I did the exact same thing lol

So far hermes and moth are on my regrets for this year

[jovial matrix]

I sent you one already, you'll have to accept my DM request in discord

[grand shuttle]

Shiv released in 4.3, and is coming for auec in 4.7, OX released in 4.4...

[random patrol]

Why melt the ox?

64scu speedy girl

[keen garden]

Hull a is better in every way, except not being a drake

[analog patrol]

Drake is love, Drake is life.

[spare cloud]

Not being able to carry 24-32 SCU boxes.

[grand shuttle]

im hoping hull b is awesome, but im trying to prepare for disappointment

On paper it should have everything the raft has going for it with the exception that you might have to load it from either side

[spare cloud]

But hopefully, unlike the Hull A, and like the Hull-C, it has tractor beams on each side to unload it.

[mild cloud]

Personally I like all of them other than Argo and misc

[keen garden]

I don’t like ship tractors, so lacking one doesn’t bother me too much atm

Not being able to carry bigger than a 16? I mean fair, but I don’t find many cases where I need to carry only 2 32 scu boxes

Bigger issue is auto loading and the retracting cargo splines

[candid stratus]

they should fix first hull c lol

[mild cloud]

I have been putting my nursa into my Asgard but it's way better to park a c8r in there instead

[mild cloud]

I've been flying the Asgard near paf locations than flying the c8r to the garages, clear them out with the ship guns then backing it into the room to clear it out, it gives cover from the NPC's outside and you can just fly it out because it's so tiny

[keen garden]

I mean, the hull c itself works mostly fine

I wouldn’t be surprised if they plan to entirely replace the existing cargo auto loading

With something that’ll support other ships with external accessible grids

[craggy tapir]

if i put 3 FLTR-XL (-24% Inert) on a helix 2 (-40% inert)

does it stack to -112% inert?

[keen garden]

It should be multiplicative not additive

But I haven’t tested it myself

in other words diminishing returns

Should bring you to 26%ish of inert remaining?

100*.6*.76*.76*.76

[spare cloud]

If that's going to be your extract head, use Impact instead, cause Helix can't go lower than 30% power, and that's a lot.

Max you can achieve is -83%, cause as Tantonaxe said, it's multiplicative, not additive.
But it was also tested last week, and it seems to hard cap at -40%. We don't know if that's a bug or intended, but most likely a bug.

[red granite]

I tested again in the Prospector to see if it's the MOLE that is bugged. Findings showed that the Modules are bugged but the Heads filter the correct amount. Helix I on prospector filtered 30%, Impact II on MOLE filtered 40% regardless of which and how many filtering modules were installed on the head.

Tested both the FLTR-XL and XTR-XL. Have not messed with them in 4.7 PTU yet

Every other aspect of the modules seems to function correctly. Laser power, green window, etc. Only the filtering is not working.

[craggy tapir]

Tf...

[zenith blade]

Anyone got any good gameplay loops?

Things To Do In Star Citizen

Click the link above for a quick guide on the activities available for you to do in the 'verse.

[viral heath]

for 4.7? grind bp lol

[woeful pollen]

For salvaging, is there any tip on how to find ship wrecks? I don't thing pinging in search of some wreck across the 'verse is the best strategy.. or is it possible to filter somehow resources/wrecks?

[jovial matrix]

I just do the illegal salvage missions that spawn around yela, nice and easy. If you wanna go after player wrecks specifically, I'd probably check popular stations and the nyx/pyro jumppoints

[woeful pollen]

I have the feeling that looking around nyx/pyro jumppoints would lead to salvaging my own ship wreck in no time

[jovial matrix]

Yeah theres some risk with salvaging player ships, cause typically where theres abandoned ships theres active players. Pretty sure you're safe from interdiction though if you're salvaging close to the JP stations, so you can at least run away

[silver hare]

Iffy is interdiction like EVE where the pilot can survey a section of space with probes to triangulate another player’s position?

[spare cloud]

Ships like the Mantis have QEDs.
They park on a commonly used QT route, any ship that passes by is pulled out of QT. Area of effect is around 10-20km.

[craggy tapir]

40km, no?

wait... it has a 4km range?... tf

[spare cloud]

That's the Cutlass Blue, which only had a dampener. Prevents from jumping, but doesn't pull out of QT.

[craggy tapir]

ahhh

[spare cloud]

Most used term to talk about all this is QED, but it's an abuse, only the Mantis has an actual one.

[daring basalt]

anyone know the best route to trade commodeties are?

[stable raven]

can anyone recommend a duo mining setup for the mole

[keen garden]

Helix up front, 2 hofseads on sides

[craggy tapir]

rieger c3 on helix and FLTR-xl and Focus 3 on the hofstede respectively

[jovial matrix]

Pro tip: don't take this mission, it fucking sucks! There were 6-8 ships guarding the wrecks (ranging from an arrow to a C1) that you have to kill, and it only spawned a vanguard and a cutty for me to salvage. Also, there wasn't even any cargo, the cutty was empty lmao

Look what they did to my poor M2

[jovial matrix]

Well, I tried out the salvation, and its a really cool little ship. I think it serves its role as an introductory salvage ship very well, and I'm definitely keeping it pledged as my game package, but I won't be using it very often. The fact that it basically requires a mothership is a big downside, and it can't even fracture a heavy fighter, but thats all fine cause its a starter ship. I'll still be sticking with my fortune going forward

[spare cloud]

Rule 5 mate.

[ruby hull]

Sorry i was asking for help did not share a link i was just looking for help sorry if it broke a rule it is in relation to star citizen so i thought it would be good to go

won't happen again i'll go elswhere

[spare cloud]

You are free to share it in #imadethis but it will have to be public.

[ruby hull]

okay i'll get beta testers elswhere and post it when truly done 🙂 Right now it is a little rough around the edges XD

[random patrol]

Dont lie....you wont use it ever again.

[jovial matrix]

Whenever we get wiped I will lol

My fortune isn't pledged, and I'm not willing to drop more money for one, so once I lose it I'll use the salvation till I get a new one

[random patrol]

I pledged mine for LTI....its wasnt a lot of $ anyway....50 usd I think

60 usd

[jovial matrix]

I've put about 300$ into the game, and I just melt stuff if I wanna try a different ship. For awhile I've had a standalone cutty red and a 100i game package, which imma switch for the salvation GP. The rest of my store credit is in paints

That way I've always got a salvage ship + a good mutli-purpose ship

[crude thunder]

is there a list of ships that do and don't have yoinkable components?

[spare cloud]

Yes, all the way down. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/20935-Engineering-Gameplay-Guide

[crude thunder]

much appreciated, I'll give it a gander

[agile oyster]

How do you get components out of ships without an interior now that soft death is gone ?
Like the gladius or wolf the component doors stay lock after you blow up the ship

[spare cloud]

[agile oyster]

Ships should unlock after the owner reclaims it right ?

[spare cloud]

If only.

No, they just stay locked, plus become locked for the owner.

[agile oyster]

It’s such an annoying problem
the doors should unlock when the power plat is disabled sense there is no soft death
Or be able to cut open the door with the oxy torch

Or maybe abandoned ships could unlock after like 6 hours or when the owner leaves the shard

[jovial matrix]

They should automatically unlock once they're claimed and become owned by gamerules

[spare cloud]

Oxy torch one day

[half heath]

is there a way to prevent dying when a rock is about to explode from overheating it?

[grand shuttle]

get away from it?

[spare cloud]

Don't overcharge the rocks tbh

[half heath]

it has a huge blast radius... becouse that is exactly what i have been doing and it keeps going wrong

[half heath]

yeah i keep trying but always happens atleast once

[keen garden]

the "trash" savrilium (low quality) from rockbreaker sold raw at levski for 620k

so technically it can come pretty close to paying for itself even at the 850k price, especially if you can actually make use of the higher quality rocks in the big rock

refined everything above 500

sold the rest

didn't mine the torite

[austere slate]

what would people say is the best planet to find quantanium

[craggy tapir]

any

[keen garden]

Look over the planets on Stanton and pick the one with the least different ship minables that is close to where you want to be mining

[keen garden]

i usually find more quant when i'm not specifically looking for it

at least it feels that way

[sick phoenix]

doing some hauling contracts for the money, should i grab the golem and then get mining up until i can afford a prospector or should i just full save for prospector?
also, what ships should i use for the transporting section of mining

cause rn i just bought a cutty black

need to fit it of course

[spare cloud]

You can stack refinery orders to infinity and haul everything the very last day before a patch to sell.
You'd want at least a C2 for that probably, unless you enjoy doing many many trips.

Refining in Levski I think you could simply skip the hauling step.

[grand shuttle]

there really isnt that big a jump between the golem and the prospector. They are basically side-grades, I think? Prospector is bigger and has its own habitation area but golem is small enough it can be mothershipd by c2 or asgard

[sick phoenix]

i just prefer selling when i actually have things to sell rather than holding till last day. mostly cause i like having money

[spare cloud]

That's fair, tho if you sell after every refinery order it's going to be a huge time sink in comparison.

Do a hauling day a week maybe ? Renting a RAFT would probably be enough for that.

Your call, you can do whatever pleases you and if you need to see the money go up everyday, you can haul your refined ores as soon as they're ready.

[sick phoenix]

thats about what i figured

like i don't need to do it after every order but one day to pick up and sell

[sick phoenix]

did a bit of mining and figured out that actually i don't like mining in this game as much

i tend to cast wide nets and mine indiscriminately, take everything back and badda bing badda boom

i think that if that is my philosophy then i should probably consider doing salvage runs instead

[keen garden]

Eh, there’s some value in mining that way, in raw aUEC from selling to the TDD

If you went out and focused on something that sells decently

But yea for that kind of less targeted gameplay salvage is probably better

[fading pecan]

what is better for solo salvaging reclaimer or vulture?

and what ship is best for solo mining?

[random patrol]

I always like the what ship is best for X question because there is never a real concrete answer

[fading pecan]

ok then what is a good one

[random patrol]

Moth or reclaimer for salvage and prospector for mining.

[keen garden]

I would say, progress through them

Different sized ships for different skill/knowledge levels and crew size

Vulture is a great solo ship

It’s generally faster and easier to use than a fortune or salvation, but as your material needs grow, and particularly if you have a buddy who wants to join in, that ship falls behind running a moth or reclaimer

[jovial matrix]

Fortune my beloved

[keen garden]

I always run a fortune over a vulture because 1: I like it more, and 2: it’s better for multi-crew than a vulture due to its double printers and auto grid

Also fits into an idris way easier

[jovial matrix]

Plus it comes in pink, even better

[keen garden]

But if I’m going for pure product per hour I’ll pull out the reclaimer

Especially if I have more than a few hours to work with or a buddy

[solar estuary]

Does the Refineries read CMAT that is snapped on the cargo grid on the Reclaimer?

[solar estuary]

have you been noticing the disintegration part of the Fortune takes WAAAAY longer than it use to in the past? Thats been my major gripe with it right now

[bronze dirge]

So i've been trying to asteroid mothership mine with my M2 and Golem. Unless I stay close enough to the m2 to keep it targeted, I lose it out in the belts (no real landmarks or anything) And I dont seem to get a marker where that ship is like the youtube folks do. What am I doing wrong/need to be doing different?

My longterm goal is to do this with a refining galaxy

[olive gull]

TIP: go get any of those Delivery missions, pickup the box and leave it on your mother ship, you now have a yellow beacon pointing to the box

[bronze dirge]

Thanks!

[olive gull]

an alternative is to kill yourself, you will also get a marker to your dead body

[bronze dirge]

Maybe if I had room for a nursa on board lol. I think the delivery box is the way to go

[jovial matrix]

Myself and many of my orgmates have had issues where the marker for your mothership bugs out and isnt correct after leaving in a different ship. The fix is to alt+F4 and relog, that should put the marker back on your ship

[bronze dirge]

While on the mothership, or the golem?

[olive gull]

soemtimes when i do ALT+F4 inside any ship, the ship refuses to respond.... doors wont open, stuff doesnt work... idk

[jovial matrix]

Leave the mothership and fly around for a bit in the golem, and then alt F4 and reload once you want to return to the mothership

[keen garden]

Yes

Ever since it was given the “scraper” specialty

It specializes in rmc, if you are cracking it’s better to use the vulture or moth for small ships

[keen garden]

I would generally suggest simply not doing this, the markers are far too unreliable

I now only do this at surface outposts with armistice

Note that, there is a location in the Aaron halo

It’s even armistice

[jovial matrix]

Really? First ive heard of this

[keen garden]

Yup, the crusader wikelo station

[jovial matrix]

ahhhh

Thats really cool

[bronze dirge]

Thanks! Ive been doing the jump cancel thing to drop me in the halo in t he middle of nowhere.

[keen garden]

Yea, I’d use one of the CRU-L4 or CRU-L5 stations, since they’re both really close to the belt

Can park at the edge of armistice and generally be safe

[bronze dirge]

Awesome, thanks

[jovial matrix]

You can tell this guy mines, thanks for the tips

[keen garden]

I mean, realistically id use the wikelo station now that I know about it

Only realized it a few days ago

[bronze dirge]

Noted!

[keen garden]

Wikelo station is the cloud on the left

[bronze dirge]

Ah damnit. I tried to store my herc, but it didnt go down the elevator. I should have checked before bringing up my golem. Now they are glitched together

[jovial matrix]

It seems your problem has been solved, the mining ship and the mothership have become one, now you can mine and store extra bags all on the same ship!

[bronze dirge]

LMA

Its like riding a bu ll. I feel like this unholy conglomeration is going to explode any second and tear a new jump point in HUR-L2

Operation Janky Matroyshka doll is complete.

[solar estuary]

honestly I always considered the fortune to be CMAT focused since it always gets a higher percentage of gathering than the vulture

ill test out the Reclaimer and its snapped cargo to refine though

saw some videos on it but never tested it myself

[keen garden]

It’s… while that would be true if hulls were limited, (assuming you’re correct that it collects more per hull; haven’t tested myself) we aren’t hull limited so speed tends to win

[solar estuary]

ye, been why been slowly going away from the Fortune although I would honestly prefer it. MOTH though gonna be my baby

[sick phoenix]

is the fortune/vulture difference kinda like the difference between a golem/prospector where one is a good starter kit and one is much better with upgrades

honestly back when i last played it was only really the vulture that did stuff 💀 but i see there's a MOLE equivalent in the MOTH

[keen garden]

I would say they are close enough to be personal preference, where as the prospector is a clear winner over the golem in that it has far more diverse tools

[sick phoenix]

mm yeah thats fair. i wish i could try the two but i do love my drake ships

it's a shame that there's no salvage starter in game yet

[keen garden]

We’ll have the salvation in shops by the end of the year

[sick phoenix]

in game shops?

[keen garden]

Should yea

We’re the shiv with 4.7

Got the fortune last year

They seem to be being a lot better about getting ships into shops now

[sick phoenix]

well thats good

what is the personal preference to be had between the fortune and the vulture

misc vs drake?

[solar estuary]

cant even store 16 SCU in the cargo hold of the reclaimer x=x rip me trying to use the elevator lol

[jovial matrix]

The vulture can carry more salvage before needing to offload, assuming you use the offgrid space (which you should). Vulture carries 39SCU and the fortune carries 27SCU. The advantage of the fortune is that the salvage auto-unloads itself from the buffer onto the cargo grid, so instead of having to get up and move all the boxes on the vulture while you're salvaging, you just click the auto-unload button on the fortune and it does the work for you

They both scrape at about the same speed, but the vulture fractures faster. The vulture scraping beams also have a slightly bigger diameter, I think those are the main differences

In general, I'd say the vulture is definitely better than the fortune, but its a small enough difference that it mostly comes down to personal preference like tentonaxe said. Having used both, I prefer the fortune, just cause only having to move the boxes once (from the ship to the freight elevator) is so nice

[sick phoenix]

i'd love to give them a try

in the meantime! what are the best hauling contracts to do? i've been doing local directs for covalex

[keen garden]

Technicallly the fortune can hold more cargo off grid than the vulture

But the time you spend accomplishing that is more than the time you save making less trips

[jovial matrix]

yeah exactly

[keen garden]

(You can fit boxes through the doors)

49 was the max I managed to fit

[sick phoenix]

i deffo do not enjoy the MAX, haha. but i need something to haul all this cargo in

[jovial matrix]

The starlancers seem like great ships, but I flew the max one time and I never want to again

[olive gull]

not many alternatives tho..

• The Asgard can fit 250+ scu using the offgrid spaces.
• The Hermes fits 288 scu, but it cant be bough at this time.
• Then a Hercules like the C2 fits up to 800 scus, but its a big whale..

[sick phoenix]

yeah that sounds about right. i guess i just dislike the max or other heavy cargo transport, wanna get to salvaging

[keen garden]

I like the Asgard for most of my mid quantity stuff

Just a fun ship to fly

[coarse ember]

i use my taurus alot for cargo but only cause the elevator being in the middle happens to be convenient, probably gonna give a raft a go after patch this week

[sick phoenix]

what upgrades should i be making to a base vulture

[keen garden]

give it abrades over whatever it comes with

[sick phoenix]

okidoki - also where should i go for salvaging

contract or just Go Somewhere

[jovial matrix]

go to yela and do the illegal salvage contracts, free hammerheads

[sick phoenix]

i c

also the default modules are 1x abrade 2x cinch and 1x tractor

do i turn ALL of those into abrades or do i just go with 1 abrade per arm

[sick phoenix]

do these increase my crimestat

[keen garden]

no

[sick phoenix]

is the illegal salvage in the unverified tab?

or is that just flavor

[keen garden]

yes

it's unverified

[sick phoenix]

i will consider, maybe after i get more experience

for now though i gotta get my upgrades

[keen garden]

the regular salvage contracts are fine to start with, the fee based ones

[sick phoenix]

so re: this one, the thing comes with 1x abrade 2x cinch 1x tractor and idk if you're saying to put abrades in ALL slots or just have one abrade per arm

[keen garden]

scrape it. crack it, scoop it, print go next

well, that part is complicated

what I do is run a tractor + abrade per wing, so that i can toggle between two abrades and two tractors

i don't like having a tractor mixed with a scraper

[sick phoenix]

that sounds nice

i will probably do the same

[keen garden]

i think you can buy both tractors and abrades at most platinum bays

[sick phoenix]

yeah im seein that as well

do i need to change my shields, power plants, quantum drives at all

[jovial matrix]

The only thing that changes with the illegal salvage contracts, is that a few NPC ships will spawn and attack you 1 hour after you arrive at the claim

Unless you're going exceptionally slow, you can fill a vulture/fortune well before the hour runs out

and even if you dont, you can just leave and get a new contract

[sick phoenix]

mhm

[jovial matrix]

You can, but the only thing that really matters is the QD and the stock one is ok

[sick phoenix]

i feel like the powerplants could afford to be better so i have more pips at my disposal

but not the most urgent i guess

[jovial matrix]

Only way youll get more pips is with military A/B powerplants

[sick phoenix]

mmm

is it worth taking the "adagio holdings in need of salvagers" mission? that sounds like the thing to unlock it all

rather than only having one contract

[jovial matrix]

yup

[sick phoenix]

gotchu

is there a sane way to detach ship modules from claims

[coarse ember]

not really tbh, rn it's just
shoot door -> enter pilots seat and unlock all ports -> pull components out

it would be nice if it didnt eat the comps when fraccing a ship but it does make sense, big ship entirely turned to dust

[sick phoenix]

i'm only seeing about 12 scu ish of cargo grid storage space on the vulture, where do you get 39 scu

[coarse ember]

off grid https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/572706150286622720/1311859113474527273/image-1.png?ex=69c33381&is=69c1e201&hm=6ad88db7336190d9d604d4d14849b6a97671dae98566b94ce8e7b3a09ca3de79&

[jovial matrix]

You've got the 12 SCU grid, the 13 SCu buffer, and then another 11 SCU off grid

so 36, not 39

[sick phoenix]

offgrid...

[coarse ember]

usuall i just stuff the entire backside of the vulture til i can't get in the room

[sick phoenix]

so then is the Ship Deconstruction Tech™ something like get in and unlock ports, detach guns and other neat things, scrape hull, fracture, scrape more hull?

disintegrate whenever?

[jovial matrix]

You'd only fracture after you're done scraping

Cause that kills the ship and splits it apart

[sick phoenix]

so fracture is the "i'm going to disintegrate" thing

i feel like when i frac'd it added more scrapable hull

on this mission

[coarse ember]

sometimes it bugs and adds it back to a previously scraped part, normally it's supposed to be the destroyed bits of the model instead of chunks with rmc still fully on

[sick phoenix]

okey

[coarse ember]

i think last time i had that happen was like 3.23 3.24-ish then i stopped playing so often

[sick phoenix]

aha fair

ok so i took off some of the guns, can i sell those anywhere in particular

[jovial matrix]

Anywhere that sells ship guns should buy them, but just fyi they're worth very little

[sick phoenix]

oh. so what physical comps should i actually care about

[jovial matrix]

Anything that you want to use on your own ships

[limpid sluice]

the new salvage missions ask for parts now, dont they?

[jovial matrix]

yup

[sick phoenix]

i can probably just... stockpile parts then

on a similar note where should i sell my rmc/cmat

[jovial matrix]

Cmat you have to refine first, I think the best place to take that is the terra gateway (ill double check). RMC you can sell at either terra mills or orison, terramills should buy for slightly more, but its also more popular and has lower demand

Ok yeah, the pyro and terra gateway stations in stanton will buy CMAT, and you can refine it there too

[sick phoenix]

terra gateway station is nice and close to where i choose to reside, could make it a primary residence. but sounds like it'll be a nice and easy spot

does cmat refining go through the same ore refining processes that exist or are those different

[jovial matrix]

Its the same as ore yeah

[sick phoenix]

also how likely is this all to change whenever 4.7 hits on wednesday (tentative)

[jovial matrix]

It shouldn't change at all

[sick phoenix]

well i guess im more just talking about if im gonna want to sell them elsewhere since crafting will go live

i actually... don't know anything about crafting

i should check for videos on that

[sick phoenix]

is it worth trying to get cmat?

since it seems like cmat and rmc sell at different places

actually the answer to that might change in the future

[jovial matrix]

Well, none of the new crafting stuff uses salvage materials, so you dont have to worry about it in that regard

I typically avoid cmat's, cause you have to go through the additional hassle of refining them, and I don't like mixing cmat and rmc in my buffer

cmat does sell for more than RMC, but you lose a lot of it in the refining process

[sick phoenix]

yeah i saw, i did dinyx and lost like more than 50%

is there a way i can purge my buffer

so i can get the cmats outta there

[jovial matrix]

Nope, gotta claim the ship, its a pain

[sick phoenix]

ourgh

guess i just gotta crash my ship

teehee

[covert dome]

claim the ship, take another salvager out go salvage it, repeat

[sick phoenix]

insurance fraud

[covert dome]

;D

[sick phoenix]

well next question i have is uh

what ship would serve as a good mothership for a vulture?

[jovial matrix]

Vulture? The polaris or the 890

[sick phoenix]

i don't plan to do much solo mothership activity but it would be a neat thing to keep eyes open for

[jovial matrix]

Idris too, but thats harder to get

[agile oyster]

Harder
more like almost impossible to get the wikelo idris

[dawn urchin]

the 890's easier as you just need to tuck the front arms in a bit as you're landing. to offload your RMC you just hover outside beside the cargo door and toss your scu crates onto it.

The polaris fits(TM) but its kind of jank as you can only fit facing the two cargo bay elevators which means your back door for the vulture's away from the elevators which means if you wanna land in the hangar and offload cargo you need to run around the thing chucking crates onto the service elevators. If you try offloading by opening the cargo bay it opens a giant very long ramp which makes parking closer to toss crates in a little more awkward than the 890j

Using the polaris also suffers from the PolarisEffect(TM) in which everyone gets to fight a Polaris in Gilly's Mission #8 which results in you getting poked by people that know exactly how to kill you and sit in your blind spots no matter how many crew you bring/getting hit by a size 42 torpedo at any OM-or-station that decides they don't like you that day instantly killing you/having your polaris hijacked whenever you leave it alone to go salvage because people not only know how to get into them with a gladius and a dream and 30 seconds, but they also want the polaris

the 890J has the 890jEffect(TM) where you can leave every door open and the hardpoints unlocked and no one will look at it or fly off with it because it's an 890j

[mild pumice]

Polaris/Salvation is a nice combo, you can fly into the cargo bay to unload.

[craggy tapir]

890j and salvation is nice cuz it fits in the ground elevator

[elfin rune]

Moth wise, which heads would be the winner? Abrades?

[craggy tapir]

Abrades are the best for efficiency

Wish we had more tho

Or different salvage heads since abrades, trawler and cinch are only modules (like Rieger, FLTR and Focus)

[grand shuttle]

Abrades are the usual recommendation. Cinch are so small as to be painstaking to use, and trawlers lose out a lot of yield.

actually trawlers end up slower too from other peoples math

[crisp iron]

I have an extremely dumb question.

I get what RS signatures are, but when I am in scanning mode on my MOLE they never show up. Do you have to like, point your cross hairs directly at the minable rock itself to get that info? Or is there a hidden menu toggle like emissions values

[keen garden]

Be at full range/angle scan, and then just point in the general direction and the number should display

Make sure your radar has full power

It also sometimes requires you to scroll in and out on the range/angle when the servers are running poorly

[crisp iron]

Hmmm maybe it's that my radar isn't fully powered then, Ill have to check tonight

[brisk compass]

B 😭

[keen garden]

Vulture doesn’t need a mothership

Plus no existing in game ship fits them all that well

You can make it fit in an idris

[sleek bridge]

What do fteight elevators look like? I need ro pick up cargo

[olive gull]

they are in your Hangar, usually 2 (one on each side) there is a cabin near with the terminal to control them

[sleek bridge]

I mean the ones at outposts for example

[olive gull]

that greatly depends on the outpost and on the System you are,
this is an outpost on Stanton

[sleek bridge]

Thanks alot, so itss like a bunker and i walk inside there and find a terminal?

[olive gull]

no, they have the terminal just outside, on the left side, they are on the sides of the landing pads

[sleek bridge]

Thanks bro

[naive vine]

Are mining gadgets still hella buggy to place?

[steady swallow]

Also on some Stations there are Cargo Freight Elevators

[spare cloud]

Buggy as hell yeah

[keen garden]

Works fine on surface rocks

I never can get them to place on nyx asteroids

[elfin rune]

Guys you gonna main base pyro or nyx? Resource wise seems right

[keen garden]

Stanton

It’s not that hard to get to nyx/pyro, and the benefits of org gameplay with everyone kinda being in the same place outweigh the travel time to reach pyro/nyx imo

[olive gull]

Still at Stanton, yeah, but do as you wish.

[elfin rune]

I just wanted to test the community, im a stanton animal

I hate the nyx and pyro stations, too rusty and dirty

[keen garden]

I like checkmate

If it weren’t for being in an org and doing a lot of org stuff I’d be in checkmate

Closest to pyro 1, close to pyro 5/4,

But most trading happens in Stanton so most org stuff happens in Stanton

is salvaging still OP asf?

[keen garden]

Hasn’t been for a few patches now

if not a year

[spark crest]

what's the best method now?

[keen garden]

To make money?

[spark crest]

yes

[keen garden]

Depends on whether or not you want to sell stuff to players

The economy is insanely inflated right now

And… with 4.7 launching more or less right now we don’t really know what the economy is going to do in the next few days, but it’s pretty safe to assume people will still need rcmbnts from Hyperion missions to get their wikelo idris/polaris

Hyperion also rewards 677k auec on its own, if you get it down to half an hour or less you’ll be making more than most contract based money loops

Outside of that, if you want to stick to industrial, mining is looking pretty good

[slow yoke]

Where do you see haulage contracts in a year's time? I usually do haulage as my main progression route and I've built up a rather good reputation with Covalex, however I've noticed that haulage contracts are getting bigger, and my Freelancer MAX can barely hold a small/medium contract anymore. Eventually these ships are gonna be impossible to complete haulage contracts solo if CIG continues to increase the contract SCU size, and would leave cargo ships around this size obsolete unless you play with a friend.

[jovial matrix]

Thats kinda how it works, bigger contracts give you more cargo. I don't think they've increased the amount of SCU the contracts give you over time, I think you're just unlocking higher level contracts that want you to move more cargo

[slow yoke]

A small junior/member rep contract most of the time now is around 86-98 SCU (I might be getting confused with medium), and that can barely fit inside of my Freelancer. My worry is that as the game continues to develop there is more chance of cargo contracts being increased by CIG to try and force a more co-operative gaming experience on the player, and this would make the solo experience impossible to fully complete a contract unless you have an C2.

[jovial matrix]

I'm looking at the hauling contracts right now, and I'm seeing that there are multiple "sizes" of hauling contracts in each rep level. So like, I've got small/medium/large experienced rank hauls. Small is aimed at smaller ships, medium is aimed at midsized ships (like your freelancer), and large is for the large haulers. It might just be that you're taking big contracts instead of small ones

Ok correction, the mediums are meant for large haulers, and the larges are large haulers/the hull C, generally

Same rank and similar pay, but wildly different SCU loads

Also afaik, the SCU amounts for these contracts hasn't changed since they were added. It makes perfect sense that a medium hauler like a zeus or freelancer max can run medium sized member missions. Also, as you rank up and unlock higher tier missions, I think its reasonable for the game to expect you to get a bigger hauler

[peak wyvern]

Do the new Nyx home stations have refineries?

[slow yoke]

I would agree with this, but then it also depends on availability. I know in the full release (when it comes out of Alpha) you'll be able to purchase every ship without having to go to the pledge store but unless you go to New Deal in Lorville to spend extra on a C2, you're out of luck/. I'm happy to do this but then I can only handle so much mass. Larger contracts still outmass a C2's capacity which in the current version of the game is less than the primary objective shown for a "large cargo haul" unless you are doing it with a friend.

[jovial matrix]

Not sure what you mean by outmass, but the largest of cargo missions can be done with a hull C, which is buyable ingame as well

[slow yoke]

Ah, now I did forget about the Hull C 😅 . Hasn't that been having a lot of issues recently though?

[jovial matrix]

Yeah its incredibly buggy as always, but it does exist lol

[jovial matrix]

I'm encountering a lot of rocks that are un-scannable, what are the usual work-arounds to try and fix this?

[whole fable]

Hows everyone enjoy the industrial side of this game now that crafting is out??

[jovial matrix]

I'm kinda annoyed that they changed how high quality ore spawns last minute, but I understand why

[whole fable]

Oh shits , what did they change???

On ptu wasnt it split

Between stanton and pyro

[jovial matrix]

Ill use iron as an example

each iron rock has two different qualities of iron. One will be like 50% of the rock, but only 200-300 quality. The other one will be like 3% of the rock, but 500+ quality

so if you do find high quality stuff, you get a tiny amount

[whole fable]

Thats a pain in the ass

Wtf

No wonder it was taking us forever to find shit

[jovial matrix]

yeah heres what it looks like

They also just made 700+ quality ore rarer. I haven't found anything over like 750 yet, granted I havent been looking super long

[whole fable]

How long have you been at it?

[jovial matrix]

maybe 20 minutes? 30?

Not long, but Like in wave 3 PTU I'd have already found 800/900+ stuff

[whole fable]

So it's going to be a slog

And rumors saying craft items will reset in upcoming patches

Can't find any solid reliable information from cig on that

If they wipe ppls shit like that, ppl will demand blood

[jovial matrix]

Yeah I think people that had crafted stuff in PTU, the crafted items would have their stats reset after a patch

[topaz anchor]

https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-200477

Anyone else able to confirm? Headhunter salvage contracts just fully missing now.

If someone has cfp rep as well, that would be worth checking too

[whole fable]

Whish makes sense its the ptu

[grand shuttle]

I mean, they were specifically testing the ltp for crafted items through several ptu patches and never got it to stop resetting.

[jovial matrix]

Spent about 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours mining on monox, found 3-4 rocks that were at or just above 800 quality

[jovial matrix]

Not sure why, but I wasn't able to create a refinery order at checkmate. Orbituary worked fine, would anyone be able to check and see if checkmate works for them at some point?

[stone saffron]

anyone know how to fix a freight elevator manual issue? I have 6 32 scu of medical supplies that i put on cargo and sent down and when i try to sell it says i need to manual

[whole fable]

Which org are you with

And did you get this maxed?

[jovial matrix]

Im apart of Jokers Gambit, and no, this isn't even close to maxed

The max quality is 1000, and I used 800Q~ iron and 770Q~ hephaestanite

I did a decent bit of mining today, and the only thing 900+ that I got was a hadanite node. There was a couple ship mineables I got that were around 800, but that was it

[whole fable]

Ahhhhh niceeeee!

I don't think I've seen anyone grab 1000q rock yet

[sleek bridge]

Is there a mining guide anywhere?

[olive gull]

Any recommendations for starting city for this patch?

[random patrol]

Im always at orison

[mild cloud]

I usually do hurston

[random patrol]

Sounds like hurston for you

[mild cloud]

I suppose I should also say I like salvage and hauling

Yeah I'm just wondering if it's a should be in nyx or pyro meta

[random patrol]

Won't know until you try.

[mild cloud]

Guess it's hurston

[random patrol]

After I start and setup my ships I usually settle for a station...usually Terra gateway because of the external cargo elevators, refinery and low traffic

[mild cloud]

That is true

I'll stick with hurston I know where everything is

[lyric rune]

what’s a good mole loadout cause I lost my saved one on spviewer

for cracking the biggest of rocks without needing a second mole

[mild cloud]

Hey did you guys get a fabricator?

[lyric rune]

yeh

[lone herald]

where can i find lindium ?

[keen garden]

I did an exclusive rockbreaker and the quality was fairly decent

Couple 750-800 rocks

Mostly mid 600’s

2 size2 hofstead was enough to break everything

Largest rock was above 10k

[covert dome]

Anyone not getting paid from contracts?

I’ve done like 9 today with no money paid out

[abstract bane]

Is the Golem mining laser swappable or are you still locked into the Pitman?

[keen garden]

Locked

[crisp iron]

If you're solo trying to break the largest rocks then you pretty much just want to do Helix with double surge on your large breaker head. Bear in mind there's way more subbreaking now so you'll want something softer too (I have a 2x filter hofstesde) on another station

[keen garden]

I run reiger + surge stampede on my front helix, if I need more than that I just eva and change modules

[peak wyvern]

Do new Nyx home stations have refinery?

[limpid sluice]

The one I checked in PTU (alpha) did not. Very barebones. But, afaik, none of them do

txh you

[austere canyon]

im having a problem with my prospector. when i try to mine a asteroid the charge level wont show. i can manipulate the laser intensity but the charge level isnt showing. i had this problem in 4.5 4.6 and now also 4.7. is there a known fix for this?

[keen garden]

On all rocks?

[sturdy geyser]

Usually my experience is that it can take a long time to show up sometimes. You just aim at the asteroid and leave it there until it shows up. If it take more than like 60 seconds it might be the server being messed up

The only other thing I can think of is not having your scanners powered or something like that?

[keen garden]

Some rocks just aren’t scannable for some reason

[sturdy geyser]

That too

[austere canyon]

The scanner thing is debunked in my case. Since it actively was making the scanning noise. And the yellow outline on the rock was present

[austere canyon]

It’s just happened with every rock that I’ve done since I ever started ship mining

[keen garden]

Are you sure you are going to minable rocks?

The ones with a frequency?

most rocks in the verse aren’t minable

Just static assets

[raw elbow]

hello peeps

im curious to know, is it harder to find ore nodes for solo mining?

[sturdy geyser]

yellow outline only shows up on minable rocks right?

[keen garden]

Right

Or purple if it is small enough to extract

[keen garden]

It’s no different solo than with a crew

[raw elbow]

weird, im in Yelas ring and it feels harder than before

[keen garden]

Try the Aaron halo

Jump out to the wikelo station near Crusader then fly out anywhere away from the station

FWIW that halo goes around the entire system

[raw elbow]

the hell

[keen garden]

The best place to mine in Stanton IMO (unless maybe you’re just targeting one specific material)

[raw elbow]

gonna need high quality Aslarite and Duratite for armor crafting

[keen garden]

ouratite id probably do surface mining for, because of how rare it is

Scan from high atmo

Aberdeen or Arial

Hurston too… but… planet mining sucks

[raw elbow]

yeah, im almost grabbing my Cutlass Black with the Geo for that

[keen garden]

It’s a ship minable, not geo

[raw elbow]

whack

right, so what's the best method of refining

Also Ferron to Pyrometric doesnt seem to be different in the yield

just cost

[magic flame]

With these mining missions if we use a geo or mole to mine can we put the mining bag on the elevator and send it down to turn it in? If so do we get the bag back?

[crisp iron]

Dinx solventation remains king I believe but even the best methods now eat like half your load which is insane.

[keen garden]

Kinda

For refining, yes

For turning in geo/hand minables, you need to move them from the bag and onto the elevator then bring it back up and send back down

Send down the bag/box, open it inside, drag the gems to the left, bring them up and back down, extras back into the bag, bring the bag back up

[raw elbow]

and the refinery has some glaring issues for now

the materials need to be dropped in the table

storing em in boxes doesnt work

[keen garden]

🤔

Storing what in boxes?

mole bags?

What table

Super confused

[raw elbow]

Factory

Store all boxes with items inside for dismantling

[keen garden]

Ah, you mean the fabricator has glaring issues

Works best sitting in a cargo elevator imo

[austere canyon]

im sityting with one right now. it says aluminum ore. it has been scaenned. i can see the optimal charge and overchargge llevels. but not the charge level itself- i have now been drilling it for 3 mins straight. nothing shown yet

[keen garden]

At the top middle of your screen, does it say fracturing mode?

Or extracting

[austere canyon]

yes

fracture

[keen garden]

Maybe server issues?

[austere canyon]

nope

[keen garden]

Got a screenshot?

[austere canyon]

like i said. been consistent the last 3 large patches

[keen garden]

I’ve been mining consistently in all three, so

[keen garden]

Very rarely I might find a rock that won’t scan

Erm

There’s nothing wrong there

[austere canyon]

have i been a dumdum

[crisp iron]

Rock too big laser too weak

[keen garden]

Your laser doesn’t have enough power to move the needle

[austere canyon]

im a dumbass

[crisp iron]

Happens to us all

[austere canyon]

what do i look for then?

or can i get a new mining laser?

[crisp iron]

So you see on the right where it says "IMPOSSIBLE"? That's telling you your laser isn't strong enough to crack it. Generally, lasers have a rough mass of rock they can crack.

[keen garden]

Hofstead maybe? But you’ll struggle either way with a rock that size

[austere canyon]

noted

[keen garden]

Helix with a reiger + surge might be able to move it

Or hofstead with surge

[crisp iron]

I usually use helix + focus as my default mining head, you can use helix +surge of you want a big rock cracker.

[austere canyon]

what is surge? if i may ask

or focus for that matter

[keen garden]

Mining modules, they attach to the laser

They multiply the stats of the laser

[austere canyon]

i see

[crisp iron]

It's a module you can put into your mining head. Every mining head can take 2-3 attachments to change the values.

Reiger makes your laser stronger at the cost of a smaller window. Focus gives you a bigger green window, etc.

Surge is a temp module you can activate for a one time big boost in mining laser power.

[steel fable]

Does anyone know if when selling minerals to commodity if price is influenced by quality?

[keen garden]

It is not

[austere canyon]

so for my pospector. i should do rieger and surge?

along with a hofstede laser

[steel fable]

I guess that simplifies that. Not that money even matters anyways. I think I'll mostly just be mining for org mates crafting

[keen garden]

Baseline I’d run hofstead + reigerc3 or c2

But bring a surge or two in your backpack

[austere canyon]

noted

[keen garden]

You can unlock ports and install it by hand

[crisp iron]

There are also one time use mining gadgets that can help but not really needed for this rock. This one was just too big.

[steel fable]

maybe have a sabir on you if you run across a rock thats got good rarity and you cant break it

[crisp iron]

I personally default to helix + rieger c3/focus iii but I've been mining a bunch

[barren gale]

all right boys, first post here:
trying to figure out what's up with new salvage missions
all I see is 325s and other ships that aren't worth taking?

[austere canyon]

here i though i was having persistent mining issues. and i was just being a dumbass

[keen garden]

I default to helix too, it’s just not a great choice for people newer to mining

[crisp iron]

Yea fair

[steel fable]

I wish there was a midsize mining ship that wasn't oriented around crew mining but fit the bigger mining heads. Mining in the mole is about all I do just because I dont want to deal with rocks I can't break.

[crisp iron]

Honestly less critical now too imho with the 4.7 changes.

[austere canyon]

i mean im not new to it. just ship mining

[crisp iron]

I agree. A new S2 miner would be fire but I don't think we are getting anything new until the Arrastra.

[keen garden]

It’s all about how well you can handle the green zone

[crisp iron]

Mole forever. Condemned to the mole mines

[keen garden]

Helix green zones can be a hair thin

[austere canyon]

that i know gow to

[keen garden]

I don’t even mine gold when I’m solo with just a helix

Doesn’t feel worth the effort with such a tiny green zone

But yea 4.7 has turned everything on its head

Now a pure gold rock isn’t even something you come across

[crisp iron]

I havent seen any gold yet but all rocks I see in mining outposts are all 1 mineral
Gold might just be rare

[austere canyon]

i saw some in a bexalite rock i tried to mine

[keen garden]

This is a rock I found on last day of PTU https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1080158677589299260/1485139536148172820/image.png?ex=69c6b639&is=69c564b9&hm=088966486da851a5c348071e15d4129a6504deb406c154eb7ce24fa2ab3b3179&

[crisp iron]

Also in case you don't know:

Mining equipment is sold on refinery decks at stations. Some stuff is now Nyx exclusive but I don't think that will impact you.

[keen garden]

Only 49 scu

[crisp iron]

Id have to check but that's a lot prettier than the rocks I'm finding. Like 25k mass for 15-20 scu incl inert

But I haven't don't much yet. Mining feels way way slower now.

My mole bags were only 40% full after an hour.

[keen garden]

Yeah they heavily increased material density

Thing is

That rock isn’t worth mining for crafting, the quality sucks

At most it’s good to produce 20ish scu of savrilium for wikelo

The 569 stuff would go straight to TDD

Unless it produces a full scu

[steel fable]

I've seen gold in bexalite rocks out in Nyx

[raw elbow]

it pulls from the entire stash in the station?

[keen garden]

Yes

[crisp iron]

I guess I'm excited for player refining now in the sense that it won't take 50% of my haul I hope

[keen garden]

Probably still will

Doubt that part will change between player and station

[crisp iron]

Pain

[keen garden]

It doesn’t significantly change profits, in a sense

[steel fable]

I've been slowly documenting where I see asteroid types. So far around the nyx stations I've seen Aluminum/Torite/Lind/Ice/Bex. Aluminum seems to be the rarer.

[keen garden]

If you produce less per trip it’ll be worth more to make up for scarcity

Savrilium does exist out there

[steel fable]

Quatity doesnt matter all that much since crafting uses so little

[keen garden]

Usually within any 100km area in the nyx ring I was finding 1-2 rocks

[steel fable]

Unless of course you're mining for cash

If mining for cash prob surface mining quant is the only time efficient way

[keen garden]

There’s probably some things worth more than quant with high quality

Particularly for making weapons

[steel fable]

Im speaking purely of selling at comodoty kiosk. Player trading is a whole other bag

Kind of excited to see the player market get online to see what obscene prices people will pay for 700+ quality minerals

[keen garden]

If I leave my mole elevator open, can other players use the button to close it

[raw elbow]

Aslavine and Ouratite/Duratite

seems to be surface mining

or am i going crazy

[keen garden]

I haven’t heard of duratite

Or aslavine

Ouratite is 100% a ship minable

[random patrol]

I dont think so....

[magic flame]

im having issues with this. i see the pods in my inventory. Ive sent the pods down into the station inventory. they have alum in them. i cant seem to unload them... what am i missing?

[keen garden]

Aluminum in bags is raw and all you can do with it is refine it

[magic flame]

then how do i turn in that mission? its asking for ore?

[keen garden]

Got a screenshot?

I’ve never seen such a mission, might be new

[keen garden]

yeah that wants refined

[magic flame]

ah

[keen garden]

2 full scu’s

[magic flame]

well now i feel dumb ty

[keen garden]

Which… is probably a bit more than 4 unrefined

[magic flame]

i have about 50 scu of it so im hoping thats enough lol

[keen garden]

Yes you should be good, but do keep in mind it doesn’t merge different qualities into the same scu

So… 50 scu of 50 different quality would be 50 incomplete scu’s

[magic flame]

ok perfect. thank you for your help

[tribal scroll]

I saw lots of gold in fairo in pyro last night, but they were all very mass heavy so impossible for a prospector but feasible with a mole crew but even then they were only like 40-50 scu with most of that being bad quality gold and maybe 4-8% good quality

[finite lion]

Iam dumb i have the argo mole and trying to mine argicium ore but nothing happens with the charge level. Iam approx 60m from the ore and have the stock laser head. Laser intensity is also 100%

[tribal scroll]

Not enough power maybe? Are you in the optimal

U got get closer

[finite lion]

How close? 10/20m?

[tribal scroll]

Too far from optimal

Get to the optimal indicator

[finite lion]

Lemme check

Ok works 30m is working

[olive gull]

FYI: you can buy those instead of mining them. Mission doesnt care how did you obtained the commodities.
Aluminium can buy from Nyx Gateway (Stanton) and Quartz from Microtec (Tressler)

[keen garden]

You can also find it on larger salvage targets

I havent mined for a short while but, i dont remember having to second crack so many rocks.... is this new?

Second cracking a rock that is <3scu... seems wrong and not what i remember

You just have to store it at a refinery station hangar

And yes they did a lot of mining changes with 4.7. more subbreaks, fewer scu in rocks.

[hard stirrup]

much obliged

[barren gale]

All right I wasn’t able to get a good answer earlier so I’ll try again

Ran an unverified salvage. Took the cargo and put it in a Hercules and went to sell it. Sold everything at area 18 except for the distilled spirits, which kept throwing this error

I’ve tried the following

• made sure the elevator was in fact lowered
• logged out and back in
• exited the game and back in
• reloaded it into my Hercules and went to new Babbage

Still getting the same error no matter what

What gives?

“Invalid quantity error, awaiting manual delivery to freight elevator”

The cargo was loaded and lowered in the elevator

[dawn urchin]

I recently ( within 24 hours ) sold unverified salvage distilled spirits at grimhex admin, thats the best info I have for you

[barren gale]

I’m having this exact error after checking his screenshot

[dawn urchin]

the only other thing I can add is have you tried selling a single unit instead of sell-all to test that as well

[covert dome]

^

[grand shuttle]

what fresh hell is this, im getting empty cmat boxes left on my ship after refining?

[dawn urchin]

Are you sure they're empty and not just 0% Quality as they don't currently have quality

[grand shuttle]

no, they literally say "empty" when I tractor them.

[dawn urchin]

thats a new one, oof

[grand shuttle]

can I abandon the boxes in a non-residence hangar and they will be deleted?

[barren gale]

Usually I just go up in orbit in my Hercules and space the unwanted boxes lol

[solar estuary]

You guys abel to buy more than one commodities at terminals to local storage? Was buying some cargo to sell at a station, could send one to local storage but then afterwards none of the choices would give me boxes, yet I could still buy cargo to be loaded on my ships

[grand shuttle]

I want to avoid creating server clutter and navigation hazards if I can

[barren gale]

Unfortunately what usually happens to stuff left in other hangars is it all comes back to your home on the next patch

(Source: this happened to me for 4.6 and 4.7)

[barren gale]

So I did try every which way. Wound up opening a ticket instead

does the valkyrie have physical components?

[dawn urchin]

it doesn't even have an engineering panel afaik

[fallen musk]

What's the best prospector loadout?

[grand trellis]

Is it me or does the prospector feel more usless now evrey ore Rock i find in nix has 20k Mass unless its ICE i Canot find any rocks that got less mass

[grand shuttle]

a helix on a prospector with a rieger and stampede should be able to break ~25k rocks before resistances

[grand trellis]

I got a reiger idk what Else i got i think a Focus idk cant rember

But still Theres a Bunch of rocks even that loadout couldnt Deal with

I found a savrilium Rock that Had 114k Mass Not even a fully crewed Mole would of done that

[craggy tapir]

Where is my volatile cargo blinky light gone to?

[long frost]

Patched out

Check https://youtu.be/e24UpwAWH3E?is=gmRdsdTpYilK46t1

🙂

[craggy tapir]

Wait
So
Quantumium isnt explosive anymore?

[regal tide]

How does it let you know if you get a blueprint?

[craggy tapir]

you get a notif atop your screen like when hangar queue

[long frost]

afaik no

not sure if it's a bug or a feature

[craggy tapir]

So can take my bag off

[craggy tapir]

I mean
They removed both the timer AND the volatile cargo indicator on the mole

[long frost]

yeah, this HAS to be on purpose lol

[craggy tapir]

Plus jetisson cargo is gone

[stone saffron]

anyone want to mine some savrilium after work today (need 1 other mole and 5 crew)

[blazing patio]

whats best head and tools for general minign for mole and for prospector

[tall vigil]

Is Sadaryx only found in Rock Cracker?

[glass dust]

Hand mining missions do I need to drop them manually every time?

[tulip bronze]

why do i get the same payment if i haul 8 scu or if i haul 108 scu?

[sleek bridge]

I rented a prpspector and found a asteroid with quantamium. I cant mine it it says resistance 100% impossible? Help

[drifting tinsel]

which is more profitable now? salvage or mining

[crisp iron]

When I mined it on day 1 of the patch the timer was still there... On the turrets only. Pilot is clueless. I didn't let it hit 0 lol

[half heath]

is the reputation you earn for salvaging seprate from illegal and legal version of salvaging contracts

[crisp iron]

What's the mass of the rock? It may be too big for you to mine. Otherwise, your laser is too weak and/or you need to lower the resistance with something like the sabir gadget

[spare cloud]

This is.

I'm hoping this 100% resistance is a display bug.

[sleek bridge]

Solved it thanks

How do i refine my stuff now? And also whats the biggest mass a prospector can handle?

[sleek bridge]

Rock too big

[spare cloud]

Use the calculator I told you about.

[spare cloud]

Well I know I'm the one who told you.

[crisp iron]

Go to a refinery station, store ship, refine like you used to, cry at how much you lose.

Prospector it depends on your mining head. Like up to low 20s if you're pushing it

[sleek bridge]

First time refining and mining:/

Mining

• [Mining Basics](#🍼┃learn-to-play message) • [Ore Refinement](#🍼┃learn-to-play message) •

[spare cloud]

Not up to date to 4.7 but should be mostly good.

[crisp iron]

To refine, assuming you're in Stanton, you want the l1 stations like Hur L1 Faithful Dream, etc. once you store your ship, go to the refinery deck. The refining terminals are in the office above the refinery deck store which is also where you can buy mining equipment like new mining heads, gadgets, and modules.

Once you get to the refining terminal, select what you're refining from (prospector - it will appear if you stored it) and then chose dinx solventation and wait.

[sleek bridge]

Thanks a lot

Whats best refining way for most profit? I dont care abt time

The chart wont open for me

Dynix.

[sleek bridge]

Thanks!

After I accepted the process i can use same ship again?

[spare cloud]

Yep

[covert dome]

I noticed the Ling Family rep ticks up past Rookie to Junior now - anyone find any higher tier contracts yet?

[sleek bridge]

Using a prospector, is it better to be on a planet or look for asteroids? Every asteroid i find is too big

[crisp iron]

You want to be on planets or moons (I prefer moons personally)

Asteroids tend to be larger

[sleek bridge]

Are there viable solo ships for asteroids?

[crisp iron]

MOLE if you can handle the ladders. MOLE is the only ship currently with S2 mining heads so it's the end of the road for mining ships atm as it has been since release. We haven't really gotten a major new mining ship since it's release like 8 years ago or whatever it was.

Prospector can do some of them too with the right mining head loadout but it's easier in a mole due to S2 lasers.

[sleek bridge]

I have prospector rented with arbor mh1 laser, whats my max sized rock i can handle?

[spare cloud]

The calculator...

Use the calculator.

It depends on the resistance and gadgets you may use too.

The calculator has all that.

[sleek bridge]

Thanks🫡

[crisp iron]

It's worth carrying a sabir or two in your backpack for mining runs.

[shut elbow]

which calculator? i went back a way in chat and i dont see a calculator mentioned. i did see the ! mining link and checked it out, some ok info in there.

[spare cloud]

I've helped them in #new-player-help , that's where I mentioned it. scmbd

[shut elbow]

legend. thanks

[spare cloud]

I don't like the UI and it's a bit confusing but it's very complete.

[shut elbow]

yeah, ive been doijng these calcs by hand 😂 didnt know there was a full on calculator

[spare cloud]

Only heard about it very recently, we had this for a while tho, thanks to @pearl juniper

[crisp iron]

The loss of Regolith hurts

[spare cloud]

The arrival of scmbd heavily compensates, only sad because the UI sucks ass.

SCMDB but better

Well, not better cause it seems to be missing basic feature like "disable mining head" but certainly easier to read overall.

[crisp iron]

Easier to read is a big help, since I have to check RS signatures and consult stuff on my phone as I only have one monitor. Maybe worth changing that.

[spare cloud]

Nvm it's just different, but there is.

[steel brook]

Is a golem sufficient for the rock breaker mission

[grand shuttle]

So I am trying to sell 83 scu of construction materials, station price is 15,875/scu, but sell price is coming up as 79k instead of 1.3m... is it factoring quality in and massively nerfing the price?

[spare cloud]

Sounds like the station is only buying 5 SCUs atm.

[grand shuttle]

yeah. maybe im just caffeine deficient atm

Does local market value showing 0 scu "out of stock" mean its local inventory is full and its not buying any more right now?

[olive gull]

no, quite the opposite i believe, means the thing is in high demand and they'll likelly buy all you throw on them
is it not buying your stuff?
i had issues buying Aluminium yesterday, had to swap destination for it to let me buy, the buy button were not showing
is normal to have this kind of bugs just after a big patch

[grand shuttle]

yeah, it was not buying stuff. it errored even on an attempt to sell 5 scu

It looks like even refining after manually sending crates down the freight elevator still creates empty raw contruction material boxes too

[keen garden]

Ore sales terminals don’t see to like buying some of the new materials

[grand shuttle]

man, selling construction material is all kinds of wonky rn. I loaded all the crates up on a raft and took it to a diff station and it will buy it, but it lists every single create separately and only lists them under "resource container" instead of "cargo grid"

[grand shuttle]

Looks like its this bug, can't bulk-sell anything that comes out of a refinery and has a quality attached:
https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-200231

[long pulsar]

with how long loading cargo can take sometimes, is it better to take higher profit per trade routes over higher profit per minute?

[keen garden]

probably

Especially when doing it solo

[craggy tapir]

well

its gone
no indicator for volatile cargo means no volatile cargo at all

[devout light]

Are there no mining contracts in nyx?

[keen garden]

If you switch to mining mode on the pilot seat the timer appears

[craggy tapir]

is stileron included in another ore or is it rare?

[shut elbow]

its a primary ore, saw quite a bit of it in the glaciem belt in nyx, in pyro also

[shut elbow]

at first i thought they nerfed the crap out of stanton, thats why i was mainly finding 500-650 quality ore. but nyx and pyro seems to be the same. a majority of the ore is 500-650, with a bit of 800-950 sprinkled around.

i have on pyro 1

the iron*

[keen garden]

Someone in org found iron 900+ in pyro somewhere

[crisp iron]

High qualities can spawn anywhere I think, seems higher chances in Rockbreaker rewards.

[jovial matrix]

Hurston and its moons should have it

[pulsar trellis]

There isnt a pyro source for it?

[shut elbow]

ngl, i kind of prefer the mining gameloop has turned into just cruising around 90% of the time instead of predominantly mining. 😂 they might need to add a snub ship to the mole so at least you can practice lowflying while looking for worthwhile ore.

[vital hill]

Is anyone else having issues turning in salvage contracts for RMC delivery?

[viral harbor]

[languid lintel]

anyone found taranite in pyro?

[dry salmon]

maybe someone can help me? I was trying to mine with a Golem today, being on fracture mode I'm trying to adjust the charge level with my mouse wheel but it doesnt work at all. I've been into the settings and can't find anything than this. Do any of you have a clue what I'm doing wrong? Hand mining is working with alt+mouse wheel.

just tried prospector, doesnt work aswell

[jovial matrix]

I assume you've tried just scrolling up without holding alt

[dry salmon]

alt+scrolling controls the speed meter

[polar temple]

Anybody in here willing to teach my dumb ass how to mine? i have the ships and know how to operate the equipment. i need help with per ship loadouts, where to find different minerals without flying around scanning aimlessly, and prospecting practices. only really dabbled in mining and wanna get to pro status so i can mine with confidence

[marble crater]

mining seems pretty clunky now, just refined my first prospector run and it delivered every separate grade of the same ore in a unique box

[sharp swift]

Yeah, there are lots of complaints about every separate grade of ore filling up pages upon pages of inventories

[marble crater]

trying to sell 17 listings of the same ore is also pain

Can't imagine what the Mole crews are going through right now

[drowsy kettle]

trying to get rep with shubin intersteller, whats the fastest way?

[long grail]

Can someone carry me to a solo mole setup?

[latent crag]

whats a better mining laser to use, impact II or klein S2?

[echo lodge]

in what sense?

[latent crag]

whatever is best for solo play in the sense that there wont be any rocks i cant mine

in a mole

[echo lodge]

If you want power, than helix 2 is the play. Then a hofstede can be good for a secondary laser for smaller rocks

IF you want a main that doesnt debuff as much, than id go hofstede 2

Klein can only have 1 module, and an impact has the same max as a hofstede

although one less mod slot

[jovial matrix]

Yeah, I run a hofstede as my main, and have another laser with a helix and 3 riegers

[echo lodge]

Im a lil crzy

I run helix with 3 surges

[jovial matrix]

Yeah nah, thats too much for me lol. More power to you though

[echo lodge]

then a hofstede with a rieger anc surge and a hof with impact and xtr

i mine in areas where you see like 120k rocks so

it aint enough

[latent crag]

if my mole gets blown up will my new components (lasers, modules etc) still be there when i claim it?

[jovial matrix]

yeah

[echo lodge]

Once you change the loadout and call it, all of those will restock when repaired or claimed

helpful when using active modules with limited charges

[latent crag]

what do all those do

[echo lodge]

Modules can do many things

A reiger c3 increase power by 25%

its passive so always active

So for your main laser, youd want that likely

a Surge increases by 50% but it lasts 15 seconds when activated and you got 7 charges

after that, it poofs

[latent crag]

hmm

for my main laser would i just want a hofstede and rieger then?

[jovial matrix]

I run a rieger and a torrent on my hofstede

[echo lodge]

Rieger gives power and the torrent increases charge rate

[latent crag]

is it just a liniear increase the higher you go or is there any reason to use a lower number

[jovial matrix]

Yeah they're just straight upgrades

[echo lodge]

Ideally use the highest

than carrying some gadgets to help with tricker rocks can help

whole other ball game

[latent crag]

so what modules should i run on my helix?

[jovial matrix]

Whatever gives you more power, the helix is for cracking the biggest rock you can with 1 laser. So you could do triple riegers, surges/stampedes, or a mix. Just depends on how comfortable you are using the active modules

[latent crag]

id like to just use passive if possible

[echo lodge]

3 rieger c3s(passive) = 75% power increase

3 surge (active) = 150% power increase in increments of 50

Do passives stack?

[latent crag]

is there any reason to just not use the helix for everything?

[echo lodge]

It can be too poweful for some rocks

For secondary breaks, might overcharge

also, it makes the charge window smaller

[jovial matrix]

The hofstede is much more comfy to mine with

[echo lodge]

theres pors and cons to everything

Helix = power but less green window

Hofstede - little less power but comfy

some websites can help calculate loadouts

[latent crag]

gotcha ty that makes sense

[echo lodge]

https://regolith.rocks/loadouts/calculator

An older site but has some good resources

[latent crag]

what are turrets 1 2 and 3 on the vehicle loadout screen? like what turrets do they correspond to on the ship

[echo lodge]

1 = front

2= left, 3 = right

[latent crag]

perfect ty

[echo lodge]

helix is ideal for front because it has less range

for optimal ranges

[latent crag]

so i could have a hofstede with one rieger and one torrent for example and then a helix with riegers on it for pure power?

[echo lodge]

correct

then you can jump laser to laser

if one doesnt work, move up in power

hofstede first, no dice okay helix

[latent crag]

makes sense perfect ty

[blazing patio]

Front laser
Helix
2 surge
1 rieger

Right laser
Impact 2
2 torrent
1 focus

Left laser
Hoestede
Rieger
Focus
This set up sound good?

[echo lodge]

should handle most situations

[tight hazel]

What would be the best MOLE config for mining high quality mats? I would ideally say the side heads be focused as much into power as possible to have the best chance at cracking the rock then the front head be designed for yield on extraction but I have no idea if that the right way to go about it or the needed parts to do so, I'm completely new to mining

[echo lodge]

solo or crewed?

[blazing patio]

solo or crewed matters

[sleek bridge]

What are best ores to mine?

[blazing patio]

anything that is quality 850 or higher

sell to other players

Im right in thinking if i solo mole, i cant only use a single laser still?

If you just want to sell to the tdd, sure. But mining is about more than that now. Everything has value (for crafting) if the quality is high

Okay cheers

how do we clear inert material from bags now?

[pearl juniper]

Ore sales terminal

[rich siren]

aww thanks

[pearl juniper]

Can also sell ore that you don't want to refine. Refining isn't all or nothing any more

[rich siren]

isnt it still a better return to just refine?

i am noticing refining times are way better now which is awesome

[pearl juniper]

Yes, but if you don't want to deal with moving the boxes of low value stuff you can still get something for it

[languid tendon]

how is the quality hunt for everyone ?

for me i mined alot in pyro and my highest yet is 890

[agile oyster]

Does ore quality show on normal ship scan ?

[languid tendon]

monox

[languid tendon]

no, only when you scan it with mining mode

[grand shuttle]

Ish. Scrape speed multiplier is working but too low. Auto eject bugs out if you leave it on and then quantum, it starts ejecing 1scu crates. Buffer is 64scu and it does not lose thrust when full though

Salvaging loop has problems on the cmat side, refining leaves empty boxes in inventory and selling doesn't work unless you sell 1 crate at a time.

[sleek bridge]

What minerals are most sought after atm?🙂

[shut elbow]

yeah ive only found 4-5 900+ nodes, mostly in nyx. think i found one in pyro. for whatever reason CIG thinks the thing that makes mining fun, is just cruising around, not actual mining. 😂 those goobers.

[languid tendon]

you mining around QV stations?

I hope they increase the amount of 900+ ore when when can craft bigger stuff like ship components or ships that needs SCUs of ore

We found several large tungsten rocks this morning, feels like the mole is less capable of breaking high mass rocks than it was in 4.6 and older

A 100k+ rock took a helix 2 with rieger 3 surge stampede, 2 impact 2’s with reigers, AND a stock golem + prospector that were helping us scout

We were hunting anything 800+

Got that big rock, a few 75k’s, and a bunch of smaller ones, all 800+

[quartz marten]

Is there a reason why after I refine all my Construction Pieces, I still have a ton of empty construction pieces boxes in the frieght elevator storage?

[tight hazel]

This team will truly have to be title card

[steady swallow]

The main differnce in Salvage ships is when it comes to the CM (aka CMATS).. for the Vulture and smaller ship do rubble CMATS after refining it.. The MOTH does Pieces after refineing CMATS and the Reclaimer does Salvage after refined CMATS. Those are to help for when it comes time to building bases/possible ships in the future.

[sleek bridge]

Is there a way to combine small 1,2,4 scu crates into 24 or 32 scu ones?

[mild pumice]

Not yet although you can store multiple 1scu crates in an 8scu StoreAll for example (good for moving big loads of 1scu salvage) note does not work with mission cargo. Repacking is planned for the future

[silk star]

does anyone know how many "small purchase order: hand mined resources" missions are needed to get to the publick rock breaker missions?

[viral harbor]

anyone experiencing the MOLE saying 0/0SCU while harvesting

is that just a visual thing?

[coarse ember]

the hand minded gems aren't worth it after the intro mission for shubin, mostly just slow and annoying to find the gems unless you're doing the lowest paying one i think

if you have ship mining ones unlocked you can just use bought commodities, it doesn't seem to have a check in place for if you actually refined it or if you just bought it

[silk star]

[the only missions i get so i can progress to the jr rank are the hand mined ones. how else can i progress the rep?

[coarse ember]

ah, well damn i only had to do like 2-3 of the low rank ones before ship mining popped up

maybe just keep cracking at it a few more times then once you have ship mining unlocked you can either mine and refine yourself or i got excess copper and aluminium for random people to grab

[silk star]

also, its my first time mining in stanton. ive only ever mined the last 2 days in pyro. i am not getting the "Unknown x.x KM". just the bubbles. but when i get close it it, the bubbles disappears and no rocks anywhere near it

[coarse ember]

try flying low to the surface (about 1km) and repeatedly pinging, gems should show up around 2-3km away when you ping so you can ignore anything way far out since those tend to be ship mine-ables

i've had fair luck on daymar and it seems if you take the gem missions any caves nearby you get a highlighted marker above them too so keep a eye out for that

[silk star]

yeah i did that, basically low flying the mole. lol. and i can not get any Unknown x.x KM thingies. but in pyro, it was available

[grand trellis]

whats the best solo mole loadout

[viral harbor]

was not a visual bug, did not get to refine the stuff i was harvesting

[pearl juniper]

If it's a visual bug it usually fixes it's self as soon as any material is collected

[dire crown]

I got ship mining after 1 hand mining mission

[regal tide]

Do need I need rep to get the Rock breaker mission?

[grand trellis]

how am i unable to crack a 20k bexelite rock with a mole

i got a helix 2 with 2 reiger c3 and a focus and its impossible to crackj the damn rock

[chrome rampart]

Whats the best spots to go for good quality ores? Been in pyro all day but i haven't found shit

[jovial matrix]

High quality ore can spawn anywhere, pyro is supposed to have a higher chance overall. Go to a planet that has the resource you want, and just hope and pray it doesn't forever to find some in good quality

[coarse ember]

yep, shubin mining rep
jr for shared version and contractor for exclusive where no one but npcs will bother you

shubin rep missions are in stanton around any of the main 4 planets under mining

[random escarp]

Afk, right now. but I have been trying to keybind to vkb gladiator evo sticks. Stuck with not able to flip into quantum drive no matter what I assigned it to it . Has this had to anyone?

[regal tide]

I'm very confused right now I got the hand-minibles I'm at one of the shubin facilities I put it into the freight elevator now what do I do I sold one as a test but it didn't register for the mission?

[crude thunder]

as long as you took one of the missions it should tell you which location to go to. send the hand minable minerals down in a stor-all box down the elevator and pull them out in the inventory. Bring the pieces the mission requested up the elevator and then send them back down again. It should count

[regal tide]

OMG that is stupid that missions says to sell it not sell it from the freight

[crude thunder]

whats the name of the mission?

[limpid sluice]

pretty sure it does say to deposit them in the freight elevator

[regal tide]

it says to sell it

[regal tide]

I now have the mission to turn in 2 Iron is that refined?

[keen garden]

yes

can buy it from any tdd that sells iron or refine it yourself, or take it off a ship

[regal tide]

So just to be clear when we mine now if we don't collect the exact quality enough to get an actual one SCU box it will always put it in a one SCU box but at a lower capacity of that particular Q ore how do we consolidate the different qualities that are similar do they Auto add to previous qualities?

[keen garden]

you don't

it'll always be a partial, until they implement a merging solution

[sleek bridge]

Is golem or MOLE better as a solo? Mole is bigger but id guess it isnt efficient as solo

[regal tide]

I have a 2 SCU box of copper and doing this mission what says 2 of copper I place it in the lift and nothing happens with the mission?

[rich siren]

Can we sell incomplete boxes of materials? IE .846 SCU of titanium if we just wanna clear it out? Or will the vendors only take complete SCU boxes.

[long grail]

Mole I think is probably better cause even solo you have a widerrange of possible rocks cause u can alternate mining heads for w/e you need

Where are we mining btw for a good turnout? Is around Levski still a thing?

[rich siren]

Ok so ran into what im guessing is a bug, was selling my titanum and stuff in pyro. Picked up some widow to run back to stanton because why not? Landed got to the terminal selected the product i wanted to sell. Said move everything manually to cargo grid. No worries, moved everything sent the freight elevator down to register it. no payment... go back to terminal still saying the same thing move to grid.

Now the product is gone.

and if i fly away now its saying im abandoning cargo lol

so confused

[merry cipher]

Been out of the mining loop since 3.24 … is there a cheat sheet for different resource signatures and what is required to crack them

looking to farm the mats for antium , never even heard of stileron can it be had with a prospector

[merry cipher]

Tossed a helix 2 and a focus on a mole . Looks like these might come in bigger rocks I can’t crack with prospector

[merry cipher]

not enough .. whats everyyone using to collect stilleron

[whole fable]

Wheres the best places to farm matts for the armor

[languid lintel]

anyone found taranite in pyro?

[whole fable]

is it only in stanton?

[toxic ice]

So with the new 4.7 material mechanics, once i get my refinement job complete, and i now have an inventory of refined stuff. How do i transport this now via a raft or such? I have to load it into empty SCu containers?

[narrow hare]

At the refinery, go back to the terminal and you can choose a destination. My ship was stored, and it came up already loaded

However, last night like 20 1scu boxes were crammed into 1 spot lol

[wise stump]

Question could some give me some information on when to use a saber or a optimax on a rock as a guideline.

[placid void]

Where's a good place to solo mine with a prospector, preferably Stanton? Was trying to on dynmar, since I did mining there pre 4.7 but found fuckall worth a dam after 45min so I gave up

[jovial matrix]

Whenever you think the rock is just slightly too big to crack with your laser alone, thats when I bother putting a gadget on

I'll also put a gadget on if its a high-value rock that is going to be difficult to crack. I don't wanna blow it up, so I take the time to add a gadget, and make it easier on myself

[sly robin]

That's why you don't deliver directly to your ship
