

[willow tiger]

Any gem miners in here? Wanted to know if it's still viable for raising funds. and if so, help please?

[mild pumice]

Roc mining on Pyro V moons is pretty chill and a full load was about 400k IIRC it's been a while though, I keep meaning to go back out. Only caveat is you have to sell in Stanton

Feynmaline is the one you want

[willow tiger]

Thanks mate, appreciate the help :)

[wet moat]

It could have bin more but i dont want to risk more QT to salvage claims because all the desktop crashes while QT

[amber reef]

hello, i have been advised to ask here, im a new player trying to find my way around, so far most of the things I attempt are ending in a failure, but most of the time i know what went wrong, with few exceptions that I would like to ask about:

I picked up few planetary hauling contracts to make some easy bank at the start from Red Wind faction in stanton system: go to that location, pick up cargo, delivered to another location - easy i thought 😄
but as soon as i approached the pickup location I got trespass warning and got shot at, I belive from some anti air defence system, tried few more mission from same faction, but different pickup locations, everywhere the same story, I was not even able to land anywhere near.

whats the deal with that? hauling missions are usulay the easiest ones, is it not the case in star citizen? Or maybe do i need some landing permits or rank up my relations with the owner faction of the pickup location? how should i approach those missions?

after failure of the planetary hauling I tried to do intersystem hauling - I had to pickup cargo from two different locations in Stanton system and deliver it to one location in Pyro system. I picked up all the cargo from both locations noproblem, jumped to Pyro, landed on the delivery location, put all the cargo on the freight elevator, transferred all to the warehouse. when i checked the mobi glass, only goods from first pickup location i visited were marked as "delivered", all goods from second pickup were marked that i still need to deliver, despite all of them beeing in the destination warehouse. I then i saw in mobiglas at the bottom an option to "submit" the contract, i clicked it thinking that it will then acknowledge all the goods, but to my surprise it concluded the contract and i didnt get paid 😄

I guess there was some error on my part with cargo elevator, is there some special method i have to be using in these type of missions?

[subtle valley]

alas star citizen is literally that meme of sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit

as for being shot at, you were probably not on positive terms with the faction - daft I know, but you can check the Rep tab in mobi to see your standings

for submission on the elevator, when you send it down it should tell you which missions it's accepting/completing? chances are it only did one of them and the cargo is in your inventory at that location and you may have been able to call it back up

[mild pumice]

all this time I have been using the ship tractor to overload the C1 when you can just duck under the boxes LOL

[novel rampart]

where can i sell recycled materials?

if i get an ore pod from a ship i salvaged, what can i do with it?

[wet moat]

I like to sell RMC at Terran Mills
It has an okish sized elavator and weapon restrictet zone

[novel rampart]

ah so i have rmc boxes in my vulture, do i need to put them on the freight elevator and lower it to be able to sell them?

what about the ore pod?

[wet moat]

yes put them on the elavator, lower it and than you can sell it in one of the buildings

The ore pods. i dont know how much they ere worth becaouse they are comming from a destroid ship. Maybe try to sell them at the shop of an refinere or at the shop of an Cargo center

[amber reef]

its been like that, i could see the cargo there. but what should have been my course of action in this case? i called it back up, and put it back down, but it also didnt count toward the mission, and after that i "submited" the contract in mobiglass which ended in in failure. should i have unload the elevator, load it again and then send it down?

[subtle valley]

honestly, pass - I've not had that one before 🙂 are you sure they were both to the same location?

[novel rampart]

which is the next best salvaging module? i have a crincher right nwo

[amber reef]

😄 im 99% sure 😄 could have been that last part of the delivery place had some different number at the end and i didnt notice

[wet moat]

Abrade
Alwayse use abrade

[amber reef]

ill try today again with similar mission and pay more attention 🙂

[novel rampart]

ah, ty, any suggestiosn where i get them? im on grim hex

[novel rampart]

how can i free up my salvaging aiming so i can move them without moving my ship?

[wet moat]

G

[novel rampart]

TY

if i looted ship guns off a cutty black

where can i sell them?

[hardy skiff]

This is what is currently being refined after my mining run.
I cant find a calculator to find how much I made.
Can someone point me to one please.

[wet moat]

dont bother looting these ships
As far es i know these guns sell for dirt cheap because they come from wracked ships

Save your space in the ship for your Recycled matieral.
You can but easy 38 SCU of that in the vulture

[wet moat]

https://regolith.rocks/market-price

[spare cloud]

Refineries numbers are in cSCU, for centi. Apply regular metric conversion.

[fickle kraken]

I cant repair soft dead ship and fly it, no?

[spare cloud]

You can repair soft dead ship if it's on a pad.

So in practice, no.

[fickle kraken]

Why do I even have it on the pad, its in the space. I mean with big srt gun

[spare cloud]

Yes, but no.

[hardy skiff]

so what is 2366 units? there is no way its 2366 scu.

[wet moat]

My vultur hat a soft death and after some time it went back online and i limbed back to levski

[fickle kraken]

For example, can I scrap the wing, and repair powerplant?

Boot up the plane and fly away?

[spare cloud]

There's only one way to repair a soft dead ship.

[hardy skiff]

so 2366 bexalite is 23. Thank you

[fickle kraken]

What is the point of repair gun and small repair tool ?

[spare cloud]

24, refineries round up.

[wet moat]

divite it by 100 because its cSCU.
c means the metric word for centi

24 Bexalite
30Torite
17Lindinium
1Agricium

[hardy skiff]

thank you!

[spare cloud]

Atm, repair when it's still alive but damaged. Full repair isn't implemented yet.

[fickle kraken]

I see, thanks.

Basically useless stuff

Because if I move, I can go repair at station

Why bother wasting half and hour wobbling that gun around the ship

[hardy skiff]

So around 300k for about an hour run.
Is this normal for solo mole mining, or do i suck?
This seems pretty low.

[fickle kraken]

Low, you can do 400k per hour on hauling

[wet moat]

With better Mininghead and modules you can get more

[hardy skiff]

so how the heck do people have 100m to throw around on gear..
Is there another gameplay loop that is like 10 times better for money?

[fickle kraken]

Concidering how many gazzilions of aUEC have some players. I think it is profitable to farm some items and sell them to some players

Some people are trillioners

And like in real life, by exploits

[hardy skiff]

So mole cost around 10m. If i get 400k an hour, thats 25 hours of mining to pay for it. Is this right? it cant be right........

[fickle kraken]

Yes

Well

No

You can do 400k per 30 minutes on hauling

[fickle kraken]

If you have less than that on mining, I doubt it's anywhere profitable

[pearl juniper]

what did I just do. sorry

[royal spear]

I get it, I'll shut up

[novel rampart]

i went and salvaged a bunch of stuff, it was pretty slow. i have the abrade heads.

any other suggestions?

i was doing the unverified missions, trying to get bigger ships

[royal spear]

To be honest the fastest scraping I've found for vulture has been panels in asteroid belt. I don't know why exactly but it definitely feels like the plates give far more rmc than scraping that size hull on most ships and are faster to scrape.

You can use this to calculate how to get into the Aaron Halo belt https://cstone.space/resources/knowledge-base/36-refinery-to-aaron-halo-mining-routes

[wet moat]

Personally a go to levski or CruL1 and farm the scrap Panel. On the astroids around the station

Those big panel have like 5scu for each. And fill your cargo way faster than any scrap ship.
After your ship is full fly to the station unload than fly back to the astroids.

After a some runs go and sell the boxes at Terran mills

[wet moat]

There’s really no need to fly all the way to the Aaron Halo.
The asteroids around stations like CruL1–L4 or Levski already have plenty of panels to salvage.

Last time I checked, there was even a bug where you could drain a panel completely, fly a few hundred meters away until it stopped rendering, and when you came back it would be fully replenished again.

[royal spear]

Yeah true, I just like the peace of the halo 😉 Also far less risky that someone will come screw with you. But yeah there are plenty closer to home. I didn't know about the bug, that's nuts if that's still the case.

[wet moat]

This bug came with 4.4 maybe they fixed it but i dont think so

[royal spear]

ah fair I've done 0 salvaging in 4.4 other than to test things

[next idol]

you can also scan for ships, just go to a mission and after you finish scan for ships (also press "T" as sometimes the ehips are near and get targeted), I'm lately findind big ships like perseus and yesterday I even found a polaris

[royal spear]

god please don't try to scrape a Polaris with a vulture xD

[next idol]

idk if you can do much more with big ships if you dont have a reclaimer tho

yeah

I was thinking that xD

I swear I tried to use vulture after using the reclaimer and I got anxiety because the boxes filled so slowly xD

I wonder if it will be too problematic the relciamer after the coming engineering update

idk where is the panel

I keep finding rooms that I wasnt aware of

[crisp iron]

I don't think so, my impression is that solo big boats are mostly impacted in combat. If you're doing industrial, it's more busywork but probably fine.

[next idol]

yeah, nothing like repairing the ship when you get into the hangar wont fix

also I changed all my pdcs for the new ballistic ones

[vapid ermine]

anyone doing some scraping ?

[wet moat]

both of my container outputs doesnt work in the Reclaimer even after storing and retriving and closing the game

Is there any workaround without destroing the ship

[gritty quiver]

Can anyone tell me if you get more rep from a higher payout mission than lower ones? I’m talking about hauling for red wind..

[glass dust]

Does Cru-L1 has exterior elevators?

[vale siren]

is the drug labs on hurston still a thing? i have done several merc missions on hurston (killing the dogs) but i have not got the hurston dynamics rep unlocked? Am i doing something wrong?

[willow tiger]

Those doing Gem mining (Perhaps Fitzie again) Is the Geo better than the Roc now? And is there any particular Pyro planet best for Gems? Thanks! o/

[plucky ridge]

Is there a way to look for a lost box on shipment? I took a contract for 9 scu… only 8 crates. Am I missing one or 8 = 9 somehow

Found it

[vale siren]

sometimes you get shorted a box. its a bug happen to me x2 times yesterday

[plucky ridge]

Ffs

[vale siren]

you can still do mission just have to submit it with only 8

[plucky ridge]

Payment get prorated?

[vale siren]

i honestly didnt pay it any attention on the payment side. i was grinding for rep

i was using the hercules and had several contracts going at once. but i had each contract seperated into sections on it

[wet moat]

Is this price only at ruin station?

[analog patrol]

It depends. Geo has such a tiny box and it fills so quickly. I prefer the roc just because I have to change it out less often.

[mild pumice]

Haven't checked elsewhere, well except Pyro Gateway where I couldn't sell at all

[wet moat]

Nyx gateway also prevents from selling

[drifting cave]

Are planetary or stellar contracts more efficient to grind hauling rep? I'm at Member and it feels like there's no more direct ones

[delicate girder]

Is data running a thing in SC now? With Herald / MSR for instance.

[next idol]

not yet

and idk if there is any info about it

[plucky ridge]

So got into the hauling world. Started to figure out “rotations” of finishing a mission then going to a next. Found a couple situations where I could pick up the same drop off location, but it seems to get a bit wonky on drop off. Maybe this was wonky because the drop off items were the same (carbon) for two different missions. Not sure if the boxes are tied on the backend with a mission ID but had some trouble. I was able to send down a bunch and then it would accept some and not others.

Just curious if anyone else has a best practice or just generally avoid dropping off the same item to the same location. For two different missions. Thanks!

[pearl juniper]

yeah, the boxes are mission specific, or at least they were the last time I did much hauling. I remember it being really annoying to have multiple drop offs for multiple missions if there was any common commodities between the missions.

[plucky ridge]

Helpful. I’ll try to be conscious of it. 🫡

[next idol]

that is so dumb

I think I had that problem sometimes but not in all missions

[mild pumice]

Not really, DHL driver might have 2 boxes with iPads in them but they still have to deliver them to the correct recipient

The game just needs a way to identify which box matches which mission.

[pearl juniper]

Yeah having them tied to the mission makes sense. Having no way to tell them apart sucks

[plucky ridge]

This. Just tag the box name to have a 6 digit ID that’s in the mission desc. That’s not rocket science coding. The already have lookups on the backend doing it, just bring it to the front and join/concat it. Smart person could probably do a half day of coding and fix the QOL there. lol. But I also appreciate there arent unlimited coding resources.

[royal spear]

Did people find an exploit or something? Why are there constantly people giving away hundreds of millions in global all through iae?

[plucky ridge]

Yes. You can get rep to a hammerhead kill mission. Get like 10 people in a squad. All 10 share all 10. You get the reward 10x as hammerhead is killed. Print money. Hyper inflation. lol

[royal spear]

oh wow

is that BH HH mission or Gilly?

coz I did Gilly's with friend yesterday and I think we shared the reward

[plucky ridge]

Vaughn mission rep grind

YouTube lookup that

By kabutopz

[next idol]

crazy

oh I didint know they changed the hauling crontracts

damn

crazy how they are fucking up all the game loops

[royal spear]

They aren't fucking them up, they regularly change game loops and alter rewards to drive people to activities and areas they want tested more.

People confuse this with a game rather than the paid alpha testing that it is ;P

[next idol]

so what are they moving to?

mining?

they launched a ship for salvage and they fucke up salvage

[royal spear]

I mean the salvation was just always in the plans as they want a starter ship for each "profession" but has nothing to do with any salvage changes

it can't even collect CMATs

I do think the salvage changes are a complete miss and fail to incentivise players to want to engage with it

Their focus now is probably nyx, fps and soon engineering

[next idol]

ywah but like, the focus its tghat, why you touch other 1000 other things

I sometimes wonder if any of them play the game

[plucky ridge]

It’s when you stop playing you stop caring.

[modern osprey]

playing pledging

[lofty drift]

are the mole's lasers still bespoke and is the reclaimer still backwards?

[mild cloud]

It can't?

[next idol]

wdym backwards xd

[lofty drift]

the refining got flipped from its intended 85%, to 15% it has been a known & acknowledged bug since 4.3.2

basically

you salvage 100scu

u get 15 scu

[agile holly]

is it still this way at the moment if you know?

[lofty drift]

well, there has been no patch or news about a reclaimer fix so

yes

[agile holly]

crap

rip reclaimer

[next idol]

ooh that yeah...

sad

[ocean tangle]

Are there any ships that can carry a prospector around that i can buy ingame

[jovial matrix]

I think the 890 is your only option

[ocean tangle]

I totally could just buy one, friend sent me 500 mil AEUC the other day

[next idol]

I also want auec

and a 890j xd

[delicate girder]

Where can you sell components you loot from ships these days? In cities I assume, but can you in space stations?

I like how components lock to the cargo grid now. That's new to me.

[modern osprey]

everywhere

except armistice zones

[fierce harness]

Am I really going to have to buy another mole just so I can go back to my favorite game loop. Fix the mole!! Please

[tender sleet]

what are master rank covelex missions paying this current update??

[royal spear]

We don't know if it's intended or not. All they said is that it was passed to the relevant team to look at. For all we know that team intended or to be this...

[royal spear]

Nope on RMC and to be fair with 6+6scu why would you even want to? :p

[fickle kraken]

It's broken?

[royal spear]

Unless they changed something in 4.4 is really not worth selling components and still ship weapons to shops.. you get a pittance. Like 100auec for them because they are so easy to dupe with insurance fraud

[royal spear]

Yep mole lasers not swappable atm

[fierce harness]

Yea as stated above you are unable to swap the mining lasers.. now that might not seem like a big deal bit it is... talking the difference between breaking idk 20k mass rocks and 40k solo.

[fast timber]

Is MOLE not fixed yet? :(

[hardy skiff]

This happens once in a while. Way to often..
After switching from scanning mode to mining mode, then back to scanning mode, the asteroid fields dont display.
Is there a hotkey or something im hitting and turning it off? How can i see the unknown text again?

[drifting cave]

The salvation can fracture, you just shouldn't because it can't eat something bigger than a freelancer and also 6 SCU buffer

[royal spear]

I was physically unable to switch to fracture mode..

[drifting cave]

Works on my machine, it's the first thing I tested when I got in my salvation

[royal spear]

Hmm ill try again.. could be I tried on the rental first and that was being silly..

[fast timber]

could you be turning off all the power to your radar?

just double check the power pips and see your radar has power

[lyric bough]

People are paying billions for pure carinite, is the mission still bugged? Also how on earth are people making billions ingame, the only gameloop to make that much is player trade afaik but they're buying not selling so wheres their money coming from?

[next idol]

If you mean currently, there is supposed to be a mission that you can share between a lot of people and you get a big payment.

[lyric bough]

You mean the mission profit doesnt divide equally?

Because yeah i can see orgs farming that

[next idol]

I don’t think it doesn’t divide equally but the problem is that it stacks and it shouldn’t

[lyric bough]

Oh. Surely it doesn't still make billions?

[next idol]

Yeah still you make money. It shows that the quest system it’s just very basic and very flawed

They need to remove it or just change how the sharing works.

[lyric bough]

Right but im still confused how people are in market chat asking for like 30 pure carinite at 1-2b each

[next idol]

Hmmm weird… i didn’t play that much lately so I don’t precisely know. But might probably be something similar that they should not be able to do so much money

[plucky ridge]

I have this same question. And assuming Nyx and pyro have better rates due to risks?

[unique ridge]

going to be hard to tell because not many people are going to be able to get to those rep levels in PTU

[plucky ridge]

Oh I meant in 4.4

[royal spear]

Based on the explanation someone gave me if you have 10 people doing the mission everyone gets 10x reward. So rather than splitting it's multiplying the reward for everyone? idk personally.

[willow monolith]

Are there any ships in game yet that can use salvage to repair hulls similar to how the handheld tool can? Sorry if it’s a stupid question I’ve been on a sabbatical since before pyro dropped

[spare cloud]

Nope

Vulcan one day maybe

[willow monolith]

RIP.. seems like relaxing gameplay

Thanks

[tall karma]

I also would not be surprised to see, yet another, ATLS chassis for this purpose. I would really prefer if they had made the ATLS a modular platform you could swap kits around (except maybe the Ikti being a separate combat variant), but CIG never misses a chance to make variants so people can go all pokemon and collect them all.

[wet moat]

What is the smallest ship that can holt 2 Greycat ROC?

[olive gull]

C1 Spirit

[wet moat]

thx

[tall karma]

You sure you can't get 2 ROC into a Cutty Black?

[wet moat]

not if you wanrt to bring extra container xD

[willow monolith]

Yeah. I think I just huffed too much hopium when I saw the RSI Salvation and thought it would be able to patch up a ship.. The name kind of implies it 😅

[royal spear]

Wtb jetpack without needing clunky atls

[next idol]

It would be interesting if it could. Maybe they wanna do that when drones comes?

But yeah, salvation as a repairing ship would be nice.

[small nebula]

is the surge module not ingame anymore? i cant find it on a refinery mining shop

[mild pumice]

Moved to Levski

[modern agate]

freelancer, but it's very tight
freeMAX is a lot easier

c1 is a fat boi and def not smallest

[jovial matrix]

almost certainly the cutty black

[modern agate]

https://finder.cstone.space/ShipMiningMods1/46643b07-bb39-4ac1-83e4-d428f0c01a75

[small nebula]

yes im looking for it at Hur-L1 but there is all sorts of modules but not that one.

[wet moat]

i haven´t confirmed it but earlyer someone wrote in this chat that 4.4 schuffeld the modules around becauso of levsky
Maybe look there for a surge

[static island]

I just got a golem, do I need to put bags on it before I leave?

[jovial matrix]

nope

[river helm]

How's the hull C right now? Both for contracts and commodity trading?

[royal spear]

I don't know if TDD terminals are stable enough yet to risk trading and contract wise Hull C is pretty rubbish in 4.4 as they got rid of the hull c contracts..

and it's too temperamental to deal with on smaller contracts and stacking contracts with it is kind of a pain

I've stopped flying mine until further notice

[river helm]

oh did they break TDD terminals in general? So should I avoid cheeky polaris trading as well?

via dock + autoloading

[royal spear]

they were borked in last patch. I haven't tried in 4.4

I haven't heard as many people raging that they can't sell their goods so I'm assuming it's mostly fixed

but "TDD performance" is still a line on known issues for 4.4 😛

do with that information as you will. Capital is at risk. When the fun stops, stop.

[river helm]

haha that's a fair warning on the known issues

yeah I've worked through them in the past, just depends on the severity. Good advice, thanks 🙂

[next idol]

I stacking missions worked as intended it woods be a problem I think. Not the best compared to one single big contract but still

The game doesnt know how to handle it well

They should just take all th cargo and put it again or something idk

[royal spear]

Yeah loading multiple contracts is rubbish. If you do it separately it's a bit better as long as you are well under capacity

But otherwise it's just borked

[restive bear]

A couple of quick questions about docking collars! Suppose I want to use a Hull-C or Polaris to retrieve refined ores from a refinery, can I? Do they have docking collars and can the refined ores be auto transferred through them?

Conversely can I then sell at anywhere with XL hangars or docking collars? Is there an easy way to find which commodity trading locations have docking collars I could visit or does everywhere have them?

I love the idea of using a large hauler to sell the refined ores - but sure if it’s feasible 🙂

[mint idol]

anyone here with a reclaimer that can maybe answer a question for me

[spare cloud]

Just ask

[mint idol]

so me and a buddy are out salvaging ships and for some reason he can use the salvage seats just fine but i cant. i can turn them on and switch between scrape and tractor beam, but i cant physically use them

[random patrol]

Refined ores can not be transferred using docking collars.

[random patrol]

Id say thats a bug but I dont usually use the salvage heads in the reclaimer. Is it your ship or your buddies?

[quartz crow]

Hey I picked up a bunch of contracts that all said I had to deliver them in like an hour, but now looking at the contracts they all say "Contract Deadline: N/A"

So am I off the hook time-wise?

[mild wasp]

Pretty sure I know the answer, but just incase, Can I Autoload the Hull C if the cargo is in my station inventory? (Paid for cargo)

[next idol]

docking collars works for repairing the ship/load QT fuel and stuff but it dosnt transfer materials, you can use them if there place doesnt have a big nough hangar for your ship, if the place has a hangar for your ship when you store it it goes to the hangar

[next idol]

also when you go into the map and press on a station, you can see what stuff they have like hangar size and if they have commodities terminal

[next idol]

yeah no time limit

[crisp iron]

Is there a particular trick to attaching an ATLS to a RAFT's cargo grid? Both times I've tried it has gone poorly - one became a ghost on the grid, the other one floated through into the hull. I like hauling in my RAFT but would appreciate having an ATLS along

[modern osprey]

just raise it so its just below the grid and let go, it will snap

getting it off can be an issue sometimes, double click it to drop it. Sometimes you need to stand away from the raft to do it.

[young hedge]

anyone know any good places to buy and sell in game items obviously with auec

[modern osprey]

#market-street or UEX

[restive bear]

On UexCorp what does it mean by the filter “load dock”? Is that an external freight elevator?

[fickle kraken]

found a2, is it profitable to strip his components off and sell?

[quartz crow]

I reached Experienced with covalex but I can't find any interstellar contracts. Are they still offered at Experienced level or did they increase the requirement?

[modern osprey]

Need senior for Covalex Interstellar

[storm storm]

No

Strip the bombs and have some fun

[random patrol]

You cant remove size 3 components.

[edgy sun]

Hey guys any good guide for begginers in Mining got myself a drake golem

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMd2J1iNJCMdZ1hTEqNKvaCSufAyg5pKK

[edgy sun]

thank you

[covert dome]

starting to wonder if saving for a hull-c in game was a bad idea

based on everyone's experience rn with it

🙁

[storm storm]

Yeah its in a bad spot rn

[covert dome]

maaan that sucks, i'm like 300K off from having enough 🙁

[storm storm]

Get something else with your money

[covert dome]

wanted the hull c because of the ability it had to make the money back, so i'll have to see what's worth getting

if reclaimer wasn't also in a bad spot rn i'd get that

any suggestions? I have a RAFT, caterpillar loaner for ironclad and C2 for hauling

and asgard

golem for mining that i can stick in the C2 and a salvation for salvaging

[modern osprey]

there's a lot more to the game than making money.

[covert dome]

oh definitely, I agree there

[modern osprey]

i like the hull c hauling

[covert dome]

you can do a loop you enjoy and make atrocious money but as long as its fun who cares

[random patrol]

Get a reclaimer

[modern osprey]

more the logistics side of it

[covert dome]

yeah i'm considering the reclaimer tbh

it was that or the hull c

[random patrol]

I run the reclaimer daily...bedlog with a belly full of salvage

[covert dome]

31M... damn

i got a long ways to go LOL

[random patrol]

Lol she's not a cheap lady but shes worth it imo.

[covert dome]

yeah, fair

if the 700k missions still existed for hull c it wouldn't even be a question though

[random patrol]

Got 600+ of this one last night...over 750k

[modern osprey]

hull c was more 700k/15mins

[covert dome]

^

[random patrol]

Honestly wasnt that boring though?

[modern osprey]

yes

[random patrol]

Money is good dont get me wrong

[covert dome]

well some of this i do afk while working

so boring is def not an issue

[random patrol]

Its hilarious how many hull-c's i salvage

[covert dome]

i believe it - those things are parked at every gateway i stg

[modern osprey]

not as hilarious as all the percys laying around

[random patrol]

Yup. I shoot the doors open and power them off

[covert dome]

i see a lot more hull-cs than i do percys

do you have an SRV?

[random patrol]

I do

[modern osprey]

i see 2 percys every nyx investigation mission

[random patrol]

I hang around terra gateway...although micl2 had two abandoned reclaimers last night

[covert dome]

okay well decision paralysis has me again and now i need to consider lol

[modern osprey]

would recommend scraping with a vulture first if that's your jam then go big

[covert dome]

i did some scraping with a vulture during last free fly

i'm less of a fan of the RMC scraping and more of a fan of doing bigger stuff

[modern osprey]

Reclaimer is the same but with a Tetris mini game

[random patrol]

Just stack it the best you can

[covert dome]

tbh i hate the look of the hull c

[modern osprey]

what are you doing in my Reclaimer

[covert dome]

much bigger fan of the nostromo/serenity vibes from the reclaimer

[random patrol]

100% nostromo

[covert dome]

and i've cut myself off from pledging anything until the new year i've pledged way too much since starting last august

[random patrol]

Blood on the walls, leaking fluids

[covert dome]

welp, i guess i got like, 15M left to go

depressing

my problem with the hull-c is it isn't reliable enough rn

i should try commodity runs again, i just get frustrated figuring out routes

[random patrol]

Mining

[covert dome]

mining?

[modern osprey]

all 3

[random patrol]

Yeah do some mining

[covert dome]

all i got for mining is a golem

haven't tried it yet

[random patrol]

And you've been playing since August ?

[covert dome]

yup

[random patrol]

You have a c2?

[covert dome]

all i've done for loops is combat missions with friends, stuff like czs on pyro, exec hangars, but primarily hauling and now intersec missions

i do

[random patrol]

Take the golem and the c2....go mine

[covert dome]

will have to pick up some bags to stick in the C2

that mining guide still up to date or is there a more relevant one for 4.4

[random patrol]

On where to go?

Or the link I posted earlier?

[covert dome]

the link

[random patrol]

Its valid

[covert dome]

i figured going to aren halo is still viable

[random patrol]

Mining is mining

Yes

Safer

Imo

[covert dome]

guess i'm going to head back to stanton from nyx lol

[covert dome]

damn, mining is way more complex than i anticipated

[random patrol]

If it was easy everyone would be doing it

[covert dome]

touche

stupid question... is the easiest way to get a ship inside another ship to park the bigger ship ona pad then fly out with the smaller ship?

[vestal ravine]

Both my hangers are extra large so if the smaller ship can fit on the sidelines then you can call up the bigger ship...Another method is bring the bigger ship to space, backspace, then load up the smaller ship and fly out to the other.

[covert dome]

yeah, biggest i got is a large hangar lol

[random patrol]

Put the golem in the cargo elevator then bring the c2 up

[covert dome]

wait, the golem fits in the cargo elevator? LOL

[blissful wadi]

so 2 things. how do I get to the glaciem ring, and how do I refine when i get back to levski? Do I have to store the ship or put the cargo pods on the elevator?

[spare cloud]

Both.
You can store the ship, then head to the refinery.
Or send the pods down the freight elevator, then head to the refinery.

[covert dome]

how mining is going: rookie mistake i walked out of my golem without a helmet on in space

[blissful wadi]

so how can I tell what something is worth?

[spare cloud]

Use !regolith

[jolly dagger]

Regolith

Use the website to search for ore location, optimal mining loadouts and the best trade locations

[random patrol]

Yes...just put the gear up before the door then extend it after you're clear

[covert dome]

... my C2 is missing from the pad, but my Golem is there

wow LOL

[crisp iron]

Regolith is the mining Bible. I usually try to find rocks with st least 30%+ of the most valuable minerals unless I've been having terrible luck. And enough SCUS to be worth it (I won't mine, say, a 50% gold rock if the entire gold haul is 1SCU)

[covert dome]

rip my ore pads i guess

[random patrol]

What did you do?

[next idol]

I read that you can leave the cargo in the hangar elevator and it will put it in the inventory instead of loading it in the cargo elevator. Is that still working like that?

I never tried it but now I’m working

[mint idol]

its mine

[mint idol]

the golem sucks honestly. cant change the mining head on it like with the prospector. you can get slightly bigger pods to hold a bit more ore tho.

retract that statement. cant change pods on golem. i was thinking of the propector

[covert dome]

died and respawned at nyx

and when i got back my golem was still on the pad but no c2

[random patrol]

You can change pods on both of them.

[random patrol]

How'd u die? Suffocate? In a hangar?

[covert dome]

suffocated on a pad - the C2 was refusing to go back down

so i had to fly it out and the golem

and of course, the reason it's missing... is it's now checked in

[crisp iron]

#1 cause of death in star.citizen is stepping into the void after a sip of water

[wet moat]

How are you doing this?
I feel like every time i get this much the game crashes wile im in QT

[random patrol]

I leave my reclaimer a lot to board ships im salvaging. Thankfully I haven't died in the process

[random patrol]

I bedlog a lot and switch servers to find more abandoned ships. I also power off the weapons before going to qt. Someone mentioned the movement of the pdc'c might be contributing to the crashes. So far I haven't crashed in a few days or more

[wet moat]

ok i will try this

Last night i lost over 1.3k cmats with my reclaimer

[random patrol]

I ran into a server error that sent me back to NB and I lost maybe 600 but it wasnt the qt bug.

If you try all that and it works let me/us know

[wet moat]

Biggest nerv to the Reclaime isn´t 15% Cmats after Refining
Its the Server instability

[teal stream]

anyone maxxed out deadsaint hauling rep?

or atleast high rank

[next idol]

I love my reclaimer. I just wish they were faster with the rework

I think it’s a 2026 one?

Can’t remember if they said something about it.

[lofty drift]

i cant salvage, and i cant mine, should i just murder-hobo??

[next idol]

Salvage the hobo cart with the reclaimer

[olive gull]

uninstall, go back to Fortnite, they say they miss ya

[wet moat]

I mean just give it a usefull cargo grid that stacks the container some layers ontop and doors on the sides of the salvage processing. Thats all i need

[next idol]

Real

I think they should do a quick fix of that before the rework

Just add grids and take out the stupid door

That will work enough

[lofty drift]

Never played, unlike you apparently

[random patrol]

And the stupid catwalk

[wet moat]

Away with the catwalk and a cargo grid that reaches to that hight

[next idol]

They should just allow stacking boxes independently from grid

Like literally any other game in the world

So at least you need to just do the foundation and can just stack up from there

[wet moat]

I’m thinking that if the existing grid system were actually improved, it wouldn’t be so difficult to calculate all the individual containers. Right now so much stuff gets stored outside the grid because the current system is bad, and that’s probably why the game is more likely to crash.

(I am starting to use Chat Gbt. My Grammar gets out of hand)

[next idol]

I guess so

[crisp iron]

They should but probably won't do that as that will severely devalue some ships with how SCU works (and would require reworking the entire SCU system).

Maybe we will get magnetic plates or something one day that can emulate extra SCU lol

[desert shard]

Speaking of stacking, I made a thing to take the spreadsheets out of multi-mission hauling. I called it the Missing Manifest Computer: https://hauling.sc.slupet.com

[gloomy furnace]

are there any ships that are like the drake clipper buy buyable ingame?

ik there arent any with the medbed, fabricator

just want a ship of that size, similar cargo

[wet moat]

you mean a ship with similar use? For example a ship for daly use?

[gloomy furnace]

yeah and of similar size

[steep hamlet]

For hauling, is it better to increase my rep for red haul for covalex?

[wet moat]

The conni andromeda could be somthing you like

[crisp iron]

At 12 SCU, you have a lot of options if that's truly what you want. If you want a medbed and same amount of cargo, you want a cutty red.

[fallen osprey]

Hey yall is the Mole mining lasers broken?

I cant change mine

[crisp iron]

Been broken for a bit currently, I've been doing cargo running until CIG fixes it

[covert dome]

yo this is sick

missing all the planetary locations though smoge

[desert shard]

They aren't in the aliases for the shorthand entry, but they are in the dropdowns for the clicky version of adding missions and stops.

That said, I could be missing some.

[covert dome]

solid work

i'm definitely going to use this thing if i'm doing planetary runs

[desert shard]

Awesome. Let me know if you find a bug or have suggestions. I'll look into coming up with aliases for the rest of the places.

[pseudo slate]

Can anyone tell me about covalex mission sharing, Can you not share a higher hauling mission with someone who has a lower rep?

[jovial matrix]

nope

[pseudo slate]

makes it hard to get help from friends when they get no rep

[delicate girder]

I have 0 rep with any hauling company. I have a rental of a Hull C. Is there any chance I can actually fill a Hull C before I have to give it back in -24hrs?

Must I start out with tiny hauls first?

[storm storm]

Yes, also the big ones got deleted so no actual use for hull c at the moment

[modern osprey]

actually there are still big hauls , just not 700k ones

[storm storm]

Yeah, but nothing worth using the hull c for in my experience

[delicate girder]

Oh, so it's not even possible to rep to Hull C sized haul contracts because they're not there? Are smaller hauling contracts where the product is supplied and I don't buy? If so, which contracts should I start with?

[modern osprey]

there are contracts for Hull C's

[delicate girder]

Where should I start with the safest ones to test?

[modern osprey]

look for station to gateway hauls

[delicate girder]

I'm at Seraphim now.

Guess I have to start with tiny hauls first before I see them?

[delicate girder]

Which companies give those so I know who to rep with first?

[jovial matrix]

both covalex and redwind have hull-C level contracts

[delicate girder]

Not Ling Family? Ah I see that's drugs.

[plucky ridge]

At junior for covalex I’m getting like 70k missions. Feels on par with the first two ranks. Do they go up next few ranks? Which I could filter pick up/drop off sites

[lavish flower]

hull c missions make more or reclaimer with insurance fraud?

[random patrol]

Hullc will get you around 215k if you salvage it...thats before refinery fees

[vestal ravine]

Over the last few months I've been grinding the Reclaimer, Vulture and now the Salvation and do have 16.5 million for the Hull C. I collect RMC only. At Orison 62 RMC is 263 K and 111 RMC is 581 K. as examples. In 53 minutes I stripped a 890J for 79 scu of RMC. There is a glitch you fly away (QT) and come back and the skin can re-form. But that's cheating.

[craggy tapir]

do mission til hull c is borked and then salvage

[random patrol]

Dont tell me you left the 890J after you were done?

[royal spear]

Anyone tried scraping the 890j from the disress beacon contract?

[next idol]

I never found a 890j for scrap : (

[covert dome]

reading in here makes me think i should get the hull c anyway

meh, i'll keep saving for the reclaimer

watched someone use it last night and it looks hella fun

[vestal ravine]

Carpel tunnel...

[vestal ravine]

Last year we did that...pretty cool mission.

[covert dome]

so i parked my golem in the freight elevator so i could get it into the C2

got out of my golem... clipped through the floor and fell through space

game really doesn't want me to mine huh

[random patrol]

At least you had your helmet on

[covert dome]

i had literally just put it on too

i think what happened is the animation clipped me through the floor/back of the wall of the elevator

but i'm not sure

[random patrol]

Fyi server maintenance starts at 1330utc

About 1hr from now

[covert dome]

oh shi

https://tenor.com/view/loki-i-have-been-falling-thirty-minutes-gif-23033667

[random patrol]

Backspace

[covert dome]

my medbay is still in nyx

eh, i'll just log and wait until after maint is done

[random patrol]

[covert dome]

maybe the game will be nice and relog me at everus

[random patrol]

Why didnt u change regen locations?

[covert dome]

because i'm a dumb and after logging in travelled back to everus and forgor

i have adhd so if i forget a task it's gone until something reminds me

which in this case was falling

[random patrol]

Or dying

[covert dome]

yep that too

[next idol]

I regret puting nyx as my home base

The dumb docking it’s bugged

[covert dome]

don't worry alex, i can one up you

i picked orison for iae

i've been back a few times to grab stuff, but man oh man the iae lag was bad

gonna go back today since the Asgard BIS paint loaded

[random patrol]

I start at orison but usually run out of NB because of the xl hangars

I went to nyx for a few missions but left that junk behind...lag city

[covert dome]

oh right, reclaimer player

i don't think i have a single ship rn that needs an XL

[royal spear]

When you log out without bed logging or landing somewhere the game generally teleports you to the last place you landed (sans ship)

[covert dome]

okay sweet. sans ship isn't a problem since it was the golem and the claim time on that thing is next to nothing

[random patrol]

I hope it sends you to nyx

[tall karma]

I wish I had since the vanduul tech smuggler missions are great using medbeds until you run outta medgel and then get booted back to stanton!

[covert dome]

god i would laugh so hard

wouldn't mind it though since i'd probably just claim my destroyed eclipse and go back to intersec missions for creds

yay insurance fraud (in game)

[royal spear]

which ones are those?

[tall karma]

It's not an industrial mission exactly. You have to do a bunch of space combat for rep and the 1mil FPS combat mission to unlock hauling cryopods that you can find inside the vanduul tech smuggler station.

[royal spear]

That sounds relevant to my interests

what faction is it for? Dead Saints?

[tall karma]

And 5 pods gets you 599k which you can haul in a smaller medium hangar ship

Intersec

Keep in mind pirates are pretty frequently interdicting the cryopod delivery stations

Also, there is a bug with the Nyx FPS AI in that they have basically perfect accuracy which is why medbeds outside the station are so handy. I finally had time to finish the whole mission (took 2hrs), and this time I only died twice.

[random patrol]

We did a bunch of those when nyx opened....the fps ones at least to build rep....two guardian mx's and a taurus. Had fun

[tall karma]

You mean the space combat? There's no FPS mission for intersec rep until you get to junior contractor

[random patrol]

Yes thats the correct ones

[tall karma]

Definitely more appropriate for teams. Doing it solo as I've done is pretty masochistic and they designed it for a group since there are 3 boxes in each area.

[royal spear]

This sounds exactly like the thing I need 😄 How rough is the grind until you get those missions?

[tall karma]

The grind isn't too bad. Maybe 20-30 missions between the patrol style one and the kill a large cargo ship bounty hunter style missions.

I did them easily in a stealth prowler to avoid having swarms of fighters to manage

[random patrol]

I had never used the mx before that but I bought one after the fight since I enjoyed the combat

[tall karma]

Wouldn't bother with the rescue mission since the small ship you have to protect dies way faster and you'll fail it 75% of the time

[covert dome]

i mean there's currently a bug where the blades don't spawn

so you may have issues completing the 1M

we ran into that when trying to run it through

i've been doing the bounty hunter missions not for rep but for credits in an eclipse

[half matrix]

how can i make money. been on the grind for weeks and not making as much money compared to the amount of hours ive spent grinding away

[willow monolith]

I heard there’s a reclaimer rework coming.. was that ever mentioned in a SCL or dev post or is that just educated speculation from the community?

[crisp iron]

What ship/loop are you doing?

[royal spear]

No idea but reclaimer is kinda at the point of either rework or remove..

[willow monolith]

Fair. It’s still one of my favorites but it does have some pretty glaring issues

[tall karma]

The blades don't have any impact on the mission finishing, just block you from the main loot room

And you can usually find 3-5 cyropods per cargo A/B without access to the warehouse

[covert dome]

ohhh

[wise stump]

I wouldnt mind my reclaimer getting a rework, but keep the outside look

[chrome galleon]

Can i stack construction mats not on a grid in a reclaimer and the refinery will know its there?

[random patrol]

No. You need to take them out of the reclaimer regardless if they are ongrid or not.

[chrome galleon]

rip okay thanks

[mild pumice]

At some stations you can sell direct from the buffer but it's about half what you get if you refine

[mint elbow]

how does the geo compare to the roc?

i have done gem mining ages ago so have used the roc but i want to try the shiny new toy but duno how worth it is

[delicate girder]

Looks like the ATLS GEO is already less buggy than the ROC buggy. It has less than a tenth of the storage of the ROC so you'll be emptying into a backpack then storage box a lot, but I found myself emptying the ROC a lot anyway because of not trusting it. The GEO can fit almost anywhere and doesn't require the minimum of a Nomad or higher. You don't have to worry about the ramp of the ship being level with the ground with the GEO.

[mint elbow]

thank you

is it worth gem mining in pyro over stanton?

[delicate girder]

I don't know that yet.

I bet that GEO is going to remain more bug free than the ROC forever because there are just two many variants of the ATLS and it will get far more use and debugging.

[chrome galleon]

where is the best place to refine construction materials for the best bonus

[flat bison]

is the hull c cargo box not working for anybody else?

[vapid saddle]

what are good routes for hull c if you are just memeber i want to reach experienced

[random patrol]

There are no "bonuses" to refining CMATS regardless of the refinery....that I know of.

[chrome galleon]

oookay thanks

[random patrol]

All you get is how long it takes to refine vs the cost....so if you pay more....you get it faster.

I suggest refining it at a station that also BUYS the cmats so you dont need to move it

[vapid saddle]

what are good routes for hull c if you are just memeber i want to reach experienced

because i can t find any missions that are possible to do in member rank

[mint elbow]

can i spawn my geo at any station or do i have to transport it?

[lavish flower]

how much can you make an hour with a reclaimer?

[random patrol]

you can bring it up in a cargo elevator like the ATLS and then put it in your ship

[random patrol]

Depends on how many ships you salvage and what you salvage.

[lavish flower]

lets say m2 hercules

and im insurance fraudung

[random patrol]

RMC or CMATS?

[lavish flower]

whichever nets me more profit

[random patrol]

You have a reclaimer?

[lavish flower]

ye

havent tried it yet

[random patrol]

So you havent used it yet?

[lavish flower]

nop

[random patrol]

M2's average 200-220SCU of cmat....and after refining thatll get you 270k....estimated

RMC I have no idea

You do know you need to take the CMAT salvage to a refinery THEN take the refined CMATS and sell it?

[lavish flower]

yea

hmmm

did you use a tool to see how much cmat u get from ships?

[random patrol]

Its called from "experiance"

[mint elbow]

yea i mean if my geo is in a station in pyro can i just get it at a new station in stanton?

[random patrol]

Hull C is 170

[mint elbow]

or do i need to cargo it across

[random patrol]

yeah you can just claim it there

[mint elbow]

alright thank you

[random patrol]

I didnt know how far you were going

[random patrol]

you might want to learn how to use it first....because shes a little different

[vestal ravine]

I would concentrate on RMC only and for the C2 I get about 29 scu. Sells for 5.4 k at Orison. Let me know if you want to team up.

[wet moat]

Why not both?

Cmats have this refinery thnig going but its still easy money

[random patrol]

RMC a C2 takes how long?

[vestal ravine]

CMATS have a lot more crate handling involved and then refining they take 85% of the material. But it sells higher.

[random patrol]

scraping?

[vestal ravine]

Fracturing

C2 20 minutes???

[random patrol]

no you said RMC on a C2....how long to scrape it?

Gotcha

I think new players should try both and see what they are comfortable with.....A lot of people want "QUICK" money (Hello Hull C user) but dont want to move boxes or goto the refinery etc

[vestal ravine]

Yea, that's why I don't mess with Cmats.

[random patrol]

and I dont bother with RMC

[vestal ravine]

Well there you go...lol

[random patrol]

but I wouldnt suggest one over the other....its a personal preference.

[vestal ravine]

Before the nerf I took both.

[random patrol]

Same

[ionic tendon]

Is it worth buying a golem right now or should I wait until they fix the mole for mining?

[random patrol]

you have the $ for both?

[vestal ravine]

Did you try the Mole yet?

[random patrol]

Id get a prospector if you can afford it

[ionic tendon]

No I have enough for the golem atm I'm mosty concerned with whatever bug is affecting the mole right now and no I have only tried the golem with the IAE event. Don't have enough for the prospector guess I need to get to work then.

[random patrol]

Id say work up to the prospector.

[ionic tendon]

Cool thanks for the advice appreciate 🫡

[vestal ravine]

Good luck!

[wise stump]

The engineering in the reclaimer is like not much there. Ah well. This ship nees
Ds a rework guys or a dare I say it a version2.
Don't get angry..haha

[sonic fiber]

Well that was a waste of an hour trying to do a hauling Mission only to have my ship impounded trying to go into my own hanger

[vestal ravine]

This game can screw you up all across the board!!

[pearl juniper]

Usually impounded does not mean you lose your cargo. Get it out and unload it

[sonic fiber]

I tried. All i got was errors

Snafu

[quartz crow]

Is the hull c the only ship that supports auto loading contracted cargo?

[quartz crow]

nm found a reddit post from a year ago saying it is, I assume nothing's changed

Guess my next question is can it auto load smaller contracts too

[next idol]

yeah, the only you can auto loead are commodities but not cvontracts

[delicate girder]

Ok, I know this is basic and I'll feel stupid, but how do I get the cargo off the grid of my rented clipper once I've put it in with my small tractor gun? I still have the Clipper rented for 9 more hours. Now that I try to take a one SCU box off the grid it says it's too heavy.

The cargo boxes are contracted, and I've delivered them to my hanger at the destination and thought I was supposed to unload them onto the cargo elevator.

[royal spear]

sounds like you are doing it right.. what's the problem?

[modern osprey]

are your engines off?

[full heart]

Anyone have any recommendations for an ROC I’m trying to figure out how to mine larger rocks that are impossible?

[random patrol]

Mining rocks with a ROC?

ROC's are used for gem mining....not large rocks/asteroids

[full heart]

Got it thank you

[crimson mantle]

1. Are there no direct member-rank cargo hauling contracts? Everything is a bunch of stops
2. Are hauling contracts just in Stanton?

[spare cloud]

1. idk
2. No, not at all. Idk about Levsky, but there are for sure in Pyro.

[covert dome]

are we talking covalex or red wind?

[crimson mantle]

Whatever big SCU box missions

[covert dome]

well you don't get Hull-C missions until experienced

but yeah it looks like you're correct in that i'm not finding any direct member runs anymore

they got rid of the magnus gateway run

[vestal ravine]

Can the Pulse or the other small "bike" fit on the elevator on the Hull C? I am using the Spindle landing method but in atmo at least can't get down to the landing pad or back up very easily. Thanks!!

[modern osprey]

shoot off the bottom 2 spindles and you will be fine

saw this a lot in Race for Stanton

[mild pumice]

1. after Junior, with the exception of a few direct bulk hauls everything is multiple locations
2. all systems offer contracts once you've done intro for Red Wind or Ling you should see missions in Pyro and Nyx too

Just to add (unless it's fixed in 4.5) Ling currently don't offer any mission after Rookie, I'm guessing that's a bug or they're still WIP. I did raise an IC for that and it has been confirmed.

[vestal ravine]

Ok thanks

[mint elbow]

does port ruin sell empty scu boxes?

trying to google it and cant find anything

[spare cloud]

!itemfinder ⬇️ you're looking for Stor*All containers

nope

you need the large cambio to do that

ah ok, thanks very much for the info ! o7

[silver nova]

Are Osoian hides bugged? Can't seem to buy them even though it shows 4 scu in stock..

What's the smallest box size? Is it like 8scu? If so that's why.

We had that with some resources during Supply or Die

[silver nova]

@mild pumice The only size they sell is 4 scu and there was 4 scu in stock.. but couldn't buy it

[mild pumice]

Weird they should have let you have it, maybe a rounding issue and they only had 3.96 lol
You know what SC maths are like

[silver nova]

I guess the supply stock has to be at 5scu before you can buy 4?

[tall karma]

You can tractor beam a pulse into the airlock on the hull c

[vestal ravine]

Okay that is good info!!

[tall karma]

If you're going to your home planet you can also use the pulse to get a hangar when the spindles are extended instead of a docking port or being rejected

Just sit in the seat inside your hull c and request ATC, hangar gets assigned.

[mint elbow]

is gem mining really bugged right now or is it just the server im on?

[pastel frigate]

are there benefits to going to one refinery deck over another, like wiht other resources for salvage refining?

[pulsar pollen]

Hey! Im wondering about Golem OX, thinking to melt my hull A for golem, but I'm quite concerned about the cargo situation

-# p.s. there's also a post in #ccu-and-fleet-advice

So eitherways with the raft, when you put the containers, the middle ones where there's containers on all 4 sides becomes extremely annoying to take out, I'm wondering would this also be the case for golem?

[pearl juniper]

That's the case for all cargo grids when you have more than two containers side by side. The middle ones don't want to come out

[pulsar pollen]

Yeah, that's also the thing why I kinda keeping my hull A ATM, but thanks!

[random patrol]

The ox can carry 32x2 scu....hull A is only 16SCU box max if I remember. I bought the ox during IAE and ive used it to ferry refined CMATS around.

[pulsar pollen]

That's fair, but I do have a raft already, and I just wanted a ship for those easy hauling missions that doesn't need a lot of scu

[olive gull]

The Clipper say hi o/`

[quartz crow]

Turns out you can auto load any size hauling contract in the hull C, not just the ones under the "bulk" or "stellar" category. I was able to do it with some extra small "planetary" hauling contracts

[gaunt warren]

Hello, does anyone know where I can find an organization dedicated to hauling?

[quartz crow]

It just doesn't matter because those usually go to an LZ where you can't take the hull C. Or if you happen to arrange a contract to a station, that station likely doesn't work with the hull C anyway because the ship seems to be entirely borked atm

[quartz crow]

https://discord.com/channels/82210263440306176/1359577654889812078 Looks like there's a couple channels here that can help you find an org

[next idol]

oh I thouyght you meant just cargo in general (like perosnal cargo)

I read wrong then

[quartz crow]

I seriously can't find a better way to make money than the 1 million an hour by stacking XS hauling contracts. "Member" lvls take too long because they require multiple stops, higher lvl contracts with the hull C WOULD work if the ship weren't broken, and commodity trading seems to be entirely kaput since all the info from UEX and SC trade tools are outdated by the time you get there

[iron oak]

I literally just logged in to do this. It used to be my daily run Magnus > Terra Gateway -- 700k. I was just told they did away with all these. 🙁 Now trying to figure out a reason to run my Hull C at this point. I always flew out there; ran the loop; then flew back and got my ship to run bounties.

[quartz crow]

yeah I'm not gonna try anything with the hull C again until I see patch notes saying they did something. I got CLOSE to making some money with it, then Cargo Services just...never answered

[next idol]

its so sad, they butchered the hauling missions will hull c and also fucked up the salvage numbers and iirc there is something wrong with the moel for mining???? idk what they are doing

[iron oak]

I was pretty successful for about 6 months with the magnus>terra -- easy 700k -- never had issue. Which is why it was the only thing I ran. I kept my ship out there always and used a transport ship to get out and back.

[next idol]

tbh if stackking missions worked as intended it would not be a problem, i dont mind accepting 2 or 3 missions with maubne 2 drops but its just doesnt work

[iron oak]

Yeah, taking few is risky! Which I would never do unless I'm in the Asgard or something else. 😄 Definitely not the Hull C. lOL

[next idol]

so it forces you to do 1 missions alone

but fopr 200k???

that is just dumb

[quartz crow]

I took the internet's advice and tried to use SC trade tools to find a route and it told me to go to Magnus gateway which no longer exists. I wonder if what you're talking about got broken when Nyx came out and Magnus went poof

[next idol]

you can get that with way smaller ships

[iron oak]

Yup. That's not worth it in that big ship. Loved that gateway -- it was just enough cargo/money/time to make it.

[iron oak]

That is very possible! I just realized Magnus is gone. 😐

[next idol]

they just change the name, UI guyess its still the same place

the rutes should work

before the update I was doing terra to pyro

for the 700k missions

I think there is a video that talks about it, ill see if i can find it

[quartz crow]

I just can't rectify why between the two sites, UEX and SC trade tools, I get completely different recommendations based on the same input, and yet neither of them pan out anyway

I understand it's all player-contributed data, but if the economy is not yet player-driven, shouldn't things like inventory amount and price per unit remain static?

And if a player can deplete a location's inventory of a commodity, then why would they even upload that info to one of the sites if they know it's going to be wrong by the time another player sees it and tries to go there?

[wet moat]

Were are the externeal elevator on ruin station?
nerver mind found them

[cerulean dove]

How much worse is the Golem compared to the Prospector? I vastly prefer the looks of the Golem so I'm wondering how much I'll be handicapped if I never get a Prospector

[sonic fiber]

It is small and can't do much. Its a starter miner

[tall karma]

2 main ways. 1) You cannot increase the capacity like you can with the Prospector to have larger containers. 2) You cannot modify the head, but the stock head is high power so it is able to crack a lot of rocks, just sometimes the "green" zone is way smaller than what you could achieve with a prospector.

[cerulean dove]

rip. Guess I'll hope they release a mining version of the Vulture

[sonic fiber]

But prospector is also handicapped co.pares to mole

[tall karma]

I'm not sure what you mean it "cant do much". It technically can do as much as the prospector, but it will be harder and it will not hold as much.

[cerulean dove]

Hmm, okay. I've seen a few reviews on YT that are about a 5-8 months old now so I was just curious if anything notable changed

[tall karma]

The main advantage to the Golem is the size. It can actually fit inside ships that can carry extra containers, so you can stay out and mine for a long time if you have a ship that can haul the Golem + the drake pods.

Hercules, for example, can hold the Golem and like 4 dozen Pods. You don't have to come home until the hold is filled with gold and taranite (though Gold is pretty hard to crack on the Golem I think because they're super resistant rocks? Not that savvy myself).

[cerulean dove]

thanks for the detailed response. I'm new enough that the golem should be good enough for now and hopefully they add another solo mining ship when crafting comes

[tall karma]

They will probably focus on the bigger targets, tbh.

[spare cloud]

The main advantage to the Golem is the size. It can actually fit inside ships that can carry extra containers, so you can stay out and mine for a long time if you have a ship that can haul the Golem + the drake pods.
It can actually fit inside reasonably sized ships that can carry extra containers.

If you can go with a 890J/Polaris/Idris, then just pair it with a Prospector again.

Golem + Asgard or Hercules.
Prospector + the huge fuckers

[somber stone]

what reasonably sized ships you can name which fit Golem?

[spare cloud]

Too late

[cerulean dove]

As long as the golem can technically mine the same rocks as the prospector, I think I'll settle with it

[spare cloud]

The Golem is stuck with a worse mining head than what the Prospector can have, so you'll be going over more rocks that you can't crack, but the difference isn't huge either.

It's significantly cut by a Sabir gadget and Surge module.

[cerulean dove]

Good to know. I'll look into those mods when I actually buy the ship

misc ships are just way too phallic and I can't unsee it

[spare cloud]

Golem head is basically the same thing as the best head, Helix, but with a +40% resistance malus.
Sabir and Surge lower resistance a lot, so it's fine.

Keep this calculator with you so you know if you can crack a rock just by scanning it with your mother ship, not needing to get the mining ship out and try.

[spare cloud]

Yeaaah, gold is a bitch

[cerulean dove]

I don't have a mothership but I'll look over the spreadsheet for reference

[sonic fiber]

Thats not much. Its a little. Prospector is some. Mole is much 🙂

[next idol]

there is a youtube rthat was doing this missions from pyro, they all havew to go to the same place so you can stack them

[spare cloud]

Without a mothership it's best to go with the Prospector, better mining head and storage capacity is nice.
But if you can't stand the looks I understand.

[sonic fiber]

And prospector has an interior

[spare cloud]

If it's not from 4.4, it's outdated

They changed the selection of hauling contracts.

[sonic fiber]

Golem is fine, just its a starter. Probably overpriced

[spare cloud]

Not sure I agree with overpriced, but yes, this.
It is a starter.

[sonic fiber]

Starters should be frew

Free

[spare cloud]

Ah

[cerulean dove]

28k to rent is basically free

[sonic fiber]

Give everyone a golem, fortune, mustang, cutter free

[spare cloud]

Buy a Rieger-C3 and Surge module and equip them with a tractor beam.
Helps a bunch.
Golem 100% default loadout is a nightmare.

[spare cloud]

You played before 3.17 ?
You would've loved the freelancer everyone had for years because of a bug CIG didn't seem to care about

[sonic fiber]

Oh man I loved the freelancer. Didn't know there was a bug

[cerulean dove]

Thanks for all the advice !

[spare cloud]

Also.

!regolith is your best mining friend

[jolly dagger]

Regolith

Use the website to search for ore location, optimal mining loadouts and the best trade locations

[sonic fiber]

I've played since before 2013 on and off

[cerulean dove]

Yep! I stumbled across Regolith when learning how to mine with my ROC

now I'm moving up to spaceships

[sonic fiber]

I tend to only really get ships during free flys. Too much grind to buy them

And I have to start agin every wipe

The aurora is pretty sad to have as my only ship

[heavy iris]

how do i actually setup a trade route to make shittons?

it's not just most profitable a>b because that invintory is perma full

but nothing else makes any damned money

[quartz crow]

Yep that's what I've learned recently. There's no good answer

[heavy iris]

So trading never made money and contracts are dead

[next idol]

basically

[heavy iris]

So what do with hull c?

[next idol]

ram it into CIG headquarters

[heavy iris]

How make money then?

[quartz crow]

I'm just doing it the hard way, stacking extra small contracts and just throwing them into my ship and then throwing them against the back wall of the freight elevator instead of fiddling with the cargo grid

You blow your productivity trying to prevent any one box from glitching through a wall so it's better to just yolo it and take the small hit to the payout

[random patrol]

Salvage makes money

[quartz crow]

Yeah but not as much when you time it, even with panels. Maybe if they hadn't nerfed payout

[next idol]

I just left hauling until they put back either hull c missions thata re worth it or to fix stacking missions

im doing salvage evne tho its also not very money maker rn its more interesting than just hauling atm

[heavy iris]

How? I thought it was mostly shit after the changes?

[random patrol]

Its not as lazy as it was....you actually have to work for it now instead of printing money.

[quartz crow]

You certainly can't make any money at salvaging by taking the actual contracts for it, that's for sure. The fee for them eats into your profits too much

So panels is the only way. But those are extremely tedious and also finding them is buggy

[random patrol]

Do you know how many abandoned ships I find around stations? Free ships? Hull-c's, hammerheads, other reclaimers? I dont pay for contacts or waste time with panels.

[wet moat]

https://uexcorp.space/trade/routes
https://sc-trade.tools/trade-routes
if you want to make a trade route this might help
Depending on your ship you can make some 100k per run
Problem is that you need a starting invest an need to be prepared to lose all your cargo to a game crash

[quartz crow]

Yeah but doesn't that mean that sometimes you're eating someone's ship while they run instead to grab some lux?

[heavy iris]

I have starting cash, don’t worry, I just want some money making method I can use to crank out a Polaris load of torps without issue

[random patrol]

The ships are empty an abandonded....who is running?

[wet moat]

It depens on your ship
With a vulture you can make about 100-150k an hour if you go with panels

[heavy iris]

And one they won’t shaft 2 weeks after I invest enough to enable it

[quartz crow]

There's no way for you to know they're "abandoned" though, how can you tell it's abandoned and that the pilot is never coming back?

Is that allowed in armistice? I thought that'd be considered some form of attack since you're damaging the ship's HP

[random patrol]

Its tagged as "GAMERRULES"

a lot of them are outside the AZ....like this one

[wet moat]

just look for ships that aren´t moving with shield down. I never had someon come back bevor soft killed the ship

[random patrol]

Or that one

[quartz crow]

How can you tell the shields are down? Just zap it with salvage beam and see if it goes through?

[ionic briar]

You target it.

[random patrol]

When you target it...it shows the shields are down

[quartz crow]

Ah ok so it shows the four shield quadrants when targeting

[ionic briar]

Have you never targeted anything?

[random patrol]

Even if the shields are up....just shoot them down and shoot open a docking port or a ramp

I do it all the time

[quartz crow]

Don't be a dick, not everything is an argument, sometimes it's just a question

[random patrol]

Hull C docking port is on the port side.

[ionic briar]

I was genuinely curious. Not being a dick.

I’m sorry it offended you (I’m not sorry)

[quartz crow]

nah that was a dickish way to phrase it don't try to cop out now

[ionic briar]

Oh how sensitive

[random patrol]

Shields can be up....you just shoot them down like I said. You shoot them down, board the ship and power it off so you can salvage it.

Its pretty straightforward.

[quartz crow]

But you can't just shoot a ship at a station right, because of armistice?

[random patrol]

Nope

[wet moat]

I go mostly for the ones without shield becauso they are often shut down and dont need to be softkilled

[random patrol]

Im not picky

[quartz crow]

Not sure what you mean. So you mean No, that's correct, you can't shoot other ships near stations?

[random patrol]

You can not.

Sorry if I wasnt clear.

[quartz crow]

So how do you just shoot them to take the shields down like you said. Are you leaving out a major part of this process, that it's only in Pyro?

[pearl juniper]

You can shoot near stations last I checked. Might get a crime stat

[wet moat]

These ships are out of armistic zone
That mean you can just fly over there and shoot them down

[quartz crow]

So there are enough ships getting abandoned right outside of armistice around stations, even though there's really no reason for someone to fly away from a station to log out?

[wet moat]

What does more dps
The turret ontop or the 4 guns from the pilot

[wet moat]

Yes!!!

Try the gates and also there are many reclaimer around the stations with salvage contrags

[random patrol]

yes a handful....I also bedlog to switch servers and check the same station again. I find a lot of hull c's around the Terra, Pyro or now Nyx gateways also

[quartz crow]

So you're not talking about flying up to the pads and salvaging ships that are parked there

[random patrol]

Nope

The ones outside the AZ

just sitting there

[quartz crow]

What happens if you think you're out of armistice but the game says otherwise? Crimestat?

[wet moat]

the game tells you when your out of armistic

[quartz crow]

Ah yes the perfectly stable and always predictable Star Citizen

[random patrol]

It shows you that you are out of the AZ

[quartz crow]

I'd try it myself but I don't want to get put in Time Out just to confirm a slower way to make money than stacking XS hauling contracts

I'll give it a shot but I'm not big on server logging. I'd love to be surprised but it sounds like I'll be flying around to stations around stanton and not finding anything outside the armistice bubble and it'll be more time consuming than pinging for panels

[random patrol]

You doing in a reclaimer though right?

Dont waste your time in a vulture

[quartz crow]

o nm if I had money for a reclaimer I wouldn't need a reclaimer

[wet moat]

what ship are you using?

[random patrol]

You think im going station to station in a vulture?

[quartz crow]

haha yeah that's what I thought we were talking about

Knew there was a piece of the puzzle you were leaving out

[ionic briar]

You can find loads of abandoned ships planetside at popular buy / sell locations. A space janitor can have an absolute field day and stay working. The amount of abandoned ships is never-ending.

Lots are in armistice, but there’s plenty outside armistice. Tons in pyro as well.

[quartz crow]

Is armistice only arounds stations? Do you not get any crimestat at outposts?

Because someone stole my ship at an outpost once and it wouldn't let me shoot them to stop them

[ionic briar]

I’m not 100% sure, but I’m confident the buy/sell outposts have armistice. You can also… gently nudge abandoned ships out of armistice.

Terra Mills is a common sell spot for RMC and there’s always loads of abandoned ships.

[quartz crow]

yeah if they're floating but you're talking about planet side where they'd be landed

[ionic briar]

Yeah you can nudge a landed ship out of armistice.

[quartz crow]

Isn't pad ramming an armistice violation?

[ionic briar]

It’s not really…. Ramming. It’s pushing or nudging. Pad ramming is typically associated with colliding with the intent of blowing up an active players ship on a pad.

[quartz crow]

I'll have to try this at a time when I won't care if I get put in jail for 12 hours

But I'm skeptical. I already know what's gonna happen, it'll take longer than finding panels. Or the owner of the ship will get back in and shoot me down and I'll lose all my salvage. Or I'll get crimestat.

[next idol]

you just need to go to points on the map (mainly the asteroid ones) and just press T and it will taeger close ships, when you scan thenm it tells you the status

I found polaris and perseus to salvage

also most of their components are liteally broken

[quartz crow]

What do you mean by "status", do you just mean whether their sheilds are up or not?

[next idol]

no, when you scan ships you can see each component name and status

those abandoned ships are just destoyed

you cant fly them if you get inside

[quartz crow]

It'll actually say "destroyed"? I haven't scanned anything since back when everyone said you could get rich off PVE cargo (I never found anything worth anything then either)

[next idol]

yes, it says destroyed

[modest abyss]

Before I sink all my time into a profession, which one objectively offers the highest ROI right now in the current server climate?

I have a vulture, a golem and a RAFT.

[steep hamlet]

Just got a C1 spirit, what components should i look to upgrade>

[quartz crow]

That's what we're all trying to figure out

[cold stump]

Hey guys - a quick question - I'm a new player and decided to get Redeemer for funsies with friends. We salvaged couple of ships - what do I do afterwards? We tried couple of different planets at this point from old yt videos, none of them are helpfull

[delicate girder]

Can you sell stems from a failed delivery contract?

Was on a dead server.

Also, I'm trying to bed log in a Shiv. I'm laying in the bed but don't see any logout option.

[modern osprey]

bed log in Shiv is bugged

[vivid condor]

Yes at grim hex but you only get 25% of the value

[cerulean dove]

anyone know a fix for the ROC not extracting?

I tried switching servers and it didnt work

[wise stump]

I hope on the next patch the canisters for repairing is not sold as full. and we can sell it as a crafted item.

[bright temple]

Couple of options. You can land on a planet hanger and if your RMC and construction materials are on the cargo grid you can store the reclaimer, find the commodity terminal in the city and sell directly from the ship without needing to manually unload.

You can alternatively unload it onto the cargo elevator if it's not all on the grid. Just adds another step.

Some people will unload it all onto a smaller cargo ship so that they can land it on a station and fetch a higher price. You can load it onto the cargo elevator, store the reclaimer, bring up your hauler and load it back on. OR, if you have the crew for it you could transfer the cargo from reclaimer to hauler in space and save having to land Planetside.

Ideally if you get one person doing hauling runs then you can keep salvaging in space while they find somewhere to sell it.

[cunning valve]

What is the ideal ship size for a salvation salvage contract?

[vestal ravine]

I have been getting the Reclaimer impounded at Orison the cargo survives okay and I unload after dinner.

[vestal ravine]

Overall the Reclaimer is top dog.

[spare cloud]

I believe they were asking for the smallest salvage contracts that would fill up a Salvation entirely

[next idol]

UFFF MMmmm idk whhich size it owuldf be the best for that ship, iirc CIG say something that its maionly for scrapping because its very limited for the size

I know ther eis a workaround to change the scrap heads for abrades

[next idol]

I know the vulture has this sweet spot when it comes to getting th materials, the recflaimer has the same?

[crude thunder]

Anyone encountered any Ling Family junior missions? or are there only rookie so far?

[vestal ravine]

I put Abrades on the Reclaimer and get pretty close to the target ship. The regular Stanton salvage contracts can have the bigger ships. Also look around for other ships. I only bring back rmc...

[wet moat]

Best thing to to for the Vulture is to scrape panals
If you want to have some variety contracts are ok but the most mony comes from panals that can be found in avery astroid belt

[wet moat]

just use the external elevators on stations with a refinery. after that you can directly sell or bring it to a locations that pays more

There is no need to land at a planet or load into another ship

[next idol]

I wish they fixed the salvage loop prices, but it seems like there i no change in 4.5

I wonder why

its just a number you need to change

[delicate girder]

Do you loose rep if you take and then within 5 mins or so abandon lauling contracts?

[next idol]

yeah, the best way to abandon contracts its bed log out and then when i come back again the contract its gone

if you press abandon you will always lose rep

[delicate girder]

Is just exiting the game the same or is bed log better for no loss of rep?

[next idol]

its exiting the game in general,

either quit game from menu or bed log

[jovial matrix]

the worst charge you'll get for salvaging an active ship inside a stations armistice zone is a CS1 or 2, im almost certain its just a CS1. You can still land at stations and cities and stuff with a CS1/2, and you can pay it off at those same places whenever you want

same thing with pushing an abandoned ship off of a pad at an outpost, that just gives you a CS1 armistice violation

[quartz crow]

Ah ok tks I'll give it a shot

[worldly marten]

do the lagrange stations have the cargo docking / autoload functionality?

[red granite]

Do they have a cargo deck? no. Therefore no cargo docking /autoload functionality. LO and Gates only

[worldly marten]

damn. Just got senior rank w/ Covalex and was wanting to stack a couple of em on a Hull-C

[cold stump]

Hey guys - where do you sell CMAT now? I got the Redeemer with filled cargo - some still unprocessed, lots stuff boxed.

[wet moat]

first you need to refine them at Pyro or nyx gatway or any other refinery that has an extiror cargo Elevator

[lofty drift]

is the mole still cooked?

it's been quite a while now

[wet moat]

Yeah but you can rent the mole at levski which is abit better than the normal

[lofty drift]

no thanks

i did not drop 9 mil to do nothing with it

[wet moat]

The mole cant change the mining haed but if you are deperit to use the mole you can still change the modules
The standart arbor laser have 2 module slots

[crude thunder]

picked up the Mole Teach Special.... what modules do I need to change out?

[devout light]

is the rieger c2 not in refinery stores anymore, I went to arc l1 and l4 and it wasnt at either

[red granite]

why Rieger-C2 instead of Rieger-C3?

[devout light]

because according to cstone you can only get it from nyx and i didnt want to go there

[red granite]

LIVE or PTU?

[devout light]

Live

[red granite]

hmm, I suspect there has been a recent chage then. Usually it's buyable in a few stanton spots

[devout light]

the item finder says that those places havent been updated since may so something might have changed since it was updated

[red granite]

erkul and regolith are still showing the old spots but erkul has a ton of downvotes. I think they removed the C3 from stanton with 4.4

[delicate girder]

You can store ships at a station with SCUs (for a contract) not on the grid and they should be fine as in they won't disappear right?

I know the inventory system won't read them.

[next bay]

does mole mining work this patch

[rose goblet]

If one has 4 or 5 people doing a Mole op. The dropped mineral pods can get taken back to a station and switched out yeah. But to refine they will have to be reattached to. Mole correct?

[modern osprey]

can just send them down the FE

at least you can with prospector pods

[rose goblet]

Ohhhh and they are then available to the refinery?

Cool

[modern osprey]

yep

just point the refinery at the station rather than a ship

[rose goblet]

Yeah that makes sense. I seem to recall it wasn't possible with some configuration or other. Perhaps Golems. Going to buy a Mole today and plan for ops with mates

[modern osprey]

I grab pods from abandoned gamerules prospectors and refine their contents

[rose goblet]

Oh that's a fun idea.

I'm thinking a couple in a Mole and one or two moving pods around. Could be fun

[modern osprey]

mole and spare pods in a c2 is a good idea

[rose goblet]

Does delivery to ship work now or still unreliable?

[devout light]

Has CIG said anything about the Mole mining head bug, I hope it gets fixed in 4.5

[spare cloud]

It does, you just can't change the mining heads at all

[modern osprey]

they must be planning to do pledgs for the Teach's versions

[spare cloud]

Lmao no way

[jovial matrix]

or, you know, maybe its just a bug

[spare cloud]

Which they acknowledged already iirc

[jovial matrix]

idk if you know, but this game is pretty buggy, believe it or not

[young lichen]

Hey guys, coming back to SC after a longer hiatus; trying to get back into hauling. I’m current member ranked and need to get to experienced for Hull C “fun” but after spending hours running contracts from Seraphin to Orison using my Caterpillar it barely made a dent in rep - is this expected or are there better ways that won’t take days/weeks to make it to experienced rank?

[vivid radish]

Any mole setup for 2 people?

[pearl juniper]

it takes a while. But also make sure you are only taking missions that are at your current rank. If you are at Junior and are doing Rookie rank missions, you will gain rep VERY slowly.

[young lichen]

Thanks - so as a member rank i should only take member contracts?

[pearl juniper]

yep

[spare cloud]

You can't change the heads right now, so just Rieger-C3 and Surge modules.

[covert dome]

23 hour processing time for all the pods i loaded from the golem yesterday, is that normal for materials?

[spare cloud]

Depends on the ores and how much. 23h is still pretty low

[covert dome]

oh LOL

i kept finding gold rocks i couldn't crack so most of my material are B and below 🫠

[spare cloud]

You don't care much, you just keep doing mining runs again and again, and whenever you feel like it, tell yourself it's hauling day, and go sell all your completed orders.

[covert dome]

ahhh, i see

[spare cloud]

You can basically stack infinite refinery orders

[covert dome]

sweet

can you grab the ores and instantly sell at the ore depot next door?

or only if they have stock like commodities

don't have stock*

Refineries don't buy refined ores.
If you're at a space station that does both refinery and trading, like Pyro main stations or Levsky, then you can skip the hauling part

oh, there was an ore shop

is that just for storing ores or what lol

considering going to rent the MOLE with the better heads to try it out

[spare cloud]

Anything inside the refinery is to sell raw ores or refine them. Nothing to sell refined ores.

Selling raw refined ores is at a TDD in cities or admin office in some space stations (every space station has an admin office, they do not all buy refined ores).

what does mean that countdown on volatile cargo?

[spare cloud]

Quantainium explodes at the end of the countdown

If you fly recklessly and take bumps, the countdown drops.
