The problem with the Cat is it’s made by drake

I really wish showing restricted areas was a toggle or something
vernal birch
aw whats wrong with drake
wraith tree
nothing really, its just a running jab at them. the only real problem is the ships have no armor so they depend on shields completely

Check trade > commodities then click on commodities that interest you
You can use that to build routes
Pay special attention to refresh speed, vices look great until checking the refresh speed reveals that it can take hours of sitting on a pad to load or sell the cargo

@timid plinth If memory serves me correct the Arbor S1 is the standard laser on the Prospector. I could be wrong as I have barely played in 3.8 since it was released. It is too buggy to bother with.

@hollow sedge
hollow sedge
@fiery shell thank you
fiery shell
@hollow sedge nps. still trying to figure out how to fix the laser with this workaround
but ive noticed the bug mainly happens when i (the pilot) use the primary laser on the mole
my crew on the side lasers never get the bug
hollow sedge
Needs to have that hud while in extraction mode
fiery shell
yea it does
but theres still no energy transfer
no wait, in extract mode
i am seeing it it fracture mode
sorry
hollow sedge
Yup you need that broken hud in extraction mode cause the lasers are reversed

@granite meteor where do you find the data for the fields in that spreadsheet. I bought a Siren Q drive last night, but I just had to guess it was an upgrade based on it being military and b grade (instead of c or d). Afaik nothing in game gives you stats for these items
hollow sedge
But it might be impossible now. They might of steath patched it up
@fiery shell as i couldn't get that broken hud in extraction mode
granite meteor
fiery shell
@hollow sedge i see
hollow sedge
@fiery shell in the past you used to be able to get the broken hud, switch to extraction and still have it. I think its been stealth patched
fiery shell
ok, extraction hud looks like this now
whilst the fracture hud looks like i pasted earlier
lol suddenly it started working
ebon dagger
@fiery shell try this. press tab to go to scan screen turn of power and exit seat. then just go back in problem sould be solved
works everytime for me
also if you are done using the turret go out like i said. this will prevent it from bugging again ass i expirienced it
hollow sedge
@ebon dagger how do you get out of the turret the right way?
ebon dagger
f button power off then f button look right and click exit. that is normal way or press y button.
but for preventing the laser glitch first press tab to scan mode then power off then out of seat.
hollow sedge
Alright cause that bug is awful
ebon dagger
did it that way a hole day yesterday whitout having the glitch.
my girlfriend took over for a while and went the normal way out of the seat and had the bug.
so i closed down tab power off and exit
went back in. glitch was solved
hollow sedge
Anyone find any other secret asteroid belts?
fiery shell
thanks for the tip @ebon dagger
ebon dagger
just the aaron hallo that is around the map
hollow sedge
@ebon dagger the one next to the hurston orbit?
Is the belt next to microtech implemented
ebon dagger
it go's the hole way around the stanton so you can jump everywhere between the 2 lines to enter the belt.
why everybody take hurston to arccorp because its easyer to stop on time.
tip set route that pas by and look at your mobiglass and break QT just before first line and normally you schould and up in the middle
ebon dagger
also the belt around yela grim hex is minable to.
but the aaron halo has different stones on the different places you enter it. so its worth to check other entrees as wel

I tend to use the strategy of going to 100% throttle, killing the laser entirely when it gets near the top of the green, and then fine-tuning it when I reactivate it
Although...if the sever lags badly you might explode
white cairn
I leave it at 100% and just point the laser away from the rock

Hmm, I may try that. I finally got this thing to install to my SDD and am eager to see how it helps loading times

Hi, newer player here, I just got the mole and have no idea how to use it/mine. Would anyone be willing to party up and teach my friend and I what to do?

@fiery shell Thanks for the numbers. Gonna see if there's one that can haul and refine
fiery shell
really looking forward to the Orion which can refine as well
wraith tree
I wonder if refining will be a mini game as well
novel canyon
I think I'd enjoy using the Orion
Might get it as a gift to myself if everything else goes well.

the vision for star citizen is insane, i should probably have delayed my start till 2022 or something

I can see Drake making a Millennium falcon
wraith tree
the carrack could be that
but it just looks meh in it's current form
even the old design seemed a bit boring to me
the corsair is closer sorta
echo marsh
I kinda like how it looks but i dont have 500$ 
echo marsh
Yep
fiery shell
yea
wraith tree
but it doesn't feel like a $500 value
echo marsh
Yep
fiery shell
the question is just how many auec it will cost 😉
echo marsh
I mean its cool and all especially the specs but if i have 500$ i would rather spend a little more and get the orion for example
wraith tree
ok it's a "explorer" but we have no idea what that looks like, and the big cargo bay for a vehicle, are vehicles needed for an "explorer" or is that just for people to say they can load up a rover
echo marsh
@fiery shell probably like 5m
fiery shell
exploring isnt that much of an aspect right now, but a true explorer ship might be very valuable in the future
science crafts as well. the premise is extremely enticing.
echo marsh
Honestly rn i feel so confused, i tried ship mining today and its hella fun but i mean yikes upgrading my cutlass to prospector is 55$ and thats a lot, honestly gonna wait and see before i make a choice i will regret
wraith tree
from what I've heard most of exploring just constitutes scanning areas on planets to find resources where a pioneer might build a mining base or something. Personally I would like to see explorers go into areas that actually unknown completely and would take a long long time to get back to normal space
they said they might find other paths through jump gates and worm holes
but It feels like they need to make vehicles important first
fiery shell
Mining is a lot of fun, but I have lost soo many hauls due to bugs, crashes and bad piloting skills so far that it evens out with other activities
wraith tree
maybe planets that are so stormy or so covered in vegetation that ships cant land
fiery shell
But it's also very noticeable that multi-seat mining is new. The mole has a lot of issues.
wraith tree
I mean this is the first multi crew industry ship
fiery shell
Yes
wraith tree
before this its just been people manning turrets to shoot stuff
many many kinks to work out
fiery shell
Absolutely
wraith tree
the orion might be super complex
fiery shell
For sure, but I think it will be a ton of fun once it gets ironed out
Enormous potential
wraith tree
yeah
science should be fun
MISC has a monopoly on science atm
They and consolidated outland are due for new ships
an ARGO industry carrier could be fun
kind of like a Kraken but for industry only stuff, have onboard refinery and hydrogen capture
echo marsh
Idk why the merchantman looks so good in my opinion
ashen moss
Where should I be looking for mining?
echo marsh
Yela or astroid belts
wraith tree
because its a feminine ship among all these masculine ships
most ships in SC don't have curves
all sharp angles
fiery shell
Everywhere, resources are randomly distributed
echo marsh
Thats why i love my cutlass qnd hate tge freelancer @wraith tree
wraith tree
I like both honestly @echo marsh
echo marsh
Idk the design of the freelancer bothers me a lot for some reason
But its a personal thing
I wish i couldve gotten the carbon mole it looks so good
wraith tree
sure, thats why there is so much variety, we all get something
echo marsh
Ye
wraith tree
I now it wouldn't add much but it would be fun to see more of the fictional companies compete with each oher
echo marsh
Btw i cant even imagine flying my little baby cutlass next to someones javalin
wraith tree
like see Argo try to compete with Drake as being the honest hard working man's ship company
echo marsh
I mean the javelin can eat a god damn space station
@wraith tree i like that idea!
I would like to see drake implement alien tech to try and compete in that area with MISC
wraith tree
like a cutlass competitor that has a lot of armor and shields, tractor beam, storage, but lacking in weapons
echo marsh
Oh that could be cool
wraith tree
for different gameplay styles
like I want to see the Cutlass scaled up, asymetrical... thats the corsair in my head
big honker vtol engines
echo marsh
wraith tree
you mean to tell me the cutlass needs vtol, and this big thing doesn't?
offset the flight cabin like a Cat
give it big like dual pairs of the cutlass engines on each vtol (like they were saving money by reusing engines)
echo marsh
Lol
wraith tree
pad the interior walls with cheap foam
echo marsh
Actually never heard of this ship before looks almost exactly like the carrack
wraith tree
its the carrack competitor I think, but the scale between the two is odd
wraith tree
yeah
its smaller
this doesn't feel right at all
I really wish the freelancer vtoled
it did in the original commercials
light star
The falcon has to be bigger than the cutlass
wraith tree
has to
light star
It looks tiny in the diagram
wraith tree
the seats alone in that falcon scale would be tiny
the yt1300 is a freighter
the cutlass can do some freight
but its not what its meant for
so a dedicated freighter would be at least twice it's size
adding VTOL to some ships really messed things up
half grotto
That's the old version of the Cutlass, the new one is larger
wraith tree
which makes the scale worse
I wish CIG would show us concept art that was rejected
I mean they shouldn't because we'll obsess and demand that X be made real
I just love concept art
echo marsh
Same
Btw we need solo mining ships from other companys
There are only like 3 ships planned/exist in general rn : orion , mole, prospector
I just really hate the prospector design i need EDGES
plush mantle
man i would love a drake mining ship. it'd be like, an oversized spinal-mounted mining turret strapped to a giant engine
echo marsh
Omg yes we need this
wraith tree
MISC and banu are like the only ones making ships that have curves
RSI is like the worst in my opinion
its all overly complex flat sheets that look frail
half grotto
MISC and banu are like the only ones making ships that have curves
Origin (and whoever the hell broke into the Carrack design room) would like a word
wraith tree
oh right, origin
forgot about them
@echo marsh this is the original freelancer concept
echo marsh
Ok who the fuck made it ugly, this looks so god damn good
wraith tree
That’s what I’ve been saying lol
Watch the commercial and you see it use the engine gimbals to brake, roll, and land
It still has so much potential, and it needs some updates And they know it
There ladder airlock is tiny and won’t fit a person, the rails for the turret block stuff from being loaded
There are things
I wish I could be like a director of design just for ships

If you go yela, you can probably make your 42k back in around an hour, with a helix and some luck, you might be able to get around 2 trips per hour of 50k+ each
So around 100k per hour

Hopefully, at some point, it may become possible to sell/refine at the orbital platforms to avoid the wasted time ingressing and egressing atmosphere's.

My mate and I can regularly make between 24k - 47k depending on how picky with it with ore purity. I started with a prospector and tbf there really isn't much choice
But really need the 100k+ Helix head to make it really work for you

tender kestrel
Currently only ships that can mine are Prospector and Mole. If you don't have any of these you either fps mine or rent Prospector
inner spear
how do you fps mine
tender kestrel
You buy armor with backpack, multitool with mining attachment, take search missing client mission and go to cave searching for shiny rocks
If you want to see how mining looks like better find some fps mining video
tender kestrel
Not very much I would say, getting maybe 10k/hr on average including 4k prize for finding the client, traveling back and forth or waiting for game to kick me (getting stuck often where the client is unable to climb back up). I didn't play much though so more experienced cave rider may do much better

How do you see how long you got left on a rental?
@fiery shell Do you have an updated price list?
wraith tree
So thoughts on the mole. The pilot or Co pilot scanning should show the element reading since those seats are like the manager of the mining op. The lights need to illuminate everything that the pilot and miners see, not just forward, should be like a work site light. The floor of the pilot cabin should be glass so they can look down across the miners field of operation
Odd it crews 5 but only 4 bunks
last maple
Does anyone else feel like moving your mining laser around on a rock increases the rate of which energy is put into the rock?
I was trying to crack a 0.45 resist 4.5k rock in my prospector earlier and couldn't crack it, so I started moving it to see if it changed by hitting a different place, and as I moved it the energy clearly spiked and every time I stopped moving it dropped back down to zero
I ended up cracking it by constantly drawing the laser back and forth areas that I hadn't previously hit

@green edge they didn't change anything that i know of, you just need to pay extra attention to the % of ores. if you actually filled a prospector with 100% agricium, you'd get at least 80K for it

@sweet lynx power transfer let's you crack bigger rocks
3k power transfer, like what the helix has, let's you crack anything
Default head is 1,400
Middle ground is 2k

Ya the hoftstede isn't bad if you overclock it while saving for the helix
coral drum
Does overclocking work on mining heads? I've heard it's a placebo
pearl kraken
I had a rock a few days ago I couldnt crack no matter distance and power % with hofstede then I oc and I could just barely crack it so either I found a perfect distance or it gave me just enough

whats wierd is the S2s on the mole (There is only suppose to be an S2 on the front head) have the same stats as an S1
The mole is suppose to have one S2, and two S1s on the side
pearl kraken
What like the same stats as a prospectors s1?

So a mole is like a larger prospector plus two more

when looking at a rock, and it says for example
Name Gold
Composition 34.02 100
what do the numbers under gold mean

34.02 is the actual percentage

ah i see
and how do people mine asteroids without dying? I always bump into them because I can't see them until it's too late, and the argo mole takes so long to come to a full stop
last maple
@pulsar maple You want to have my prospector for the day?
I won't be on tonight, you can use it to earn cash at least
Has a helix head
pulsar maple
Unfortunatyely you can't sell from the cargo on ships you don't own, Otherwise it would have been nice too thanks @last maple
last maple
Ahhh okay
wild oracle
@neat pier In your typed example that is a piece of gold containing 34.02 UNITS and is 100%. You were incorrectly advised that the percentage was 34.02%. No, it isn't. It was 100% of THAT piece of the rock that you were examining, and it weighs 34.02 units
So, I assume this was a cracked rock and this was an extractable shard remnant just before you hoovered it up
@neat pier When using the Mole or the Prospector; both have terrible brakes. So, when scanning, and flying about looking for hits make sure you set your VELOCITY to something around 50m/s if on a surface; or at the best crusing speed indicator if in an asteroid field. When moving in towards a hit, always fly to the left or right of the target. Note the DISTANCE and change your speed according to that. Turn your lights on with T may help. Other ideas are to mine with the SUN behind you, so do your scans flying AWAY from the SUN and out of the Solar System. This ensures 100% visiblity of the asteroid field with ZERO chance of hitting something dark on the way. It's not rocket science; seriously.
neat pier

What should I be looking to mine with the default prospector?
Most of the agricium and other high value ores I find have stupidly high mass/instability
swift isle
I'm also just started using the default prospector. Found some ok rocks with gold and diamond that looks to have good value. Looking forward to buy a new mining head, tho. 🙂
I'm also usually mining some minerals with the mining tool and put it in boxes in the back room in the prospector when the rucksack is full. Could sell that just fine from the console at Port Olisar.
latent axle
Yea I only do fps mining if the server is a little stable
swift isle
Good point. I also got 5x mining tools in my inventory in case it "disappeared" :p Then I found out about the inspect workaround, and haven't had any problems with it disappearing/not firing after that.
latent axle
The disappearing issue is fine
But the times when I die because the rock blew up because I "overcharged" it
That's tilting
swift isle
Aah, I see. I haven't had that problem yet, at least when it wasn't my own fault.
latent axle
It doesn't always happen, but it happens enough for me to not want to fps mine
swift isle
Understandable.
latent axle
So? I just look for diamonds?
Sell that until I have enough for the helix?
Question, if I rent a prospector and have the head on it. Does it disappear with the ship when the rental period ends?
swift isle
Well, I'm not that experienced yet with it, but I found that it seems to have good value and usually in rocks with 2.5-5k in mass.
That I don't know, so can't answer you on that :/

@neat pier According to my research, if you scan rock with regular scanner, if you see this "Composition 34.02 - 100" for example gold, it shows that once you sit on your mining laser it might have between 34.02% - 100% of gold in it, but 34,02 is minimum, which you will find there.
The point there is that normal scanner will give you general idea, what you might find inside the rock, but mining laser scanners are more accurate 🙂

guys im stuck with a decision between the Freelancer Max for Trading and the Prospector for Mining. i like both activities equally, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Price difference for the upgrade to these Ships are 5$ - so yea... 😬
fair anvil
You make faster money with the Freelancer Max, but mining is more fun. However the mining seems buggy as hell at the moment, so yeh
I've got both for info
plush mantle
do you have any other ships bertoo? the freelancer is a pretty decent combat mission runner too with its built-in gimbles on the S3 guns
the max's agility is lower than the other freelancers but it's still serviceable just from all the dakka and shields
(it's worth noting that server instability can really mess up your day with trade runs though. gotta be aware that you could lose any given haul)
torn tinsel
@plush mantle dont worry, i wouldnt invest all of my cash in a single run ^^
plush mantle
lol, kk ^_^
then either would be good. i'd say the one thing that might sway me is that you really need to be the pilot to haul, but you can be a mole crew member and still do some mining. but you can't really make a wrong choice here
and you can probably use whichever one you get to pick up the other with credits
torn tinsel
i have the Hornet F7C atm... but i dont really like combat as i thought i would... so i did some transport missions and really liked it. then i bought a hand mining tool and its fun, but can be tedious
Thats the goal Tuesday... get cash to try other ships and do all kind of crazy stuff 😄
plush mantle
lol, yea
high-volume hauling is probably the best profit you can make in the game right now, but sometimes losing your shirt is rough
also my friend who hauls says that sometimes during primetime hours the destination stations are full up and he has to wait to unload a lot of cargo
so there's ups and downs to each
green edge
is there any way to split money between people in a MOLE?

holm: not right now but they're going to add it in the future. you have to do the silly beacon thing at the moment
austere creek
I got the Prospector because after next wipe (hope it's a not for a long time), I can undock and make money right away, no risk, no start up money. Have the max too, but that thing need start up money and have a risk after a new patch for new bugs.
plush mantle
yea, that's a good call
green edge
well if I could make the silly beacon thing work that would be fine. I keep trying to rent prospector only to lose after a couple of hours so I gotta try something else

most mole pilots should be able to get the beacons working by this point, so it's worth a go

thats a little broken but ill take it lol. i hate that cave.
i must be doing something obviously wrong when trying to find my way out
wild oracle
keep the wall to the RIGHT and aim back towards you ship marker - simples. Just keep a wall at your shoulder and keep following it. It always leads out
wild oracle
The cave usually has two main branches, and sub-levels within them. Just keep going up and keep a chosen wall to your shoulder whilst aiming back in the general direction of your parked ship (which is at the entrance).
steel hazel
basically when i found the body, i was stuck on that level and just frustrating myself as i kept looping back
ill take your advice when i try later lol
but at this point if you can just relog and reclaim your ship its like why bother
wild oracle
The climbable cliffs are always marked by a horizontal yellow line of 'moss'. Look for those from the lower levels and hop your way back up and out of there
steel hazel
yeah i knew that much, i had made it out of one of the caves before, i would go up as far as i can and it led to a big room that seemed to be the shape of like a donut with paths on the outside that sort of looped back to the main room
ill try again
plush mantle
How often is the body in the cave? I’ve never managed to find one
steel hazel
ive found it both times ive taken the mission
wild oracle
The body is often missing because the MISSION system is baulked. You are lucky if you get the mission and its actually there

Ahh ok thanks, that’s what I thought

once i had to crawl through a tight squeeze that led to it

another tip for the mine missions is to fit the TORCH to your gun, and use that rather than the Helmet Torch as it lights the way more clearly. Use the U key to turn off the attachment light on your rifle

Hi guy I have a quick question. What would be the best trading route for a small ship I only have a 300i and I’d like to play while actually getting some Auec to rent and fly some other ships
odd sinew
How much cargo does that hold?
plush mantle
try https://sc-trading.kamille.ovh/trading/ tydeezy. but be aware that servers are still crashing now and then and you can lose your cargo
the bug where you QT straight into a planet happens sometimes too. hauling can be a little risky
light wolf
Omg! I gotcha thanks so much.
odd sinew
If you don't have much cargo space, it'll be more efficient to do deliveries. Because cargo doesn't really become effective until you're able to carry a decent chunk of it. I mean you can always do it no matter what, but you won't be making very much profit at all where is deliveries are guaranteed money
plush mantle
yea but the 300i and deliveries is... not a great experience right now =(
stupid belly cargo bug
unless you get really good at yeeting boxes into your cockpit
light wolf
Yea I should have upgraded to the avenger but I didn’t
odd sinew
Pieces CX8 Expedition is really nice, or at least I find it personally is
light wolf
I’m think my next upgrade will be the cutlass. I want a Connie but with the shield problems I don’t think that’s a good idea.
plush mantle
i love the aesthetics on the expedition. dogfights poorly though
so not as much of a multi-role ship, at least until exploration is in
yea, +1 to the cutlass. it's a shockingly decent fighter and does deliveries great. 46 SCU also means moderate hauling profits
odd sinew
It definitely isn't the best dogfighter in the world, but I'm doing some little bits of experimenting around to figure out how to make it better
For a start, I've ripped two more size 1 gimbals off of the starter Aurora and slaped them on the other two weapon mounts on the Expedition
plush mantle
even if the connie's shield problems were fixed it's much more of a hauler than an all-rounder. it's very difficult to get someone off your tail in it -- the turns and jets are slow
light wolf
Ahhh
plush mantle
and it has to compete against the freelancer max in the hauling role, which is a smaller, easier-to-land ship with more cargo room. all freelancer variants are also stronger than they look in solo pve -- all of its turrets get a free gimbal without a size drop
light wolf
Whoa I didn’t know that
The free gimbal without size drop is worth it. It’s just an ugly ship lol
plush mantle
yea, that's why i didn't go with it ^^;
it's a very survivable ship with a lot of firepower and space, though
btw, do you know about https://hardpoint.io/ and https://www.erkul.games/calculator , tydeezy? the official store pages are usually outdated

so what is pros and cons of a cutlass vs a titan
rose walrus
is hauling still a viable income?
pulsar maple
Cutlass has more cargo and bigger guns - Titan is more manouverable
carmine jasper
alright interesting
pulsar maple
Im toying with upgrading my Stalker to a cutlass - But I'm still unsure
carmine jasper
yeah i enjoy my titan and need to enjoy it more, but im looking at cutlass and freelancer as the next option
from what i hear the combat version of cutlass relies on its shield mostly, the core hp of the ship is lower than the avenger series.
echo marsh
Upgraded from the titan to cutlass a week ago, i dont regret it at all
Titan was fun but veryyy limited + had so many issues with it
pulsar maple
TBH - I destroyed a hammerhead with my titan... I think the overall structure HP of all ships is low
echo marsh
Yep, with my titan there wasnt a single ship i lost to, npc or player
But with the cutlass it does the job faster and with a friend in the turret it makes life much easier
Also doing cargo with titan is completly a waste of time, with the cutlass u actually have decent profit
carmine jasper
is the freelancer viable in combat or is that based on the variant
pulsar maple
I've been told the cutlass is very squishy though - That's the thing that puts me off
And can you paint ships?
echo marsh
Not rn
The cutlass aint squishy at all, the shields are a little bit weak (upgradable) + when the actual armor toughness update comes it will be even stronger
Havent lost any battles woth except 2 times- a godly pilot that was my bounty target and managed to destroy everyone that went after him, and once when i crashed into an astroid lol

@simple river sorry was asleep
Flying backwards while scanning makes it way easier to spot deposits
You scan mostly in a circle, you could stop and spin, but if you're surveying then you'd probably want to keep travelling
If you fly forward through your scanned circle, you'll only see the part of the circle directly in front of you (and hud markers at the corners for the rest)
By flying backwards you can see most of your scanned circle for basically no effort while still moving
And 500m should be plenty height, just stay mostly level to the horizon so you don't start flying off or flying backwards into a mountain

Gallog said to go to CRUL5 with SLAM. CRUL5 no longer has a rest stop, despite Gallog reporting it was updated for 3.8. With that said, does anyone know where I can sell 300k worth of slam?

one moment
starting point
have you tried Cru L1 or grimhex?
wait
CRU L5 exists
you jump to it and the station is there, just not from main star map
rugged viper
Yeah
Also
I think I am just dumb as fuck
Because it might be Hur L5
And I cant read 🙂
brittle cove
is it hurl5
rugged viper
IDK, Gallog is being dumb and is giving me different routes now despite the same info being slotted
brittle cove
you tried versemate?
rugged viper
Versemate is still on 3.7.1
Last I checked
Which was last night
Nothing
IDK man
I have no clue where to get rid of it
brittle cove
grimhex i think you can
rugged viper
You said you think CRUL5 is still there just not on map?
Ill go and check it out again real quick just in case
But ill probably offload at GH
brittle cove
yeah probbaly safest

Thanks for sticking with me on this amazing adventure
granite meteor
That's like 10 hours of selling
rugged viper
Thats okay
granite meteor
Should be there
rugged viper
I went off Gallog at face value
never again o.o
This is my first day of trading lmao
granite meteor
No always click, lol, refresh speeds are what makes drugs a bad option
rugged viper
Always click?
granite meteor
And also having to travel to and from unmarked locations
Always yeah, even scrap is not as good as it looks once one realizes how much fuel they spend on the full profit jumps
rugged viper
Click what?
rugged viper
Boys
It does exist
Thank you for all your help
One final question and this journey will be at an end
Does anyone know where the hidden terminal on CRUL5 is?
Nevermind just found it
:/
random musk
where can i use the mole to get alot of money?
wraith tree
There is some higher value stuff on cerlia I read
Havn’t tried it though
Cat doesn’t approve of me mining
@proven token one of these nights we should try getting two moles going
Get 6 other people
And the other arms take size 2 heads on the mole, I thought it was 1 size 2 and 2 size 1s
granite meteor
It's supposed to be, but yeah atm they're all s2s
Also yela belt is pretty good, as is the aaron halo
wraith tree
That would suck having them downgraded to size 1 on the sides
Ok how do I get those damn pepe memes
And sorta related, with the prospector and the mole both using lasers, what are the chances that the Orion will lose that front drill head thing and have it replaced with some kind of larger laser
granite meteor
It also has a large laser though
proven token
@wraith tree sure, not sure more then one crewed mole would be even worth it though :) not enough resources to go around

I timed myself, about 30 minutes on Daymar and this was my return.
