[robust osprey]

for sure, im getting quicker again its nice. gonna try the 90 degrees thing today

[weak hound]

Oh wow ok

[north oyster]

I generally scan all asteroids, because I do find some nice solo Quan. It does lower my average turn around rate but I'm ok with that

[weak hound]

So about how long in terms of timeframe?

[north oyster]

Band 1 has been a little disappointing since the LIVE update. I hope it was because the server hated me and not a normal result now

[robust osprey]

band 6 has been best for me but i havent tried band 5 this update much

[north oyster]

I can't answer because I focus on job process and not hourly rate. I would say, if going for 50% load (recommended over trying to get a full load), you should be making turns every 30 minutes or so. So to figure a 150 to 175k aUEC every 30min might be reasonable

[weak hound]

Jfc

Ok

[north oyster]

Thanks, I had always considered 4 & 6 to be good bands, I will go check them again

[north oyster]

ProTip: QT to OM-1 and dive down to the surface there. It is always daylight there

Be aware that the Altimeter is broken, so don't do like I did in the PTU and cratered like a Lawn Dart

[weak hound]

Can you DM this info to me? It'll get lost in the chat lol

[north oyster]

done

[weak hound]

Ty

[north oyster]

Just hit me up anytime if you have questions

[weak hound]

Sent a friend request

On Discord

What time is it for you?

[north oyster]

Got it, my SC handle is the same as here

I'm on EST, so it's about 15 until 11AM

[weak hound]

Ok

I get off work around 6 or 7 your time

At the latest I'll be on around 8 pm your time. Just depends on if I have a ride from work

[north oyster]

I don't get to play as much as I wish I could atm, RL is being very needy

[fair slate]

I moved 50 million in a 9 days lol

[weak hound]

That's a mood

[fair slate]

I had 4 or 5 scouts working for me at the same time tho

Technically 48,736,142

[north oyster]

that's a great average, reminds me of when I was at the peak of my earnings, I slowed down when I got up to about 750M aUEC in the bank

[robust osprey]

damn how much where you paying em

[fair slate]

A lot.

[north oyster]

Cross crossed the Billion mark, I wasn't that motivated, LOL

[north oyster]

I use to do about 50K for good rocks (with bonuses).

[fair slate]

I needed to move money so I was paying that in percentage

🤣

[north oyster]

ouch, but hey, I know they appreciated it

That's how Cross runs their training and earning machine

equal cuts

[visual turret]

Y'all makin me want grind hardcore so I can get back into ROC mining

[north oyster]

Nice thing is that you don't have to grind hard to get into ROC mining. Entry is very reasonable. for less than 55K aUEC you can rent a ROC, Cutty and buy the Pembroke armor and earn back everything plus some in one trip

[visual turret]

Yeah that is true

but I like decking my cutty out though

atleast with faster QT drive

[north oyster]

ok, if you already have a cutty, then you have the lionshare of the expense behind you. The ROC is only 172K to buy (I think you said you already had one?) so you're good to go

[visual turret]

Used to have an cutty before wipe

I might CCU to a cutty soon

When I have money to afford that

[north oyster]

That was my first action in the game. I started with a Titan (loved it) but soon CCU'd to the cutty

[visual turret]

My first ship was an aurora

[north oyster]

The Cutlass Black is the Swiss Army Knife of Star Citizen.
Good at everything, Great at Nothing

[visual turret]

Yep

Im still sad how slow it turns now

They butchered my boy

[austere void]

Whats the best way to make money without fighting? I have a titan

[visual turret]

Uhhhh

[north oyster]

Deliveries

Or Vice trade

[visual turret]

Cargo missions might be worth while but I havent touched them after it got changed

Rescue beacons can be worth alot if you get right people or being kind

[austere void]

do the deliveries get better than 3000 :p

[north oyster]

The illegal monitors can be great and there is a way to do it and not have to dog fight NPCs

[visual turret]

And investigation missions which might have some ground PvE action or mines

or space

[austere void]

I get shredded by the NPC's

[north oyster]

Ok, here's the tip you need then

[robust osprey]

man im looking at trading laranite in my c2 maybe im not considering something but it looks like a ticket to print free money

[north oyster]

When you arrive at the site to find the illegal monitors, DO NOT shoot them

[robust osprey]

1.7 mil investment 2.1mil payout thats some solid profit

[north oyster]

Find all three monitors first, and get about 1500 meters from them and you will get a persistent PIP. Once you have located all three, then blow them up one after another.

[visual turret]

Yeah

[austere void]

thats what i do but they shred me apart lmao

[north oyster]

you can then bug out and not fight the NPCs

[visual turret]

I remember the one time I had pirate cat show up when I was first grinding them

[north oyster]

humm, ok, just not flying fast enough between targets

[austere void]

oh wat

[real axle]

Yo is the C2 Hercules worth it

[north oyster]

I love it, awesome ship and it makes trade good again

[austere void]

they gang up on me when i get the monitor and start shooting it

[real axle]

Niice. Just looking for a nice ship to go with my mole

[north oyster]

She will serve you well, fun ship

And during 9TL you can a million per trip

[thin escarp]

@north oyster def will be a huge operation going this Saturday.

we will have 6-9 mole teams shooting for 25 mil again.

[north oyster]

Awesome, that rocks

Literally

[visual turret]

Sounds like fun

[thin escarp]

@visual turret

[visual turret]

[thin escarp]

Aslong as ya have good intentions and 18+ you can come.

[visual turret]

Alright

[austere void]

Is it worth upgrading the ship? better weapons?

[visual turret]

I have mine kitted out

I can send you an erkul loadout

[north oyster]

You want to make sure you only run Laser repeaters, not ballistics right now

[visual turret]

I just realized I should've went with mirages because they still have same stats expect for IR / ER

unless I'm wrong

[austere void]

The repeaters are "badger" not the mantis yeah?

[robust osprey]

how do you get involved in your mining op? ngl it sounds kinda cool

[thin escarp]

@robust osprey just shoot me a dm.

[north oyster]

Cross and his team has one of the best mining ops going in the game. You'll definitely learn and earn good coin

[visual turret]

Is there an video of an past operation?

[thin escarp]

No but I can show ya reports.

[visual turret]

That's good enough

[thin escarp]

we collect data on everything and use that information

just need a few hours im checking out of my hotel right now

[visual turret]

Alright

take your time
👍

[thin escarp]

we've mined over a half billion in 2022 so far I can tell ya that

[austere void]

Ive seen their reports;; its intense 😄

[visual turret]

Half an billion?

god damn

[toxic citrus]

Any good spots to start looking from in lyria?

In a prospector

[somber spade]

How tf

[thin escarp]

@somber spade

[north oyster]

LOL

[somber spade]

Note to self: get into mining.

[thin escarp]

but yes large very efficient miming operations.

Been running major mining ops for years.

[somber spade]

Well uh. If I ever get a computer built that can play. I’ll make sure to ask questions

[toxic citrus]

Cross, any lyria location suggestions?

[thin escarp]

I like the pir

pit

[toxic citrus]

Rightyo

[thin escarp]

and buckets

[toxic citrus]

Will check it out

[visual turret]

Is that with prospector or ROC mining?

[toxic citrus]

Dunno

Im seeing a lot of ROC minables too

[knotty mountain]

Seems like 3.17 has less quant on lyria 🤷🏾‍♂️

[toxic citrus]

Eh, they are more reliably scannable

than on the aaron halo for example

[thin escarp]

@knotty mountain

[knotty mountain]

Idk lol I see a lot more gems and the pairs im finding aren’t guaranteed quant anymore 💔

[toxic citrus]

I've seen quite a few rocks

But not high %

[knotty mountain]

Was mining millions in 3.16 😅 much fun

[toxic citrus]

Yeah i could've made big bucks in aaron halo

Now the rocks there just buggy af

cant even scan 90% of the time

o7

lol wrong chat im guessing

[knotty mountain]

Yeah I’m hoping for a patch soon 💀 sorta seems like they’re pushing quant mining into the asteroids but I don’t have any data on that yet ☹️

[exotic mural]

yeah sorry :p

[toxic citrus]

Happens to the best of us

[high wren]

is caterpillar available for purchase? i thought it was but didnt see buying options, unless it was just that version of it I was looking at

[toxic citrus]

In game or pledge?

[high wren]

ingame

[toxic citrus]

ah

Second, please

[high wren]

would buy it as a pledge (cash) but be able to use it immediately, no loaner etc

[toxic citrus]

Right, its in lorville new deal

According to wiki at least

[high wren]

k, thx

[toxic citrus]

👍

[wooden forum]

What is the max mass that a normal prospector mining head can handle?

[toxic citrus]

A basic one?

[wooden forum]

Yep

[toxic citrus]

I'd say maybe 4.5k

You really wanna get the lancet mh1

that can do 5.5k ones

[wooden forum]

because my friend has a rented one but he can’t even do 3.3k

[toxic citrus]

Oh yeah

Never rent a prospector

They suck lol

[wooden forum]

Why not ?

ow

[toxic citrus]

You cant change the mining head i think

So

Yeah.

You really want to buy one

and then put upgrades on it

[wooden forum]

Any tips how he can get 2 million to buy one ?

[serene pawn]

yeah that kinda sucks just got the prospector to use in 3.17 and boom so annoying to find clusters of quant which cant be scanned:(

[toxic citrus]

I myself grinded halt illegal surveilances

[toxic citrus]

Go to lyria

All rocks so far there have been scannable

and just found a 45% rock

[serene pawn]

defend missions are easy if u gear up a lil (in 3.16 you could've just afk'd but rip)

[toxic citrus]

Had to break it down with the help of a friend tho it was 5.6k mass

[serene pawn]

oh dayum ok ty I tried lyria but had no luck so i'll try it again

[toxic citrus]

Try QT:ing to "The pit"

I found the rock near it

and apparently its a good spot

[serene pawn]

Oke ty will do

[toxic citrus]

Remember to bring a friend or take a mining gadget

[serene pawn]

what for ?

[toxic citrus]

Some rocks might be too big for prospector

[serene pawn]

ahh

[toxic citrus]

for example it cant break a 5.6k alone

[serene pawn]

not even with modules?

[toxic citrus]

Eh, maybe?

[humble kelp]

You can definitely break up to around 7k with a couple surges and a stampede but yeah 5.5 is about the limit with the laser alone and it’s a toss up and might take a while

Also when do y’all usually take your refinery jobs to sell? I just started and mine are starting to build up a bit

[lilac patio]

Any major city

[north oyster]

I miss the days when the Helix was king. CIG so nerfed the hell out of it because it was so good. The lancet has that coming too

[lilac patio]

I do it at arc corp so I bring it to area 18

[north oyster]

Same, Area18 is my home base and also where I bring my refined ore

[lilac patio]

Also, the tdd in area 18 is really easy to get to

[toxic citrus]

When ever i like to

Id recommend bringing when you have about 6 order done

[somber spade]

I’m guessing there’s no way a person can solo a mole?

[toxic citrus]

You can

But it takes way too much effort to go between the flight seat and the laser seat

For solo, go with a prospector

[serene quest]

Though with the new mining items you can certainly make that work. I've def mined quant on Lyria with a stock prossy (some reason my lancet was swapped out)

[toxic citrus]

Im sure you can

But the mass amounts arent anything great thats for sure

[serene quest]

fair lol

[empty kite]

Just let them stack up till you can fill your transport ship. A18 isn’t that far away

[humble kelp]

What’s y’all’s go to cargo ship for taking it? It’s the next ship I need so I can stop having to mess with renting. From all the things I see a freelancer max is a good bang for your buck

[sage kernel]

is there a new meta for mining yet? 🙂

[manic estuary]

new tricks.... ping, reduce to 22deg, scan again to find amount of rocks

some YT vids are up on 3.17 scanning changes

hit up lyria and was able to find a cluster immediately with that method

[wooden forum]

Anyone know what ship and route is best for cargo rn ?

[empty kite]

Could use a freelancer or a Constellation I hear are good bang for buck. I roll around in a carrak cause fk it baller m8

[humble kelp]

Yeah I’m really tempted to just forgo the freelancer for like a C2 just to get a nicer ship that feels a lot cooler than a space truck

[manic estuary]

too slow for me, i need that runner speed

I use the MSR for my quant deliveries.. never want to take more than 100scu at a time anyways.. C2 for trading / nine tails

[empty kite]

Yeah that’s the better way to go if you got the bank for sure

[earnest lion]

Has the range at which you can detect rocks been lowered?

If so what's the best way to look for Quantanium now?

[toxic citrus]

Yep

[toxic citrus]

Same as usual

Go up to them and scan em

Though you can see if its quant or not from far away

Keep an eye out for rocks with orange small circles

[earnest lion]

Before I used to just fly in a direction at 500 M/s until a cluster of 2 or more popped in.

[toxic citrus]

Nah nah

[earnest lion]

They were always Quantanium.

I can't do that now.

[toxic citrus]

You dont wanna do that anymore

Also

Go to lyria

Way better for quant rocks

[earnest lion]

This other way of going to every box and scanning the rock is very slow.

[toxic citrus]

Found a 45% 5.6k mass today

[earnest lion]

I've been mining for a while now I know Lyria is best, as well as the flats around mountains.

[toxic citrus]

And took only like 30 mins of looking

[earnest lion]

Clio is also very good.

[toxic citrus]

Its pretty crazy

[hollow sedge]

time to do some griefing at lyria

[toxic citrus]

Good luck finding anyone on there

Miners dont go to any QT locations

I just drop off before i reach one and go to the surface

[earnest lion]

Good luck getting away scot free if you grief me :)

[toxic citrus]

Prospectors can fight back now too

Since the stock one has badgers

Sure it might not be good

[earnest lion]

I usually hire a my friend as a scout with his Arrow which can also serve as protection, but I also have a friend which has every ship in the game so getting revenge against griefers is pretty fun.

[toxic citrus]

I sometimes have a scout, ship varies

Usually i run alone

[hollow sedge]

how ever much ur paying ur scout, its not enough

[earnest lion]

Why is that?

He and I together worked out the rates.

[toxic citrus]

I pay 50k per good rock and they've never complained

[earnest lion]

We worked out at least for now 33k per rock, so 3 rocks per 100k.

[neat talon]

i dont know any good trade routes, can someone dm me some

[toxic citrus]

Sc trade tools exists

And there are multiple more

[hollow sedge]

smo 10 and 22 to the commons in microtech

80k ish per run.

[fossil scaffold]

Can you mine quantanium with the prospector rental?

[toxic citrus]

Unlikely

[thin escarp]

@fossil scaffold no

[toxic citrus]

Only some really small rocks

[fossil scaffold]

Gotchu. Thanks

[toxic citrus]

Wont be worth the time

[thin escarp]

@somber spade@visual turret

couldnt scroll through whole list but theres the top 😄

512 million so a little over a half billion

[somber spade]

I’m a mildly bit confused. But goddamn

[minor slate]

Is the Mole worth it for a solo player?

Or should I just stick to the Prospector

[toxic citrus]

Prospector.

[knotty mountain]

What site is that @thin escarp

[toxic citrus]

Mole is way too time consuming solo

[thin escarp]

Thats my org website. we have a mining contract system

[sage kernel]

havent even hit a billion yet... noobs

[thin escarp]

that simplifies payouts. calculates how much you'll make and gives the end refining time so the rest of the team knows when they will be paid

[robust widget]

in my experience the stock head is too unstable for quant

[sage kernel]

you can use a gadget now tho

[toxic citrus]

Not unstable, but lacks the power

[robust widget]

that too.. but the power level was all over the place and couldnt hold it stead even if I could get in the green

[thin escarp]

@knotty mountain

[toxic citrus]

Rightyo

[thin escarp]

its pretty dope.

[sage kernel]

what a childish name

imagine spending $2500 in a game and picking 'got your wife pregnant' as your user name

[thin escarp]

imagine caring.

lol

let people live man who cares.

[toxic citrus]

Its a fucking game

[thin escarp]

legit theres a guy named buttmoan in the next contract

[toxic citrus]

lol

[sage kernel]

its called standards.. of which you do not have

[thin escarp]

standards over someones name? i care about if they listen and work well in a team.

[sage kernel]

okay 'got your wife pregnant'

[thin escarp]

Its not me? who cares.

[toxic citrus]

Its literally a virtual name

[thin escarp]

He's a solid ass dude.

LOL

fr

[toxic citrus]

Why do you even care

[sage kernel]

man 'got your wife pregnant' sure does play star citizen alot mining alot

'got your wife pregnant' sure has a lot of aUEC

[thin escarp]

did u read?

[ember star]

Is this the hill you want to die on?

[thin escarp]

i think you didnt.

go look at the picture again

[sage kernel]

i dont give a shit

[thin escarp]

clearly you do

[sage kernel]

ok 'got your wife pregnant'

whatver you say 'got your wife pregnant'

[thin escarp]

I'm Crossfires?

[ember star]

Someone must've gotten his wife pregnant

[toxic citrus]

Prolly got cheated on

Hes just venting rn

[sage kernel]

do you go out to the bar and be like yo this is my boy 'got your wife pregnant' he is a cool dude

[thin escarp]

no because this is a online game.

toxic much?

[sage kernel]

its a social circle

[thin escarp]

i have 400+ members in my group

relax

its not that deep

[sage kernel]

i can see the next job interview.. 'so tell me about your mining experiences as 'got your wife pregnant''... this showed up in our background check

[toxic citrus]

He really is latching on to one guy

[thin escarp]

i find it hilarious

[toxic citrus]

It is

[ember star]

@tame elbow

[tame elbow]

wut

[ember star]

These peeps

[sage kernel]

just talking to 'got your wife pregnant'

[thin escarp]

I really dont understand why he coming at me

thats not even me

[sage kernel]

you posted a screenshot with your name 'got your wife pregnant'

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizens/gotyrwifeprgnt

[thin escarp]

dude i'm Crossfires

[toxic citrus]

We were going thru how Cross's contract system works

[sage kernel]

then why did you post a screenshot bragging about all your money as https://robertsspaceindustries.com/citizens/gotyrwifeprgnt

[thin escarp]

i did not?

[sage kernel]

you did.. he can clearly see it in chat log

hah

[thin escarp]

you have reading problems..

ugh

[sage kernel]

no i don't

[tame elbow]

is there a reason why you're harassing Cross... @sage kernel?

[frail cypress]

how is the dudes name relevant to mining?

[toxic citrus]

Someone must've stepped off on the wrong foot

[crisp cloak]

Supah, you good mate? Someone urinated on your frosties?

[sage kernel]

just replying to his now deleted screen shot as 'got your wife pregnant'

[thin escarp]

@tame elbow idk whats going on rn. I legit just help people here and this dude came in toxic

[tame elbow]

replying to it 14 times...?

[sage kernel]

if thats so triggering tell him not to post such things 🙂

[crisp cloak]

The only person who its triggered is yourself hahaha

[thin escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/wtf-is-that-confused-gif-14675917

[sage kernel]

i dont think its an appropriate name and should be moderated

[toxic citrus]

Aint even cross

[thin escarp]

Its not even me LOL

[toxic citrus]

Why are going at him

[tame elbow]

lets move on from his name. He can name himself whatever he wants

[toxic citrus]

^

[thin escarp]

i am legit laughing so hard rn

[sage kernel]

if not then i will use it in addressing your awesome 'got your wife pregnant' mining accomplishements

[thin escarp]

LOLOL

[toxic citrus]

Whats so personal about it to you

[sage kernel]

its not.. i just think its stupid

[tame elbow]

one more comment about it and you're getting timed out

[crisp cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/its-time-to-move-on-ryan-bailey-smite-lets-move-on-go-forward-gif-17661775

[toxic citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-chancellor-dark-side-plan-evil-jedi-gif-7689991

You should meet my good friend Buttmoan. Probably top 5 mole pilot.

[toxic citrus]

Anyway

[mellow chasm]

Wut u want?

[thin escarp]

Anyway if anyone wants to go mining. I'm about to have some seats available.

@mellow chasm Oh i was complimenting you for once. But also whats my ign

[mellow chasm]

Which game?

[ember star]

I come in here to talk about refueling and arguments follow

[thin escarp]

@mellow chasm on sc fam

[earnest lion]

Do the mining gadgets actually make larger rocks mineable with the Prospector?

I have a BoreMax which reduces resistance by 75% but it's not really doing anything.

[toxic citrus]

Yep

They should work

Try waiting for it to update it

[earnest lion]

without a gadget I could mine rocks up to 5.5K mass, this rock is 6.1K but not really going up past half way.

[toxic citrus]

Like i said

It might need time to update

[earnest lion]

What do you mean by this? Do I have to wait a while before the gadget works?

How do I know once the gadget has worked?

[toxic citrus]

Try tapping the rock once with the laser to see if it updated

Sometimes the server comes a little behind for the gadgets

[earnest lion]

Well how do I know if the gadget is working?

[toxic citrus]

Then you are able to break it, no?

Charge level should go up faster

[earnest lion]

I've been sat at 100% for a while now and it's increasing at a snails pace, I thought a whole 75% less resistant would make it shoot up.

[toxic citrus]

Not according to this

At least its going up, no?

Because a lancet solely struggles with a 5.5k mass rock

[earnest lion]

Incredibly slowly.

[toxic citrus]

Without modules

[earnest lion]

My point is that it should be a whole 75% less resistant.

[toxic citrus]

Well you are able to mine it

So clearly it has worked on some level

[undone scaffold]

It’s just gonna take awhile

[toxic citrus]

At least it works, kind of

[ember star]

Has anyone tried refueling with the Starfarer yet?

[frail cypress]

yea, it worked

[thin escarp]

@ember star @runic yew

has

ask victor

he better with dm's 😄

[ember star]

Can you refuel solo? Can you refuel any size ship?

[frail cypress]

i was soloing the starfarer so yes on that. idk about size, refueling ship was a sabre

[earnest lion]

Should I get a Surge and Stampede? I currently have 2 Torrent IIs and 1 Focus II.

[austere void]

I got refueled by a starfarer. It was a solo guy running it. He filled my titan

[crisp cloak]

Could be a right little business being a mobile refuelling station on the outer reaches

[ember star]

Yeah I want to see if I can refuel my own ship and use it for faster and longer QTing

[austere void]

I don't think so

Someone has to run the refueling arm and then you have to fly into the probe and do the fuel from the vehicle requesting it

[ember star]

Ah dang

[frail cypress]

the very least you need someone to accept the docking request

[ember star]

Either way I bought the Starfarer for XT and other events

Just to sit and make money from refueling

[austere void]

😂😂

It's pretty sweet

I mean right now it seems kinda useless. If you need ammo/repairs you're going to go to a station so might as well refuel there.

[ember star]

Yeah which is why I’m excited for ships like the Liberator

[knotty mountain]

Thanks @thin escarp I’ve been using a spreadsheet to calculate my payouts for peeps but I might whip up a custom site as well! Your org site looks dope 🔥

[thin escarp]

lived that spreadsheet life

for so long

https://tenor.com/view/why-is-it-spicy-spicy-tiktok-vine-lubs-gif-21823750

Me reading this chat

[lean skiff]

Got a few clusters of large quant rocks that I can't crack alone if anyone is interested. Happy to split the quant. It's on Lyria. In a prospector, so you would need your own mining ship to help

[earnest lion]

Do mining gadgets stack?

[steep dust]

I think so, up to 3 I believe

[cosmic sparrow]

still want a hand?

[lean skiff]

Got someone, but thank you! 🙂

[cosmic sparrow]

no worries

[minor slate]

Underestimated how heavy the Mole is. First flight into Atmos, I slam into the ground

[meager palm]

What’s the best app to use to find cargo pricing

[weak hound]

Where's the best place to mine for Hadanite using a ROC?

[fervent wyvern]

CAN WE INCREASE THE PRICE OF SMUGGLING SPACE CRACK>?

[fervent wyvern]

[weak hound]

Where at on Aberdeen>

?

[fervent wyvern]

all over aberdeen, I use Sherman

[weak hound]

ok, ty

Wait, you said Sherman?

I don't see Sherman

[fervent wyvern]

oh right not sherman

thats for hurston

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

HDMS Anderson

[weak hound]

Well

That's where I'm at, lol

[fervent wyvern]

yeah just go out

and do it round there

[modern agate]

is illegal cargo worth it?

[tame bloom]

How difficult are the $45000 delivery missions?

[steep dust]

not hard....just bring a gun in case you get shot at

[hollow sedge]

What are yalls favorite cargo haulers? I'm in the market for one. I'm tired of taking 10 trips in the cutlass for my refined quantanium

[atomic lark]

Starlifter seems pretty good

[hollow sedge]

That's what I was thinking about getting.

[woven yarrow]

uhh anyone else's RAFT's elevator not working from the inside?

[naive night]

MSR is nice for quant runs. Holds right around 1 mill. And its fast in case u find yourself in some shit

[fair slate]

Can't seem to load into the game

[ember star]

Did you bed log?

[thin escarp]

@hollow sedge i love my c2

[twilit wren]

Is belt mining dead?

[fair slate]

Figured it out, their creation service for characters was down

[naive night]

Lyria is just more efficient for Quant. Tab scan at 180 Cruz until you find a few squares. Narrow tab scan to 22 degrees, it will bring the amount of rocks into view within 8k I think.

And then within 300 m of mining laser will give the percentages

[twilit wren]

Yep, been doing that. Belts aren't the same process. You try and zoom scan to 22, but it doesn't work the same

[modern agate]

how do you narrow tab scan in the new system?

[gaunt fiber]

press v to enter scanning mode, then press comma (to widen) or period (to narrow), you’ll cycle through 360, 179, and 90 degrees.

[errant galleon]

hey does anyone have a good loadout for the prospector? having trouble finding one

i just bought a stock prospector

help would be amazing 😭

[humble kelp]

Depends on what you’re wanting to mine I guess, right now for quantanium it’s usually a lancet mining head then a surge and stampede modules

[vestal ravine]

Get the Lancet mh 1 Lazer head

[humble kelp]

I have a torrent III in my other slot for a little more power but doesn’t really matter

[errant galleon]

so the lancet mh 1 lazer head

[vestal ravine]

It can Crack the smaller sized Q rocks on the moons by itself.

[errant galleon]

are there any mining heads that can crack bigger sized rocks?

i have the money

[vestal ravine]

No itsxthe best. But then you buy the active or passive modules.

Check up on YT latest mining tips.

Bigger rocks try the mining gadgets.

[errant galleon]

😭

im just getting into mining

soo

sorry about that

[vestal ravine]

It can be very difficult to figure out.

[errant galleon]

so how do i get mining modules?

well

where

[cerulean lichen]

450k from the prospector now!

[hollow sedge]

Idk if it's just me but I'm getting tons of unscannable Quant rocks in the belt. It's odd because it's just Quant that's won't scan. Then I'm stuck settling for a rock that is sub par because it's the only scan able rock in the last 30mins 😂

[weak hound]

DM me?

[maiden brook]

Fueling Nozzles

External Fuel Tanks

[somber spade]

Same volume on all of them?

[warm musk]

Apologies for the late reply, but yes, same issue here.

[bold yew]

So we just lost two mining ships to temperamental rocks / desync. Those things 💣 with pretty much no warning. Anyone else?

[icy umbra]

hey does anyone have a workaround to the outposts not showing your ship?

[toxic citrus]

There isnt one

Mostly outposts with landing pads will be able to detect your ship unfortunately

[toxic citrus]

Don't overcharge?

[bold yew]

We are thinking there was desync that they never got to see the overcharge.

[toxic citrus]

Thats possible

I recommend one of you putting ful charge first then applying the second one

Make sure your friend can see the same charge level as you do

[bold yew]

The thing is people were not complaining about server desync in general. Is just two of our ships just poped with experienced miners with no warning.

[tight latch]

I have a question If I take a hauler to a planet can I use a rover to fill it with raw ore if so how would I transfer it to that hauler from the rover

[toxic citrus]

No

Unfortunately not yet

You will need to wait for cargo refactor

Then you will be able to transfer cargo between transports

[bold yew]

I am more concerned why you would want to?

[toxic citrus]

Thing is i mined one yesterday with 0 issues with the help of a friend

[bold yew]

Just making sure your not having issues unloading a ROC

[tight latch]

So how do rover fit in to the mining system do you have drive it all the way to the nearest planetside refienery

[icy umbra]

yeah its annoying cause all the ones that work sell some ass scrap lmfao

[toxic citrus]

You take in your ship and fly to a mining outpost to sell the gems

You can not refine the ROC minables

[bold yew]

That was the question, I thought you were asking. Just take the ROC to the nearest planetside mining station.

[toxic citrus]

Go to a mining facility

[tight latch]

I thought it worked the same as the mole

[toxic citrus]

Nope

[bold yew]

You can sell it right from inside the ship at the trade office there.

[toxic citrus]

ROC minables cant be refined

[tight latch]

Oh well thanks its to bad

[toxic citrus]

I wouldnt say its bad necessarily

Less risk for less money

[bold yew]

Well the roc stays in the ship, or can move to pad, then go to trade office at the mining station and sell. You can supposedly do this from any station at an admin office as well.

[toxic citrus]

^

[bold yew]

I duno, I am hearing with 3.17 ROC mining is looking up.

[tight latch]

I'm holding out hope for the Orion super mining ship

[stoic hawk]

Scanning for rocks is so rough atm I'm considering switching to a ROC for a bit to see how it feels- found probably 20 gem patches yesterday before I found an alright quant rock on Lyria.

[toxic citrus]

You are gonna have to hold that for a while

[vestal ravine]

Bummer: I went to the Belt no Quant found but I found a triple cluster that was NOT Quant. I mined it anyway.

[tight latch]

I know it's only in concept rn

[toxic citrus]

What was in the rocks though

[bold yew]

It is not as bad as it seems. There are changes but most miners are back up and running now with new scanning info.

[toxic citrus]

I mean

You can go ROC mining for a long time

You can just empty the gems in to ur ship

[bold yew]

Here is a link to new scanning info:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot7Zh3lZyQ0&t=321s

[bold yew]

You could but it is tedious because you have to drag one at a time. That is not the worst part though, the longer you are at it, the more likely you are to attract the server daemons.

[toxic citrus]

Well not really

[tight latch]

Server daemons

[bold yew]

Just fill it up go to a pod and sell before it 30ks or some other CIG factor kicks in 😅

[toxic citrus]

I used a prospecotor to break the rocks at one point lmfao

Stored em all and put them in ship

They actually survived a 30k, though i probably was just lucky

[bold yew]

Is temping with how many gem clusters I see as I am mining quant.

[toxic citrus]

Yeah

If you find tons of hadanite clusters just mine those

You will use your time better that lmao

Finding good quant rocks is time consuming

[bold yew]

My problem is I am finding too many big quant rocks and the server deamons caught up to me.

[warped glen]

so let's say hypothetically I obtained the Hull A for cargo

is there, or is there not a way to make decent money just hauling with it?

because I've heard conflicting things

[toxic citrus]

No

Hull A is at the same state as freelancer

[warped glen]

: |

so if I don't want to do combat

and I don't want to do mining

there's no reason to play?

[toxic citrus]

With a Hull A?

I mean

You can trade

But don't expect much profit

[warped glen]

I mean, I don't see any other ship options

[toxic citrus]

Try doing laranite + titanium on either arccorp or hurston

[warped glen]

there's just nothing else in or below that price range to upgrade the titan to

[warped glen]

how much per run would that be approximately?

'cause right now I'm making 10-20k an hour if I get on a good luck streak

otherwise losing 30-50k per hour

[toxic citrus]

Id say around 30k per run

If

You are lucky

Try to go to 2 different mining facilities to fill up on lara and fill rest with titanium

HDMS-Bezdek and HDMS-Lathan for hurston

Don't exactly remember the ones on arccorp

[warped glen]

and a run start to finish what, 30-45 minutes if done efficiently?

[toxic citrus]

Less

[warped glen]

oh hell

[dry bone]

You can make good money hauling

[warped glen]

I'm buying the hull RIGHT NOW

[dry bone]

But takes a massive investment to make money

[woven yarrow]

aye found a youtube vid from 1. may that shows the same issue

[toxic citrus]

Yep

[dry bone]

You will need a caterpillar or C2

[toxic citrus]

Keep in mind a full load of lara will cost you around 250k

[dry bone]

And an empty lobby or run illegal goofs

[warped glen]

so basically

get ~400k saved up

[dry bone]

Way more. A full c2 costs almost 2 mil

[warped glen]

buy the Hull

and start hauling

[toxic citrus]

I guess?

[warped glen]

thank you

you might've saved the game for me

[dry bone]

You can make decent money doing delivery missions

[toxic citrus]

Eh

I wouldnt bother

[dry bone]

When doing them loot the boxes. And sell the loot for extra cash
Every now and again you'll find the gem stone boxes. I was making about 200k an hour

[toxic citrus]

You can do halt illegal surveilance with a Hull A too lol

[dry bone]

Bunkers been paying almost 900k an hour average

[warped glen]

illegal surveillance kicks the ass of my Titan

got shredded in seconds last one I tried

[woven yarrow]

except they havent because the servers are so overloaded with people abusing them that the gem boxes dont spawn

[toxic citrus]

skill issue

[dry bone]

I haven't had any issues with getting them

[toxic citrus]

Im easily able to do them with a reliant

Which is even weaker than a titan

[woven yarrow]

i think i got 2 gem boxes yesterday from doing 8? bunkers

all of them filled with 100 corpses and bugged enemies

[dry bone]

Pick a different server

I play normally with a Max of 10 people on

[warped glen]

well, I'm using the recommended loadout given to me in flight and combat, a 447 and two 337 laser cannons, I got a caterpillar or something attacking me

[toxic citrus]

Just run off

Dont fight the cat lol

[warped glen]

how am I supposed to get to the arrays?

[tulip roost]

Just scan and blow them up

[warped glen]

also why is it that the topic always shiftst to the opposite of the channel I'm in

[tulip roost]

Enemies in the monitor missions barely even move

[bold yew]

Freaky part is both were solo on different rocks. No surges or anything crazy. Both very experienced. Prob just a fluke.

[toxic citrus]

Huh?

So which one exploded

And how experienced was your friend

Because he couldve overcharged it on accident

Blowing you both up

[bold yew]

Two different ships. I was flying the mole with one active turret. Other was a prospector after the run. I'll keep an eye out, just checking for trends.

We just don't ever loose our mining ships so was really odd.

[delicate girder]

I recommend scanning all three first and then blowing them up so you don't fail the mission for lack of time if you have a hard time finding one or if you meet a little opposition.

[mild token]

Question for Miners.... I wanted to get Lifetime Insurance on Mining Ships... and been looking at "ROUGHNECK PACK Warband" pack that gives me misc expanse/rospector/freelancer max/drake vulutre with Life Time Insurance and VFG Industrial Hangar.

[maiden brook]

No. They have more volume

[mild token]

Would you guys say that be worth it for Solo Miner?

[toxic citrus]

No not really

[maiden brook]

CR-60 Fuel Pod 78600 aUEC

[toxic citrus]

Those all can be acquired in game with a bit of effort

[maiden brook]

GSX-RF Fuel Pod 52500 aUEC

[mild token]

i know that, but i was thinking with those ships no matter what, you can just make money to get anything else in the game you want, without ever worrying something can be lost forever

[toxic citrus]

2/4 of the ships arent even in game fyi

[maiden brook]

GSX-HP Fuel Pod 115200 aUEC

[toxic citrus]

Sure, you can buy it if you want to

Although i personally would just get a freelancer max and a prospector separately

[mild token]

true but they only come with 6 months insurance..

[toxic citrus]

And?

Insurance will be a low effort cost

And isnt even implemented

[maiden brook]

RN-7S Fuel Nozzle (Listed under docking collar) 16650 aUEC

[toxic citrus]

For now LTI doesn't have a use

[maiden brook]

Norfield Fuel Nozzle (Listed under docking collar) 11250 aUEC

[toxic citrus]

Make your own conclusion though, i'm just giving advice.

[maiden brook]

Harkin Fuel Nozzle (Listed under docking collar) 20500 aUEC

[mild token]

@toxic citrus thank you for advice 😉

[maiden brook]

Hope that helps anyone who wants to do fuel running.

[toxic citrus]

And if LTI is an important thing for you, you can always buy a cheap LTI hoverquad and CCU them to a freelancer max and prospector.

Whenever those are available that is

[tulip roost]

Is there any reason at all to do fuel running anyway? With 50 people per server, chances that someone will bother asking for fuel are ridiculously low. Who even runs out of fuel?

[toxic citrus]

Gotta wait for pyro

[cedar flower]

nice to see you will be able to Mix different container sizes onto the Hull A with cargo refactor

[toxic citrus]

Thats when ever we get it

Same deal gonna be with RAFT

[tulip roost]

I can see both RAFT and HULL A shine a bit more with having shorter loading times, just wondering if prices of goods are going to get upped to account for it

[deep vector]

By default it’ll pick biggest available size

I love it

[deep vector]

I have a feeling that same 18 scu containers I may put inside fatlancer/caterpillar with ease

[cedar flower]

RAFT only does 32SCU, it can't use any other box type

[cedar flower]

16

[toxic citrus]

Cargo container anyway

[cedar flower]

I rather take the Hull, because it is more versatile

[toxic citrus]

True

Hull C is still planned for .18

I highly doubt though

Since it has disappeared from the release view

[north oyster]

I don’t see the Hull C arriving until after cargo refactoring

She’s ready to fly now

[toxic citrus]

Yeah, its not on release view anymore

.19 maybe

Who knows

[tulip roost]

Yeah, tbh it seems like it'll introduce more busywork for no return

[north oyster]

Thinking around IAE

[tulip roost]

Especially if manual loading is wonky and crates don't snap to grid

[toxic citrus]

Oh lord

[north oyster]

Tru dat

[toxic citrus]

I can already imagine it

[north oyster]

They say everything will get sent to your hanger

[toxic citrus]

Though wont this allow prople to jam the cutty full for example

[north oyster]

That won’t make sense for the Hull C

[toxic citrus]

From side to side ye

[north oyster]

I originally got the 400i as an LTI token for the Hull C, but I’m starting to like that ship. I might have to burn another token for C

[minor slate]

Solo Mole is fantastic. Just brought home a 60 SCU of quant. However it was a race to refine it. Had less than a minute left before it went boom

[north oyster]

I don’t want that stress, LOL

[minor slate]

It was so scary. The blinking yellow light in the pilot seat didn't help either lmao

[north oyster]

I’m normally back at the station with ship stowed before the first beep

[minor slate]

Happy I got it home. It's about 480k profit. Would be more but I lost a few mining gadgets

[toxic citrus]

Thats why i like the prospector tho

Its one good rock and ur good to go

Youll have a lot of time too

[north oyster]

I’m ok with 275k per trip

[toxic citrus]

Yeah, same

[north oyster]

But there are a number of adrenaline junkies who make good coin in the Mole

[minor slate]

All in all a great mining day for me. Made roughly 2.2m today. I even watched Venom while I mined

[north oyster]

LOL

Good pace

[tulip roost]

Damn, quantum that good?

I gotta invest I guess

[minor slate]

It's amazing

[toxic citrus]

Yeah

Even a prospector can net you a lot

[north oyster]

I’ve made hundreds of millions doing it

[toxic citrus]

I had 2 mil worth of quant until 3.17 dropped

[minor slate]

I'm normally a hardcore bounty hunter and never tried mining until 3.17 kinda made bounty hunting hard as hell. And I'm loving it.

[deep vector]

True

[north oyster]

The patch slaughter

[toxic citrus]

Yeah.

[deep vector]

Raft made to haul volatile cargo, not regular

[north oyster]

Small cargo has no home at this time

[toxic citrus]

Tbf ive been coping and finding good rocks on lyria

Found a 45% yesterday and a 35% today morning

[north oyster]

Great to hear

[toxic citrus]

Defo going back there

[minor slate]

I found a 49% 7k rock mass. Couldn't break it because I ran out of Surges If only we could set markers on planets

[north oyster]

Halo wasn’t nice to me Saturday but hope to get out there soon again

[deep vector]

That’s why you carry gadgets

[toxic citrus]

I know the feeling mate

I had to call in someone yesterday to help me

[north oyster]

Or like we use to be able to, do field changes

[toxic citrus]

The 45% was a 5.6k mass

My lancet struggled

[frail cypress]

take a delivery mission, pick up the box, then leave it at the rock. bam, instant custom markers 🙂

[minor slate]

Oooo, good Idea ^

[toxic citrus]

Could work

Unless the rock just despawns

[deep vector]

Oh

[toxic citrus]

Total was around 46 scu worth of quant

[frail cypress]

it does work, not exactly user ffriendly tho, having to carry a box around you. not to mention quest disappears whenyou relog

[toxic citrus]

Fair

[deep vector]

That’s why you have modules on laser itself. +4% each would save you

That’s why also I run mole

[north oyster]

I’m just speculating but I can see CIG dethroning the Lancet in the next few patches

[toxic citrus]

I know i know

I really need to get some

[deep vector]

Why? It has enough drawbacks

[north oyster]

If you read the specs, it’s not supposed to be able to do what it’s doing

[deep vector]

Even now, with gadgets probably you may get away from it

[deep vector]

Like what?

[north oyster]

It’s a support laser

[deep vector]

Tbh you usually use it as support))

Three lancets give you greenzone like you mine aluminum

Lol

[toxic citrus]

What are helix's buffs and debuffs anyway

I mean its an expensive one for sure

[deep vector]

Instability kills all

[toxic citrus]

Buffs?

[deep vector]

Tried different ones

Power is main buff

Iirc 2200 vs 1400 lancet

[toxic citrus]

Hmh

[deep vector]

But instability is ewww

[toxic citrus]

CIG might nerf the instability factor since its pretty damn expensive

[north oyster]

Helix use to be meta but got the hell nerfed out of it

[toxic citrus]

Damn

How was it pre nerf?

[north oyster]

Added a 40% delay in controls, etc

It was awesome

[toxic citrus]

how awesome

Do yous remember

[north oyster]

Crack anything, anywhere

[toxic citrus]

Very little debuffs, eh?

[north oyster]

It was worth the 108K aUEC asking price

[toxic citrus]

[north oyster]

Now a 20k laser rules the roost

[toxic citrus]

Yeah lol

For now

Who knows

Maybe theyll partly revive helix

[deep vector]

Everything will be different for sure

Also I’m pretty sure they will nerf lancet

To make everything have more or less same stats with different bonuses

[toxic citrus]

I mean its very possible old helix will return if we ever need to repair our mining lasers

Itll degrade faster than others

[deep vector]

We’ll see

[cerulean quartz]

Any good Trade routes for the the new monthly ship?

[north oyster]

Not much profit but plenty of routes

Medical supplies is an option, but slow buy back

Laranite is good in small quantities

Because Laranite is only found in small quantities

[deep vector]

I still remember it being 300+ easy

[north oyster]

Yeah, but CIG “fixed “ that

[cedar flower]

That's not true

RAFT was made to load normal 32 containers faster than any other ship

[twilit wren]

Why RAFT when you can FreelancerMAX?

[deep vector]

Couple of reasons

[halcyon brook]

Such as? I can't find a reason to use the raft over the max

[sour cairn]

soon to be the cargo refactor where u manually unload cargo containers

[halcyon brook]

So the loading system is what you're saying there? So it will be down to convenience of being able to load/upload without opening a door? That's an irony and a half since you can't even escape the raft after you've boarded it, not very convenient ha

[exotic vortex]

Is it worth it to rent a prospector? I currently have 100k UEC and want to boost that

[cedar flower]

That was the first draft of it's concept

It literally says that in the screenshot

[deep vector]

Amount of fuel, hp, type of load

[sour cairn]

thats sc for you unless ur a light fighter ur stuck

[deep vector]

It’s still was marketed as volatile hauler. Even the containers have additional things onto em.

[manic estuary]

welp after changing up my scanning strategy... now have 2m of quant orders in the refinery

[autumn cedar]

Q about the success rate of having Q-type rocks spawn in Aaron? Today i'm on my 2nd run through it, been here for a good 30mins, only N,E,M,P types, not a single Q. Yesterday on my first visit after the patch, i've only found 3 rocks none had Q content higher than 6%

[manic estuary]

I tried the halo... was hit or miss, sometimes I'd drop out of QT and instantly find a minable q-type... then other times it could take up to an hour to find one.. so I've moved back to Lyria and having a lot of success there

[autumn cedar]

How did you change your scan strategy? And I presume that was on Lyria?

[manic estuary]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot7Zh3lZyQ0

[autumn cedar]

thanks for the link

[snow kelp]

average hourly income when solo mining with rented prospector?

[lilac patio]

Around 30-40k

In my experience

[snow kelp]

damn yikes

[knotty mountain]

mining what?

[snow kelp]

anything

whatever turns the highest profit

[knotty mountain]

I'd mine quant. With a rented prosp that might be difficult though. Bring some mining gadgets lol

[cedar flower]

What additional things?

These are box Standart 32 SCU crates, nothing special about them

[fair slate]

After nerf? Not a lot. Use bogez link to mine as that is the only method atm after the stealth nerf

[snow kelp]

bogez link?

oh I see

thanks 🙂

[fair slate]

Scroll.

Rgr

[silk ridge]

MUCH better cockpit and overall looks. ... Other than that ... no idea ... except maybe loading times after cargo refactor

[hasty knot]

whats the best mining set up in the prospector ?

[karmic socket]

Depends on your level of skill/experience. Otherwise for a start a Lancet mining head, 2 x Brandt and 1 x Lifeline is good

[hasty knot]

ill give that a go , used to jus buy a helix and go to town lol

[torn shell]

I just tried roc mining for the first and i got 100k in 10 min

[thin escarp]

@exotic vortex dont rent a prospector my guy

unless your just tryin to learn.

i highly suggest waitin til you can buy it

@hasty knot i have a guide pinned in this channel with loadouts for prospectors.

I have a lancet, torrents 3s and a focus 3 on mine

[hasty knot]

thank you

[silk ridge]

i use 2 Vaux-C3 and a Rieger-C3 ... or one surge and 2 brandts

entirely depending on my patience this day xD

[exotic vortex]

Thanks lol
I've only got about 100K UEC

[hasty knot]

ive been mining forever but never bothered with modules lol

[thin escarp]

@exotic vortex i'll be mining ina bit if ya wanna tag along

aslong as your 18+

[exotic vortex]

I'd love to, but my power is going out soon :/

[thin escarp]

what

you know when ur power goes out?

[silk ridge]

Renting a Prospector can be a good choice if you use the new Gadgets.

[thin escarp]

eh i still cant recommend a new player renting a prospector and useing those gadgets.

maybe a seasoned miner 😄

[silk ridge]

I smell some unintentional gatekeeping

🤣

[thin escarp]

Its an opinion I think i've earned the right to have one here with my guides being used by quite a few.

[silk ridge]

I'd save up 200K-300K and then fiddle around with rented prospectors. So even if things go south, the losses don't hurt.

Because Mining can and will kill you. Especially in the beginning.

[thin escarp]

@exotic vortex what ship did you pledge for?

[exotic vortex]

A Titan 😄

[thin escarp]

you could roc mine. renting the roc is a solid choice. it can net like 200k when full

[silk ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/-gif-4496017

[exotic vortex]

Can it fit in a Titan?

[thin escarp]

you don't have to refine that either. so you can just sell straight to the trader.

No you'd need to rent the cutlas

which is cheap

you could rent both roc and cutlas. and make the money on your first run to even buy the roc.

[exotic vortex]

Huh. I might do that then.

[silk ridge]

with a bit of grind youn could afford a Prospector within 3-4 days of roc mining 😆

[exotic vortex]

I don't mind that lol

[silk ridge]

Mining in general is pretty chill and roc mining isn't an exception. Sometimes I'm tempted to try it ... but then my Prospector cries from loneliness and I hop in and fly it to the Halo

[gaunt fiber]

Anyone around to help me break a rock? mass: 6938, QT: 48.6%

[toxic citrus]

Yeah, let me finish my current run

Shouldn't take too long

[gaunt fiber]

cool, I'll sit tight

[toxic citrus]

whats your ign?

[gaunt fiber]

same - yentra

[toxic citrus]

alr

ur on lyria ya?

[gaunt fiber]

yup

[toxic citrus]

alr lemme bed log outside atmo

[gentle roost]

so, if I have 1 mil auec and 400 SCU, how do you know what to buy and where to sell it? Previously I tried experimenting with an MSR with a much smaller quantity based on what a website was saying for where to buy and sell. EVRYWHERE I went, it wasn't buying any more of the material and I didn't even make 50% of what I spent

[plucky pollen]

do i have to find a cave if i want to mine by hand?

[tulip roost]

Yeah, a good idea is picking a cave BH mission

[toxic citrus]

try looking for good prices on SC trade tools

[plucky pollen]

when i get the ore where do i sell it? at a trade station?

or would it be easier for me to rent a mining ship

or car

[gentle roost]

what do I do when I get a good price, but when I show up to sell they won't buy any more?

[toxic citrus]

Where are you trying to sell and what?

[gentle roost]

it was a couple of patches ago and it might gave been medical supplies?

but that was what I ran into. I forget which trading website I went to but it told me which option was highest profit to buy and sell to based on my ship

when I arrived, they wouldnt buy

[tulip roost]

You can sell hadanite at admin offices on space stations or in cities

But if you are looking for easy starter money, handmining is probably not the best idea

[plucky pollen]

what is better?

[tulip roost]

Survellance missions from mercenary tab

20k a pop, all you gotta do is get there, find and off 3 monitoring sats within 5 minutes. They don't shoot back. Enemies can mostly be ignored.

These missions spawn constantly around microTech

[plucky pollen]

how do i scan?

[tulip roost]

Tab

[plucky pollen]

so do i just fly to they locations and then what do i do?

[tulip roost]

Fly to mission loc, you will see a station, ignore it and guns around it, hit tab untill you find a signal with distance value, fly there

When around 4km out you will see if it's a monitoring sat, if it is, kill it. Repeat 2 more times

[plucky pollen]

will i get crime stat or shot at?

[tulip roost]

If it's a red NPC ship, you can try fighting or just avoid them

[thorn spindle]

you'll get shot at but no crimestat

[tulip roost]

Crime stat no, as long as you only kill red stuff. Shot at possibly, but NPCs are quite passive on those

They also get identified from further away, so as long as you don't get close and get quick on scanning, you won't trigger any of them

After you get some dosh, you can buy a ROC, rent a Cutlass and do vehicle mining, which is also good money and much safer

[plucky pollen]

xD

i blew up

can the explosion of me killing a com array blow me up?

[toxic citrus]

You mean a monitor?

[plucky pollen]

ye

it blew up then i blew up

[stoic schooner]

best mining gadgets for the prospector?

[tulip roost]

If you were damaged and close enough, maybe. But it is possible you accidentally hit debris too. Fire from at least 500m away

[sacred turret]

So when mining with the roc u can use the mouse to aim the mining right??? But how do u do tht when ur stuck in like a free look mode while u are in mining mode?

[thin escarp]

@gentle roost cargo kinda sus ngl

the only cargo that goes in my ship is refined quant

😄

@stoic schooner i have a guide pinned in this channel for mining gadgets

[thorn spindle]

tap z or f @sacred turret

that might help reset the camera

[gentle roost]

lol maybe I should just ho myself out to miners then to transport all their stuff for a cut of the profits lol. I tried the mining life and it's just not for me

[plucky pollen]

if i rent a fighter does it come with guns?

[thin escarp]

@gentle roost sadly you cannot transport others stuff

maybe some day 😄

[sacred turret]

Ok.... also I did have the A and D tht would control it but only left and right... and yes tht is with mining mode active... but I will have to try wht u suggested later on today

[thorn spindle]

let me know if it works

[torpid zephyr]

Hello there.
Can you choose which ore you want to sell specifically? Because if I go to the ore raw terminal, It always takes all of them

for example... want Laranite and Taranite been refined and everything else been sold to the raw terminal

[thorn spindle]

unfortunately no as far as i know

[torpid zephyr]

Let's say i have Bexalite, Taranite and Agricium on me. Choose to Bexalite been refined only. What happens after the refining ends?
Do I only get back the bexalite refined? what happens to the other ores?

[thin escarp]

refine it all

the rest gets thrown out

[thorn spindle]

you can refine all of them

[torpid zephyr]

ahh ok

[real axle]

Is Reclamation & Disposal also broken for you guys?

[toxic citrus]

Yeah, its been for a while

[knotty mountain]

looking for a second miner in my mole 🙂 anyone down?

[frail cypress]

how do i break a 7k rock with a prospector?

[royal merlin]

Did mining mineral spawn rates get nutted in the last patch? I swear I spent 4 hours on Aberdeen last night and only got 16SCU of the green resources.

[royal merlin]

Rented prospector can't break it, but if you own one I believe you can upgrade some of the components

[frail cypress]

i was hoping for a little more specific instructions than that 🙂

[thorn spindle]

if you have a surge module use it to boost your heat power

two surgers should get you in the green zone

then use the stampeded to fill up green zone quick

[frail cypress]

thanks, i'll try that

[thorn spindle]

yea some eye balling is gonna be needed but after you use the surge module once you can kinda gestimate it

[toxic citrus]

Is it the stock mining head?

[thorn spindle]

anyone mind giving me some tips on finding quant on lyria ?

[toxic citrus]

The pit or Buckets

[thorn spindle]

[frail cypress]

[toxic citrus]

Good good

U should be fine with surged then

[thorn spindle]

[toxic citrus]

Ofc if resistance is too high

Ur kinda fucked then lol

[frail cypress]

[toxic citrus]

[compact basin]

Boremax has done good for me, I usually carry 2 gadgets incase of really rough rocks

[polar flame]

[compact basin]
