[mighty vapor]

what about for prospector?

[sage kernel]

just flew to hur l1 to buy lancets and they are not at the refinery center... fml

[marble crater]

mouse scroll on the top tab at the Mining Shop Terminal

[narrow garnet]

just dont... prospector is just crap right now. but if you have one already, then
lancet, surge, surge, stampede.

[marble crater]

what's wrong with the Prospector?

[narrow garnet]

the helix mining heads got nerf. now the helix cant do anything more than 5 tons cuz of the instability. Even with brandt module, it will either be stable but weaker than lancet, or strong enough but loses surge for brandt slot

[marble crater]

not sure how that makes the Prospector crap though

[deep vector]

Yep

[subtle cradle]

Prospector isn't crap lol

It can break the same rocks as a solo mole pilot can afaik

[sacred loom]

prospector is amazing

making millions.

[analog field]

Wait when did they nerf prosp? I've had zero issue

Can get a full quant load from a roc in the belt with zero issue

@mighty vapor cross has a guide with a few builds it's what i use

[hollow sedge]

Hey guys,is aphorite worth mining at all?

[analog field]

Not really no

Lemme rephrase that lol. It's only worth like 150 each where as hada is 275 each

[hollow sedge]

ah,ok... just found a huge bunch of it is all

[analog field]

Doesn't hurt to mine it

Just not as much as hada

[gilded bluff]

hello miners!

[pliant matrix]

Hey been away for some time. did anything changed about ROC mineable scanning? Or it's still fly low/slow and pray for having luck?

[north oyster]

Sadly, a whole lot has changed with scan and ping. It's pretty ugly right now for ROC mining

After 3.14, ROC mining got regulated to "yeah, it works .. sort of" pile

[upbeat mantle]

The mining heads are in the clothing terminal. At the top you have to scroll to reveal the "Utility" section. You can buy mining heads and modules there. I really is hidden...just poor design.

[autumn cedar]

couldn't agree more

[north oyster]

I'd say grab it since you see it. Finding deposits is such a pain that it "almost" (stress almost) makes mining dolvine tempting. But not that bad YET

[pliant matrix]

yeah so no improvement then... going back to space-hibernating xD

[north oyster]

As related to ROC mining, yeah, she needs some love. Prospector mining is premium atm but I see 3.17 breaking some stuff with the new add-ons. I'm pretty confident they are going to nix the Lancet's meta role for quan mining, etc. Hopefully I am way off base with my speculations though, it would be sad.

[lean oyster]

thanks for the answer. I figured it out eventually. That design REALLY is not intuitive at all. Would have never figured it out without outside help

[autumn cedar]

Neither did I, when i came back to SC after a year away, had to google it, really poor choice by CIG to hide the mining heads in the clothing terminal

[north oyster]

Agreed 100%, I haven't check IC but there should at least "arrows" or some clue that there is more to the menu

[autumn cedar]

one of many things in UIs throughout the verse that need rework

[north oyster]

Keep hearing rumors about the Mobi and starmap rework. Lots of stuff, all of it Soon(TM) right?

[autumn cedar]

popular word, that one 🙃

but srsly, I really hope they replace that flash-based disaster we use as 'map' in the near future

[north oyster]

The building blocks are solid and they are working through all the old flash stuff to convert it. It is such a breath of fresh air each time when that happens

[autumn cedar]

it is indeed

[open plaza]

Should I upgrade the QT drive for the prosp

[north oyster]

There are advantages to doing that. The Atlas is a good balance between speed and range

[autumn cedar]

If you're going to be travelling between planets a lot, yes, if you intend to stay in one area, not really

[open plaza]

I will be QT'ing

So I guess the atlas it will be

[autumn cedar]

yeah that is a good option, I use Voyage

eats a bit more Q fuel i know 🙂

[north oyster]

I got the Siren originally (second fastest available) but I often drop out of QT into the Halo. Because of the speed, it made it hard to hit my target drops and the fuel efficiency was horrid. The Atlas is a fantastic balance but I also found I needed to upgrade my power plant too. The Voyage might be a better option

[open plaza]

I've gone full stealth

to hide from pirates

[north oyster]

that's a good option if you are planet side, just simple changes can drastically reduce your signature.

[marble crater]

stealth modules don't really change EM this patch which is a bit dull

[north oyster]

I always seemed to have a little bit of a power issue when I tried those methods

[open plaza]

I removed my guns aswell

aint nothing i can do with those pea shooters

[north oyster]

yes, that's the first thing I do also. I remove the gimbals and guns

[open plaza]

God I am having 0 success with mining

[autumn cedar]

planet mining? if so, have you tried in the Aaron Halo?

[north oyster]

What type of mining? Prospector? ROC?

[autumn cedar]

I've also had days, when pickings were slim

[open plaza]

Prospector

[north oyster]

Where?

[open plaza]

and I am at Hur l3

[autumn cedar]

tis the life of a mining pilot, ups and downs

[north oyster]

I did a search of Band 1 last night and had fantastic luck. Got two full 32 SCU of Quan right off the bat.

From Hur-L1 I will have to look up the drop out point

[autumn cedar]

had good fortunes two days ago in band 5 as well

[north oyster]

Band 1 is pretty small, so it is easy to miss it

[open plaza]

Yesterday I got nothing within 2 hours

[north oyster]

Band 7 had lots of hits but not so much Quan, Band 6 was pretty good and also Band 5

[north oyster]

If you search for 15 minutes without any Quan hits (regardless of % in rock) then you need to jump about 20K Km or so and try again. But I would recommend getting the document on the Bands and working those

[open plaza]

Well I spend the first hour search aarons halo

but the whole band from Cru l1 to arc l3 were empty

completely empty

[marble crater]

I've been having alot of good runs from ARCL1

[north oyster]

I had an issue yesterday where all the Asteroids VANISHED on me. It was bizarre. I even jumped servers and got the same experience

[open plaza]

yeah i had that

the belt was completely empty

but only between those two points

for some reason

[north oyster]

That certainly was a server issue then

I was right in the middle of doing a ping when the whole asteroid belt just "turned off" and I was in empty space, LOL

[autumn cedar]

your scan ping turned into doomsday ray, and wiped everything 🙃

[north oyster]

That was my first thought, LOL

oddly enough the scannable asteroids were still there but I was afraid I would run into invisible asteroids

[open plaza]

Do I just

ping away

[autumn cedar]

yeah, not advisable to navigate between invisible rocks

[north oyster]

I set my speed limited on the Prospector to the default range (right at 150km/h) and then decouple. I ping as I go and then drift towards returns that I want to scan. After you get within 2500m you can do a scan. If I find a pair or group, I sometimes wait until I get within 900 or so meters then stop and scan with the Laser mining rig. I find it to be faster and more dependable than the scan. @open plaza

[autumn cedar]

I do that as well, scan the rock with the mining head out

[open plaza]

Will do that then

thanks

damn i just found a 9 asteroid cluster

and not a single one wiht quant

I hate mining

This just hasn't been enjoyable at all

[glacial dagger]

Mining is a good way of just passing time and chilling with friends without worrying about making millions

[rough garden]

does anyone have a ship i can join?

[north oyster]

I hear that Evocati might get a patch to test for 3.17. I hope we can hear a little more about the mining toys that are coming

[north oyster]

Sorry to hear that, I do hope you find what you enjoy in game. My rule of thumb is, "if you're not having fun, you're done"

[open plaza]

I like the gameplay itself just find stuff sucks

Maybe I'll try mining with someone else and get some help

Because I feel like I am doing something wrong

[north oyster]

Hook up with @thin escarp and his team. They run a monster operation that is a lot of fun and energy, Plus you earn good coin

[thin escarp]

[sage kernel]

is there a reliable list of where to buy mining stuff? erkul games seems to have inaccurate info on mining heads at least

[bold yew]

Are you making sure to scroll to the hidden menu on the terminals with the mouse wheel?

[sage kernel]

woah what hidden menu?

like at hur l1 in the refinery?

at the clothing terminal?

[autumn cedar]

yes

scroll the mouse wheel

there's an additional tab

[sage kernel]

oh my

[autumn cedar]

super unintuitive by CIG

[past current]

Live im at crul1, what is the best place to sell quant

I know orison but it soo slow to exit the atmosphere

[bold yew]

I sell at arccorp, but Hurston seems like it would be good.

[autumn cedar]

park (store) the ship with refined ore at orbital, claim a smaller ship if you have one, then fly down to the city

[bold yew]

I think that only applies if you are using a large hauler for the most part, which is not needed for quant.

[autumn cedar]

true

[bold yew]

Id never carry more than 1 mil at a time, because SC.

[sage kernel]

will quant blow up in storage?

[bold yew]

not once refined.

[sage kernel]

whats the best port to refine it in?

[bold yew]

but SC will blow up whatever the hell it wants whenever it wants, so I try to limit my risk to carrying two to four loads at a time.

I just use the port closest to my fav mining spot.

[sage kernel]

blow up how? like 30ks?

[bold yew]

30k is just one of the many SC tricks. It might decide to throw you out of the ship, detonate upon walkign down the ramp, slapping into the side of the planet out of QT, getting stuck in QT, invisible bay doors, it is very creative.

So, limit your load to what your willing to loose 🙂

same with hauling

[autumn cedar]

CUR-L1 is the refinery with the best bonus for Quant refining

[sage kernel]

oh fun i havent seen most of those bugs.. but i havent played much in a yaer

[bold yew]

To be honest, they dont happen much at all any more, except when they do 🙂

So risk wise, ill carry about 1 mil worth, nothing will prob happen, but it is not the end of the world if it does kinda thing.

[sage kernel]

so im at the clothing terminal

scrolling down

nothing

[autumn cedar]

Hover the mouse over the tabs when you have the terminal opened

then scroll

[sage kernel]

good god man

so the helix is a good primary and lancet is a good secondary laser for a mole?

and modules are not consumed? its just something you turn on and off?

[autumn cedar]

depends on a module, and a lot of them are passive, they need no toggling

[sage kernel]

so whats a good build to start with?

im at h1

[autumn cedar]

are you in a mole or prosp?

[sage kernel]

mole

[autumn cedar]

you'll have to wait for a mole owner to reply, I'm just a prosp pilot 🙂

paging mr @thin escarp for help

[north oyster]

Lancet is the meta for Quantainium, the Helix's usefulness was nerfed hard with delayed controls, decreased green zone, etc.

Helix is still the most powerful, but it can't do Quan without lots of luck and stress. If you're running a MOLE with two miners, then you are golden. The Helix with the added buff of the Lancet will rock all day long (iirc).

[minor moon]

Quick Q, what is currently the best cargo to trade? I usually go for Gold as I can guarantee I can fill a hold with it, but the returns atm aren't that great

[autumn cedar]

cargo running isn't the best activity profit-wise in the current version, so I've been told

[minor moon]

Ok, I didn't have much luck when I tried mining a while back, what is that like?

[north oyster]

usually the (not being smart) is the one available. I think Titanium, gold, diamonds and astertine are good options.

What ship are you running?

[autumn cedar]

what mining did you try? with a ROC or in a ship?

[north oyster]

this is a great overview, one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NxTYWawbvM

Jack covers all size ships and routes

[minor moon]

Prospector

[sage kernel]

okay my moles outfitted.. anyone wanna go do a test run with me? ill give you 50% of whatever we make

[autumn cedar]

I do my quant hunitng in Aaron belt, it's been pretty good for me

[minor moon]

I tried Quant mining, ended up blowing up a few times

[north oyster]

Be sure to get the publicaiton on locating the Belts inside of Aaron's Halo

[sage kernel]

you gotta outfit your lasers for it

[autumn cedar]

granted, there are days when the pickings are slim, but such is the rng

[north oyster]

Go for the Lancet laser head, only 20K expense

[minor moon]

Ok

[north oyster]

Band One in the Halo was excellent last night

[autumn cedar]

also, I'm not overly burdened with making max profits, I'm a casual player, I take what I get

[north oyster]

Also, mining Bexilite, laranite, and some of the other ores provide decent return also

[grizzled bone]

Suggestions for a good starter cargo ship?

Doing mining and want something better than my cutlass to run the cargo with

But also not looking to spend 5mill on a caterpillar or C2

[north oyster]

MAX for best price to SCU capacity. C2 is really the only way to go

MAX is only little over 2M with 120 SCU

Taurus is over 3M

Then I would recommend the MAX for that role

[tawdry glade]

Anyone else having issues at arc-l1 ? I’ve spawned outside in my ship three times this week

[grizzled bone]

Fair, MAX looks like a good shout

Cheers man

[minor moon]

What publication?

[autumn cedar]

https://cornerstonebase.space/resources/knowledge-base/36-refinery-to-aaron-halo-mining-routes

[minor moon]

Cheers

[north oyster]

whoever put that together deserves a reward

[sage kernel]

is the belt thicker in the middle

or is it all the same

[north oyster]

it's different all the way through

check out the link that Zag just posted

[minor moon]

Can you swap the mining head of a rental?

[autumn cedar]

no

[minor moon]

that is unfortunate

The option to spec a rental would be nice

[autumn cedar]

on an unrelated topic, your profile pic is that of the officer Crabtree from Alo Alo, right?

[minor moon]

Good Moaning

[tawdry glade]

I had a quant rock that wouldn’t scan. Gave it a tap with my mining laser and it instantly exploded. My ship is alive but won’t move. Any thoughts on how to reset my ship to get moving?

[autumn cedar]

tried cycling power?

[tawdry glade]

Ya I tried that. My Mfds are off but my hud is working

[minor moon]

I encountered an issue in my Vanguard during XT that sounds similar

No MFDs, no power, no engines

Ships didn't look damaged either

[autumn cedar]

hm, try getting out of your seat and back again?

[tawdry glade]

Ya I have no exterior damage

Anyone want some quant?

The rock I was mining always a 5000 32% rock. The piece that wouldn’t scan was the good piece. There is a 7000 mass rock 26% right next to me

Oh well I’ll just relog and claim. Wasted time

[hollow sedge]

Can I mine quantanium with a rented prospector

And if not what’s the best way to save up to get one

[minor moon]

Do you sell the raw Quant or refine first then sell?

[thin escarp]

always refine @minor moon

@hollow sedge no you can't mine quant in a rental

[hollow sedge]

Ok then what’s the best strat to get to enough money for a prospector

[thin escarp]

@sage kernel I have a mining guide pinned in this channel with loadouts and more

@hollow sedge I'd go the roc route

or find a mining group

[hollow sedge]

Thanks

[thin escarp]

roc is cheap to rent

fits in a cutlas easy

[minor moon]

Looking for the Lancet MH1 mining head, I'm at ARC-L1 but the refinery shop doesn't have it

But it's on the "where to buy thing"

[tawdry glade]

Go to the terminal and then at the top use your mouse wheel to scroll over to utility

[minor moon]

Oh ok

[tawdry glade]

There are more options at the mining shop terminals then will fit at the top like armor and weapons and stuff

[minor moon]

Excellent UI chaps

[tawdry glade]

No kidding I did the same thing flying around a different stations trying to find the stupid thing

[thin escarp]

it's peak ui

🤣

[tawdry glade]

There’s no even indication that there are more options like arrows on either side

[thin escarp]

@minor moon I always choose ferron exchange and dinyx solventation for refining btw

the rest are trash

[minor moon]

Cheers

[tawdry glade]

I always do Dinyx. Three loads a day and I sell after three days. Rinse repeat

I’ve started alternating three days on Lyria in three days in the Halo. These three days on Lyria have not been kind to me

[thin escarp]

yeah in a mole I'm not waiting 5 days haha

so ferron for me

[tawdry glade]

I have the money for the mole I just need to do some group mining first before I want to pilot a crewed mining ship

[sage kernel]

so this is the second 'quantanium looking' rock that i cant scan.. this shit is happening again?

[tawdry glade]

Happens all the time. I don’t even slow down for them if I can’t scan it. If I encounter two clusters where I can’t scan I just quantum a little bit further and try again. That’s anecdotal but it has worked for me

I found on planets you can hang around for a little bit and eventually get them to scan but no Amount of hanging around gets the rocks in the halo to scan if they don’t

[minor moon]

Hmmm, doesn't seemt to want to scan

[obsidian stone]

Does anyone know if we have gotten any hard numbers on the SCU cap on the Hull-A yet?

[minor moon]

Ain't getting a scan

[tawny path]

group mining anyone?

prospector group sorry should have specified

[hollow sedge]

How profitable is group mining?

[analog field]

@minor moon might be time to server hop

@hollow sedge depends on the group. And how they split pay

[tawny path]

if you get good rocks you average 200k a ship so if you keep it going pretty good payout

[minor moon]

I found some Quant, mined it

It was a good amount I think, filled most of my cargo hold

Once I refine this lot I'll be done for the evening

What do I select for storage option?

Nvm

[minor moon]

Can you que up multiple orders or do you have to wait for the previous one to finish?

[tawdry glade]

You can do as many as you want

[minor moon]

Oh cool

[thin escarp]

@minor moon I have had as many as 53 brewing

[tawny path]

looking for 1-2 for mole mining

[tawny path]

in a mole should I fly for clusters/twins or should we be checking every rock?

[ionic lintel]

Mining Crew Voice comms open, New Guys OK, will help with questions, etc.

clusters/twins, any box 10k or above

[hollow sedge]

How do I do cargo contracts

[ionic lintel]

ask on comms, to much to type

[open plaza]

When do you usually mine? I wont be able to play the next few days but after that

would be cool if I could just tag along

[thin escarp]

most nights I have a few moles going

@tawny path only pairs n clusters on lyria

[hoary monolith]

Does anyone have advice for more quickly separating Q-type asteroids from others when scanning?

in the belt

[north oyster]

Band 1 in Aaron's Halo for me was unreal with the amount of Quantainium hits. Now the server didn't like me so the dice roll was mostly always low %, but the potential for awesome it there. Got 3 100% Quan runs in a short timeframe. Fortunately the server was healthy

[north oyster]

Normally the asteroids in tighter groups tend to be Quan. However, for asteroids and scanning, the health of the server you are on is paramount

But don't skip single asteroids either, I have found two 47% quant rocks floating all by them selves.

[hoary monolith]

I had one at 44% earlier today

solo

[north oyster]

I wish the scan was as effective as the mining laser scan. Because the class of asteroid pops up so quick with it

In 3 trips today I made over 820K aUEC from Band One of the belt

It's a very skinny band, but worth the effort. Of all the bands I've researched, this one has gotten me the most excited

[hoary monolith]

I've been testing band 6, I was using 3 and 5 on someone's recomendation

[north oyster]

I've had good luck with Band 6

[hoary monolith]

band 6 has been good so far. I'm not sure if there is really a difference between bands or if its just luck

[north oyster]

Band 4 wasn't terrible

Just do a short scan of Band 1 and let me know what you think

[hoary monolith]

humans are terrible at dealing with randomness

[north oyster]

I kid you not, the first 3 pairs I came across were all Quantainium. It blew my mind. Of course I got ugly dice rolls but the potential is there. My last big hit was a pair where one didn't scan at all

[north oyster]

As a recovering analytical I still try to superimpose a pattern inside the maelstrom of randomness

[hoary monolith]

I'll give band 1 a try tomorrow when I play again.

[north oyster]

Good luck and Good mining

[analog field]

Did a lot in 4 never took more than 15 minutes to find a good rock

[tawdry glade]

I always sell at area18 but I need to go to lorville. Does lorville buy quant?

[tawdry glade]

And yet we developed rngesus

[analog field]

Yurp they do as well

[sacred loom]

The price is not as good I believe

[analog field]

I've always sold to loreville. The couple of % is worth ease of sale to me

[past current]

If you ship explode do you lose your mining laser

Like a lancet mh1

[thin escarp]

@past current no

just modules

[tawdry glade]

First solo mole run and I got 72scu in 20 minutes

Payday

[past current]

Soo luckyy

[tawdry glade]

Ya it was super lucky two good rocks right on top of each other. I kept getting a warning that my shields were overheating not sure what that’s about

[sour timber]

@tawdry glade that happens when theres not enough power to the shields on bigger ships for some reason.

[thin escarp]

@tawdry glade ship coulda took some minor dmg during cracking. which the power is right below the mole.

i noticed that sometimes it happens and then i have to overclock the power of the ship

so it has enough 😄

[analog field]

Can you just upgrade your plant? Or does it matter

[hollow sedge]

Hey guys. So any tips where i can use my ROC for mining? Im just starting out

I know i should look out for hadanite,but where should i look?

[marble crater]

Aberdeen or Arial around Hurston

[halcyon brook]

Read the upcoming patch notes. Really loving the fact we're getting mining gadgets to use with rocks that are 50/50 un-scanable still 😂

[north oyster]

The unscannable issue (primarily an issue in Aaron's Halo) is directly related to the health of the server. Good server = very few duds. If you log in and all the NPCs are frozen in the station, then it might not be a fun day mining.

[halcyon brook]

Yeah, I just find it funny that we’re getting new tech for a game loop that’s quite broken. Doesn’t make for good tests 😂

[north oyster]

The bug will eventually get squashed, it's an annoyance but not a game breaker.

[harsh iris]

Any recommended planets / moons for ROC mining? Spent about 5 hours today combing through MT, Hurston and Daymar. Found only one node.

[north oyster]

Adding features in a sandbox demo isn't a bad thing

[north oyster]

Arial and Aberdeen

You will need the Pembroke armor

These two moons have the highest density of hadinite in the system

[harsh iris]

Perfect. I’ll check them out in the morning. Any specific hemisphere to focus on?

[north oyster]

Not really, but I would suggest that you dive down to the planet service from orbital marker number one (OM-1) because it is always daylight under that marker

[halcyon brook]

That’s true. I’ve taken to treating the bug like a little lore. Scanners broken 😂

[north oyster]

I often switch to mining mode because sometimes it works when the default ship scanner fails

But most often, a dud is a dud.

The server health is 100% a factor on scanning duds

[verbal elk]

is there any difference between the first two prospector loadouts (in the guide i linked) for the max rock mass that can be broken

[north oyster]

what pages is that on? Because there is min/max load for the MOLE and also for the Prospector.

I found it, pg 7, let me look

[verbal elk]

page 7

yep

[north oyster]

I think the max crack from those options are pretty darn the same because the only difference is the Focus and FLTR-L

Speed of harvest verses quality of harvest is the key here

[verbal elk]

im going to get the fltr then

the torrent modules look a bit useless maybe i should replace one of them with the focus from the 2nd loadout

to have a focus - torrent - fltr loadout

[north oyster]

I use option 3 version, I don't use any passive modules at all at this time

[verbal elk]

sadly these modules are consumable

[eager root]

How does selling laranite work

like do you buy some then sell it at a profit

[deep vector]

theres workaround

dont ping after it turns from box to rock, just scan

get close before

[north oyster]

laranite isn't what will work for you. The golden days of the Laranite rush is over and never coming back (except maybe in the PTU). You will want to look at commodities that are more abundant. I would recommend Jack Axton's refresher course on trade. I will like it in just a minute

[eager root]

i have a small ship (the avenger) so i’m not sure if I can do cargo at all

[north oyster]

Not really, trade isn't an option for that level unless you are running contraband

[eager root]

yeah that’s kinda what I thought i’m just looking to make some money

kinda new i made 200k i’m Jt but I could barely get on

from*

[north oyster]

The Titan is a rock solid ship and can do multi-roles

Bounty Hunting might be what you look at next

[eager root]

yeah that was my second option lol

[north oyster]

Unfortunately doing box deliveries is a little challenged but it is there as a way to earn. After that, BH is the next best thing. Mining is a solid earner, but that requires a little more to get into. The smallest mining setup would be the Cutlass Black with a ROC miner. You can rent both but right now the ROC mining has some challenges that makes earning with it a little more cumbersome

@eager root , There is a mining team that you can work with that will teach you mining and you can earn good coin. If interested, hook up with @thin escarp and he will fill you in.

[thin escarp]

every saturday aswell I run a massive scale mining operation. 25-45 people. 5-9 moles.

usually mine 14-20 million.

[north oyster]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NxTYWawbvM

[eager root]

sorry I had to go run some errands

[magic widget]

is using the roc in a connie taurus worth?

[past current]

What is the best place to mine quant

[magic widget]

the astroid belt im pretty sure

[past current]

It is in the haron halo or on a moon

Oki

Thx

[magic widget]

yeah

[north oyster]

ROC mining has great potential, however the scan/ping is problematic at the moment. A full ROC is worth over 250K with hadanite - which you find on very hot areas. So Arial and Aberdeen is where you want to search. I would also recommend to dive down to the surface from OM-1. On a moon it is a short trip. The reason is that these mark the North Pole and it is Always daylight under OM-1

You will need the Pembroke armor set also.

[magic widget]

Thank you so much and what is the pembroke armor set

[north oyster]

This is a specific amour set designed for very hot environments

You will look like the StayPuff Man

The amour is listed in the Undersuit category and don't forget the helmet. You can find it a most every Lagrange point mining store

[magic widget]

this one https://finder.cornerstonebase.space/FPSArmors1/13a8f1c2-9679-4e0f-8281-f88c20925a1a ?

[north oyster]

yep, that's it. Helmet also about the same price

[magic widget]

Okay roger

Tysm

So i should mine hadanite

then do i refine it or do i just sell

[north oyster]

Only hadanite. They are gems and do not require refining.

[magic widget]

Sweet

[north oyster]

You can sell them at any outpost or admin office

you bet, good luck. You will need to fly low and slow because the ping for the gems only show up within 1,200 meters

[magic widget]

roger

[north oyster]

Dolovine is trash but can be good practice. The other gem (don't recall name) is ok, but worth about half of hadanite

[magic widget]

okay

Im going to try to stick to just hadanite

I have a little experience mining in a mole with a friend but im a noob so i just hit what he says lol

[north oyster]

If you want to learn more, hook up with @thin escarp , his teams meet on the weekend they run a huge operation. You'll learn and earn good coin. Hook up with him if interested

[magic widget]

AYYYYYE will do homie

[storm dove]

so.. .i've now twice tried to sell my hadanite and other "gems" at Trade terminal in Admin's... not working.... is it only specific stations or what the heck is going on?

[autumn cedar]

Maybe try to sell it at the trade districts consoles in A18 or Loreville instead of admin office?

[safe siren]

Hello there, i'm new to mining, watched 100 mining videos, but I still have a problem : whenever I pull up to an asteroid cluster that appears on my scan, I cannot scan them further to see what's their composition, and I can't mine them either. It makes for a really non-efficient journey thus far!

[obsidian stone]

Thats a known bug. You're right in that it really hampers the efficiency of mining overall.

[safe siren]

Oh well ok! I rented a prospector for the first time and I find it hard to make money rn!

[daring scarab]

I'm going to rent a prospector, to try and make money, I don't feel comfortable jumping straight into quantianium, does anyone have any suggestions for where to go and what to mine?

[thin escarp]

don't rent

[safe siren]

Just did that for the first time, went in the asteroid belt (check aaron halo mining routes) and I'm mining Bexalite to get the hang of it

[thin escarp]

stock laser is trash

I have a mining guide pinned in this channel

[daring scarab]

well I have like 100k

so like I can't buy one

[thin escarp]

I suggest renting roc cutty combo

until you can buy one

[daring scarab]

Why?

[thin escarp]

you can make 175k a run in the roc

you won't make anything ina rental prospector

it's awful

I'll be on late tonight doin mole runs and all tmr

[daring scarab]

Is that an invite?

[thin escarp]

I always need crew

[safe siren]

Oh well hmu too if you have room 🙂

[thin escarp]

usually running several mole teams a night

[daring scarab]

I don't know what tmr or hmu is but I'm down to clown, have someone show me the ropes, because I'm totally green to this game.

[thin escarp]

dm me

I'll let ya kno when im on

tmr is tomorrow

btw

[safe siren]

hmu is hit me up haha

[daring scarab]

When you say tonight, how far away is tonight?

I only ask as it's 8pm here.

[thin escarp]

ahh it's 3pm here

[north oyster]

For some reason you can crack larger rocks in the asteroid belt then on the moon surface. Go for M type with Laranite. But most anything will do while you learn

[safe siren]

@north oyster the problem I encountered is that during my 5 hours of mining (on Aaron Halo and on Aberdeen), I did not see a single rock with more than 3% of a good mineral !

And what I see on YouTube people are finding 40-50% rocks!

[north oyster]

You need to get the information on Aaron Halo bands. There are 8 bands. In band 7 I found tons of bexilte, Laranite, etc

[safe siren]

I went to band 5! I will try another one

[north oyster]

5 had the highest density but that has never equated to good ore for me

Band 6 was really good for me also

[safe siren]

Good to know!

@north oyster also how do you know it's M type asteroid before mining it ? The scan tells you from far ? I did not notice it

[frank solstice]

is it worth getting the ROC DS or should one save up for a mining ship?

[tawny path]

does anyone know why my mining head would just disapper?

[harsh iris]

Only worth it if you have a friend that wants to drive

On the topic of ROC mining, I have found only one ROC-mineable node in the last 12 hours. Been checking Auberdeen, Caliope, the polar ends of planets, etc. It’s like they’re not spawning.

[north oyster]

When you switch to the mining laser head, it ID's the type of asteroid it is. Infact, it does it rather quick. The laser has a "better" scanner than the ship's regular scanner. There is a trick to where you can hover the mouse over the asteroid as you drift by that I saw on Farrister's video tonight but I've not experimented with that yet to learn about it.

[north oyster]

The ROC-DS is rather large and much more difficult to transport. It was more of a marketing ploy than a real work. The regular ROC is all you really want. I would say that both the ROC (with transport) and getting the Prospector are great plans

[north oyster]

Aberdeen and Arial are the highest populated locations of hadanite. The problem is the ping and scan issue that killed finding small deposits. This happened in 3.14. The problem with the ping was a known issue all through 3.14 being in the PTU. But CIG saw it fit to ignore the issue and release it as "works as designed"

The deposits do not show up until you are right on top of them. So Luck is the primary skillset here

you need to fly real low and find the right speed for you to both scan, you watch and avoid the ground for those small deposits to show up. All the while the trash returns from the large ore deposits crowd out the screen

[fervent oriole]

anyone mining?

could use some help ;p

i got those 3 quant rocks next to me ;p

[north oyster]

Check with Cross, he will have a big operation going that you can learn and earn a good bit

[fervent oriole]

i know how to mine ;p

[north oyster]

oh, my bad, sorry

[fervent oriole]

i just need help in breaking the rocks

cant do a 7k alone

without surge ;p

[north oyster]

Ok, I only saw your first part of your post, I missed the follow up after, I could use help, LOL

[fervent oriole]

yeah i get that haha

[north oyster]

I only mine in the Halo, it keeps me busy

[fervent oriole]

aight

[north oyster]

Good luck and best of successful mining. "may all your 32 SCU be Quantainium" 🙂

*or 96 if in a MOLE

[fervent oriole]

prospector

but i cant do it

wont go into optimal

its the 5600 mass one

nvm

finally went in there LOL

after 5 mins straight at 100% XD

1200 mass 100% quant

thats what we like to see LOL

just to get this LOLOLOL

[safe siren]

Is there a bug on the Halo? I can't mine 75% of the rocks I scan ... Been there for 45mn only found one minable rock xd

[fervent oriole]

i think the game is pretty bugged atm

atleast from my experience atm

[safe siren]

Yes it is, but I dont get why everyone says mining is the money maker when I can't find a single rock in almost an hour!

[fervent oriole]

it is

i got a load of 250k+

but i cant transport it

[analog field]

Two things if you are able to scan them you can mine them. And if you go that long with no good rock move

[fervent oriole]

so my ship will blow up

[analog field]

Try a different belt

@safe siren i found band 4 the best

[safe siren]

No, every single cluster I found that scans I can't mine. Well the tab scans work on them, I see the minable rock logo, and that's it, can't scan further or mine.

I tried three belts today without luck, I'm gonna hop on another one again i guess!

[analog field]

If it's that bad move servers

Shouldn't be that bad

[safe siren]

It's really awful and I hopped 3 times hahaha

might not be my day i'll try again sometime

[thin escarp]

@safe siren that's why I mine on lyria

[analog field]

Lyria is better in that aspect

[north oyster]

That's a server issue. If the server is sucking wind, you will get bad results. Unfortunately in the Halo, server is 100% factor

Like Cross mentions, when you are on a moon surface, that rarely happens.

[safe siren]

I will try moons then! Because yeah Halo has not been kind with me 😒

[north oyster]

right now the servers are also hosting the PTU testing and that is going roughly from what I hear. Lots of 30k

[astral flicker]

hey I have 6 quant rocks

and no mining ship

can anyone come in a mole and Ill spilt

[north oyster]

I have days like that too. Good luck on Lyria!

[safe siren]

ty !

[astral flicker]

are you in a mole?

[safe siren]

Nope rented prospector

THat's the problem also, every good quant rock I find I can't take haha

[astral flicker]

I need someone with a mole

Ill pay them in advance with 50k if they'll spilt even with me

[safe siren]

can't help you with that

[analog field]

@safe siren the rental prosp is butthole.

[safe siren]

It is! I just wanted to try it before farming 2 mil to get one, but honestly idk if i want to get into mining it seems so buggy xd

[past current]

What is the fastest

Selling to orison or tu lorville

Im ar crul1

[analog field]

Orison is also butthole

@safe siren most don't have that much issue. I pull 500k+ easily an hour

If you look up cross he can prob get you into a mole cre w

[thin escarp]

i just got home

aswell

[lean oyster]

if i find a field thats a gold mine, there is no way to bookmark the location to warp back is there?

[thin escarp]

throw a box down

like take a delivery mission

drop the box on said gold mine

[lean oyster]

u can warp to those?

[thin escarp]

no but you can see the marker

[high seal]

they have a beacon

[thin escarp]

i normally use a scout so i'll just have them sit on it

[lean oyster]

im in the belt, so need to drop out of warp to manually get here. Dropping a box prob wouldnt work

sounds like second account is needed LOL

[harsh iris]

Think I may melt my Connie andromeda for a prospector. Think it’s worthwhile? How much could I potentially make per load with stock parts until I can save up for upgrades?

[analog field]

You need upgraded laser plus mods

But it's only at Max 100k for the good fit

Refining the ore it's easy to get 150k plus per trip with quant

[harsh iris]

Problem is that I just returned to the game, so I’m currently sitting at like 20k. So even if I can use the ship to bring in 20-30k per load, I can work towards purchasing the upgraded laser and mods.

[analog field]

You'd be better off doing some basic bounty missions or even box missions to make that cash

[thin escarp]

@harsh iris whats your IGN man i'll send ya the money for a lancet.

[thin escarp]

first run of the night in the books.

@analog field

[harsh iris]

I did a few bounties and should be able to afford a Lancet. Think they're around 22.5k Should that be enough to at least get me started?

[thin escarp]

799k run

@harsh iris yes

def check out my guide

its pinned in trhis channel

[harsh iris]

Will do

[analog field]

It's great. Got me into it and once you get into mining it's easy to get any other ship you want

[main saddle]

What’s that a screenshot of?

[analog field]

How much quantanium in a run

[main saddle]

I mean the webpage? App?

[thin escarp]

@main saddle Built our own website for mining.

tracks literally everything

[main saddle]

That’s nifty

[thin escarp]

its nice for reports etc

even can break it down this far

anyone apart of the team has there own contracts page.

[marble crater]

Cool setup Cross!

[main saddle]

Wow. That’s really cool.

[marble crater]

You guys must be hanging for the Orion

[thin escarp]

we got these monthly reports that are super handy

So clearly you see we mine on lyria a bit

😄

[main saddle]

Yeah

[winter flare]

Wait, what.

Have you literally earned over 300M on mining?!

[thin escarp]

thats just a monthly report

well thats like 45 days

[winter flare]

holy shit.

[thin escarp]

thats across my whole mining group though.

i couldnt ss all the names ya know ;P

[winter flare]

How large is the group?

[thin escarp]

i mean my org is 365 people.

but not everyone mines

[winter flare]

Also what is the tax rate?

[thin escarp]

that tax is only on mining org night. but since i run the org i kinda donate 10% of each of my runs.

gotta pay for events etc ya know

we have our own racing league. and we like $$$ prizes

[winter flare]

wow, I love this degree of coordination and administration. It's impressive.

I'm doing somewhat the same although myself only and in Excel.

[thin escarp]

this is just the mining contracts page LOL

[winter flare]

There are other contracts too?

[thin escarp]

but we wanna make sure everyones getting paid.

no like my racing league is all tracked on the site.

[winter flare]

Oh okay. Cool.

Now I know who to blame for Lyria being so damned empty all the time! 😛 What website is that?

[main saddle]

Lol yeah I’m still stuck in Excel world. My supervisor is a Pandas aficionado and whips out data faster than I can contemplate it.

[thin escarp]

We built it from scratch.

its apart of our org website 😄

@winter flare for sure every saturday night

we'll take the blame

usually mine almost 20 mil every saturday

[winter flare]

Holy shit.

[thin escarp]

@main saddlewe all lived on excell

at one point my friend

[main saddle]

I see that FE is the most popular refining method. I prefer that one. 1/3 the time with minor loss in profit.

[thin escarp]

yeahh

thats cause most of us are in moles

prospectors dinyx aint bad

[main saddle]

I get impatient lol

That hull A looks pretty nice

[thin escarp]

i am so ready

for my orion tho

i have 2 of them

i hit billionaire with moles.

i'ma go for trillionaire with orions

[main saddle]

Oh. Only 48SCU for Hull A.

Dang. Billionaire

[winter flare]

Hull A's benefit supposedly isn't the SCU but rather the speed at which it loads. Not sure what it'll mean for us eventually, but I'm so ready for it as well. I pledged for the Hull D so this is one step close to the C loaner. 😄

[main saddle]

I have a RAFT, so I guess I already have the speedload.

[winter flare]

True.

I imagine the Hercules will be the most difficult ship to load (potentially) since it doesn't come with a tractor beam.

How can ARGO RAFT have less SCU than Hull A though?

[main saddle]

Haha, picked up a stranded player in my RAFT one time and turned out he had a bounty. I put that RAFT through some fancy flying and we landed at A18, withstanding a direct ramming by the BH.

[thin escarp]

@main saddle yeah the most i've ever had was 2.48 billion

[main saddle]

RAFT has 96 SCU @winter flare

Frack. Replied to myself when you posted, Cross lol.

[thin escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-another-one-one-more-time-gif-4816107

already got another 85+ run lined up

[main saddle]

I’m stuck on the fact that someone goes by the name “ButtMoan” 😆

[thin escarp]

lololol

he's a good dude

[main saddle]

Sounds like it 😄

[soft cedar]

nice guy thou

[main saddle]

I’m sad I was not more creative with my name.

[thin escarp]

😄

[main saddle]

Shoulda heard Subliminal trying pronounce mine on stream. He was like “what’s up with peoples names?” 😅

[thin escarp]

love that perfect 96 feeling

[brazen thistle]

pls, where i am suppose to land here in order to trading console recognize my ship ?

fist time trying little bit of cargo hauling...

[sacred loom]

There is 2 small pads normally next to the trading centre i believe on most outposts

[brazen thistle]

here is just this building, no pads. and when i land just next to the building it doesnt find my ship in trading terminal.

[sacred loom]

That me be a bug but i am not that experienced with it

sorry cannot help u more man

[brazen thistle]

np. i am going to park it somewhere and try to relog.

hopefully i wont lost my cargo.

[zealous moon]

is anyone else having issues with cargo despawning from the ship

mission related and additional finds

[coarse cape]

Could be falling out

@zealous moon what ship are you using to carry it

[zealous moon]

i have used the andromeda, the 315i, and the freelancer

[coarse cape]

For the andro and 315 did you pit them on the elevators?

[zealous moon]

the 315 i put some cargo in the cackpit area and some in the cargo bay all of it disapeared

[coarse cape]

Put*

Did you place them or drop them

Cuz if you drop them they’ll glitch out

[zealous moon]

the freelancer i put some cargo in the main cargo bay and it disaplpeared after i turned in one of the boxes

i placed them

[coarse cape]

Huh

Prob glitched out mid qt or flight

[zealous moon]

it doenst happen all the time but it happens enough to be frustrating especially when you fly an hr to get to a location

[coarse cape]

Yeah

[zealous moon]

yeah but how do i stop it from glitching out and why does it seem to be only me

[coarse cape]

Happens to a lot of people

Happens to me a lot which is part of the reason I don’t do box missions

[zealous moon]

well good to know that maybe its something that a lot of people are dealing with

[coarse cape]

Ye

[glacial dagger]

Dam bro, that's a fancy ass output page for your mining stuff. I'm still just rocking the basic 2x google forms (one for miners, one for scouts) and 5x google sheets (1 for reference data, 2 for calculations and 2 for displaying data)

[brazen thistle]

Hi Haulers. is there better/more accurate tool than this sc-trade.tools for planning hauling routes ? this one says to buy for 25/unit but when i got to the place its almost 28/unit 🤔 selling for 31 so its half of the profit from what SC trade tool say. or any tips how to do hauling for best profit ? those are my first attempts.

[coarse cape]

The price per unit on sc trade tools is the base price of the commodity from the game files so it won’t be accurate as commodity price changes all the time depending on how much it’s bought and sold

[thin escarp]

@glacial dagger built from scratch

data farms everything into reports.

[glacial dagger]

Same here bud, same here 😄

I could set it up to have a nice fancy output but ehh, why bother 😄

[main saddle]

It’s all motivation, I’d guess. Probably an org member really enjoys that sort of work and took on the project. 🙂

[glacial dagger]

Same for mine. With my setup, you can send a google forms link to all the miners and scouters to fill in each time they do something

It then puts all that data into spreadsheets

and crunches out the numbers

I even factored in a bank % if the event calls for it

[soft cedar]

its the back end part that makes it worth, cuz it helps track your orders and like all of the events both from CIG and the org

[glacial dagger]

This is true 😄

[thin escarp]

the website for us has been life changing haha

fuck I'm tired

[glacial dagger]

I do have my own trading/mining sheets for my own stuff, along with graphical outputs on each week, month and eventually, year of trading 😄

[thin escarp]

@soft cedar have u slept since that perfect run

[soft cedar]

you know i haven't lmao

[thin escarp]

[soft cedar]

qant don't mine itself

[main saddle]

You guys been up all this time? I just woke up 😄

[thin escarp]

oh no I went to bed at 7am

[main saddle]

Lol ok

[stable lion]

I've been noticing in the last two days that trade consoles are frequently out of stock compared to before, even trying a bunch of different outposts

[quartz copper]

same I was able to get a 1/2 load of Astatine in my caterpillar last night but getting

[thin escarp]

cause the events are over

people are going back to other game loops

[stable lion]

I've tried 2 outposts each on 3 moons

[quartz copper]

Laranite I never can get at all

[stable lion]

havent found any good places yet heh

astatine is almost as hard to get as laranite, and ive often seen titanium sold out too

[quartz copper]

I have not had any issues getting titanium, but I can see it starting to become an issue

[brazen thistle]

ahh, i see... and is there any app that would show real data ? or how you ppl deal with it. dont tell me that you fly from space to space to find out if something is worth to trade that moment.

[upbeat mantle]

lots of people are getting shot by players coming back to arc L1

[coarse cape]

It’s kinda hard to track exactly afaik since it’s constantly changing. But yeah sadly when I trade I just fly around to my normal spots to check. You can also check out Jack Axton on YouTube. He does commodity updates every week or so

[static cosmos]

Pretty much the best way to do it, will be more important later on cause API's they release wont be real time but based of the Data Gameplay Loops

[thin escarp]

@upbeat mantle server hop? i havent had issues in quite sometime

[upbeat mantle]

Yeah, probably a good Idea

[thin escarp]

yeah shitty pirates camp arc l1 tho it happens

[upbeat mantle]

Just tried VoiceAttack for the first time! Why didn't I do this ages ago?

[main saddle]

Yeah, it can get pretty detailed in what it does. I have it but just haven't taken the time to really see what I could do with it. I have one of those HCS voice packs for SC and I would always forget the specific command for something 😅

[daring scarab]

@thin escarp Are you looking for crew members today?

[shy crane]

so mostly asking from a fun/interesting point than money making.....what's better to spend UEC on right now.....a ROC (I have a Freelancer) or a Prospector?

[analog field]

For interesting, i like the roc. Fun is questionable though

Roc mining is Zen but kinda tedious ATM

[shy crane]

thanks....my vision is upgrading the Freelancer to the SM (?) and keeping the ROC inside....

[main saddle]

SM?

[shy crane]

thus the question mark....couldn't remember the model number

[coarse cape]

Do you mean hull series?

@shy crane

[main saddle]

I'm having a brain malfunction as to what SM is 😦

[coarse cape]

Same

Don’t think there’s a ship with sm

[shy crane]

it's not the Freelancer Max....it's in between

ok...i think I'm wrong...it IS the Max

[coarse cape]

Max is pretty cool

You can shove 4 rocs in there if you do it right

[shy crane]

I could have sworn there was another variant.....but anyways....that's how I was mapping out my mining career....just thought that would be more interesting

[thin escarp]

@shy crane def get a prospector

roc mining can be frustrating with bugs

[shy crane]

ok....guess if I work hard enough I can get both 😉

[main saddle]

Regarding ROC mining.. While I've been doing atmospheric bounties, occasionally, I get the diamond markers when I'm about 5-6km altitude. Below that, they disappear; but if I had my eye on where they were, when I get close enough, there are the gems.

ymmv

[hollow sedge]

How much do you get from ROC mining

[thin escarp]

I have a massive scale mining operation planned for tonight if anyone wants in. EQUAL cuts for all on board. shoot me a dm for info. we start gettin together around 9pm est

[past current]

Guys is it worth ot to buy a mole for solo mining or not

Live im doing solo prospector

[thin escarp]

its not that efficient

if u can get a small crew tho the mole is $$$

[main saddle]

yeah, running back and forth from the pilot seat to the mining laser is pretty annoying after a point

[rain shadow]

Where can I rent a prospector?

[analog field]

Don't rent em, the rental is butthole

[main saddle]

Refineries. The laser is kind of weak, but if you're looking to just try out ship mining, it's 51k auec for a 1-day rental (at least at Hur-L1)

[rain shadow]

I had one by mistake a month ago so bought mining modules then they took it away lol.

[thin escarp]

yeah that was for free fly

but rental you cannnot change anything

its garbage

i'd go the roc route until you can buy

[rain shadow]

Lol damn

[thin escarp]

also you can catch a ride on some of my moles tonight if you wanna make some damn good money. i'm running a massive mining op

[rain shadow]

Nice but I don’t think I’ll be around tonight. Another time maybe

[hollow sedge]

If I had a starlifter and was constantly filling it with Laranite and titanium how much would I make per hour?

[thin escarp]

you wont be constantly filling it

[hollow sedge]

Is uex corp still a reliable source

[brazen thistle]

bought ROC today, that little thing is quite nice. earned me around 110k on its first run and it was not even full (60/80) ... enjoyable experience... relaxing. any tip which planet should i visit for best profit ?

[main saddle]

Reeee. First time I’ve been ROC mining in months and my Internet craps out while I’m lasering a rock.

[glacial dagger]

How long did that take you??? And I recommend either Daymar or Abberdeen

[brazen thistle]

to be honest, i have no idea. i was flying slowly, i have Cutty and in atmosphere when going too fast it tend to push nose down... and few times while driving around i got lost and couldn't find ship for a while 😄 so lets say maybe...idk 2hours ? i was on daymar, so next time i will try the other one.

[glacial dagger]

Huh, sounds like you had a lucky day then

But yh, 80m/s or slower, as low as you can and ping constantly

The three golden rules for ROC mining

[main saddle]

I was just on Arial and 3 nodes of Aphorite marker showed up and I was several km away from it. Odd.

Lol I was mining it when my connection died.

[brazen thistle]

is that considered a lucky day ? usually it takes longer to fill it up ? i have found one spot where was like 8 or so stones together. unfortunately just blue ones. But better than nothing 😄 and i dont ping. ping shows stones from far away and that confuse me then. i found it better with only pasive scan.

[main saddle]

For me, pinging planetside is like saying , “Hey, I’m over here!” 😅

[hollow sedge]

If I did the top one would I be getting 70k every 8 minutes? Don’t rlly know how trading works

[shy crane]

ya see....I think I want to buy a ROC....and THEN save up for the Prospector....that way I can just land...ROC out and get going ....

keep it loaded in my Freelancer

[main saddle]

I rented a ROC for 4.8k for a day.

[brazen thistle]

it is cheap. only 170k

[main saddle]

Yeah

[brazen thistle]

2 runs and it earns it back

[shy crane]

I just think the ROC would be more fun....did ship mining in EVE and Elite....wanna do something different

[main saddle]

I had one before the wipe

[shy crane]

oh AND Jumpgate

[thin escarp]

@main saddle you wanna come to my mining op tonight?

[hollow sedge]

Guys can someone help me work some cargo stuff out

Does this mean I get 70k every 9 minutes ?

[main saddle]

I was thinking about it. My router crashed or my internet went wonky a few minutes ago. Rebooted and checking if it’s gonna behave

[thin escarp]

@hollow sedge no because that means theres stock

and theres not

[brazen thistle]

yes and no. time is approximate, how long the travel will take and so on. also the prices are not accurate. i tried that route today and the profit was half of what that tool said. and also, i couldnt fill up my small ship at one place, had to visit 2. so i gave up, bought ROC and went mining 😄

[thin escarp]

all the servers share the same stock

[hollow sedge]

So you got 35k for 9 mins

[thin escarp]

lol.

every single server shares the same stock. you'll be waiting around for server ticks.

get rid of the time frame and yes you can make 35k-70k when the stock is available.

cargo has been really sus for the last 2 years.

@main saddle def should try to make it. its big $$$ and you'll always learn something 😄

[hollow sedge]

I just wanna know the best cargo method

[thin escarp]

lemme know cause were gonna start at 10pm

[brazen thistle]

i have cutlass only, so it was supposed to be around 30k for me... but it was 15 at the end. and it took longer bcs i had to load at 2 places. and i bought everything there so probably if i would go again the same place it would be empty.

[thin escarp]

^

cargo is a absolute mess

[hollow sedge]

Idk man I heard that cargo is easy and profitable

I just want something chill that I can make a lot from

[thin escarp]

yeah no

[brazen thistle]

everyone wants that 😄

[thin escarp]

its brain numbing.

because like i said

every server shares the same supply

[hollow sedge]

What does that even mean@

[thin escarp]

so across all servers when people go to that station

and buy cargo

it clears it on yours too.

[hollow sedge]

Right

[thin escarp]

hence everyone is begging for scraps.

[hollow sedge]

What if I bought stuff that no one else buys

[thin escarp]

cause theres such a tiny supply

you gotta buy the stupid beyond low profit stuff

might aswell mine

mining is $$$ and very chill

[hollow sedge]

Ok

[thin escarp]

and you still have to deliver

so you still get the cargo feel

[hollow sedge]

I was gonna get a starlifter and grind cargo but if mining is better I’ll get a prospector and pocket the other 3 mil

[thin escarp]

get a cargo ship

to go with it

like a connie

[brazen thistle]

its not that different 😄 still laser mining of some kind. honestly, the most enjoyable mining for me has ED, deep core when you cracked roid 😄 Best feeling ever 😄

Anyway, go for that ROC, but buy the smaller version. i am not sure if you would fit bigger one into free lancer (i wont into cutlass). 0.8 cargo is more than enough. bigger version has 2 and it would take half of the day to fill it up 😄 ... and bigger one cant control laser from pilot seat, you would need to swap seats each time you wanna mine.

[main saddle]

Coolio. My connection seems to be stable.

[fair wagon]

Can anybody tell me how I get a ship in my fleet manager? I upgraded a hoverquad to a mole for the life time warranty, but it’s not showing up in my fleet manger. I can see all my ships and quads in my hanger online.

[main saddle]

Did you apply the upgrade in your hangar (on the website)?

[fair wagon]

yeah

[main saddle]

Are you at your home location?

[fair wagon]

yeah

[rancid egret]

hi friends, so for the covalex mission of box delivery for (45,000 aEUC), if i keep doing it and max the rep. will i get a money bonus? or better paying box delivery missions or is this pretty much it?

[glacial dagger]

That's how pinging used to be, but now your pings don't show up on other people's huds

[deep vector]

It

[rancid egret]

lt?

[analog field]

I know bounty missions pay more with more rep. I think they need to say plus bonuses

[vestal zodiac]

im assuming refining orders don't cross server do they?

[thin escarp]

@vestal zodiac what

they dont just disapear

[vestal zodiac]

oh, so if i started one i can change servers away from these babies measuring dicks in chat?

[analog field]

Nope they just stay

Can have as many as you want. Non minor patches wipe em

[buoyant stone]

yo is anyone wiling to mine with me in a prospector for 50/50

[vestal zodiac]

I would if I knew what i was doing.... i just wasted 23k buying the wrong size laser u__u

[thin escarp]

@vestal zodiac i always got seats on my mole available

you can get a fat check just using a laser a lil bit

[vestal zodiac]

XD maybe after my next run is done

[vestal zodiac]

@thin escarp -- im heading back to the refinery, when im done I'm available (might reboot though to clear lag)

[clear badge]

I'm having trouble finding anything with up to date info, maybe I missed something recently, however I overheard SaltEMike mention the Hull E having 8k SCU, and I've heard another content creator mention the Hull A has 64? and each size up just doubles the capacity? as a rule of thumb I don't trust the ship info on the website since that is never accurate, what is the official SCU capacity of the Hull series ships? I CCUd to a C, under the impression it'll have like 4k scu or whatever it's been advertised as, but now it seems like it'll be closer to like 512?

[clear badge]

there's conflicting information

the reason I don't trust the ship info on the website is because of stuff like this

[shell edge]

@clear badge Well, based on the image of the HULL A above there, it will fit 64 SCU... 4 x (4 x 2 x 2) SCU = 64 SCU

[shell edge]

Not sure what the most recent external image of a loaded Hull C is, IAE 2950 had this displayed: https://starcitizen.tools/images/d/db/IAE2950-day-5-hull-c-front.jpg and from IAE 2951 https://starcitizen.tools/File:IAE2951-day9-misc-hull-c-holo.jpg . Looks like there are 8 loading arrays, each holding at least 18 times 32 SCU (each of the containers seems to be of the dimensions 2 x 2 x 8). if this the case, then we have 8 x 18 x 32 = 4608 SCU displayed on the picture. Now, there seems to be some space not utilized at the end of each loading array, not sure if that is going to be used for cargo or something else.

[north oyster]

great info, I'm going to use my 400i as an LTI for the HULL C, I already have the CCU. Should be sweet when that comes online. I'm pretty sure that filling her 4K + of SCU will be contract and reputation based. The idea of front cash to filler her up is a scary thought.

[tawdry glade]

That’s what I was thinking when I lost a C2 full of meds during a ninetails event that was rough and with that I could make my money back in two runs. Imagining losing 5 times that is too much for me. I hope they rework trade I really enjoyed trading in elite dangerous but it sucks in SC

[tawdry glade]

You can also just hit f12 and turn off chat

[tawdry glade]

@thin escarp can a helix 2x reiger torrent III crack an 8k rock? Lots of nights I have less than an hour to play so I like to do quick solo runs. I have found solo I can crack up to about 7.5k with a double surge stampede lancet, but I couldn’t break an 8.1k last night no matter how hard I tried. Looking to swap one of my moles lasers out for something more powerful but I can’t find any data on size limits for each mining head

[rancid egret]

anyone know the best mining planet for Hadanite ? preferably near arccorp?

[dense surge]

hey what are some good sites to see what i can trade the best?

[marble crater]

Quite a few sites around I like
https://www.gallog.co/commodities
https://sc-trade.tools/home

[north oyster]

A good resource is Jack Axton's videos on trade. He did one a couple of months ago that is still valid. It's called the trade refresher course

I'll link it when I get up a computer

[lilac arch]

How profitable is Prospector mining?

is it really worth doing?

[thin escarp]

@tawdry glade I got 2 different mole loadouts. but I don't solo

@lilac arch 200-270k a run if ya got some skill

I have a guide pinned in this channel

@rancid egret best moon for hadanite is aberdeen

followed by arial

[lilac arch]

How long does a typical run take

like on average

[thin escarp]

@lilac arch like 15-30 mins for me

but we gotta refine the mined resources

then transport to sell

so its a full game loop

@tawdry glade I can't recommended helix for solo. it's not gonna work out for ya

[dense surge]

thank you!

[dense surge]

thanks! i will check it out

[north oyster]

The Prospector is the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs for the solo player. Once skilled enough, you can pull over 1M aUEC per day (roughly 4 or 5 runs). A full 32SCU of Quan refined (3131 yield at CRU-L1) will result in over 275,000 aUEC per trip.

I only did about 6 runs this past week because of PTU testing and RL interrupts, that still got me roughly 1,000,000 aUEC at market.

He covers all the viable routes (still valid for 3.16.1) and earnings from different class of ships.

[whole vapor]

does anyone run a stealth prospector?

[devout thistle]

No, because stealth doesn’t work right now

[lilac arch]

whats the best mining head for prospector?

[analog field]

Lancet

[north oyster]

You can decrease your signature and a number of people have done that. SuperMacBrother did a video on that from build 3.12 (iirc) that might have some valid information to check out. CIG did a change on ship components as they try to rebalance the game play. I'm not sure how that has come along and if components that were once all normalized have begun to have their performance begin to match their reported specifications

[north oyster]

right now the lancet is the meta because it offers the best green zone for those who mine Quantainium. This of course might change soon (I fully anticipate some changes for 3.17 as they incorporate attachable gadgets)

[tawdry glade]

I run stealth components. It doesn’t make a difference right now but may in the future once they reimplement stealth

I switched out my quantum from the spectre to the atlas because I bounce back and forth between cru-l1 and arc-l1

To further illustrate my point in stealth I have a retaliator with all stealth components no weapons and removed one shield and cooler. I was in a YT video during jumptown where I was being targeted from 20km away

[thin escarp]

@lilac arch the mining guide thats pinned in this channel has lots of prospector loadouts. lancet is best.

[hollow sedge]

What’s The best ship for trading

[quartz copper]

Caterpillar holds a lot you can make 100K profit off a load of 576 SCU Titanium but its slow

[quiet night]

C2 works well for me for the bigger runs as does the MSR which works well for running my mining/smaller loads

[hollow sedge]

How do I scan rocks?

[thin escarp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykDBXb9RajM

@hollow sedge

[hollow sedge]

So what’s better for cargo c2 Hercules or caterpillar?

[coarse cape]

C2 has 696 scu while cat has 576

Though bigger the cargo hold the more starting funds you need to trade

Both will need like 1mil minimum

[hollow sedge]

Damn

[coarse cape]

Or well like 800k

Just depends on the commodity

Taurus is pretty solid choice for starting. 174 scu and you need like 150k - 200k to start

[sour cairn]

just run scrap with the c2 93k till you can run better cargo

[coarse cape]

Or that

Forgot scrap works now

[open plaza]

is it possible to eject something from the prospector

like certain mineral

s

[coarse cape]

No

[quasi dragon]

no

[open plaza]

ah shit

[coarse cape]

You can eject when you have quant in it but it ejects all of it

[open plaza]

yeah thats the one i want to keep

but I actually had some success with mining

yay

what refinery should I use

as in which process

[past current]

Which ground vehicles should i buy ?

[open plaza]

Also can I refine several loads at once?

[past current]

Personally i will go for the ursa but is it the best one?

[open plaza]

for mining?

[past current]

Nop just a good one

[open plaza]

Well this seems like the wrong channel lol

[past current]

Hh

[open plaza]

but depends on what you want to do with it

[past current]

Hh k

Mining is litteraly the best way to make money

I made 3.1 millions this week🤑

[past current]

Use Dynix or something like that

[past current]

Yup

[open plaza]

bounty hunting is great too

made like a million a day

[past current]

Shiitttt

[open plaza]

~150k for a ERT&VHRT Group combined

which takes lets say 20 min?

maybe more

do several of those and you're getting good money

[quasi dragon]

depending on what ship you have you can make easily 600k an hour doing bounties

[open plaza]

atm I'm more limited by my pc then my ship which is why i set that number a bit lower

[quasi dragon]

fair enough but bounty hunting is really good money for anyone

just combat might take some getting used to if youre new

[open plaza]

the hammerhead can seem quite scary

[quasi dragon]

on low pop servers its aim can be godly

its the one and only time ive died doing bounties and it caught me off guard

[open plaza]

I was on a 5 people server once but decided to mine instead

seemed a bit scary

[shy crane]

Doing delivery missions.... my level two bar is full on Delphi.... still getting 8000 uec missions and bar not moving... that normal?

... and yes, all for the same company

[marble crater]

try relogging

sometimes mission rank ups fail to register

[shy crane]

I think I have once already.... but I'll try again later on... thanks

[rain shadow]

Hey whats the trick to finding Hadanite etc? All I keep finding are rocks?

[chrome jay]

ayo did they fix the cargo thing where ships don't get detected if there's no landing pad ? so like scrapyard, jumptown etc

[fringe kettle]

Tfw I spend a literal hour in the halo and can't find a single quant rock over 10%

[rain shadow]

All I find when pinging is rocks, no diamonds

[rain shadow]

Pretty sure this ROC is bugged, Displays are folded back and mining laser doesnt deploy? Am I doing something wrong lol?

[analog field]

Well that's odd

[marble crater]

is that the ROC DS?

[rain shadow]

Yes

I did ROC mining a few patches ago and this just worked lol, M for mining mode and away u go

[marble crater]

ROC DS is for 2 people. The driver cannot operate the mining arm. The screens are slanted for the laser operator on the right

you'll have to get in position, then jump out and switch to the mining arm

[thin escarp]

@open plaza ferron exchange and dinyx solventation

i also have a mining guide in this channel that will help ya alot.

its pinned

@rain shadow fly low under 1000 alt

and fast.

id start on aberdeen

[rain shadow]

Thanks guys

[rain shadow]

By fast u mean 80m/s and over

?

[thin escarp]

80?? thats so slow.

i go 500m/s in my mole LOL

[rain shadow]

I'd seen someone say to fly slower than 80

[thin escarp]

you gotta cover alot of ground

well they are derpy as hell LOL

no wonder your not finding anything

[rain shadow]

LOL

thx

[burnt wraith]

what is the laser i see in videos that lets you move cargo?

[deep vector]

Tractor beam

[tawdry glade]

Just cracked a single rock with 61.23 scu of quant in it

[tawny path]

nice

[deep vector]

Picture?

[marble crater]

Awesome stuff! I got 69.31 the other day was my best solo single rock yet. Was hoping to crack the 70 mark

[deep vector]

Damn!

[fathom stirrup]

I just ran out of fuel on my way to the refinery... and continued to drift close enough to get a parking violation and get impounded

such relief

[marble crater]

lol take that as a win

[verbal elk]

What is the best moon/band to mine quant with aprospector?

[tawny path]

lyria

[verbal elk]

ok thanks

[tranquil nebula]

Does anyone have a updated list of mineral prices

[tawdry glade]

I didn’t still haven’t figured out how to screenshot. I mapped my print screen button as open all doors and GeForce experience is off

[tawdry glade]

It was nuts percentage like 49.25 or something on a 6.1k rock

I was hoping the rock next to it would be decent but still happy with that for a quick run

[naive sinew]

Anyone know if the raft is a solid cargo hauler to use?

[toxic oyster]

it got 96 SCUs, with the current profit margin you wont get much out of that

[tawdry glade]

C2, cat, or nothing

[toxic oyster]

that is sadly the truth

[naive sinew]

SHIT

Why did I ever buy it 😦

I thought it was a solid choice

I thought it would pay out in the long run

Damn

Thank you for the info

[toxic oyster]

you can always upgrade or melt it
and with the eventual cargo refractor it should become a lot better (in theory)

[naive sinew]

Cargo Refractor?

[toxic oyster]

at some point you will have to physically load cargo

and the raft got a tractor beam for that

[naive sinew]

Hmmm

The space is the only issue I currently see tbh, you think it will be upgradeable in a worth keeping sense? Or should I consider swapping it out.

[toxic oyster]

and imo going for max value becomes stale quite fast, I enjoy a bunch of suboptimal gameplay loops
