industrial-professions

[regal notch]

that brought me to stop trading in 3.8.1 😄

[fossil tree]

can you rent catepillar?

[obtuse ibex]

not currently

[fossil tree]

ahh okay, was reading someone saying it was rentable and spent hour looking for it xD

[obtuse ibex]

I'd love if it was

[blissful thorn]

Yea I mean basically just gonna push me to stop playing period, because everything I wanna do is requires a fair bit of time

which frankly seems to not exist often in the PU

[obtuse ibex]

3.9 wacked down the performance enough for me to be unable to play, waiting for my shadow pc to be activated in august

[blissful thorn]

Its just this server side stuff, its not worth my time to try get on the PU, spend about an hour either setting myself up to Haul, be in the middle of hauling, or middle of a mining run

just to lose it all

[obtuse ibex]

I did a full freelancer haul recently for 25k aUEC, got a 30k error literally half a minute after selling all my good

luck escape that

[regal notch]

yeah and waiting for a 4.0 is even better option atm 😄

[fossil tree]

where should i go to mine with a prospector?

base ship, no upgrades

[rich bane]

Moons yela, daymar or cellin is your best bet

[fossil tree]

cool ty

[rich bane]

astreoid fields are really good right now too

but almost all asteroids i encouter are obove 4k mass

Stock head can do max mosly 3.5k tons and medium hardness

[fossil tree]

i tried to do asteroids yesterday and every one i broke instantly disappeared

[rich bane]

Funny, i never encountered this issue

[fossil tree]

yeah, second i broke it first time just poof

[blissful thorn]

Its happened to me a bit

I havent done any asteriod mining since 3.9

but it was issue in 3.8

really hit or miss depending on the location

[plush holly]

is it possible to buy from the klescher prison?

[hollow sedge]

Does anyone know where to sell SLAM in 3.9??? A friend of mine bought 360k worth and the terminals are no where to be found..

[winter niche]

what trading item has the highest profit margin for a freelancer

[plush holly]

probably widow

or some other vice

[hollow sedge]

stay away from slam right now

can't sell it anywhere

[marsh osprey]

did they change something in mining

im having trouble to break anykind of rock going solo with mole

i cant break even 4k mass rocks

with 100% laser

[atomic lark]

im having an awful time scanning for rocks, i feel like they vanish?

fly around the rocks @marsh osprey dont stay in the same spot

helps me

im just struggling to find these damn things

[rich bane]

Popperns

There is a trick

[atomic lark]

plz help me! lol

im having an awful time lol

[rich bane]

You mean Belt mining right+

[atomic lark]

yeah

[rich bane]

First full scan

if you find a spot

Start heading there

if you are near 8 to 10 km range

you can sart scanning with 70% power or so

So you can spawm in faster

[atomic lark]

im 4km from one rn

[rich bane]

The closer you are

Just spam ping

like 15 to 30% power

Rocks are there

when you get above 2km range

start hitting Left click to scan

Until icon appears

Also try to stay speed below 400

helps to

[atomic lark]

im going like 150 lol

[rich bane]

So how's it going, at finding?

Use 4x

[atomic lark]

whats 4x?

i found some

[rich bane]

scanner range

Use scroll wheel

[atomic lark]

ah ok

yeah i noticed going to far in doesnt work at all

[rich bane]

Trick is just to spawm pings at lower strnght

so you can just kep spamming and spamming

keep*

[atomic lark]

yes thats helping alot

ty

[rich bane]

This trick pretty much works on asteroid fields only

and i think this is the way, how it's meant to be done

Using full strenght scan wont get you anywhere

Cause SCan box aint central to a rock

It used to be, but not anymore

[atomic lark]

yeah it was getting me frustrated lol

thank you for explaining it to me

what % of quantanium is worth mining?

first time ive seen this one and its not on my cheat sheet

[rich bane]

Well i'm extremly picky

I would mine anything above 10%

[atomic lark]

same, ive been as well

[rich bane]

but purity matters to

Like

[atomic lark]

but i dont know anything about quantanium

[rich bane]

18%60

or

18%13

second number is purity

So above 60, will mostly lilkely net you a rock with higher %

[atomic lark]

is that next to composition?

[rich bane]

You you see it, when you use scanner

to scan

just left click

you wont see purity with MIning head

But if i see a rock 17%14

i see it's 14, wich means quite low purity, but i still crack it first to make sure

[atomic lark]

i dont see purity at all

im scanning mode

[rich bane]

mabey i get lucky and get like 900kg mass chunk with high %

sorry for low quality image

But that second number is purity

[atomic lark]

i see where it is

ty

[rich bane]

But

Optimium is must have

Mining consumable

cause it's so hard to mine quantanium without it

way too unstable

Cause evern getting 1% overcharge, will result good chunk exploding

[atomic lark]

having the most trouble just cracking the big rock

[rich bane]

You have rental prospector?

[atomic lark]

im only renting so i cant get the better mining head

[rich bane]

I dont sadlt own rented prospector

but we used to change loadout in Self hanger

i'm sure sure if it still works in 3.9

But you can try to go back to mainmenu, and going self hanger

and try to change loadout via mobiglass

Mabey it still works

[atomic lark]

havnt bought the mining head yet

what are the tiny diamond symbols that show up

[rich bane]

Not sure what you mean ^^

[atomic lark]

just got 30k

but there was 3 tiny diamond / mineral icons on my asteroid

looked like little rocks attached to it

hand minables?

[rich bane]

it should be FPS hand minable

[atomic lark]

starting to get the hang of it though, ty for you help

[rich bane]

Mining is quite good in 3.9, since quantanium price is so high

But sad thing is, Stock mining head sucks

alot!

[atomic lark]

might have to look into the consumables to help make the first break

[rich bane]

The thing is, you can change consumables on rented ships

after 3.8.2

Since you now longer can change rental ships loadout in Universe

But it worked using SELF Hanger

But i dont know if it's fixed in 3.9 or not

That's the reason why i bought prospector via bledge store

didn't know we could do that

But i dont regret anyways, at least i will always have it

[atomic lark]

yeah i may upgrade i dunno, ill see how much i like it

[rich bane]

But i like mining alot

that's also the reason

[atomic lark]

its good money

my first run got my 46k

[rich bane]

But Ship scanners are bugged after 3.9

on moons

impossible to detect anything over 3km

But scanner works fine in Astreoid belt

I just did a run 1 hour ago, took me 30minutes on belt

got me 170k

[atomic lark]

nice

[rich bane]

got over 100k from one quantanium rock

17%48

[atomic lark]

ah very nice

[rich bane]

6.2k tons

Why you need to be picky

[atomic lark]

yeah

[rich bane]

cause, if you mine a shit quantanium rock

the timer will start

[atomic lark]

it will be easier now that i can find these

[rich bane]

and you wont have much time to mine

[atomic lark]

what timer?

[rich bane]

quantanium is unstable

after 10 minutes or so you will start to hear beeping

another 10 and you'r ship will explode

But you can also Eject quantanium

[atomic lark]

oh wow

[rich bane]

So might get a rock, that aint that good

but want to keep searching

you can eject it

Btw there is also good mining guide, i suggest you to read it, best guide out there

https://www.space4games.com/en/star-citizen-en/star-citizen-the-ultimate-mining-guide/id-1047/

Will probably get update soon, since 3.9 is out

[atomic lark]

thats what i have up

[rich bane]

okay

It's just biggest enemy for Traders and miners are Game crashes

But i really hope in future they add different variants of Prospector with different mining heads.

The better head the higher rental price

cause

Stock head is really bad

makes renting a prospector almost useless

[spare mulch]

What’s the best place to mine in 3.9?

[atomic lark]

yeah ive found alot of good rocks

i cant break any of them lol

[marsh osprey]

stock mining head on the mole sucks, how can a s2 be so bad

i tried going solo and it was a pain in the ass

[atomic lark]

its very bad

[spare mulch]

Well, for solo mining you should have gotten the prospector

And the basic mining head isn’t designed for mining the high tier material

You need the helix for that

[atomic lark]

but you cant put the helix on a rented ship?

so no point renting anymore?

[rich bane]

Ehm

Try going back to main menu, and go self hanger

open mobiglass

and under ship costumization meanu

do you have RED lock on?

If not, then probably it still works

Changes will transfer to open universe

[atomic lark]

is it worth getting a head besides the helix?

[rich bane]

i think yes

you can get hofstede mining head

i think it's called

12.5k

Much better then stock

[atomic lark]

wont let me buy it lol

ahhh

[rich bane]

how so

[atomic lark]

buy button is greyed out

[rich bane]

lol why

[atomic lark]

i dunni

ok

i got it,had to back out and go back in

ok going to hanger

[rich bane]

okay

i hope you bought Size 1 😄

[atomic lark]

i did

so i just do this via mobi glass?

[rich bane]

yah

inside hanger

pretty much like in universe ^^

hopefully it aint locked

[atomic lark]

it let me

so lets see if its on in universe

[rich bane]

okay

[atomic lark]

seems to have worked

[rich bane]

Oh nice

so it seems it still works in 3.9

In futre you should be able to equip Mining consumables to

You need to do it same way

[atomic lark]

ah ok

[rich bane]

quick shortcut is left alt 1 / left alt 2 and left alt 3

[atomic lark]

cant retrieve it lol

ahhh

gonna server hop

[rich bane]

server hopping never worked for me

i just went different station like grim hex

[atomic lark]

alright ill try that if this fails

[rich bane]

THe way you use Mining consumable like optimum is

You crack the quantanium ore first

without it

then use boost on smaller ores

since small ores are extremly unstbale

[atomic lark]

makes sense

[rich bane]

unstable*

But keep in mind, 1 boost cost 3k 😄

30 second window

[atomic lark]

it rest back to basic one

damn

[errant lark]

does astroid field scanning always say theres nodes there but then theres not

[atomic lark]

scroll up and read mine and mojiko convo, he just helped me with it

[hollow sedge]

Has anyone figured out where SLAM can be sold yet? CRU-L5 does not seem to have the trading console anymore so are there any alternatives?

[atomic lark]

grimhex?

[hollow sedge]

I've never sold slam, or vice for that matter - can it be sold there?

[atomic lark]

it used to be

dont buy to much though, no place ever takes that much at once

[hollow sedge]

I'll check it out, thank you.

[errant lark]

I looked through the chat, I dont see a fix for shit scanning

Mojiko says its fine in yalls conversation

[hollow sedge]

Invested ~150K

[atomic lark]

it is fine

you have to go shorter and shorter power of scanning

and it works fine

if you do that

[rich bane]

btw

dont forget to unequip stuff from rental ship, before it expires

otherwise you lose it

[atomic lark]

i already lost it

the basic one re-equiped and now that other one is gone

[rich bane]

i knew there is bug to, where loadout stuff dissapearss randomly

sometimes it can accure

at least happened to me once

after i claimed ship

[atomic lark]

yep

i went to grimhex to claim and it was gone

[late spruce]

I am trying to land at Lorville Gate 02 but autopilot keeps turning me away, is there a specific way I need to approach it or do I need to land and get over there somehow?

[agile crow]

what is autopilot?

[real zodiac]

control override at cities

[spare flint]

anyone know a good route for cater?

@late spruce fly in from straight above the pad

If anyone knows of any good routes for the cater please DM me or ping me in a message with some info please, thank you

[half grotto]

Check the pins in here, and try it out in #🤖┃bot_commands

[lyric schooner]

is the rented prospecter usable to mine in asteroid belt? or do u need upgraded tool

[static cosmos]

Asteroids wre still broken as of last night, they disappear right after being fractured.

[lyric schooner]

ah ok why i asked is if u can even fracture them with the standard tool?

[errant lark]

I think i broke the bit of my mining laser? I ran into a rock

so like is it gone gone?

I saw it flying aay

away*

[half grotto]

Self destructing and claiming should bring it back

[mortal linden]

Did anyone try to move Diamonds from facilities on Hurston to Lorville after last patch?

[hollow sedge]

. . .

What is this shit money

;-;

Time to go mine once again and hope I find Quantanium

[mortal linden]

50% of your cargo is inert materials.

On a proper Prospector I personally skip rocks that have less than 3% of Bexalite/Laranite/Agricium OR less than 10% Hephaestanite/Titanium/Diamond/Gold OR less than 20% of Copper/Beryl/Tungsten
And I don't pick up chunks that have more than 20% innert materials.

When was testing rented Prospector in 3.8.2, I also was skipping rocks heavier than 4K. Profits were around 40K-50K/h

[hollow sedge]

Hmm

I have been doing the mining with rocks chucks that have more than 10% of Diamond/Hephaestanite/Agricium but I still do end up getting too many of inert materials :c

I wish you could break the rocks down even more

Wait how do you even know if something has more than 20% of inert materials?

For me the chunks show either the ores or that there is only inert materials in the rock

I have been doing rocks till 5.5k

Depending on if the temperature increases in a min or not

If it keeps jumping too much, i quit

[mortal linden]

If you scan a chunk and it says "10% Diamonds, 20% Quarts" it means that the rest 70% of this chunk are inert materials

[hollow sedge]

Hmm

So you say I skip them then?

[mortal linden]

Yup

Well, IMO.

I didn't invest much time in figuring out what tactic is better for profit/time - taking eveything, or hunting for good stuff.

I just like to see big numbers when I return to sell my rocks. 😄

[lyric schooner]

do u fps mine while going with prospector?

[mortal linden]

I don't, cuz I mine at Yela

[astral niche]

If I buy a better Ship, will I have less disconnects?

[mortal linden]

No

[hollow sedge]

I just like to see big numbers when I return to sell my rocks
Same

[mortal linden]

If you buy CIG, tho...

[hollow sedge]

I just want to recoup my losses so that I can return to doing cargo runs tbh

[lyric schooner]

is the scanner showing fps mineables?

[hollow sedge]

If I can get to 200k, then trading will be back up with my nice profits

[mortal linden]

Only select ships can scan for mineables, inclidung FPS stuff

Basic rule for trading - never invest more that 1/3 of your bank.

[hollow sedge]

I invest half

Trading is basically gambling

[mortal linden]

Yeah...

If you have Caterpillar you can trade Scrap. It's stable and safe 80K/hour

[lyric schooner]

yea thats why im mining lost money from bugs

[hollow sedge]

Wew

Sadly I don't have any caterpillars :c

[mortal linden]

I mined to buy a Cat.

[hollow sedge]

I hear there's some pirate caterpillar for completing pirate swarm game mode?

[mortal linden]

Worth it.

[hollow sedge]

Hmm

How's the jump drive on it?

[mortal linden]

I hear there's some pirate caterpillar for completing pirate swarm game mode?
you unlick nd option to buy/upgrade to it for $

IIRC

[hollow sedge]

oh

What is it's price?

[mortal linden]

On cat? It's good.

~$270

[hollow sedge]

Affordable

[mortal linden]

I mined to get one instead, not affordable for me. 😄

[hollow sedge]

I have a max already so I will just need to put another $100

Kek

Alright I will do another mine run

Hope this time I come back with good profits

[regal notch]

How's the jump drive on it?
@hollow sedge Pontes = 3RD fastest = 1ST less consuming of the 3 😄

[mortal linden]

Well, not atm. First unemployment payout - $20

[hollow sedge]

First world problems

[astral niche]

Best Starting advice (assuming the game doesnt disconnect) Is to exclusively only do missions from COVALEX. and Only From Moons to Other Moon. Avoid any place the has Subways or Elevators.
ArcCorp Moons (Wala, Lyria)
Crusader (Daymar, Yela, Cellin)
Hurston (Arial, Aberdeen, Magda, Ita)
They are 6000 Credits a delivery

Memorize those names

[mortal linden]

Took me a month to get it

[regal notch]

1 mount 20$ ... that's not right

[lyric schooner]

how much auec was it ingame?

[regal notch]

4.7M = 4.686.600

[lyric schooner]

thats a lot of mining 😄

[hollow sedge]

Delivery is risky

Sometimes my net is unstable

[mortal linden]

It's 2 weeks of mining for me

[hollow sedge]

And i dont really like the other systems yet

[lyric schooner]

i have a rented pros now so i need my own to change mining heads first

pretty slow and have to skip rocks

[mortal linden]

Well, prospector is only 2M

[lyric schooner]

thats still a lot for me

not lpaying that long yet and lost a lot while trading 😄

but ye soon

[jaunty ginkgo]

I'll have to do trades to get back the 100K so I can slap that Helix on my prospector.

Should be a good time.

[astral niche]

Has there ever been a time where cargo, items on a ship persist thru disconnects?

[mortal linden]

No

Well... Sometimes, if you/server crash close to a station/city, your ship gets successfully saved there. Sometimes. Almost never.

[regal notch]

server mash not here so no . but there should not be frequent disconnections when they put on server mash 😄

yep it is like that

[burnt echo]

I've applied @rich bane excellent advice for mining asteroids (see his earlier posts). However I'm stilling finding that half the time I'm chasing shadows. For example, I get to with 4-2km spamming the scan at ~30% power and x16 (or close to that) and suddenly the ping disappears and i pick up something 10Km+ away and the whole process starts again. I'm not going fast (under red line), am i just being stupid or is there something I'm doing wrong, like have i decreased scan area too small /targeted - maybe x16 is too much?

(I try to keep the area of the scanner to roughly the size of the ping grid)

[worldly wraith]

I still face the issue of disappearing asteroids 😮

[rich bane]

@fidoedidoe I use different method now, works 90% of the time, I use 4x only, first full scan then, when I get a ping I start heading there , the closer I get, the the lower strength scan I apply. At 5km, you can even spamm scanner at 15-30 and it still detects it.

I'll probably make short video later in the day to explain it.

But dissapearing asteroid is a second thing ^^

Haven't encountered that myself

Just encountered some asteroids Wich are no scannable nor minable

[woeful gazelle]

In my experience the wild goose chase pings usually happen when there's a cluster of minables (like 5+). these usually don't contain quantainium so I've decided to mostly ignore these unless I find them directly. if you switch to your mining laser you see what type of asteroids they are (p-type, e-type, m-type or q-type) and I think that only q-types can contain Quantainium.

[hollow sedge]

Fuck this shit, I am out. Back to trading

[lyric schooner]

good luck 😄

[real zodiac]

Is the 107k mining head worth its price ?

[distant sapphire]

every penny

[real zodiac]

atm i've the 23k one

[distant sapphire]

hofstede is good intermediate until you can afford helix

[real zodiac]

its pretty much all the money i have but i guess it would be a life changer

i can buy the 107k rn

[plain basin]

Hello everybody
At the moment I have the problem that I can't mine with the procpector anymore, because every time the alarm in the hold comes and I have to stop mining. Then I have to go back to the next station and if I want to sell the material I get almost nothing for it.Even with the really valuable materials, has anyone had similar experiences?

I thought this should only happen with quantinium, because this material is so unstabile. But with me the alarm comes with every material and always shortly after the first loa

[fringe kayak]

is it possible to change the mining head on a rented Prospector or still not ?

[rich bane]

I think it still works, if you do it under Self hanger

By going back main menu and opening self hanger

[woeful gazelle]

@plain basin maybe try blowing your ship up and claiming it at the station so it "resets"

you can trigger self destruct from the pilot's seat with backspace (doesn't work in an armistice zone though)

[warm belfry]

somyeone know a nice cargo route?

[supple kelp]

Diamonds from tram & Myers to cbd in lorville @warm belfry

Then buy scrap at cbd to sell at po

[arctic blaze]

@warm belfry paradise cove to orinth

[elder verge]

@supple kelp how hard is it to land at Lorville with all the wind?

[rich bane]

I heard some players may have hard time finding minables in belts, so i decide to make a short video, about how i do it. Sorry english ain't my native language, so i tried to explain best i could.

This method works only in Belts "asteroid mining" not in moons

Since scanner is quite buggy itself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp7C84llrEA&feature=youtu.be

[warm belfry]

thank mate, you are kind

[supple kelp]

@elder verge it’s really not that hard if you take it steadily

[patent canopy]

very happy with this run

[silver dove]

guys the scan is the same like 3.8.2?

Why I think that it's more difficult now

[meager osprey]

the mustang alpha still has no cargo 5 years later? nice

[supple kelp]

What’s the best drug route?

[lyric schooner]

i get volatile cargo message but i dont have any cargo

anybody had that?

[hollow sedge]

So I finally had my chance to get to some hidden place in Yela. Don't think it was JumpTown. Anyways I bought some Etam and holy shit is it hard to sell it off at Grim Hex

I guess that side of things bring in good profits but take a lot more time to rake that profit in?

100% Agricium? wtf

@patent canopy did you achieve that by only mining 100% ore rocks?

[patent canopy]

yes

found some really nice rocks

I did a better run tho mining impure stuff

[hollow sedge]

._.

[hollow sedge]

I have had bad luck with mining or finding good chunks :c

GG

Inert materials still around 1% though

[opal crow]

my prospector keeps changing colors 🤷‍♂️

[viscid vine]

actually I have not been able to look at a lot of 3.9 trade data, since I have been too busy otherwise... @supple kelp

[supple kelp]

Thats fine

I don’t think any trade routes were changed but I may be wrong

[viscid vine]

well we got some new around microtech, and the hidden terminals for drug trading have vanished, other than that I have not heard of any big changes

[supple kelp]

I see...

[plush holly]

can someone recommend a good freelancer (66) run please

[hollow sedge]

Just when my trade was going good and i decided to invest all my money to make more profits, I bugged out of my freelancer max. Well more like the ship bugged out of me and lost it all

[errant lark]

which moons of Micrtech have yall had success with?

[tiny sinew]

I've run into a problem that I'm hoping is solvable. On a cargo run, I filled up my cargo bay with a lot of uec worth of Diamonds, but then the game crashed. My ship was "safely" stored at Shubin Mining Facility SAL2, but I can't spawn it! Every time I try it says "Our automated system was unable to access your ship..." The ship still shows up in the trading console but I can't sell back my cargo.

Is there any hope for me?

[static cosmos]

Anyone had luck with asteriods recently? Just saw someone in GLobal saying they were suprised as hell they were able to fully mine 2

[rich bane]

for me mining feels better at asteroids then on moons

Since scanner is quite scuffed on moons, after 3.9

[lyric schooner]

Mining asteroids is working fine for me

[dawn hound]

And me. I’ve made over a million uec in the last five days.

[still valley]

New to cargo deliveries. Looking to do runs with Freelancer, any recommendations / tips?

[static cosmos]

hmmm awesome thansk for the updates on the asteroids

[fossil tree]

can you buy the helix mining laser at PO?

[static cosmos]

yes

[fossil tree]

dumpers depo?

[static cosmos]

yar

[fossil tree]

cant seem to find it

[static cosmos]

on the terminal?

[fossil tree]

okay ill just look harder

yes

[static cosmos]

First tab, bottom options are the mining lasers

or it might be the next to last

Mining heads is what its claled

[fossil tree]

okay yeah im blind

was looking in weapons

[static cosmos]

I feel you

[fossil tree]

size 1 for prospector correct?

[rich bane]

yah it's size 1 for prospector

[dawn hound]

I thought you couldn’t buy the helix in PO.

[scenic heath]

You mention mining at asteroids @rich bane, by prospector or hand mining?

[runic plover]

@tiny sinew if your ship got stored at a land facility thats interesting

all outpost terminals are bugged rn

[atomic lark]

Astroid mining is working fine for me

Via prospector

[rich bane]

Prospector

[scenic heath]

Huh. Means I need to rent one then

But what can you do when you're poor both ingame and irl

[static cosmos]

8k mass 47.12 quantainium.......wat

[scenic heath]

Isnt that the new material @static cosmos?

[static cosmos]

ya

[scenic heath]

Is it worth a lot?

[static cosmos]

yesss

but its volitale so you gotta be careful

[scenic heath]

Pepehands

Guess I'll do some drug runs tomorrow to scrape together money to rent a prospector. It sounds quite lucrative

[static cosmos]

cant really doti on a rented one

[scenic heath]

I mean, I know the mining mounts are different as you cant upgrade a rented one, but regardless, you should still be able to crack most rocks. At least it worked fine last time I rented a prospector back in 3.7 or 3.6

[atomic lark]

You can upgrade a rented one

Just have to do it in your hanger

[supple kelp]

Didn’t know they

[atomic lark]

I managed to do it earielr

[scenic heath]

Oh

Interesting

[atomic lark]

Just gotta be careful, as i did have a mining head vanish

Luckly it wasnt the helix

[static cosmos]

the heads 100K for it

so i wouldnt risk that right now olol

[atomic lark]

Even the one thats 12 k is way better than the stock one

[static cosmos]

ya but nost quant nodes are 60+ reist

resist that ive seen

[atomic lark]

Yeah you cant do quantianum

[static cosmos]

evcen with helix some of those are rough

[atomic lark]

But you can get the larinate ones that you cant with the stock

So its worth it

The stock one really, really sucks

But i did end up putting the helix on the rented one

Its very nice

[static cosmos]

worse thing bout where im mining, soon as the quant alarm starts I gotta go

if I screw up by even like 12 secs I wont have enough time to store my ship lol

[atomic lark]

I just mine it and go sell it right away

But i was mining yela belt and selling port o

So travel time was easy and short

But sometimes after selling the alarm would still go off

So id just jettison the nothing, problem solved

[static cosmos]

lol 146k

[atomic lark]

Nice

[static cosmos]

off that one rock lol

[atomic lark]

Its good money for sure

[static cosmos]

was a bitch to break up

8k+ Mass 60+ resistance lol was def worth it though

[atomic lark]

The consumables can be very helpful

I like the optimal one and the stampede one

[static cosmos]

havent even done those yet

I should

[atomic lark]

Yeah its worth it

Optimal is great for cracking the small quant rocks

It increases green zone for 30 seconds

Like 3k auec for a stack of 5

[static cosmos]

hmmm

[scenic heath]

So what is the best locations for mining then?

🤔

[static cosmos]

on the rental?

doesnt really matter on that, pick a place you like and go

[scenic heath]

I just changed my Freelancer Max to a prospector Didnt cost me anything so

[static cosmos]

not bad

[tiny sinew]

@runic plover Yup, it got stored at Shubin Mining Facility SLA2

[static cosmos]

theres a screen shot above a bit that has some decent location info,

[rich bane]

Yela belt is probably best for mining atm

[scenic heath]

And then drop off at Olisar I assume

[rich bane]

Since scanners are scuffed atm

Yup

Scanner world fine on belts, but on moons

It's too weam

[atomic lark]

Yeah, yela belt is nice

[rich bane]

Weak*

[atomic lark]

And port o is close

Just stay away from grim hex

[scenic heath]

Fair enough, guess I'll jump on and check

That is, if it actually changed my ship by now

[inland scarab]

anyone have a current Ore prices chart ?

[fossil tree]

am i doing something wrong when every asteroid i break instantly disappears?

[inland scarab]

@fossil tree it happend to me.... to fix it change from Mine to Collect back and forth make sure you have the Stability number shown and not something wierd like "RUL_17"

[fossil tree]

kk ill try that, ty

eh still happening, and stability number looks fine, guess back to yela

[inland scarab]

Yala Larnite only

best deal right now

[fossil tree]

havent found much of that there, just agricium and quantainium

[inland scarab]

agricium \ larnite only.... trust me

[fossil tree]

ok, cool ty

[static cosmos]

quants only really worth it if you find 10% + in a higher mass rock

better chance at 60%+ Pieces

[lyric schooner]

is po more payout then grimhex?

[inland scarab]

SERVERS CRASHED ?

cant press the F key .... wtf

[hollow sedge]

best mining laser for prospector is still helix 1?

[lyric schooner]

yes

[hollow sedge]

kk ty

[scenic heath]

Lesson learned, asteroid mining is very unprofitable per hour if you dont have the best mining laser as you miss a lot of rocks that you cant mine

[lyric schooner]

my asteroid luck is rly bad rn

[scenic heath]

My luck is always bad

Although I did find a rock with 38% Quantanium

That I couldnt mine

[lyric schooner]

thats a lot of money

and here i am finding 1% titanium + 15% aluminium

[scenic heath]

That I missed, yes

[onyx hull]

hi.. I was just wondering where to sell slam.. the hidden consoles are gone now

[static cosmos]

Uhhh not salavge shit theers another place to sell them

Might be salvage

[onyx hull]

gee.. I spent all my money on SLAM...

[lyric schooner]

i had cargo full of quantanium and some guy attacked me at PO

lost 900 units still made 120k

[scenic heath]

Fuck me

another 30%+ rock i cant mine

[lyric schooner]

give me

but 30%+ is rly hard without consumables i think

i had a 18% one and it was kinda hard and i dont have consumables 😄

[scenic heath]

yes

but think of the 💰

[lyric schooner]

yes if u find a good quant rock its a lot of money

[tropic barn]

how to earn money faster with 70k

where to buy consumables

[scenic heath]

yes if u find a good quant rock its a lot of money
@lyric schooner

• if you can break it

[lyric schooner]

sure thats the important part

helix I is ur friend

[mortal linden]

Did a few cargo runs. Back at 1M. Had 2 30Ks, but didn't lose anything to them. Enough stress for today. 😄

[inland sigil]

any good resources for cargo routes?

[mortal linden]

What ship do you have?

[inland sigil]

cat

haven't played in ages

[mortal linden]

Scrap from CRU L1 - PO.

Safest route atm because of damn 30Ks.

~30K profit per run

[inland sigil]

how much capital up front for it to be worth it?

[mortal linden]

~80K

[inland sigil]

oh damn, nice margins

thanks for the help man

[mortal linden]

It's best margins cargo atm

iirc

[inland sigil]

i'll just do ecn's and shit until i get 80k lol

would you happen to know the best QD for cat, and where it's sold?

[mortal linden]

You can also drop some Agricium-Gold-Quarts runs into the mix from Kudre Ore at Daymar to PO. Up to 1.4M (and a few hours, if you going full Agricium) to fill the Cat, with 8-17% profit.

would you happen to know the best QD for cat, and where it's sold?
Stock is good

[inland sigil]

awesome thanks

[mortal linden]

You can also drop some Agricium-Gold-Quarts runs into the mix from Kudre Ore at Daymar to PO. Up to 1.4M (and a few hours, if you going full Agricium) to fill the Cat, with 8-17% profit.
But... I'd recommend not to do so atm.

Stick to 20%+ profit cargo.

[inland sigil]

yea I'll stick with the scrap runs once i make a lil bit of money

thanks for all the tips

[mortal linden]

Basic rule - don't trade with more than a third of your bank.

[inland sigil]

the first few may have to be YOLOs....

channel the power of wallstreetbets

[mortal linden]

Do you need a gunner/escort? 😄

Or, maybe, a cook?

[inland sigil]

haha not playing for too much longer tonight, but thanks for the offer

[lyric schooner]

how do u use the consumables while mining?

found it

🙂

[topaz talon]

Whats a good cargo runm

[static cosmos]

Whats the general time from when you extract quantainium till it goes boom? 10 mins?

[lyric schooner]

after 10 minutes u get warning

then u have 10 minutes to get something done with it afaik

since its worth so much money i go and sell even if cargo not completely full after getting a good % just to stay in time limit

[stone shoal]

Anyone know a good cargo route? I'm trying to get back on my feet after the whole 3.9 fiasco.

Wiped me clean...well basically. I had 10K aUEC

lost over 1M...smh

[lyric schooner]

im doing mining because i encountered so many bugs while doing cargo i dont want to be broke 😄

[mortal linden]

👆

[stone shoal]

yeah, I keep crashing right when I walk up to a terminal to sell.

I might have to rent a prospector

like...eventually

in like a year...when I have enough aUEC

[hollow sedge]

Is it worth upgrading 315p to Reliant Sen, just for its ability to scan minables?

[mortal linden]

I'd say no. For FPS mining you can just go to any cave and find rocks this way.

[hollow sedge]

Unless you specifically start the investigation mission, most of the standard caves are usually deserted from all minables.

[mortal linden]

IDK, last time I mined in caves, I had no problem filling backpack with Hadanite. And even if marked ones are empty, investigation missions are extremely common.

And if you're planning to have a mining scout vessel to support mining crew, I still think that upgrading now is not the best idea. They gonna redo scanning at some point and add scanner modules. Maybe even 315p will be a good enough scout.

[rich bane]

Scanner on mole and prospector is broken anyways after 3.9 so

Not sure about reliant

But mole and prospector no longer detect fps minables

At least for me

[mortal linden]

Prospector was highlighting them for me.

[hollow sedge]

Looking at the speed they keep "Redo-ing" stuff.
It can take years before they even touch scanning.

[mortal linden]

True, true...

[hollow sedge]

And i always have a P-72 to upgrade as well.

[mortal linden]

Maybe ignore scanning for mineables and compare 2 ships that way.

[rich bane]

Scanner issues were already reported, so hopefully we get fix next patch

[lyric schooner]

i hope so

[rich bane]

2-4km Max scan radius on moons is way too scuffed

[lyric schooner]

scanning and nothing happening is also rly annoying

[rich bane]

And I doubt they want mole owners to be unhappy about their purchase

But right now there are bigger issues with databases and persistence

Players losing uec etc

[lyric schooner]

true

[tropic barn]

how to trade right now

can i still buy scraps from CBD then sell it at junkyard?

[mortal linden]

Kinda. Here's a tool you can use to find routs:
https://gallog.co/trading/

There are also other route tools out there, if this one doesn't suit you.

[tropic barn]

this one was able to show the route between CBD and junkyard before

right now it is not

and this site was advised Medical Supplies to buy low and sell high, however IIRC many places won't able to buy Medical Supplies in huge amounts

so it is a trap that you cost so much cash and forced to AFK for long time to sell all those cargo

[lyric schooner]

true medical supplies isnt worth picking up

[tropic barn]

yes but that site is idiot

he don't know that

and he still suggests that

[lyric schooner]

i dont know bout the site but u can still adapt routes u see there

pretty sure its not "idiot" maybe not completely updated to 3.9

[tropic barn]

iirc, Stim is just bad as MS as cargo running too due to same problem

yes it looks so profit, but it takes huge amount of time to sell all those stims

[lyric schooner]

u could leave ur ship there do different stuff and sell now and then

[dusky python]

can someone help me i want to unlock the catipiller in the store

think i have to beet pirate storm or something but it never starts cause nobody joins the miltiplayer and i cant beat it in solo

[next flint]

i havent beat it either, im down to try it though

[lyric schooner]

what ship do u need to beat that?

[next flint]

ive never even tried it

[teal mountain]

@dusky python right now, you can not buy the caterpillar; beating pirate swarm will allow you to get the pirate version, but only when the normal one is on sale (as far as I know)

really? guess I'm wrong then

oh, you're right; I see it too

[supple kelp]

What is the recommended ship to beat it with?

Seriously?

An aurora?

[scenic heath]

Pepehands

150 dollars short to buy a cat

[dusky python]

will someone help me unlock it please

im terable at dog fighting

if someone sucsesfuly helps me unlock it i will give the 100k euc

[teal mountain]

best bet is asking/hanging around in #looking-for-session @dusky python

[dusky python]

its all good i finaly did it in a freelancer lol

its unlocked now

[harsh oak]

Should I be moving my laser around for best energy transfer or is it better to just leave it in one spot

[dusky python]

that dont matter but the closer you get the more power you put into i have found

[teal mountain]

haha, nice

[dusky python]

now my launcher is giving a fit

no launch game button

[tropic barn]

how to go Calliope Anvic

i can't find any details

and people seems buying toilet paper for trade run?

[harsh oak]

Where’s some good selling spots? Haven’t had any luck finding a location that’s actually accepting minerals

[lyric schooner]

u mean mined ore?

[scenic heath]

Is it possible to rent/buy the Argo Mole in-game btw?

[rich bane]

Negative

[jaunty ginkgo]

Is that HAM SOLO?

[opal crow]

oh this one isnt too bad 😄 \

[lyric schooner]

that looks nice

[raw palm]

Anyone here using a Sen for FPS mining in 3.9?

[silver dove]

Guys the scan is the same like it was in 3.8.2,?

[lyric schooner]

no the asteroid is not in the middle of the box but can be everywhere in it and scanning on moons is kinda bugged cause its only 2km range

[rapid heron]

Could anyone teach me how to run cargo I'm new to the game! I have two ships!

[opal crow]

now its orange

[uneven maple]

Hi I am trying to mine however I keep picking up a lot of inert material.
Is there any way of dumping it at all ?

[short tapir]

Now i tried a few diffrent trade route finders, but not sure which to go with, which one do you recommend ?

[upbeat loom]

If you spooled up those inert, you cant dump it out

[silver dove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqYMaQ0sjPw&feature=youtu.be guys do you have the same problrm with terrain of the moons??

plz check the video full screen

[static cosmos]

@silver dove you mean the warping/popping?

If so then no

[kindred prairie]

@uneven maple They way to avoid that is to not extract (pick up) anything that you don't want to keep. If you're looking to mine substance X, decide in advance what % of X you find acceptable, and don't pick it up if it doesn't meet that number. For example, I won't pick up less than 75% Agricium, 50% Taranite, 25% Bexalite, etc.

[uneven maple]

Thank you @kindred prairie

[vernal birch]

is there some chart that shows the mining consumables and what they do

?

[opal robin]

Anybody know any profitable trade routes?

[astral niche]

Have the "Delivery for Covalex" been nerfed? The Missions says 6000, but at the end of the mission I get approx 1500

[tranquil dune]

I’m having a rather strange bug when I try to deliver packages on certain planets. Once I land the ship and get out of my seat, my ui disappears and everything is super spasmodic in movement and whatnot, and I can’t really interact with stuff and often drift through walls... only happens when I’m doing delivery missions on certain planets (yela/Microtech namely). Anybody else have this issue?

[dire locust]

hmm, is there any way to do trading with a freelancer and less than like 50k investment? been trying to get into the whole trade aspect but with lack of money it seems its not worth it until you get 300k and a Freelancer Max.

[mortal linden]

Hmm... You can try moving Diamons do Lorville from Wala or Cellin.

It'll be around 8K-10K profit.

[stone shoal]

You can move them to Levski for a smaller profit, but it's quicker than Lorville. I also have a shitty GPU so Lorville is death.

[harsh oak]

Lorville is also a mess atm because the wind throws everything

Good luck landing

[stone shoal]

I didn't know that was a thing. I haven't experienced it yet.

[harsh oak]

Even if your vehicle is in the hangar, it’ll get thrown by wind

There’s no mercy

[mortal linden]

IDK, I have problems landing at Lorville only in a Cat.

[harsh oak]

You’ll be ready to get in and your ship will fly across the room and stick to a wall

[hoary laurel]

lol

[mortal linden]

Off, just did a suicide run to Lorville. Most stressful thing I've done so far in this game.

[plush holly]

suicide run?

[mortal linden]

Spending all your bank on cargo.

[lyric schooner]

u broke ur own rule?

[mortal linden]

I brake it quite often. Cuz it's exciting 😄

Also, 200K of profit from one run is tempting.

[naive maple]

OK y’all... I’ve got a bit of a dilemma, well a long-term choice at least...
Prospector or Freelancer MAX?
Aside from the comparable earning capabilities, the realization nagging me is that, either workhorse, once I earn $6 million aUEC, I’m buying a Caterpillar (aka Money Printer). So if that’s the case, would I ever use the MAX again? (My only real $ pledge ship is an Origin 315p Pathfinder) Só the MAX would allow me to transport my ground vehicles, but if you own a Caterpillar, would you ever do trade with a MAX? At least you could still Mine with a Prospector... but would you, given owning a Caterpillar?
So, Mining Vessel or Toy Hauler? Is that all either is good for after earning a Caterpillar? Is there some angle I’m not seeing?
Any input or perspective would be welcome, thx in advance!

[lyric schooner]

i went for the prospecter cause given the current situation with bugs and disconnects trading comes with so much risk so i prefer mining cause if u dc u only loose that cargo and dont pay money beforehand

so ye ill do mining until cat and even then i dont know if i will only do runs with ca

t

[cerulean viper]

@naive maple I'm kinda in the same boat. I'll be buying the prospector since quantanium seems to be so profitable

[naive maple]

Can you haul ground vehicles with a Caterpillar?

[short tapir]

@naive maple I gotta ask where did you get the Caterpillar from? (apparently i can throw my real money towards it )

(i tried throwing them at the screen but that didnt work now there is just money everwhere)

[naive maple]

You can buy a Caterpillar in-game with aUEC... I saw it on a BoredGamer YouTube video... Levski I think

[short tapir]

nice thanks i wonder how much it cost hmm

[naive maple]

6 mil aUEC

[short tapir]

saw the cat yesterday its a big ass master piece ship! love it

nice too bad we get set back now and then (so you will lose it)

[naive maple]

Money printing machine is what it is! $200k per trade run!

[short tapir]

sweeeet!!

but again if im to buy it ingame i mnight as well wait for lrelease (i dont like to lose my ships haha)

Just got the andromeda as a loaner (it only holds 96 i belive it is) (waiting for the taurun)

taurus

[naive maple]

Hahaha... but meanwhile it allows you to buy and try anything you want from ships to. Components to load outs...?whatevrr

[short tapir]

yeah i think so

With the andromeda you can get like 4.8 k profit thats it 😦

not something you get rich by doing hehe

[naive maple]

No... the regular Freelancer trading Agricium is $24k per run, another $12k returning with Med Supplies (don’t do it, pain in the ass to sell)... so with that math, you are looking at $35k + profit trading Agricium or Laranite with the Andromeda!

That’s per trip!

Go to gallog.co

[short tapir]

@naive maple I just wrotye you a pm

[lyric schooner]

if u follow gallog dont buy med supplies its not worth it

u cant rly sell them

[naive maple]

@naive maple I just wrotye you a pm
@short tapir I responded

Last question... can you get ground vehicles like the Cyclone and URSA into the Caterpillar?

[mortal linden]

6 mil aUEC
Cat in game is 4.6M

You can shove cyclone inside any of cargo modules, cuz I did it a few times already, don't know about Ursa.

You just need to find any hill to act like a ramp.

[burnt echo]

I've recently purchased a Prospector (~2.1m) and Caterpillar (~4.6m) using in game aUEC. In my limited experience Cat can earn big money (the day 3.9 launched i was making ~350K per hour, as nobody was trading, which earned m ~1.4m in ~4 hours). However until I become convinced 30Ks are less frequent (has 2 so far), I prefer mining (especially now with quantanium mining in belts - best single haul was 171k). Personal preference I guess, but I just feel the risk of losing lots of actual aUEC (filling up a Cat) vs losing potential money in mined ore (prospector) to a 30k error - the risk / reward for cargo is just too high for me (until proven otherwise).

[mortal linden]

Same. But I continue trade cuz I bought Cat only a week before 3.9.. Still celebrating. :D
I don't mind loosing cargo (ships, items, or whatever) to pirates, my f-ups, change of prices, wipes and so on. But loosing cargo to a bug I can't tolerate.

[short tapir]

Where is the trade terminal at area 18?

[tropic barn]

how to locate Quantanium easier? Yela belt? only Helix Head could mine it?

[marsh osprey]

this is from a 10min mining trip

[short tapir]

Anyone have any experience with the gallog.co site (and the accounts there)

[tropic barn]

where could find those

on planet only?

[fathom rock]

Anybody wants to mine together?

On a Argo mole

[atomic lark]

Ive been finding them in yela belt

But its hit or miss

Just keep searching, you’ll find one eventually

[marsh osprey]

does anybody know if you should change the powerplant on the mole, does it affects the mining laser?

[warm belfry]

i think no

[tropic barn]

where could find Quantanium

[still valley]

@fathom rock Hell yea :D

[tropic barn]

@marsh osprey would you mind tell me how to find Quantanium

[marsh osprey]

@tropic barn you can find it in every asteroid belt

i mine around yela

[lyric schooner]

i ahve rly bad luck today cant find any good asteroid

[narrow tulip]

Gallog is screwing me over right now

Losing money on cargo and wtf is with me supplies not selling?

[hollow sedge]

...

I made the mistake of filling up my freelancer with widow

Didn't know Grim Hec only bough a measly 6 SCU at a time

What do I do?

[mortal linden]

RIP

[hollow sedge]

Looks like Cru-L4 buys it at a really shit rate

[lyric schooner]

just leave ur freelancer there 😄

[mortal linden]

I spent 2 hours trying to mine asteroids. But my scanner just doesn't scan them. Ping works fine, scanning ships works fine, scanning asteroids - scanners goes NOPE. Same with mining tool. Tried on 6 different servers. 🤔

[hollow sedge]

Lmao

Rip

[warm belfry]

i had a lot of nice rock, and i got 30k

sad

[earnest lion]

Idrk how to do mining

I'd like to

[half grotto]

There's a great tutorial/article pinned

[earnest lion]

I'm 500k UEC out from being able to buy a Prospecter

[somber bobcat]

Anyone else getting stuck in their Prospector pilot seat when trying to exit?

Happened to me twice now.

[tropic barn]

does quantanium are more in belt but not planet surface?

[jovial berry]

yeah it's an issue @somber bobcat

you can however get back to whatever planet you took off from and suicide on the landing pad

to not lose the cargo

@tropic barn it's totally random, i've had more luck on yales belt

friend has had more luck on cellin

go figure

[tropic barn]

but the belt rock always got bigger one?

so a mole would be better?

[jovial berry]

tbh i haven't seen a rock that was more than 5.2k mass on yales belt since 3.9

did see rocks of 7K mass on yale itself and cellin

[tropic barn]

how aboult cilo

[jovial berry]

haven't went there, sticking to PO

[tropic barn]

@jovial berry WORTH?

seems way too less of %

or not

[somber bobcat]

@jovial berry When I get stuck exiting my seat, I'm unable to enter it again to pilot the ship. I'll just not exit until I land.

I've been finding lots of Quantainium on Clio (and Agricium), but Asteroid mining is much easier

[jovial berry]

@tropic barn i would crack it, then scan again for high percentage and if nothing pops up not bother cracking them again

@somber bobcat There's no reason for you to leave the pilot seat until you land back on the planet you are selling the ores at, therefore you land, exit seat - get stuck? hold backspace to suicide (on the landing pad) you respawn at that station and you can sell the stuff at the vendor

@tropic barn actually with that one, i wouldn't bother, too low mass, 3.5k is very low

[somber bobcat]

Well I do leave the seat to do hand mining, or to log out in the bed. But generally yes, no reason to leave the seat until landing.

[jovial berry]

this patch i'm not risking standing up anywhere but landing pads

with the prospector

[somber bobcat]

Totally agreed. I made an issue for it on the issue counsel because I couldn't find one already made.

[jovial berry]

found it 😉

[somber bobcat]

Ah good! Here's the link for others: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/community/issue-council/star-citizen-alpha-3/STARC-114336-Stuck_in_Prospector_pilot_seat_after_exiting_it

[jovial berry]

how's the scanner on planets now, finds anything on range longer than 2.5-3k?

[somber bobcat]

I seemed to find loads of rocks all over Clio, but nothing over 3k. I remember trying on Cellin and Yela in 3.8 and I'd go long stretches of finding nothing.

[jovial berry]

on 3.8 right before the update

id scan and it would show up 5-7k away

now... its like they nerfed it

that's why i stopped going to planets

[somber bobcat]

How's space mining? I heard the broken rocks tend to disappear.

And are you mining around Yela, or going to the halo belt, or elsewhere?

[jovial berry]

haven't had them disappear on me yet, only yale belt

qt to yale from po

then to grimhex

and go left or right, depending on mood

i usually don't go for anything that will bring me less then a 100k

so i get cargo upto 50% of any valuables

[jovial berry]

and then look for quantanium

that

IS ONE

sexy rock

[winter frigate]

And then CRY

when you catch a 30k

staring at that rock

[jovial berry]

ahhhhh ffs

😭

[winter frigate]

RIP

30k right as the third prospector got onsite

Never even got a chance at first crack

[jovial berry]

CIG employ sittin there, be like "oh, you found this? here, 30k"

[winter frigate]

Yuuuuup

[jovial berry]

had a similar rock but with 5.6k mass

same thing happened lol

[winter frigate]

Yeah, that was easily the biggest I've ever seen

[jovial berry]

my best run so far

[winter frigate]

Rare to see quant in 10%+

[jovial berry]

Godamn I need helix

Fuckin' rental has a garbage beam

[jovial berry]

imo prospector should be a starter ship

or sold with a game package XD

bought a sabre thanks to it

a titan for a friend

and i'm on 300k

thinking "why'd i go 950$ on pledges"

[somber bobcat]

Do you guys have to use consumables to mine Quantainium? I use a mouse wheel to set the power throttle and it's no good; I definitely need a joystick with a throttle paddle.

[half grotto]

@jovial berry it actually was for a while

[lyric schooner]

@somber bobcat i only use consumable if it has a rly high % otherwise ill do it without i also use mousewheel its fine if u get a feel for it

[somber bobcat]

@lyric schooner That's been my experience; if it's just a couple percentage points of Quantainium I can mine it without consumables, but if it's high I have to use them.

[lyric schooner]

yep also nearly blew up once cause i tried without 😄

[somber bobcat]

Haha, happened to me too. Blew up a rock with around 50% Quantainium in it and nearly killed myself

[tropic barn]

omfg

how to fix that prospector leaving bug

this bug fucked my quant. run

[lyric schooner]

dont press movement keys or any keys while u are in the animation of standing up i feel like that is causing it

[atomic lark]

rocks vanish everywhere but yela belt?

[amber root]

guys anyone know good trade routes

[static cosmos]

You can move around the rock/asteroid youre mining and it will change the numbers some, i try that prior to using any consumables

[errant lark]

is there a refinery in lorville

[somber bobcat]

Are there any space stations that you can sell ship-mined ore to beside Olisar?

[mortal linden]

is there a refinery in lorville
Yes, at Admin

[brazen trench]

Does anyone know a spot where I can sell a full load of e'tam?

[balmy panther]

I'm pretty sure anywhere you go will only take small amounts of e'tam. You'll have to take some time to sell the whole thing.

[brazen trench]

Ok thanks

People keep telling me not to do medical supplies :S why is it so hard to get wrid of them? (i mean on sc-trading.kamille.ovh there is a trip from yela to hur l1 with 9600 quantity (worth 22k in profit)

[prime flint]

Supply and demand

Jist because you jabe tjay mich. Doesn't mean it will sell immediately. For neon and etam i never buy more than 40k worth of each when buying. That usually just about sells immediately. No waiting around

[queen meadow]

is there any way to transfer Widow from one of my ships, to another of my ships?

[short tapir]

@prime flint right thanks. btw Kudre Ore is closed? as in you cant pick up trade stuff there? (it still shows on the trader site)

[mortal linden]

Lorville have a good demand for Medical supplies. ~7K.

There are 2 Kudre Ore places on Daymar. One is "Kudre Ore" - a mining facility, the other one - "Kudre Ore (closed)" - a cave.

is there any way to transfer Widow from one of my ships, to another of my ships?
Currently - no. Will probably be introduced with addition of cargo hangars

[short tapir]

@mortal linden arh right i could only find one and that was the cave (at least i did my first cave exploration haha) thank you so much

@vivid sleet right i got a andromeda now (waiting for the tau) so i guess it applies to me as well, thank you

alright to see the demand is just by increasing the sell untill you cant anymore? (sorry still a little new to trading)

@vivid sleet thanks what web page do you use? I have some issues with the gallog and the kamille one feels a little outdated

thanks

alright thanks i might make a google sheet then and find my own runs

just a pain to keep them updated with the prices hehe

[short tapir]

Thats just lovely.... about to land my with all my cargo (last money and i disconnect)

goodbye money

[hollow sedge]

Is drug running possible in 3.9? Every time I've tried it, I can never find a place to take all of my stock. Are others having this trouble or am I doing something wrong?

[mortal linden]

Demand for drugs was and is very low.

[tropic barn]

btw

mining in yela belt or planet surfacr better for quantainium?

[rocky bough]

Moons of microtech have more amount of quantainium @tropic barn

[tropic barn]

ok

[hollow sedge]

At trade terminals, when you click on a trading resource it says on the right side of the screen "[current item] demand: " then nothing. I assume it's bugged and it should have a percentage value or something?

[warm belfry]

@tropic barn you need more time to go New Babbage. just count it

[lyric schooner]

if u mine on moons in microtech u need to sell ore in nb or is there another place?

[woeful gazelle]

minable ships confirmed? 😅

[ionic wasp]

oh if only

more than once I've come upon a random freelancer just sitting idle at a cave, presumably the owner mining inside the cavern

[mortal linden]

Mining is new salvaging

[ionic wasp]

I'd love to be able to turn to my extractor and SUCK that cargo right outta that idle freelancer

no one is safe from the prospector

[mortal linden]

That's what I'll do when they (if) add salvaging. Cuz I have Vulture. I'll fly from cave to cave, repurposing "abandoned" ships into small cubes of valuable scrap. :3

[earnest lion]

I want to give mining a go, I can rent the Prospector for 3 days, but before I do is there anything I should know

Or if anyone want to give me a more 'hands on' tutorial

[spare mulch]

Yes

Save up 100k for a helix mining laser

[earnest lion]

I have 1.4 mill

[undone socket]

any good trading sites?

[earnest lion]

Am I able to customize rented ships?

[spare mulch]

Then grab that helix and slap it on. It’s the only head rated to mine large rocks with high tier ore

It was announced for 3.9

If you can’t go to your hangar and you can customize it there

Be sure to remove it before it expires though

[earnest lion]

Helix I or II

@spare mulch

Wdym 'if you can't go to your hangar'?

Did you leaev?

Idk which Helix laser

[undone socket]

any good trading sites to run some trading?

[mortal linden]

@earnest lion you cannot upgrade rented ships.

Helix I for Prospector.
Helix II for Mole

[earnest lion]

Tell that to Legacy

So how do I put the helix on the prospector

[rich bane]

Using mobiglass, and going ship loadout section

If you bought prospector afcourse

Not rental

[earnest lion]

I know how to modify ships dude... Just why was I told to buy a Helix if I can't stick it on a rented Prospector? I literally stated that I'm going to rent one

[rich bane]

If your have rental

Then you have to go Self hanger and do it there

[earnest lion]

But you just said you can't modify rented ships...

[rich bane]

Didn't say that at all

There is still possibility to change ship loadout after 3.9

In self hanger

[mortal linden]

O_o

[earnest lion]

Using mobiglass, and going ship loadout section
If you bought prospector afcourse
Not rental
Not rental

[rich bane]

Well that is if you are in the verse

[earnest lion]

Then say that

[rich bane]

As for rentals

Can be done in self hanger

Still works

[earnest lion]

Should've just said that at the start

[rich bane]

I just joined the chat

I just saw a question

[earnest lion]

Doesn't stop you scrolling up to see what I was talking about

[rich bane]

Well thing is , this thing is getting talked about twice a day probably so....
