usually earlier in the day i am

marble crater
#

I play on Aus & trading is borked there too lol

#

can get a couple runs in then everything just runs out

coarse cape
#

might just be an aus server thing lol

#

when im on the aus server im not having stock issue

marble crater
#

can get 1 or 2 Laranite/Med supply runs then it's slim pickings

coarse cape
#

well yeah those two are always out of stock lol

#

ive been running titanium without stock issue

wild hare
#

Should I purchase a ROC and mine with that, or should I rent a Prospector and mine with that?

marble crater
#

what are the profit margins on titanium?

coarse cape
#

hold on lemme pull it up

marble crater
#

I remember trying some other lower tier stuff & thought it wasn't worth the time

coarse cape
#

price is really bad for it

#

its supposed to have a base price of 7.1 and a base sell of 8.9

#

but ive seen it as high as 7.8 rn

stiff fable
#

where do I go to sell quantanium for a high price?

#

does orison buy for 88?

coarse cape
#

TDD

marble crater
#

Area 18 TDD to sell refined Quantainium

stiff fable
#

theres multiple tdd

coarse cape
#

any rly

stiff fable
#

is orison good to sell?

marble crater
#

Area 18 has a higher purchase rate

stiff fable
#

oh

#

does area 18 have a store for miniing modules?

coarse cape
#

i think?

stiff fable
#

because right now I can only fiind mining in shubin interstellar at microtech

#

its such a hassle to go there and back bringing with me the modules

marble crater
#

the refinery stations sell modules too

stiff fable
#

and the reststop refineries dont have them though

#

when i look in the misc section i can't see the modules or the mining headss.

marble crater
#

you have to scroll on the inventory list. it goes sideways as well

#

pretty bad design

coarse cape
#

bad design? nah

#

great design kekw

marble crater
#

lol

marble crater
stiff fable
#

how do I scroll sideways???

marble crater
#

just mouse wheel down on the top list, it will go sideways

#

intuitive design

stiff fable
#

ohhhh

#

oh my god

#

what is this ui

#

what

#

it's hidden

marble crater
#

lmao get Star Citizen'd

stiff fable
#

easter egg type crap

#

whaaaa

#

Im so confused

#

are there other terminals like this???

#

oh my

coarse cape
#

i mean you can scroll sideways if you rotate your mouse sideways 5Head

stiff fable
#

ahh

coarse cape
#

have fun with trade terminals

stiff fable
#

trade terminals do that?

#

I will now be forever suspicious of the terminals

coarse cape
#

no

#

trade terminals are just ass

#

anyone else having issues selling raw in a refinery

balmy nymph
#

haven't done that in ages, which terminal are you using?

coral pond
#

does the quant timer start from when you crack the rock to purple or only when you extract it?

gritty solar
#

timer starts when the quant enters ur ship

balmy nymph
#

yep, as soon as you start scooping. so prepare the rock first, get all the frags broken, have QD destination set, and know which frags you want then start collecting.

#

Does anyone know for sure if mining gives more profit per hour than bounty hunting? Not counting time to refine of course...

scarlet gulch
#

i'm trying out a cutlass black and just bought a cargo hold full of food, but i go to the ship and there's no cargo there. do i need to load it somehow?

marble crater
#

having said that with how buggy bounties are this patch I generally make more mining than in combat

solid citrus
#

how long does it take for stores to want to buy more cargo?

rose root
#

is there quant on yela?

#

Hello there!

#

i have some question about quantanium after refinery, is it dangerous to deliver it? have we some timer there?

#

sorry for dumb questions, never did it before

#

So if I find cargo in salvaged ships and whatnot, outside loading the stuff directly into my ship what all do I need to do to sell it?

glacial dagger
#

Take it to GrimHex and sell it

storm pilot
#

Do I have to find a way to load it into the cargo or is it good enough just sitting in the ship?

glacial dagger
glacial dagger

#

Lol hopefully it's worth doing.

glacial dagger
#

If there's any scrap, be prepaired to just chuck them out in the middle of quantum, because you cant sell that rn

storm pilot
#

Got my ship blasted out from under me last time and my buddy had to come pick me up in space lol.

glacial dagger
#

I wish more wrecks had billowing fire and smoke like the crashed satellite mission does, and that thrusters would directly affect the smoke

slow shell
#

So I tried cargo running filled my ship with tons of cargo flew to grimhex to sell and grimhex wouldn’t buy it all so is there something that calculated all that I tried the trade tool to get a good route that made the money but I don’t think it takes into account the sell point not being able to buy it all in one sell

glacial dagger
slow shell
#

That’s wat I used but it took awhile to sell everything at the port it said to sell because I had to wait for it to refresh

glacial dagger
#

Yh, it's not alwasy abotu the profits you can make with a full ship, it's about how quickly you can sell your cargo. I tend to stick to places that have alrge stock when I'm selling, so I can sell it all in one go

slow shell
#

Well that’s what I’m asking is there something that tells you how much stock a place will have that you can sell to in one load

glacial dagger
raw shell
#

I see no significant difference of charge rate/power between the Helix II and Lancet MH2. The Helix is either broken or very much overpriced.

#

tried both on a 6k+ rock with fairly low resistance, 60m away. The Helix didn't raise the charge any better than the lancet.

glacial dagger

#

Is smuggling drugs worth it if you have a titan or don't bother ? .

I need 1.2million more for my ship I I saving for and trying to get a lot of money fast

#

I am*

glacial dagger
raw shell
#

not sure if 5m is really significant in this case. The lancet is definitely better for quantainium stability but in terms of just trying a break a rock, I'm not seeing any advantage in the Helix II... which is what I bought it for.

manic bolt
#

@glacial dagger so what should I be buying slam?

glacial dagger
#

Quant miners almost alwasy have at least 1 lancet on their ship

raw shell
#

absolutely, it's what I use the most. I'm saying the Helix II is a scam

glacial dagger
manic bolt
#

Alright I will buy some slam when I get home and fill my titan I believe 800 units is max so hopefully I can make the last million somewhat fast

#

I just never did trade so

glacial dagger
#

Check SC Trade tools. It's not the msot accurate, but it can give you a rough idea on what to expect

manic bolt
#

Alright yeah I tried to go on YouTube but a lot of outdated stuff

glacial dagger

Just becareful of capacity, refresh rates and potential trade on other servers

Hi, what's the how much money do I need to start hauling cargo where I get sensible profit?
I am currently just doing bounty hunting to build up my cash, but would love to get back into my C2 for some good ol' hauling

#

@bitter flame the stocks are always low.. cuz its shared with all servers.. if u lucky u get the full stock

bitter flame
#

I know - I was just hoping it had gotten better over the past couple of patches

gritty solar
#

@bitter flamei tryd some rouths with the c2 but made a priffit of 100k with 600k(i think) and about 40minutes.. so i still use my mole to get my bank

marble skiff
#

Will we get more complex cargo, like volatile materials, or ones that require modifications to your ship to accommodate?

bitter flame
#

@gritty solar What's the best way to get started with Mining? ROC Mining until I can afford a prospector?

gritty solar
#

@marble skiffyes.. the cargo will change alot when the hull C is relased.. hope it will change for the better

#

@bitter flamei would recomend renting a prospector ASAP and there way to change its loadout. so u can go for quant with a rented prospector..

marble skiff
#

I highly DONT recommend doing that

#

It glitches the ship

bitter flame
#

How much is it to rent a Prospector?

marble skiff
#

And you won't be able to rent a prospector again

gritty solar
#

@bitter flamei make like 200-400k with 1 trip.. about 15-25minutes.. with the mole

#

im not sure cuz i used real cash to buy the mole.. but there are guuids.. i dont know about the prospector not be renteble after u change the load out?! but if thats true u should not change the laser and just go for the other minerals

#

@bitter flameif u want u can rent it and i can show u the ropes.. or u can tag along on my mole

bitter flame
#

Hmm, I guess I will see how much I can save up ROC Mining the next couple of weeks and perhaps consider giving myself a late Christmas present when my paycheck rolls in 🙃

marble skiff
#

So if you changed the laser, it simply won't have a laser when you rent it again

bitter flame
#

Thanks for the offer @gritty solar ! Sadly I am short on time so I can't do too much for the next couple of weeks

marble skiff
#

Atleast, that's what happened to me

gritty solar
#

@bitter flamewell my offer stands, when ever u feel like it hit me up..

#

@marble skiffwell then u just take the laser off before the time is up and re equip it after u rent it again

gritty solar
#

@tame apexwhy would i?

tame apex
#

I mean its a loooot for such short time

#

atleast for me haha

gritty solar
#

there a way to tell if its quant rock from 5km away without scanning it

tame apex
#

How?

gritty solar
#

@tame apexu mine a lot?

tame apex
#

I need the tips incase I find someone with mole haha, need to save up like 700k more

tame apex

#

It’s easier to tell if it’s an obsidian deposit

#

@bitter flame do not rent a prospector. i'd save up for one.

#

i can send ya some guides to help ya get into mining that i've made for 3.15

#

@tame apex i dont think he's lying i average about 600k mining run every 25 minutes.

verbal cargo
#

@thin escarp trying to solo mine in a MOLE. Is it best to go to the asteroid belt or planet side like on Lyria?

thin escarp
#

ahh in that case i'd probably go asteroid

#

cru l3 and hur l3 pretty ez to navigate solo not as massive as the halo

verbal cargo
#

Thanks!

thin escarp
#

@verbal cargo i can send you a copy of my guide if ya want

#

has tons of tips tricks how toos where toos bug fixes to mining

When im mining in the mole and aiming at rocks my scanner is aiming higher than my cursor..... I have to aim way lower than the rock to actually scan the contents. Anyone kno a workaround?

So there's talk of 3.16 coming soon and to not stack refinery orders. Any idea if it's true? was going to do a couple mining runs

marble crater
scarlet rover
#

so when mining quant, does it always jump up and down randomly like that? or did I just get a shitty one?

wild nacelle
#

That's normal for Quantanium and why the Lancet Mining Head is the favoured tool -75% instability

balmy nymph
#

yeah, raw pure quant has 10 instability, so it's unstable as !@#$.

astral granite
#

Me and a buddy are mining in a mole and want to be able to break big rocks on lyria. What combination of lasers should we use?

native plank
#

Lancet is best

marble crater
#

5 minutes in and stumbled across this gem

#

of course i'm in a Prospector 😦

wild nacelle
#

You can break that

marble crater
#

it's more that I left so much behind

astral granite
#

@native plank With 8k mass rocks and high % me and buddy with both lancets cannot break rock

marble crater
#

49%, 24% & a 35%

wild nacelle
#

It's a pity you can't drop a private beacon for stuff like that

astral granite
#

@wild nacelle Hopefully in the future

native plank
astral granite
#

Both at 100% cant get it even close to optimum

#

Surges work but looking for a solution without modules

#

Ive heard of people mismatching lasers to help

wild nacelle
#

Any good passive setups for the Prospector (Quant, of course!)

marble crater
#

bad thing with that setup is if you get a bug and need to claim your Prospector, you lose those modules and they're expensive

wild nacelle
#

I was running 2x Riger 3 and a Focus 3 and felt it was harder to crack the rocks than with no modules

marble crater
#

lancet is so stable not sure why you would need a Rieger

#

just making it harder to deal with having more resistance

wild nacelle
#

I thought the bigger optimum window would help. I should look into the Torrent, from the sounds of it

balmy nymph
#

and really, REALLY, don't have multiple people trying to control the power, you'll get pilot induced oscillations pretty damn quick.

thin escarp
#

@astral granite did u guys put size 2 lancet on the mole or size 1

astral granite
#

Size 2

thin escarp
#

2 lancets should def break a high quant rock

astral granite
#

Its just me and one other buddy and we cant seem to make it happen

#

We both at full blast and it wasnt working

#

Couldve just been a buggy rock

balmy nymph
#

what was the size of the rock?

#

and did it actually scan, or were you just pew pewing at something with no guidance? 😄

astral granite
#

8k mass rock 47%

#

Me and my buddy figured out a solid solution. Just running one lancet and one helix

will work orders in refiners disappear when 3.16 hits? if it they are done/not done?

delicate girder
marble crater
#

sure the pointer is luck lmao. also when you get to around 4km from the ping you'll see the asteroid shapes appear & just gotta hope you see tight clusters

delicate girder
#

Yep. Knew about the tight clusters from the visual scanning days. Why did CIG have to remove that! More questions: Do you just ignore anything else except tight clusters and not even scan? How fast to you fly through the field usually? Do you just randomly wander or is there a method to how you search? I assume that was somewhere in Aaron Halo. Do you find any location better than another?

crimson oak
#

no real method while scanning is borked

#

tight clusters usually a good indication still though yep

delicate girder
#

Also, I usually just spam the tab key and deployed mining head for scanning, should I be using the v key (if I recall correctly) scanning which you can use with any ship?

crimson oak
#

yep v key normally

ember star
#

They both work but "V" works at greater distances.

#

Are those mining gadgets in the 3.16 ptu yet? anyone play around with them?

Not yet.

Probably in today's build. If it doesn't fail.

is there a screen to buy mining head and modules in Hur L2? I see the head on wall but can't seem to find a panel or something

wow that's tricky! thx for the help 😉

marble raptor
#

Im courier level runner so level 2

but at what time do i get more earning missions?

When i have runner at full level?

first quant mining. Must I store the ship at refinery or do I go straight to the panel?

Not bounty hunter 🙂

so vhrt will earn 40k + 20% bonus if hurston sec likes me the numebrs are wrong but u ge thte poinyt

#

i know but im explaining the whole process

marble raptor
#

Right but i though even for delivering packages higher missions were going to unlock

frail pivot
#

Ye I’m asking do they

thin escarp
#

@pliant matrix store the ship before you go to refinery

#

storing the ship will stop the timer

frail pivot
#

Tony try going to a different planet

#

No I was asking a question like bounty missions what other mission types have tiers that pay more and more the more missions u do

pliant matrix
thin escarp
#

i'll dm you my mining guide for 3.15

#

i generally use ferron exhange. cause i dont like the wait

#

but

pliant matrix
#

sure thx a lot

thin escarp
#

dinyx solventation is the cheapest

#

for high yield

#

but thats 5 days.

#

the max for ferron exchange is 1 day 18 hours i think

#

so if a patch is coming. or you dont wanna wait

#

ferron is best

glacial dagger
#

Patches don't delete refinery deals, as far as I can tell

thin escarp
#

the last one did not.

#

but

glacial dagger
#

Well, yh, the last major patch was a wipe

thin escarp
#

3.16 is a bit bigger

glacial dagger
#

Not really

#

There's less to it than 3.15.1

thin escarp
#

3.14 refinery wipe

#

im not takin the chance

#

3.15.1 is like a hotfix type patch.

storm pilot
#

Probably better to ask here: can the 315p run a mining laser?

worthy scroll
# storm pilot Probably better to ask here: can the 315p run a mining laser?

No. And later, doubtful. It does have a nice utility slot, but I'm not sure a mining laser would be something that could go there. If we go by current mining ships, they have specific types of cargo areas for the material to be deposited to, and the 315p doesn't have that.

We'll probably get something else than can go there eventually other than a tractor beam. We just don't know what other utility items will be yet.

storm pilot
#

Alrighty.

#

Is hand mining EVER worth doing?

worthy scroll
storm pilot
#

Alrighty. I more or less assumed based on the low barrier to entry. Are there ANY mining setups that don't cost over a hundred bucks or 5 million uec to start?

worthy scroll
#

There are only two mining ships in the game right now. The Prospector costs a tad over 2m in game. The Mole is over 5.

#

$155 and $315 real money.

#

There are two other known mining ships coming, but they're both far larger and far more expensive. Both are in concept though.

boreal fossil
#

really good deal for only $10

storm pilot
#

How would someone in a mole make during a day's rental if they played for 4 or so hours? Assume an hour to figure out bullshit.

boreal fossil
#

i amke about 2 mill running quant in 4-5 hours ez goto lyria if it a cluster its guaranteed to have quantanium in it

storm pilot

Yeah I don't even know how to carry a vehicle in a ship yet.

cerulean bridge
cerulean bridge
storm pilot
#

Oh I didn't even think about that. Are there nodes close enough to be worth doing that?

boreal fossil
#

if ur gonna go for ground mining buy a pembroke armor set or ull cook alive

cerulean bridge
storm pilot
#

Also how does insurance work on vehicles and ships bought in game?

cerulean bridge
#

I like prospector mining myself. i leave from CRU-L1 and QT to HUR-L3 to mine asteroids. Then back to CRU-L1 to refine. Then periodically load my cargo ship with the refined material and go sell at Lorvell

#

But people make lots vechile mining from what i'vev seen too

#

Insurance currently isn't implemented. It does nothing. At launch I'm not sure if they fully disclosed exactly how it'll work that I know of. I've always imagined it being some system that when you claim a lost ship, you don't pay the claim fee if insured. But who knows if that's right and further, what the prices will even be. Plus it's a long ways out. PErhaps someone else here has better info then I though

storm pilot
#

So if I buy a prospector in game and it blows up then it's just gone?

cerulean bridge
#

I generally buy all my ships with 10 year or LTI just because they allow it. I figure why not if you can? Whether it ends up being beneficial and how much remains to be seen

#

no, currently you run back to a terminal and "claim" it. You then wait a period of time and then can spawn it again. At no cost unless you want to accelerate the period of time in which case you pay a small fee

boreal fossil
#

if your gonna buy a ship with irl money check out star hangar

storm pilot
#

Oh okay!

cerulean bridge
#

if you buy a ship with real money, you never lose it. If you buy a ship with ingame money, you could lose it the next time they wipe which is very uncommon these days. in both cases you can just recall the ship at a terminal

#

i often use my prospector to mine, and my nomad to transport my refined material. it's pretty well suited for cargo runs of this size/sort

storm pilot
#

I've got my 300i, and plan on upgrading it in January to a 325, then possibly buying another in Feb or Mar depending. I really don't like the crazy high prices on the ships though, so I might skip that altogether.

cerulean bridge
#

a cutlass would do as well. don't need anything horribly big

storm pilot
#

How often do they do server wipes?

cerulean bridge
#

they recently did one for 3.15 because of introducing physicalized inventory which required significant changes. before that it's been what.. year and a half? maybe more?

storm pilot
#

(another ship, not a 300i)

cerulean bridge
#

you can easily earn ships in game just doing missions and having fun

storm pilot
#

Yeah, I want to buy them to support the game (assuming again that it continues to hold my interest), but I cannot stomach spending the amounts they want for the ships I see.

cerulean bridge
#

heh i know what you mean. my tolerance on that has gone up over time. initially i "splurged" on a cutlass black. Over time though, i realized i have more money then time, enjoy the game and love supporting it, and twice a year have bought something during the big sales

#

since i otherwise pay $0 to play it, I don't mind buying a ship now and then

#

and it keeps getting better as a game..

storm pilot
#

That's more or less where I'm at, but the concept of handing over more than I spend on any 5 other games for one digital ship irks me.

Are the sales significant or is it like the 10% stuff I'm seeing at the moment?

cerulean bridge
#

it's not significant in $$.. where it matters is #1-it tends to be the only time you can get an LTI token or 10 year insurance, #2-it's the only time of year where they release lots of ships to buy that are normally not available

#

you may not care about #1.. lots don't

#

but #2, there are a LOT of ships in game now. Most are not for sale until they have one of their events.

hollow sedge
#

the moment i mine a difrent ore i finde a 45% qantinium rock

storm pilot
marble crater
#

Insurance will only apply on release which is probs 5 years off minimum tbh

#

When implemented you can just buy the insurance in game as well

storm pilot
#

Oh well that makes that less skeevy

marble crater
#

Yeah it won't be brutal like Eve where you just lose your ship and everything in it on death

#

for a step up above handmining you can try ROC mining with rented options. Cutlass Black is around $27K/Day and a ROC is $4K/day but it's pretty buggy tbh

#

i am very sad

#

lost a prospector worth of 100% quant because the game sent me to menu as i was summoning my cutty with the quant onboard

#

that's like 280k at least idek

#

:(

#

im not even sure if i can fix it

cerulean bridge
#

I'm confused. If the quant is onboard, why didn't you park and store it once you landed? at that point, it's secure

#

e.g. mine quant, QT home, run to terminal, store ship. SAFE!

main saddle
#

No I think they were referring to that they had just pulled the ship with the refined quant so they could go sell. But now the ship is in limbo.

cerulean bridge
#

oic. spawn cutty with quant on board, game drops you to main menu?

#

That’s how I read it

native plank
#

Connie Taurus vs Caterpillar?

Which is best at cargo transport and survivability?

coarse cape
#

@native plank Connie Taurus is good for starting out on cargo of if you have low cash to invest on with little risk. While the Cat is made for bulk cargo and a lot of investing cash which can bring in a lot of risk but brings in more reward

#

Taurus is medium freight and the Cat is heavy freight so

native plank
#

Being shot at who would last longer, the Cat or Taurus?

coarse cape
#

Cat

#

Wait hold on

#

Ok so Taurus has 1x s3 and Cat has 2x s2

Tho Taurus handles a bit better than the cat so it can get away quicker

plus the cat has bit more gun to defend itself with

Love the look of Connie compared to drake, wanted to find out which was better, but seeing as you pointed out it was a heavy freighter which I did not know I ca see cat is in a different class than Taurus.

coarse cape
#

yeah its not really fair to compare a medium freight to a heavy freight ship lol

#

both are good ships tho

proper hound
#

Connie can also use for bounty as well

aaaaaaa

#

just accidentally alt-F4'd instead of alt-tabbing

with an MSR full of quant

odd snow
#

Where can I buy the stampede and torpid. I've been to 3 refineries and a dumpers depot.

#

Unless I'm missing something, it seems like the refinery support centers only have the same four modules, a Rhine, two versions of the focus, and something else. I only see those four sitting on top of that display in the middle of the room. I don't see any others that I can buy, but all the online sources say that I should bill to buy these at the refinery centers I'm going to, and I can't find them.

#

Am I the only one that gets an invisible wall on the 135C when it's filled with cargo? Or is this a known thing? (Yes I know the 135c has no SCU space, but I'm a noob and it's the best I've got.)

quaint cliff
#

joo im currently mining in my prospector and wonder what the best mining strat is

#

anyone can help a new miner haha

glacial dagger
quaint cliff
#

where to find? on planets or asteroids?

#

and do i need to refine it?

glacial dagger
#

I recommend the Aaron halo between CRU-L1 and ARC-L3, then refine at CRU-L1

quaint cliff
#

aight, and can i do quantanium without buyng any modules?

#

since im renting

glacial dagger
#

Might take a while to crack them to begin with, but yh, should be able to get through them

quaint cliff
#

and how do i jettison if it gets to close?

#

how does the scanning woth v work?

glacial dagger
quaint cliff
#

thx

#

i cant use my laser for some reason

#

and i even found some quantanium...damn

#

also cant switch between mining and extraction

#

is that a bug?

pliant matrix
#

did they reset ptu after last patch?

quaint cliff
#

how can i get around that bug?

#

i cant use the mining tool at all

quaint cliff
#

so i cant do anything?

humble magnet
#

@odd snow on the shop screen terminals in refinery- hover mouse at top over the category and scroll using the mouse wheel until u see Utility tab, then you will find the rest of the consumables.

quaint cliff
humble magnet
#

@quaint cliff u in a rented prospector and cannot use mining head ?

quaint cliff
#

yep

#

and also cant store my complete refined diamonds

humble magnet
#

Happened to me and i relogged and it worked but the fact u cannot use any consumables limits what you can mine wirg 60% of what u find

#

You cannot store refined in tanks for unrefined brut minarals

lapis magnet
#

I'm fairly new, but iirc the refined stuff can't be stored in the prospector cause it's considered trade stuff

quaint cliff
#

ah damn, so how can i sell it?

humble magnet
#

U need another ship to take refined to sell at the

quaint cliff
#

aight so no refining with the prospector lol

lapis magnet
#

Prospector should still be good to mine, but to piggyback on your question, is there a rentable ship in the same price range that can easily handle the cargo?

humble magnet
#

Drake cutlass black rentable from refineries

lapis magnet
#

How much per day?

quaint cliff
#

so is it worth for all that time to refine the stuff and not just sell it raw?

#

but refining takes ages, ist it faster to just sell it and get a new full prospector after that

lapis magnet
#

So the black cutlass costs 27k a day to rent with a 46 scu cap

humble magnet
#

@quaint cliff there are lots of utube entries about mining in 3.15 will tell you all the tricks

lapis magnet
#

so if you mine with a rented prospector one day and get stuff refining one day, you can go back with a rented black cutlass the next to sell

#

is that a decent plan?

pulsar dew
#

Got to be careful not to get shot then

lapis magnet
#

I'm fresh out of the oven fresh to the game, so funds are scarce

pulsar dew
#

or get someone to transport it for you?

lapis magnet
#

Well, it looks like the prospector only has a cap of 32 scu, does that change during the refining process?

#

Ah, I was just refering to what you said about loading up a refinery deal larger than the ships storage

#

a black cutlass should be able to handle a full deal if it came from a prospector, right'?

#

aye

pulsar dew
#

But you can't transfer from ship a to ship b atm right?

lapis magnet
#

Mine with prospector to refinery > then load refined goods to a bc.

pulsar dew
#

Otherwise you could mine, transfer the cargo to a friends ship

lapis magnet
#

awesome, thanks iron 😄

#

Ah, last question. A stock prospector can't really mine quant, or should I stick with laranite

#

it would have to be a rented prospector to start with

hollow sedge
#

You can buy upgraded mining head though 🙂

lapis magnet
#

you can upgrade the mining head on a rental?

hollow sedge
#

Yes just make sure to remove the head before it runs out of rental

lapis magnet
#

Awwwwesome

#

cool cool, thanks guys 🙂

hollow sedge
#

Also if youre brand new to game. You can join orgs that have argo moles and they do mining runs with a group since mole uses 3 mining heads and 4 crew

#

It can help learn which mining heads are better for what. Also lets you practice mining without needing to rent a ship as they split profits

lapis magnet
#

Any org suggestions? or will any do since Im just starting?

bright star
hollow sedge
#

If youre new starter i would go with one of the big ones since there will be more veteran players that have a lot of knowledge and they can offer great help. I dont know if im allowed to mention any… but some star citizen youtubers with a lot of subs have them. And they do mining runs often 🙂

lapis magnet
#

Sounds good!

quaint cliff
#

i would be very interested as well 🙂

marsh vale
#

Is it worth joining a organisation to get started roc mining

#

Yea I'm currently renting a cutlass black so it would help with financing

I'm at school rn but maybe another time?

#

Yeah thanks man

Holy crap. You know how much time I’ve wasted? The terminals say CLOTHES on them. 🤦🏼‍♂️

#

hey. im new to the game and were thinking of trading. but the trade posts dosnt seem to find my ship. is this a me problem or a server problem or a game problem?

humble magnet
#

@thick canopy the trading consoles do not detect your ship ? r u trying to buy or sell ?

thick canopy
#

trying to buy

humble magnet
#

and you landed in middle of pad ?

thick canopy

there is no pad 😛

#

its on Yela NT-888-XX the SC trade tool wanted me to pick something up

#

NT-999-xx

humble magnet
#

may need to get closer idk never happned to me...sorry

#

ah

thick canopy
#

ah ok. damn all my pick up places are missing pads xD

#

so i need to buy a bigger ship or i wont be able to trade now. as all the small stuff places are broken? 😛

#

@glacial dagger well what i can se i can not do any trading cuz there is no places to pick up stuff with landing pads or maybe i have configured the SC wrong

manic bolt
#

So drugs are worthless they do not make profit at all went broke trying it

#

SC tools on drugs lied lop

#

Lol*

#

So what's a good legal trade should I buy and sell too. I can invest 200k and I have a rental freelancer

thin escarp
#

@glacial dagger be careful saying the word org on here chief

#

@manic bolt trading is kinda borked rn

#

drugs are super borked

#

worse than scrap

#

@thick canopy if you wear a backpack sometimes ur ship doesn't show up in trade consoles

#

@urban flame I can send you a mining guide for 3.15 if ya want

thick canopy
#

ok trading is broke so how about mining. lets say i have a mole what should i mine to get good profit?

subtle cradle
urban flame
#

tfw you only have 40k credits

subtle cradle
#

Making money with a rented prospector will take some time still though, because of the shitty standart mining head you can't change

thin escarp
#

@lapis magnet rental prospectors laser is trash you can barely break anything. its not recommended to rent.

#

@quaint cliff some methods take just a day or so. you can just stack them up.

subtle cradle
#

I actually don't know how to grind up enough aUEC to buy a prospector.
ROC mining is shit, rented prospector mining is shit, fps missions are very slow profit, trading sounds bugged.
So that just leaves bounties which requires a decent combat ship

#

Or begging for aUEC in chat

thin escarp
#

i can def show ya the ropes

#

get you on some mining ships

#

i have guides aswell. lemme know if you want those.

subtle cradle
#

I myself am good. I managed to buy a prospector and a hornet in game and am doing alot of quantanium mining and bounties

thin escarp
#

good shit!

subtle cradle
#

Well I managed to get the aUEC because of the trick you showed me @thin escarp

thin escarp
#

i thought you looked familiar

#

;P

subtle cradle
#

Otherwise I would've still been doing borase trying to reach 2 mil lol

thin escarp
#

you missed out on the mining op saturday we hit 20.5 million ina night

like 2350 scu of quant

Wow yeah I need to join one of your missions some day!

I would, but I'm in NZ so that's like 4-5 am for me lol

thin escarp
#

yeah i'll have another time slot soon. more EU/AUS friendly

subtle cradle
#

Nice

#

I think the best way for a solo newbie with a starter ship to get some good aUEC now is collecting the xmas presents around A18 @thick canopy

thick canopy
#

@subtle cradle first of. the lowerd the price. so not doing it anymore. and second of i want to play the game not run around picking up gifts

subtle cradle
thick canopy
#

@subtle cradle 250 per packet

subtle cradle

Yeah that's not worth it at all then

thick canopy
#

nope 😛 luckely i did it abit when i started

thin escarp
#

@thick canopy yeah one of my guys made like 3 million

#

saw it coming

thick canopy
#

i made 700k but i didnt care to pick them all day. as i said. didnt start to pick up gifts i started to play the game 😛

You can add me ingame if you want. I could use a Quantanium scout. I'll pay up front for any +30% rocks you find.

thick canopy
#

hehe. well im out on a mission with friends right now. 🙂

subtle cradle
#

I'm not online. But will be in the future, and it would be easy money for you

subtle cradle
# urban flame how does that work?

We'll be on the same server (an AUS one since I'm the one having to mine)
I'll tell you which area to go and scout and scan in whatever ship you wanna use. When you find a good rock I'll QT to you and mine it. Once it's processing in the refinery I'll transfer you the aUEC we've agreed upon

urban flame

oh cool

marsh vale

What is the best ROC mining location?

Well im poor and i heard its good for money

Well it's cheap to try out. I hope you have better luck than me

marsh vale
#

thanks

subtle cradle
# urban flame why so?

Last time I went the extraction beam was super buggy and send all the hadanite gems flying everywhere. So it took me ages driving around a 1km diameter and pick them all up

urban flame
#

oh fun

#

i'm gonna try it for the first time tonight hopefully 😄

subtle cradle
#

It used to be really good money.
Fly low and slow and look for that square symbol <1km away

urban flame
#

is there a specific place to try mining on aberdeen or just go anywhere?

subtle cradle
#

I just go Anderson or Norgaard (I think they're called) and fly towards the sun

#

Or go OM-1 and fly straight down since it's always daytime there

thin escarp
#

make sure you fly low

#

and fast

subtle cradle
thin escarp
#

i had a easier time flying pretty fast finding the roc nodes

#

but its been about 2 weeks

urban flame
#

some video i saw said 300ms i think?

#

or was it 600

#

idk

thin escarp
#

300-600 is decent

urban flame
#

yeah and it said to fly low (200m tops) because the gem icons only appear on a ping at like 1200m away

#

not that ive tried it yet

QQ Can prospector space mine effectively now or is it still primarily a surface miner?

thin escarp

it can

throw some modules on that

yeah

pliant matrix
#

I guess laranite is still hard to trade this patch. What other goods are available and profitable atm?

coarse cape
#

Titanium is pretty solid

pliant matrix
#

I used to do laranite/titanium run around hurston (arial iirc)

coarse cape
#

I got my own little stashes I hit from time to time when prices are low

pliant matrix
#

sc trade tools say distilled spirits are pretty good money. how are the stocks currently?

coarse cape
#

No clue. I haven’t touched those

pliant matrix
#

might do some runs. I'm tired of bounty farming. made a million on last days but my brain is slowly dying

#

at least until I get my own prospector and start refining a bit. Like gathering putting to refinery then go hunting

pliant matrix
#

yeah titanium isn't too bad. bought a full C2 at arial for 522k and sold it at lorville for 597k. 75k profit and took like 15 min

thick canopy
#

can you drop out ore from a MOLE or do you need to go to a station?

#

Is it not always guaranteed that I would be able to mine a gem by hand?

I'm at a gem deposit that I can't seem to get the power level up enough to extract it, am I maybe doing something incorrect?

So what should I be trading since drugs screwed up my UEC. I have a Freelancer for 3 days rent, what should I buy and sell to get my 2mil back ?

In a freelancer you could try to scrape off the leftover Laranite and fill the rest in Titanium.
In a bigger ship it's not reasonable, but a in freelancer it could work.

how hard is it to fit the ROC into a freelancer? would I need the freelancer max?

#

I'm seeing conflicting info...

thin escarp
#

its a awkward fit

#

most people prefer the cutty

hoary monolith
#

does the cutty have enough scu to take completed refinery jobs?

thin escarp
#

enough for a prospector yes

#

a roc doesnt need to be refined

wild nacelle
#

The cutty can take 44SCU. If you get a good rock with the prospector and use a high yield refine you get about 30SCU of Quant - so can only take one refine (ie Prospector load) plus any silly little refines you had left over. You can't spit the cargo unfortunatley

marble crater
#

Seems they have patched the rental claim bug that let's you customise loadouts

wild nacelle
#

But do you have to give rentals back now?

thin escarp
#

i always need seats on my moles 😄

marble crater
#

hmm the thing I was using just let you customize the loadout, the timer still continued in the background

wild nacelle
#

So does mine - it has been "expired" for a week. As long as you land and store it safely it is there to fly again. If you ever need to make a claim - no benos

And with the addition of Server Crash Recovery, trading is probably one of the most viable ways to make money atm.

fresh ivy
#

I should learn trading, one of the only loops I haven’t touched

bright star
#

Probably one of the easiest (besides box delivery).

#

Just buy A at location A, then sell A at location B for profit.

fresh ivy
#

Yeah, but I suspect it’s a bit more complicated than just that once you get into actually ensuring profit margins and so on

bright star

Sort of

You need to know which route is the best. But again, it's not the same every session.

rose root
frozen harness
#

So when I’m prospector minjng on lyria, what mass and percentage am I looking at for the rocks to fill my hold in one go?

glacial dagger
#

If your looking for Quant, I recommend at least 30%. You can go lower if you start using a FLTR module, and you get less inert material that way

raw shell
#

anyone know if 3.16 will wipe out refinery jobs?

#

It's ripe for PU release, right?

frozen harness
raw shell
#

less than 5k, unless you're really good with modules.. maybe can break a 6k

#

anything over 6k, don't bother unless you have a friend along in another prospector

frozen harness
raw shell
#

also, I use the lancet head.. makes the green area larger

glacial dagger
#

More stability and a larger optimal zone than a stock head

frozen harness
raw shell
#

supposedly the helix is more powerful... in my comparisons I see no difference

#

except the size of the green area

glacial dagger
#

Helix is the go to if your not fussed about that your mining. It does mean you have more power to put in to crack the larger rocks, but it doesn't come with the built in optimized that the Lancet does

raw shell
#

I was in a MOLE with the lancet on one turret, and the Helix II in another. In trying to break a 6kish rock, the helix didn't do any better in charging it than the lancet

#

not worth the $100k imo

glacial dagger
#

I find having two Lancet IIs and one Helix II can really help you break open the larger rocks with ease

#

Also, I have three FLTR3 modules on my helix, as it has a faster extraction rate than the Lancets

sonic laurel
#

if you're dedicated 3 lancet IIs can crack any rock with a nice fat comfort zone

raw shell
#

be aware that a new release is poised for dropping.. I haven't been able to get any confirmation on if it will wipe out refinery jobs or not. I've had that happen before and lost like 8 refinery jobs in process... it sucks.

frozen harness
#

I have about 600k so maybe I can drop some quick jobs

glacial dagger
#

Shouldn't be much if any wiping for this, or at least nothing I have hear from anyone

raw shell

#

Anyone looking to mine? I have a Mole and Prospector.

thick canopy
#

do you need a ship to be able to retrive your refined goods?

glacial dagger
thick canopy
#

i have refined it

#

now i need to retrive it from the refiner. do i really need a ship to retrive it back from the refiner?

glacial dagger
#

Oh, sorry, Didn't see the retrieve part. Yes, you will need a chip with cargo space to haul it away to sell it. The Prospector/MOLE cant be used for this purpose, as their SCU are strictly for mined goods only

thick canopy
#

hmm. well thats stupid. so first i need a ship for 2m+ to mine at all then to even retrive my refined goods i need a hauler for 1.5ish m... so i cant use my station inventory for that. that my friend is a bad system if anything

#

reaaaaly new player unfriendly game mechanic🙂

glacial dagger
#

Mining is meant to be an expensive buy in mechanic, just like irl

thick canopy
#

yeah well offcourse. well its a alfa so iguess it will be easyer to earn money to buy a ingame ship when trading etc works better

crimson oak
#

fairly straight forward tbh

#

you can rent ships to haul the stuff if need be

#

so if you dont mine very often just to a 1 day rental

#

i think the constellation andromeda has the most cargo space of the rentals, though feel free to correct me.

crimson oak
#

you don't necessarily have to refine the ore either, could just directly sell the raw stuff in the refinery.

rose root
rose root
thick canopy
#

@rose root you seem to think a new player have alot of money 🙂 its all fine if i get help. but renting a prospector is 55k per day and thats all good i guess it make up for it while mining low tier stuff. but renting a hauler when you dont have any cash to do it. but its all good i just need to do FPS missions for around 27 hours strait to buy the stuff i need, its all about the grind 😄

wraith tusk
#

@thick canopy I started 2 weeks ago and bought today a prospector. Really not that difficult

thick canopy
#

@wraith tusk cool. now you just need a hauler 😄

wraith tusk
#

You can also do roc mining which has a much cheaper buy in

thick canopy
#

that works guess with doing muli majning refiners

verbal cargo
thin escarp
#

@rose root other players cannot haul someone elses goods

#

renting a andro for a day is like 70k. stack up orders. and that make it more worth

rose root
# thin escarp <@!165969310274027520> other players cannot haul someone elses goods

Ahh yeah true. Renting a hauler is easy and cheap.

@thick canopy you can do illegal surveillance missions in 2 minutes for 20k and they are super farmable in any ship for easy capitol.

Additionally many mining organisations advertise on here all the time for people to man argo mining lasers and the pay is insane. You'll have a lot of auec for new ships etc in no time.

It's easier than you think

north oyster
#

Hey @thin escarp , I think the issue of me having a tough time finding Quantainium in the belt was because of where I was dropping out of QT. When I drop out at 11.5M km from ARC-L3, I find plenty, dropping out 12M km seems to be scarce hits.

thin escarp
#

Go to CRU L1. Set QT to ARC L3. Drop out of QT exactly at 12,500,000 km from ARC L3.

If you drop out 100,000 or 50,000 km's too soon, you won't be in the spot. The asteroids are not as dense if you drop out too early.

#

i think 12m is a dead zone

north oyster
#

I didn't realize that until last night when someone was scouting and found a ton of 30% and greater rocks

thin escarp
#

cause 12.5 is pretty legit too

Best luck for me has been 11.5 and I never realized the connection

For solo mining with a S2 laser, what head and modules would be better? (Passive modules preferred). Should I just stick with the Helix?

scarlet rover
subtle cradle
crimson oak
#

Focus or Torrent, the one that gives + laser power aint too bad either.

barren meadow
#

Nah, not mining Quant with a Mole @crimson oak Just mining everything else!

scarlet rover
#

Basically: big green bars are good, big red bars are bad

#

it's sorted by most least profitable to most profitable - total potential profits, not over time

#

but that should help you make choices based on how quickly you need a return, or whether you can wait for max value

crimson oak
#

oh solo mining, i just assumed quant in a prospector. Either way those modules are a decent choice.

barren meadow
#

Cheers mate! I appreciate it !

subtle cradle
# scarlet rover

That's awesome thank you so much. I might have scrolled past it tbh since it looks alot like the minable prices one.
I normally always go Dinyx, but I gotta make alot of money this weekend if I'm gonna buy the C2 before xmas

#

So I need shorter refining times

scarlet rover
#

try Ferron

crimson oak
#

I finally bought a C2 earlier, the rental finally bugged out.

scarlet rover
#

it's a lot faster than Dinyx, yields almost as much, but requires more capital investment in processing

#

so you should get the most yield in not too long a time, if you have cash to put up against it

subtle cradle
#

When I get my C2 I'm just gonna mine everything Laranite and up right at CRU L1

#

But in my Raft it's hardly worth the trip to sell

so iv been trying to mine and figure out what works best

#

on the other hand if i buy the ship to move it in im looking at 1.5 mill between the roc and ship at witch point i might as well go straight to the prospector so whats the point in the roc?

Well at least the MSR isn't trying to kill you everytime you board and exit it lol

look, my RAFT loves me! he says it's my fault he throws me down the elevator

at that point im almost better off hand mining and useing the 300i i already have what is your thoughts on it?

Im trying to get into the Commodity trading game and Im trying to sell medical supplies at a place thats buying for a high price on the Commodity Alerts. I have a hold of 100,000ish worth, but its literally only letting me sell 300UEC worth at a time.... what gives here?
now I cant even sell it did I just punk myself out of 100k

scarlet rover
#

Prices and supplies in game are modeled after the buy and sell orders we place. In addition, smaller outposts have smaller demand

#

a TDD might buy huge amounts but they're looking for minerals, resources etc

#

a small outpost will buy med or agri supplies but doesn't need that much

#

the NPC buy and sell demands refresh over time after their orders have been met by players

#

so you can either sit there waiting for them to go through their supplies or bus your cargo to another outpost to sell to

TDD trade centers

#

they usually take a big load of medical supplies all at once, depending on how active the servers are.

amber pulsar
#

thats what I had to do - I was trying to play along with the Understock/Overstock alerts

crimson oak
#

yeah those dont really.. work too well

amber pulsar
#

sigh. Im desperate for something new to do in game haha

crimson oak
#

maybe try other routes

#

different commodities, see if you can find a convenient chain to hop between

#

maybe im too easily pleased but im quite happy just mining quant and when ive enough quant in my c2 i usually hop between a few outposts for some trading on my way to a major city and unload it all together. Saving up for the Ares Inferno when it's finally out and buyable ingame 😄

@remote thistle prospector is solid

#

roc is ehhh

#

you gotta have that RNG and have no bugs. and know what your doing

#

you can average about 200-275k a run in a prospector

#

if its got the correct loadout

# tranquil mist Best places to mine?

ROC mining is messed up at the moment, barely worth the effort. The Rental Prospector is garbage. Sadly there are blockers that make getting started an uphill battle but it is worth it in the long haul

i did alright in the roc last night

managed to triple the amount of aUEC i had from 20k to 60k lmao

I did hit 99k but it took awhile

I didnt fill the roc, only flew around to find 5 rocks between 2 nodes to mine as it was late and i was just figuring out how to do it all as id never mined before

if I mine roc on ground then take it to refineries then sale. or sale raw?

urban flame
#

you cant refine roc ore i think

raw shell
#

you take it to the Admin office trade terminals and just sell it

urban flame
#

it also wont show up for sale if the ore is inside the Roc and the Roc is inside your ship. You need to drive the Roc out of the ship first

#

took me a while to figure that out last night

raw shell
#

really? that always worked for me, even with the roc in the ship and the ship stored on the station

#

I haven't done it recently but it always worked

urban flame
#

oh i didnt have the ship/roc stored, i had it landed on a pad on aberdeen somewhere selling there

raw shell
#

I haven't tried selling on a moon pad. I usually mined on Daymar then went to sell at CRU L1, maybe that's a difference

ah i picked up the roc at aberdeen and mined and sold at the same place

Hello friends, i've got a little question about the Mole mining. im not looking to make a TONE of money, just wanna casually mine here and there. if i were to mine lets say "normal" ore with the mole from large boulders on the planet surfce or in space (asteroids) what kind of profit and how often can i fill up my storage with stuff? can i land at an outpost and just sell it all off like i do with my ROC?

#

like, if i could make 200 - 250k per fully loaded Mole run, id be super content with that. even 100k would be super duper

north oyster
near pilot
#

what colour should I looking for? red?

fresh ivy
#

Raw ore you pick up can be sold directly to a refinery if you want the lowest possible effort cash, but it's recommended to actually take the time to refine since your returns are MUCH better if you're willing to wait a few hours/up to a day to cash out. Once it's refined, you can sell it at the resource terminals in cities/outposts (but different terminal than ROC sales, which tripped me up at first).

#

200-250k for a fully loaded Mole is extremely reasonable, my buddy and I split that on the regular without really even trying, and can do much better if we find a good quant cluster and things come together nicely for us

rancid egret
#

thts great news, because the thing is i like to netflix/youtube/music while mining so having a volotile timer (15min) seems to add stress and i may be unaware and blow up. so i'd prefer to not mine stuff like that hahaha but honestly i just wanna casual fly around. the reason why mole, cause i upgraded my andromeda to a mole with CCU. i didnt like having to constantly carry and take out and put back in the ROC on my andro. and my game crashes often cause of my pc being under spec for this game. so id prefer to just get a ship to just go right away and start mining without having to do all this setup for something like just gem mining

fresh ivy
#

Mole is a bit annoying to solo mine in because you have to keep hopping out of the pilot seat but it's not unworkable

how big of rocks can i mine in the prospector

#

and how do i know if the rock is too big?

Depends on the laser head you're using

delicate sleet

#

You know the rock is too big if the meter on the right isn't going up

#

mining heads are an equipment slot on the ship

delicate sleet

is there an aprox mass thats too big ?

the bar never went up

but the rock blew up

it's VERY hard to see, especially against bright backgrounds

i didnt think it would be that impossibly hard to see

it's paired with a black bar but it's very easy for neither to be visible

How do you guys cargo all the refined stuff. Is it worth it to buy a ship for that (ingame) or is renting the way to go? (Freelancer or constellation?)

wild nacelle
#

I rented a Cutty Black (which I think is available at most of the refineries and about 44,000). Mine glitched and is still available to me a few weeks later. The biggest downside to this is it can only carry 44SCU. A decent Prospector haul will give you 30SCU of Quant, so you have to make a cargo run to every mining run. If you have or can rent a bigger ship I'd strongly advise it

wraith tusk
#

Hmm might be worth it if I use the constellation to do other things that I can't with the prospector..sorry just thi king out loud here :-)

wild nacelle
#

As far as I'm aware. The Connie is the biggest cargo load you can hire. Still only 92SCU. Unfortunately you can't borrow a ship to do this.

#

Another tip - if you have something big like the Connie. Rather than fly down through the atmosphere and land at an awkward city hanger just land at the space station above the city. You can then claim any small nimble ship and when you reach the Trade console your big ship's inventory will be available to you

What do you mean? Have you ever been hit by a Prospector laser? It ***** hurts! I'd call that a fighter!

Looking to do some mining with one to two more people. I have a Mole and Prospector.

reef narwhal
#

Anyone know why I can't fly direct to Lyria FROM Arc L1 (Have to go via Arccorp i.e. 2 jumps) but I can fly direct to ArcL1 FROM Lyria (1 jump) for refining/mining etc.

balmy nymph
#

Flying to a satellite of a planet requires going to the larger body first.

#

So if you go to Lyria from outside ArcCorp's SOI you have to hit ArcCorp first. But leaving Lyria to ARC-L1 is one trip because that is the dominant body in that SOI.

reef narwhal
#

Yeah the process I understand, but if I can track a quantum route from Lyria to ARCL1, why then can't I follow the exact same course, but in the opposite direction? Seems redundant that it works in only one direction and not the other.
