[wide jolt]

think they will add a new courier ship with 3.18? seems like the msr is currently a must have for courier progression

[compact basin]

That's odd.. Modules do not show when you don't have the mining head. Why that is not there though I do not know

[thorn spindle]

first time for me

im trying claiming

impounding did not work

[burnt pelican]

i love not being able to scan some rocks

[compact basin]

Yeah it's pain

[thorn spindle]

claiming did not work either

becareful with prospectors i guess

[compact basin]

Rough, then I don't know :/

[thorn spindle]

where should i report it ?

help tab ?

[compact basin]

Not certain..

[lime musk]

How come the connie taurus has almost double the SCU of the andromeda but it only has a tiny bit of room extra to store stuff? Visually it makes no sense

[compact basin]

I mean a char reset should fix it, but don't know how that effect stuff like refinery

[thorn spindle]

thats a sealed cargo room @lime musk

so it cant be scanned

[compact basin]

No idea but true hahaha

Ahh

[thorn spindle]

its a ingame bought prospector

[lime musk]

Im aware but its tiny. Not another 90+ SCU worth of space haha

[thorn spindle]

think thats gonna effect anything ?

[thorn spindle]

it be like that mang

[woven yarrow]

ok holy crap the RAFT's elevator breaks like every time

the ship is unusable

[verbal cargo]

RAFT needs a ladder to the airlock lol

[autumn cedar]

yeah was annoyed by that yesterday, kept exiting through airlock 🙂

[woven yarrow]

yeah not an option when u wanna pick up freight from a moon base and stuff :/

[autumn cedar]

yikes

actually, multi tool+tractor move some items under the airlock and make impro stairs 🙂

[woven yarrow]

imagine paying 150eur for this

thing was reviewed like 5 months ago

alright actually the external elevator button does seem to work with some luck, so im gonna risk buying a full freight of cargo and pray i can get back in

[north oyster]

Small carriers like RAFT, Hull A, etc have no home in the ‘verse for now

[woven yarrow]

videos seemed sad, but im trying to see if the trade site is accurate

stuff like this

[north oyster]

Laranite is only found in very small quantities

The generating rate, demand across all servers, means it’ll never be ideal

[dreamy bridge]

Casual, skilled / pro miner looking for a mining organization to join

any takers? 😄

[north oyster]

Titanium, gold, astatine, etc are available

[north oyster]

Chat with @thin escarp

[thin escarp]

[wide jolt]

hard to think if med freight will even be worth it

[woven yarrow]

ok yeah it only had 1/3 the laranite for sale lol

so sad

[north oyster]

Medical supplies buy back very small and slow

Nine Tails Lockdown is the only exception

[woven yarrow]

anybody know where i have to land at the orphanage for it to get my ships cargo?

theres no landing pad here

right next to it as u can see, went inside, but the terminal doesnt detect my ship at all

even tried landing pretty much on top of it

[idle blade]

Anyone have a well developed spreadsheet for multicrew mining profit share/tracking?

[fallow gull]

What would you guys reccomend for a good starter hauler ship (in terms of cargo space and price) ?

[toxic citrus]

Freelancer max.

120 scu

2.1mil

[fallow gull]

Thank youu

[woven yarrow]

nvm i went to sell on lorville and autopilot took over, i exploded immediately and lost my 100k investment

epic game

[idle blade]

Hauling is useless until they implement quanta fully. Or until they give uses to all of these commodities

[wide jolt]

lost 80k the other day from asking for landing while going scm towards the landing zone, live and learn

good thing i have runner rep and can do 2 missions to get that back

[minor slate]

Is there a way to swap out a used module for a fresh one?

When I try it in the vehicle manager it just puts the old one on with low charges

[quasi oriole]

hi guys

can you tell me a good cargo route?

ty

[tardy flower]

What ship do you have with the best cargo ?

[quasi oriole]

c2 hercules

[tardy flower]

Go on Wala, buy all the Laranite and Diamond you can, sell it a Arcorp.

[quasi oriole]

where wala is?

[toxic citrus]

ArcCorp.

[tardy flower]

A mood around Arcorp indeed.

[quasi oriole]

ty

[serene pawn]

Guys if im in ARC L1 and i store my quantum to my ship, and then take out a different ship to fly to area 18 and sell quantum is that possible? does ARC L1 count to the local inventory for the area 18?

[toxic citrus]

What

ARC-L1 is a completely separate station

Pluuus cargo was NEVER shared between stations

[serene pawn]

oke was just making sure

[toxic citrus]

Only player items

[serene pawn]

oh really I've read people take a different ship when doing quant runs to trade station

so minimize risk

to*

from local ports

[toxic citrus]

And if you did this the quant would be destroyed in the claim

[karmic socket]

Used to....

[toxic citrus]

Just saying

[serene pawn]

ahh

oke got it ty

makes sense

[serene pawn]

btw Lyria was good indeed for finding quant ty for the suggestion

[toxic citrus]

Mmh

[north oyster]

The Low Orbit stations around the planets NOW do not share inventory with the city before (and vice versa).

[north oyster]

After the quantainium is refined, you can't use the Prospector to transport it to the market to sell. You have to use a ship that does cargo. The smallest ship you can use is the Cutlass Black. The cutty will carry one Prospector load per trip.

[vernal halo]

anyyone else keep getting sucked into the refinery elevators and dying?

[north oyster]

3.17 is a death trap (sadly).

[karmic socket]

He was talking about before it's refined. When it's still volatile...

[vernal halo]

just going to set my medical at each station before i visit refinery from now on -.-

i think i've died liek 30 times by that damn elevator can'tfigure it out lol

[mild token]

what would be a good Loadout now with 3.17 being out for Prospector?

[north oyster]

The elevator issue use to also be related to how fast your system was responding to the game and loading. A combo of access to the media and also the network. Not to insult, but I am assuming you are running an SSD drive, correct? And at least 16gb of RAM?

[north oyster]

The previous builds still hold. The pinned article at top has some good options to consider.

[north oyster]

I do wish we could cut out the refinery part of the game loop like the old days, LOL

[vernal halo]

5900x , 32gb 3200mhz ram, rtx 3080, 1gb fiber internet

SSD nvme

nothing lags in the game though, it is smooth even on 4k

[north oyster]

Have you checked the Issue Council and maybe contributed to tickets that may have the same problem? Also try changing region. I had an issue where I was spawning outside the station when I was on the US servers, I had to switch to EU

[mild token]

@north oyster sorry trying to find the article were is it located?

[vernal halo]

seems to happen on both us and eu, I"ll take a look

it literally tries to teleport me into the elevator through the flooor even though I walk away from it

if I don't jump, I go right through the floor its like a blackhole

[north oyster]

look at the Pin at the top of this forum, there are a couple of articles

[north oyster]

which station?

[vernal halo]

happened at hur l1 and arc l1

[mild token]

ohh i found it thx

[vernal halo]

just at the refinery level

[north oyster]

I've not even been down to the refinery yet this build. The server I was on Saturday hated me so I didn't find anything in the Halo over 2%. Found plenty but no good rolls of the dice

[north oyster]

I'm at CRU-L1, I'll run down there and see if I find the same result. I can probably run to the other two places also and test

[tight latch]

Does star citizen stop work at the time of an update

[somber spade]

Miners pack? Thoughts

[tight latch]

So does star citizen stop working at the time of a update

[north oyster]

@vernal halo CRU-L1 was clear, did have a lag when elevator arrived but no hole. Used both elevators

[burnt pelican]

best place on lyria for quant?

[royal merlin]

Whats the difference between all the component tiers? Civilian, Industrial, Competition, Military and Stealth?

[steep dust]

So, what's the secret to getting the RAFT's elevator to work?

[sacred loom]

You can look on Erkul website to compare. Speed, fuel efficiency etc

[royal merlin]

At least on the mobile website, it doesn't include all the variables. Why not use all Military all the time? Looks like they all provide the best performance

[bold yew]

So a warning to my mining peers. Overcharge is not like it was before, it goes critical almost immediately.

[tulip roost]

You are not wrong, other stuff is situational, military is almost always best-in-slot

[bold yew]

It will go into the red, but even if you let off, it will keep charging and blow. Seen it enough times to know that it is something different.

[tulip roost]

That's mainly because they implemented the module qualities, but didn't fully implement all the stats, like them wearing out.

[bold yew]

Really have to throttle it down when you get close to the green to prevent a hiccup.

Although industrial is cheaper and works decently on non combat ships btw

Industrial has good hp and all that but cant take the disrupter damage, does not have the fast reboot times, but that does not matter on my MOLE or Cat

[tulip roost]

Yeah, some of it can be worth it for traders and miners

[bold yew]

agree, if you think it is likely you will be attacked the disruptor hp is very nice and so is reset time especially on shields and qt

[sacred loom]

and example on the S1 Qt drive is the Voyage is quicker than the Atlas

Pallisade shields can take more ballistic damage. There is a few things

Depends what your into

[royal merlin]

Yeah exactly, but I assume there are popular distinctions between each flavors of components. I was wondering what they were

[sacred loom]

Got ya, not 100% sure. I just use what I think is best. I run pallisades and Voyage on all my Light fighters. Others may do different

[rose skiff]

wheres the best planet to go mining, and where on it

for quantanium

[steep dust]

What cargo is the best to run? It seems like Laranite and Argricium are always sold out or have very little quantity

[bold yew]

Lyria, anywhere

[rose skiff]

thanks

[mystic coyote]

I feel like Lyria does not have much after the patch, same with the Halo, currently trying Wala

[sacred loom]

There’s still plenty quant around

[sacred loom]

Titanium, gold and med supplies are good to fill up on after small amounts of Laranite/Agricium

[lean oyster]

Does anybody have any resources on the scanning changes?

[serene quest]

Anyone know where I can sell those random crates found at wreckages?

I'm at the admin building but they aren't accepting the cargo

[serene quest]

There was a nice video posted the other day. Lemme see if I can find it

[drifting flower]

If anyone here runs mining fleets regularly. How do you go about paying people? Do you do a wage per amount of time or spilt it on the value of the cargo?

[lean oyster]

if u find it lmk, that would be great!

[serene quest]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot7Zh3lZyQ0&t=400s&ab_channel=SnipingJet

there ya go

[ocean bluff]

where is the best place to sell hadanite

[north oyster]

You can sell them at the terminals at the outpost on the planet you are on or you can sell them at the Admin office of the space station

[dull isle]

anyone cargo?

[north oyster]

ROC Mining ROCKS!! What a blast, and the ping works fantastic. I have picked up deposits as far as 2500 meters

I discovered one important trick, the gem deposits don't vanish as you approach them as the large deposits do

[ocean bluff]

thanks fo the help

[north oyster]

I sold about 180K aUEC in hadanite gems tonight. it was a lot of fun. Not as fast money as Prospector mining but all the more fun though

[ocean bluff]

thats what i plan on doing

where did u go mining

[north oyster]

Aberdeen, I QT to the OM-1 orbital marker and then dive down to the surface. They have fixed the Altimeter also

It is always daylight under the OM-1 marker

[ocean bluff]

good to know

[north oyster]

What do you mean by this Exo? Looking for routes, ideas, ships?

[dull isle]

i got some good one to make a tons of cash

[north oyster]

oh?

[dull isle]

need a buddy to fill up cargo with me , i have 174 scu and the place im loading have a shit load more so any interested ?

[north oyster]

Gold at Lovecraft? She seems to be an endless supply there

Humbolt is good too

Also, can't make a ton of cash with 174 SCU ... unfortunately trade only favors the large carriers

For now

Titanium has been popular and Astertine on Ida is good also

[dull isle]

i know the places to get big money , im looking for a friend to load all that big stock

[north oyster]

There won't be an laranite unless the server is broken

[dull isle]

i buy for 70k and sold for 148k

[wide jolt]

nice

[north oyster]

So there is a stock that offers over 50% in game, aye?

Now, I have bought for 230K and sold for 998K aUEC before

[dull isle]

somehow ya at certain timing

for specific ressource because i couldnt believe i made so much cashj

[wide jolt]

hopefully we get contracts soon for freight

[north oyster]

I could see that if Quanta was working but it is only dong R&R at this time

Agreed Monk, when I get my Hull C that is what we will need

[lean oyster]

having a little harder time than he made it seem

[north oyster]

With the Prospector Matt?

[dull isle]

are you guys using sc-trade-tools?

[lean oyster]

ya atm using prospector trying to learn the new scanning

[dull isle]

website for cargo

[north oyster]

I use SC when I want to verify refresh rates of inventory being generated

[north oyster]

it's not terrible, but it's not great. The main thing is that there is a "blank" spot from about 2200 meters until you get within about 800 meters

Are you mining on Lyria or Halo?

[lean oyster]

atm lyria. My main spot is usually halo tho

[north oyster]

yeah, me too, but the server didn't like me the other day. I couldn't find an Quan over 2%. No luck rolls of the dice for me

Lyria has been hopping

[lean oyster]

i had a pretty good system for halo mining before, but doesnt look like itll work now

just fly decoupled and scan

[north oyster]

you should be able to adapt it

that's what I do

[lean oyster]

it doesnt seem like i can scan mass from a distance anymore

[north oyster]

I had no issues doing that

[ocean bluff]

anyone know where i can spaw a roc on daymar?

[north oyster]

find an outpost with a Platium Bay building and pads

Any outpost with a landing pad will have one

[ocean bluff]

ok thanks

[north oyster]

you'll see one of the buildings with two small pads next to it

Aberdeen is best for hadanite but Daymar will work

[ocean bluff]

ok

[north oyster]

The thing is that on Daymar you can get by without extra heat protection

On Aberdeen you will need the Pembroke armor set

ALSO be sure to have plenty of water and food. The decay rate is awful for us now

[ocean bluff]

ok thanks for the info

[north oyster]

also, remember the OM-1 trick

works on any planet

or moon

[ocean bluff]

got i t

[naive finch]

are you able to trade with someone else's ship?

[runic yew]

rain check? I would love to run some cargo with someone sometime, but just can't right now.

[runic yew]

sadly, not yet - not with commodities anyways

The closest we have to that right now is refueling, or just carrying in crates of guns/ammo

[naive finch]

ok

[hollow sedge]

So I just bought a C2 because I'm tired of making multiple trips to sell refined quantanium in my cutty... In theory.... The C2 holds 692 SCU of cargo or 692,000 cSCU. If I was to fill it full of refined quantanium the pay out would be $60,896,000 give or take. Which is a wild thought 😂

[rotund marten]

Hull C or Cat

[undone scaffold]

Does the prospector have a gimbal on its mining head?

Nvm figured it out

[indigo wolf]

I think it’s more like 696x8,800=6,124,800

The C2 has 696 SCU and 1 SCU of refined quant is 8,800aUEC Idk tho I could be wrong

[mossy shuttle]

You're right. Killem was off by a factor of 10. 1 SCU is 100cSCU, not 1000 (that would work if it were mSCU)

[hot fox]

Q: How do I keep my C2 from de-spawning while loading it up with vehicles from an outpost?

[lean oyster]

Is using a C2 to carry a ROC around for ROC mining overkill? Lol

[toxic citrus]

It shouldn't?

[teal wing]

Not if you also take a Ballista for air defence

[errant galleon]

can anyone give me a basic rundown on prospector quant mining?

i got everything like modules and a mining head

[toxic citrus]

point laser, increase charge, keep charge in green box until it fills up, do it a few more times and extract the goodies

[vivid ingot]

mining r weird now .. not justscanning but all mined turning to inert in ship storage and when goin set work order still show inert in ship storage but then will show all mined ores right where you do last settings for work order

[toxic citrus]

Yes, its a bug. The refinery will recognize the inert as the real materials though

So it's just a visual bug

[errant galleon]

don’t i have a time limit?

[toxic citrus]

No

You can take as long as you like

[errant galleon]

with quant rocks?

[toxic citrus]

Yep

BUT

When you extract the ore

you get a 15 minute timer

[errant galleon]

yeah that’s what i was talking about

how do you fill up your storage before the time

[toxic citrus]

By extracting the ore?

15 mins is plenty

[errant galleon]

ig

so is there a timer on the ship?

[toxic citrus]

Yep

That's when you extract the ore

[errant galleon]

that lets you know when it’s gonna go boom

oh ok

[toxic citrus]

before that you have all the time you need

[errant galleon]

okay

so i basically mine

go to a station

refine

[toxic citrus]

Break all the rocks and afterwards take everything

[errant galleon]

go back

okay

so no matter what i’m probably not gonna get a full storage

how much does that make you anyways?

usually when you do one run

of 15 mins

[toxic citrus]

32scu is roughly 275k

if refined

[errant galleon]

so 275k per 15 mins?

[toxic citrus]

No

[errant galleon]

oh

sorry im new to mining

[toxic citrus]

For a full hold of 32scu quant

Its worth about 275k refined.

[errant galleon]

oh okay

i’m guessing that takes a while

[toxic citrus]

Refining process?

[errant galleon]

no

[toxic citrus]

Refining process speed depends

[errant galleon]

mining it

[toxic citrus]

Ah

Finding a good rock is the lengthy part

After that its smooth sailing

[errant galleon]

yeah

well thanks skeegg:)

[supple cedar]

where would you find the best quant rocks

[toxic citrus]

Lyria

100%

[supple cedar]

aight

ty

[toxic citrus]

Try going to "The pit"

Or "Buckets"

[supple cedar]

dont really know where that is haha

[toxic citrus]

Lyria is on ArcCorp

[supple cedar]

but uh so im thinking about grinding up to 2 mil aUEC so i can buy the prospector, currently i can rent the roc and transport it with the cutty black, where would be the best place to mine with the roc in that case?

[toxic citrus]

Lyria/daymar

[supple cedar]

ok so basically, I fly with cutlass black near the surface of the planet while pinging right?

[toxic citrus]

Yep

Scan any deposits you can find

Try your best to only take hadanite though

[supple cedar]

how do i do that?

[toxic citrus]

Tab

[supple cedar]

ohhh

[toxic citrus]

Then just fly up to them and press V

That will give you info on what gem it is

[supple cedar]

okay i see

how much aUEC can i get from a full load of hadanite

[toxic citrus]

No idea

Find out

[supple cedar]

okay, last question can i theoretically store the mined rocks inside the cutlass so that the mining runs last longer?

[toxic citrus]

Yes

You can take the gems out of the ROC

BUT

Considering how unstable servers can be

You should sell them each full run

[supple cedar]

oh okay thanks

[tulip roost]

200k for a full ROC

[compact basin]

Ah, how much SCU is that?

[toxic citrus]

SUEC?

[compact basin]

I CHANGED IT

STOP

[toxic citrus]

lmfao

A full ROC load

Which is 0.25 SCU

I think?

[compact basin]

And that's 200k in Had?

[toxic citrus]

no wait

0.8

[compact basin]

dayum

[toxic citrus]

0.8 SCU

Keep in mind those shits are small

and you'll need quite a bit of them

[tulip roost]

No, 200k money for full Hadanite load of ROC

[compact basin]

Yeah aware, didn't know it was that much

[tulip roost]

It'll take you anywhere between 1 and 2 hours depending on luck. That is if you mine on Auberdeen ofc

[supple cedar]

wait so lyria isnt good for hadanite mining?

because when i was on aberdeen istg every ping ended up being like rocks and not gems

if you know what i mean

[tulip roost]

I know

And it seems they fixed it

Haven't seen a single deposit like that and I mined yday

[toxic citrus]

Aberdeen it is

[supple cedar]

okayy

[toxic citrus]

Well lyria is defo good for quant

[tulip roost]

Aberdeen is densest in hadanite of all moons, Arial is second best iirc

But get a Pembroke or you'll fry

[supple cedar]

okay thanks guys

[toxic citrus]

Yeah pembroke is a requirement for any ROC operator

[tulip roost]

You can get away with that greycat suit, but you'll have to go back into the ship every 2-3 rocks, which is very annoying

[toxic citrus]

Yep.

[keen cedar]

What's the best thing to mine in a prospector besides quantanium? For if I'm not feeling dealing with a time constraint on a particular session. Or is the difference in profit between quantanium and #2 so vastly different that it's only ever worth doing quantanium runs?

[toxic citrus]

Second best minable is like 1/2 of quants value

I highly recommend not to

[tulip roost]

What would be the most reliable trade tool currently?

[sacred loom]

A C2 =]

[tulip roost]

You're a funny guy, Vader. I'm gonna trade you last

[raw storm]

Where should i go mining with ROC?

[sacred loom]

Sorry, i was being serious. About loading up a C2 for trading

[tulip roost]

I meant trading tool as in app with prices of goods

[supple cedar]

ive been told aberdeen or lyria

[raw storm]

Ya im going aberdeen

[toxic citrus]

Lyria can have some hadanite deposits

Although overall aberdeen should have more

[sacred loom]

Here ya go man. https://www.gallog.co/commodities

[river crow]

How do you do fellow miners

[north oyster]

Doing good, learning the ways of the new Ping

[north oyster]

Closer to 275K aUEC

[tulip roost]

That's for 1 SCU of Hadanite tho, no?

[toxic citrus]

No

.8

ROC has .8 SCU storage

[tulip roost]

Yeah, but isn't Hadanate 275 a piece?

[toxic citrus]

Idfk lol

[tulip roost]

Making it 275k for full SCU, not 0.8

[toxic citrus]

sec

[north oyster]

Each gem is 275, times 800, so maybe 242K aUEC. I need to check

[toxic citrus]

There

Imagine if prospector could scoop up hadanite

[north oyster]

Ah, ok, probably changed from 3.13. ROC mining was killed in 3.14

[toxic citrus]

Mining meta would change quite a lot if prospector could do that

Hada and quant have quite a big price difference

[north oyster]

If you crack more three rocks your game tanks in FPS.

[toxic citrus]

mmh

[north oyster]

I found three hadinite rocks on a slope last night, cracked all 3 to pick up at once. It got a little rough

[silk ridge]

[toxic citrus]

It's a good thing prospector can't scoop gems

Holy shit

If you could

[silk ridge]

Well... you can crack rocks with a Prospector and pick the gems up ... a bit tedious ... but good pocket moneys

[toxic citrus]

A full prospector hada load is 880k

Jeezus

if it was possible

I can imagine mole

[north oyster]

I use to use the Prospector to crack and others scoop, I think CIG changed a few things to make that not so good

[toxic citrus]

mmh

Tho i gotta say having 2 lancet prospectors is really good

You can just apply the laser with 0% power and the optimal window is so much better

[north oyster]

That’s what the Lancet was designed for, support laser

[toxic citrus]

Helix's end was unfortunate

Then a little shitter support laser took the meta spot

[silk ridge]

I've been out doing deliveries, looting all the foods and water so far. Last trip mining sent me right into an Asteroid xD

[north oyster]

I miss the Helix, they did it wrong

[toxic citrus]

For its price, i'd imagine so

[north oyster]

Yep, a 108k laser gets totally owned by a 20k laser. Makes perfect sense

[silk ridge]

Imagine the outrage if they re-balance the lasers ...

Ppl. lost their minds over scan-meta ...

Actual footage of miners in SC when they touch the lasers:

[toxic citrus]

I mean

If they touch lasers they'll die

You really don't wanna go infront of one

[silk ridge]

[north oyster]

It’ll be coming, the Lancet was never designed to take center stage

[toxic citrus]

yeh

Wonder what the next meta will be

[tulip roost]

Handmining

[toxic citrus]

Oh god please no

Anything but that

[tulip roost]

Oh yes, massive cave systems with just Hadanite, everywhere

[toxic citrus]

Oh

Then i wont complain

[north oyster]

I’m just happy to see ROC mining get some love

[toxic citrus]

Yeah

[tulip roost]

It did?

[toxic citrus]

Yeah?

ROC mining is more profitable now

[tulip roost]

I like ROC mining, but having to constantly transport the ROC is annoying AF

[north oyster]

I had a blast last night mining in the ROC

[toxic citrus]

Pretty sure the hada deposits are more common now or smt

[tulip roost]

I just want a ROCable cave with plenty of Hadanite

[silk ridge]

Well... let's put it that way: Hard hits and rebalancing is to be expected if you dabble in the highest earning, low risk money making meta 🤣 It's annoying and sucks ... but it's unavoidable ... and in the end nothing to loose your marbles over... 🤣

[toxic citrus]

I mean

[north oyster]

Get the MAX, makes ROC mining fun

[toxic citrus]

If helix had just gotten a minor nerf

The lasers would've been pretty balanced

[tulip roost]

High earning, low risk jobs are balanced by being boring

[toxic citrus]

They went balls deep with its nerf

[north oyster]

Tru dat

[tulip roost]

Non-combat work should always be more profitable

[toxic citrus]

Eh, i personally don't find mining boring

[north oyster]

It doesn’t matter to me, just offer a viable and fun game loop

[tulip roost]

It's not boring enough for you to not do it for sure, but let's face it, mining is not exactly a riveting adventure

[silk ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-chainsaw-loli-girl-mad-gif-16476727

Well... CIG uses a chainsaw instead of sandpaper to balance and smooth things out.

[north oyster]

Working the planet’s surface is a fun place

Prospector mining is my money tree, ROC mining is my fun time

[silk ridge]

Can we get a Prospector XL that holds a ROC on it's belly?

Would be neat

[toxic citrus]

Why

Why

[north oyster]

That’s called the Odysee

[amber verge]

Anyone got tips on how to mine in a roc?

[river crow]

[rose skiff]

Go to daymar for hadanite

[amber verge]

Is that the best ore?

[toxic citrus]

Yes.

Thats the best ROC minable

[north oyster]

You need a transport ship

[amber verge]

Ty

I’ve got one just haven’t bothered with roc mining yet

[north oyster]

No, Aberdeen is best place

I can reply later, I’m on pos iPad, hard to type

There is a great little tip about the new ping that makes find gems pretty fast

[amber verge]

What tip is that?

[north oyster]

I’m not going to try to type that out on this device. Commuting at the moment

DM me and I’ll reply later

[river crow]

The ultimate refiner

[north oyster]

No stopping him

[silk ridge]

and why are my refinery jobs not done yet?

[north oyster]

What method did you choose?

[silk ridge]

Dynx ... But with workers this effective, it should be done in half the time

[north oyster]

Ah, got ya

Need more coffee

[silk ridge]

Same. I only had 5 cups so far xD

[north oyster]

Big League

[silk ridge]

😆 I'll end up with 2 liters on average

[sacred loom]

Found some Hadanite....

[manic estuary]

nice view you got there

[hollow sedge]

Oh shoot!! That's correct! Dang, was really excited to get $60m 🤣🤣 late night maths not my specialty LOL

[uncut grotto]

i heard you could make changes to scanner settings to make scouting easier
anybody has a link to a guide or something?

[sacred loom]

Here mate only works in Lyria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot7Zh3lZyQ0

[uncut grotto]

👍

[fallow gull]

could someone reccomend good cargo routes and what items to buy please?

[serene quest]

they really need to come up with a better way of on/offloading items to/from ships

[solid venture]

Anyone know good spots for hand mining this patch?

[thin escarp]

@sacred loom I have my guide coming out in the next few days too

it's way more simplified and it's shorter.

I'm going to make a seperate video that goes just over gadgets and solo prospector mining.

[north oyster]

For those who do ROC Mining, the new ping system actually favors your search more than you realize. My experience has been this, At the time that the large deposits "vanish" from your ping as you approach them, the Gem deposits show up and stay on radar until you come up on them. No DeadZone on gem pings. This works about 98% of the time. Occasionally you'll have a large deposit stay on radar until you are on top of it, but if you get a new ping at about 2400 meters and it doesn't vanish, that is a Gem deposit.

@amber verge Here's the info that I was talking about. Hope it makes sense

[tulip roost]

I have no idea what's the fuss about scanning

Ran a full ROC run, never mistook a ping

[thin escarp]

that's because you are roc mining.

[tulip roost]

Just fly in a straight line, mash the tab, watch for new contacts and if it pops up at 2-3k, go there

[north oyster]

PING for normal mining is a new monster

[thin escarp]

scanning has been completely messed with for quant mining

[north oyster]

That deadzone baffles me

But it does come in handy for the ROC miners

[tulip roost]

So large rocks don't pop under 2.4k at all?

[north oyster]

not until you are on top of them at 800 meters with an icon

[thin escarp]

@tulip roost quant mining isn't like roc mining at all

we need pairs and clusters. we csnt tell how many rocks are in a box until on top of it

we used to be able to see 5km out

[north oyster]

I need to do a keybind for quick zoom

I had some ghosting and artifacts on my HUD last night from ping/scanning. I think it messed up the results while it was on the display.

I wish they could've done the ROC mining improvements without trashing the regular ship mining game loop

[karmic socket]

Got 30k’d while on a mining run and with 200k of Laranite in the hold at a mining station. When I logged back in vehicle terminal told me my C2 is still at the mining station. I took my Arrow and flew back to the mining station but my C2 was gone… 😭

[toxic citrus]

yeah and that's why you don't do trading

[ornate tusk]

Where do I sell my refined ores to?

[toxic citrus]

Any TDD

On NB, Lorville, A18

[ornate tusk]

It's not giving me any options for selection/selling

[toxic citrus]

Thats not a TDD is it?

[ornate tusk]

Are they at admin offices or different places?

[toxic citrus]

On the main planets

What planet are you closest to?

[ornate tusk]

Im at Lorville

[toxic citrus]

Then take the train to the business district

[bold yew]

This is not true, I can tell how many rocks there are from around 10k using the scanner mechanics listed in the video just a page up.

I can even see from further than 10k now sometimes.

I think the only actual nerf is that the MOLE will have a harder time in the belt, but is fine on Lyria.

[dapper solstice]

Anyone got a good guide on Trading?

[bold yew]

People keep asking about trading but as far as I can tell nothing has changed for it since last patch.

[toxic citrus]

Yeah.

[bold yew]

It was one of the worst loops last patch, as far as I know it still is.

[toxic citrus]

Trading is all the same

buy laranite sell laranite

[thorny pendant]

aaahahahahaah I had no idea de ROC could die/run outta power. RIP

[bold yew]

The reason being is they are going to prob overhaul it next patch, so they put trading on ice.

[toxic citrus]

You can take the gems out and go back to your ship

[thorny pendant]

Doing it one at a time with no backpack. Paiiiiiin...

[toxic citrus]

oof

Yeahhh you really want to buy oen

[dapper solstice]

Just asking for any guide, I'm new to the game and someone who claimed he made 300-400k an hour, told me to look up a guide and the routes, but when i search up trading all I get is refueling selling guides.

[toxic citrus]

*one

[toxic citrus]

I mean you can fly your ship to the ROC, no?

[bold yew]

ROC seems to take damage over time and needs to be repaired every few runs out.

[thorny pendant]

I think I'ma switch to Bunker runs. Did hours yesterday with very little luck. :c

[bold yew]

Mining has been a bit iffy but I am trying to different techniques out. I will say the new overcharge mechanic caught me off guard.

However, now that I have the new scanning down it is not much different than last patch, just a bit of a curve. I want to find a way to leverage these mining gadgets though.

[thorny pendant]

I spent like one hour and half without finding a single Hedanite deposit Yesterday :c

[toxic citrus]

What moon?

[thorny pendant]

Deymar

[toxic citrus]

Ah

[bold yew]

People don't talk about how streaky mining can be, but ya sometimes it happens.

[toxic citrus]

Try aberdeen next time

Apparently thats good too

[thorny pendant]

Definitely. Need better armor tho

[bold yew]

That is the problem with a RNG based system, sometimes bad dice.

[toxic citrus]

Also if you want to get a better mining vessel get a prospector and go to lyria

That place is stacked with quantainium

[thorny pendant]

That's what I'm working towards right now. Only at 268k tho, lolol

[bold yew]

Is true, but I want to bust those really big rocks solo on Lyria. Just because I think it is fun.

[toxic citrus]

Yeah

Friend found a 8k mass 45% yesterday

Then he accidentally self destructed

We never saw that rock again

[bold yew]

Ya found one like that yesterday even brought a friend on to help but then we found out about the new overcharge stuff 😦

[toxic citrus]

Wdym "new"

[bold yew]

My mole can normally take a rock hit, but this one hit just right took out a cooler and did not quite make it to the pad, cost me 200k 😭

[toxic citrus]

Its always been there

[bold yew]

It is a bit different now

[toxic citrus]

I guess

[thin escarp]

are you using gadgets

[bold yew]

So before you could tap into the red a bit and any decent miner could bring it back down.

No not last time and we tested this with multiple people so was not just me. I did not belive it until I saw it myself btw.

They esentially cut the leeway we had with the red zone down. It goes critical almost twice as fast as before.

Try it out with no mods and you will see, it will cook into the red and almost instantly start a death charge now.

[north oyster]

Jack Axton's video on trade refresher course. From a couple of builds back but still very relevant

[bold yew]

So you can turn the laser off but it will go from almost no red all the way to critical very fast.

Now this is not too big of a deal because I almost never go red any more, but it was different.

[toxic citrus]

Fair

[north oyster]

Welcome to the verse, did you get some answers to your questions?

[toxic citrus]

Spoiler: you wont

[bold yew]

I have tried to recreate these routes and most of the time people are fudging time. I do not recommend trading for new players right now.

[toxic citrus]

Laranite stock is simply way too low to get any considerable amounts

[thorny pendant]

So.. if you destroy the ROC, it drops the cargo in a box. Easier to transfer to the ship. 🙂

[north oyster]

There area number of guides on the CIG website and also a program to partner you with a more veteran player

[bold yew]

The only way to make even bad money in trading right now is by using volume trades with a large ship like a C2, and I do it for fun but do not recommend it. If the game goes shit, and you loose a load that is aroudn one mil gone.

[toxic citrus]

Yeah.

[north oyster]

Trade is in a bad position at the moment, it will not improve until they get the cargo refactor in place

[bold yew]

Pretty much every other loop is better right now, and more importantly with less risk.

[toxic citrus]

Doesnt mean that will buff trading though

[bold yew]

The servers have been a little volitile lately so you have a ship with one mil of goods and the server crashes, it wont even bother 30king which means you get none of that back.

[north oyster]

They have just released multiple trade ships including some small trade ships, I would not be too terribly confident in that position. But none of us really know

[bold yew]

I mean next patch is the begining of a major cargo refactor, they will probably look at trading then, but it really is just on ice right now.

[north oyster]

Except for game client crashes the system heartbeat does work pretty good for those running trade

[bold yew]

That is the think it is a coin toss if the crash will actually go all the way to a 30k, that is too much risk.

[toxic citrus]

I really do hope so

[dapper solstice]

Really I'm just looking for a good way to make some good money to buy my first ship, a Cutlass.

[toxic citrus]

Oof well you arent going to be making any trading an titan

Or aurora

[undone bridge]

Howdy. I've been around for alittle bit now but haven't tried mining outside of my stints in prison. I've got an argo mole and since reset only about 300k. Any advice on prioity upgrades to assist in my first forays into mining?

[toxic citrus]

Get lancet mh2's on it

[dapper solstice]

I kept trying bunkers, but when I was able to effectively make a working crate, the bunker missions didn't come up, or something went wrong, like the time my ship just decided to blow up.

[toxic citrus]

Modules are 100% optional

Since you are in a mole

[bold yew]

There are many other choices that are well documented, new bunkers, satalight missions, roc mining, bounty hunting. I think the fotm is bunkers now though.

[toxic citrus]

Considering you are in a mole and most likely running with a crew modules are optional imo

[dapper solstice]

Also managed to bring a crate to an 890, but it didn't hold as much as I thought, so I bought all the weapons I found and some armor pieces, but just made a little over 17k.

[undone bridge]

@dapper solstice Your ship was most likely blown up by the turrets at the bunker shooting at you. The lights don't show but you can see damage to shields. Recommend Maxing shield and landing the ship with the bunker structure between you and the turret.

[bold yew]

MOLE is kinda a hard core mining ship right now. I meanif your just starting why not a prospector?

[undone bridge]

It's more that I already have a mole vice looking to get a ship.

[bold yew]

I use a MOLE, because I like to screw around with moduals gadgets and I want to try to solo crack the big ones because I am greedy ass dorf.

[dapper solstice]

Is there only one turret?

[bold yew]

But I lost 200k the last time things went bad 😅

[undone bridge]

On the bunkers, thats all i've seen.

I havent bought any new equipment since the reset. Do you lose non-stock hardpoints on ships following a claim?

[toxic citrus]

1-3

[toxic citrus]

You dont

Although you do lose modules

[frail roost]

Can a Helix 1 fit in the cargo of a Pisces?

[bold yew]

On the mole you loose all the moduals and every once in a great while heads too.

[toxic citrus]

Heads rarely

[undone bridge]

Okay, so upgrades to laser and the like will last through my failures as a pilot. Good to know. The whole medical respawn and lost corpse threw me for a loop.

[bold yew]

Is true, but I really rubs it in when they dont come back too 😢

[bold yew]

What I would do until you are comfortable and if you already bought the mole in game and not cash is just set up the center turret like you would a prospector.

Once you get your feet under you with that, then go ahead and fit the rest. This is just limiting your potental loss until you get the feel of things.

[toxic citrus]

Mole can get time consuming running around between the pilots seat and the laser

Just saying

[undone bridge]

It was cash. It's always cash.

[toxic citrus]

I used one once, never again

[bold yew]

Honestly unless you have friends going with you or something, id just change it into a prospector for now.

[toxic citrus]

Takes too much effort solo imo

[bold yew]

I do the mole thing because it is fun and I love the ship.

And I mine pretty much all the time so I like the versatility.

[toxic citrus]

Prospector is pretty fun in atmo

[bold yew]

Prospector is better than it ever has been.

[toxic citrus]

Handles suprisingly well

[bold yew]

But as I said if you really want to use the mole anyway (as I do), just fit it like a prospector in the beginning. Throw a lancent on it and a vaux with a focus and an active module to play with like a stampede or brandit

Just use the center head for now, then once you get it going you can use a standard mole build.

[manic estuary]

so what are some new lancet + module + mining gadget combos to consistently break 7-8k mass quant deposits?

[bold yew]

So on a prospector?

[manic estuary]

I hate leaving quant behind, im using a mole now solo

[toxic citrus]

Oh,

[bold yew]

I had no problem busting those size rocks on PTU, but now I am not having luck so am actively trying different configs. I am trying for a non surge build.

[manic estuary]

apparently boremax + surge + stampede is worth a try

[bold yew]

I am trying to find a way to do it reliably and safely with a helix.

[manic estuary]

ah good luck with that 🙂

[bold yew]

The idea was to use the power of the helix and the stability from the gadget.

I did this on PTU multiple times, but for some reason cant seem to do it now.

[manic estuary]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qCMnXdjTAY

yeah wow, see that Helix there

[median smelt]

So was doing some mining, seems like we overheated the coolers

we're at 9000/2000 heat...

Any way to speed up the venting?

[toxic citrus]

Nope, you'll need to wait

I recommend switching up the coolers next time around

[median smelt]

Gad damn

It's going down 1 a second

Going to be here for 116 minutes

lol

[frail cypress]

what if you turn off everything else but the coolers? wouldn't that generate less heat thus reducing the workload on coolers?

[median smelt]

Turned entire ship off, screens in cockpit not turning on anymore

[unique sky]

is there a lfg channel here

[bold yew]

Haha ya is why I don't put those two gadgets together. Look at the penalties 😆

[frail cypress]

if you turned off the whole ship, then coolers are off as well no?

[toxic citrus]

#looking-for-session i guess?

Thats in general for everything

[unique sky]

yeah i figured that

[median smelt]

Fair point

Problem is I can't access screens to turn on and off :/

[toxic citrus]

Hold R

[bold yew]

If it is staying off that means something is damaged.

[hollow sedge]

L Shift as well if you are having trouble seeing the UI in mining mode

It zooms in so that is a workaround for the terrible UI

[bold yew]

The MOLE tends to take more damage to the coolers than anything else.

[north oyster]

still better than it was in 3.16. The HUD was it's own survival mini-game when mining

[autumn cedar]

@north oyster are you here sir?

[toxic citrus]

Give him a minute or 2

[autumn cedar]

no worries

[north oyster]

greetings

[autumn cedar]

evening

Could you take a few seconds and look at this post in Help and tell me if you know what the symbol at the lower part of the hud means?
#helpdesk message

[north oyster]

I'm on a slow connection, give me a moment

[autumn cedar]

no hurry

[tulip roost]

better server stability and framerates improved mining immensly

No joke, I'll take this patch for all it's meh content for stability and performance alone over any other recent patch

[north oyster]

that's interesting, I can't say that I've seen it before. I can probably ask on one of the forums I have access to that most others don't. I'm curious, if it might be a programming shard that wasn't cleaned out

sort of like the "change me" balls

[autumn cedar]

thanks for taking the time, I've never seen this before so was curious.

[frail cypress]

it means you have a gadget on the rock and it's active

[autumn cedar]

oh

[north oyster]

I'll see what I can find out, maybe one of the CIG guys will chime in when I do ask

[autumn cedar]

thanks

[north oyster]

Ah, new gadget toy

I didn't get a chance to test them in the PTU, no wonder

[north oyster]

FTW

[autumn cedar]

I used optimax for the 1st time yesterday and honestly don't remember if there was any kind of icon present on the hud

was focused too much on the optimal window 🙂

[north oyster]

funny is that I carried one around for a month on my back but never made into the Halo to test, the game always crashed on me

[autumn cedar]

hm

[north oyster]

Early testing is brutal, LOL

soul sucking, in fact

[autumn cedar]

mine finally glitched out on lyria yesterday, when it seemingly attached to a Q rock but was in fact floating several meters away in air.

[north oyster]

the first couple of patches it was very dangeroud to try to use them

[autumn cedar]

I've read that yes

[north oyster]

the patch notes offer some interesting insight

[chrome furnace]

I have a Hercules as my only spacecraft, I think. I've got 20K cash. I've tried doing some cargo hauls but I end up paying more in fuel than I make. What is the right progression here to make enough capital for Cargo hauling to be worth it? Any advice?

[north oyster]

Cargo is not in a good place but having a C2 as your daily is too expensive. You can use her for bounty hunting. Once you get about 90K, run scrap from Area18 to ARC-L1. that'll give you about 25k per run. Do that a number of times then look at Gold and Titanium

I would suggest getting an Pieces or Aurora for a daily

[chrome furnace]

Okay, thank you for the advice.

[north oyster]

Jack Axton has a great refresher course on trade on YT. It's a few months old but still valid.

He covers doing basic runs that you can afford then working your way up

[hollow sedge]

Looking for mining crew. Immediate payout. Scouts needed. DM for inv

[compact basin]

Anyone close to lyria who wants to mine a 43,5% 7300 quant rock?

[bold yew]

Please don't do trade other than for fun this patch. It is not worth it with a full c2 is too much risk to loose your load to jenky server stuff.

[knotty mountain]

what a beautiful rock i missed lol

[native latch]

just tryna mine with someone

hmu

[compact basin]

Yeah man, maybe next time hahah!

[little pendant]

I just upgraded to a Nomad and want to start grinding for a ROC. what would be the best contracts to do before then?

also is there a recommended place to set as your home base for mining? I'm currently set to new babbage

[native latch]

Lorville id say

i got the roc with a cutty

[little pendant]

nice! I eventually want a cutty. I just upgraded from mustang alpha to nomad so I'm looking forward to playing finally

[karmic socket]

Lost 200k worth of cargo earlier today to a 30k server crash 😭

[high wren]

welp, first prospector run near arc l1, netted $199 848. took me bout 18 minutes from start of first rock breaking to landing at refinery. 5000 mass with 28% quant. this is a fantastic way to make cash. have a mole but the greater holding capacity doesnt work to well with the 15 minute timer

[bold yew]

The timer does not really matter for the mole. It only takes a few min to get to arc1 from lyria.

I am not recommending a MOLE, I think it is fine for experianced miners who like to mix things up.

[high wren]

if the rox are clustered it should be ok, but if spread out ima have to hurry

[bold yew]

Pull the mole back and above the cluser out to 100m or so, the extraction range is like 300m on a mole with a helix on it.

So do the breaks on your breaking head, then pull back and extract with the extractoin head (with the filters on it).

[high wren]

yep, using helix. i use to only mine on planets but just started to mine astroid belts. daymar was my usual spot

[bold yew]

It even works fine with a lancet, is still close to 300m

I been messing around with all this today, trying to bust big rocks for fun.

[high wren]

have lancet on prospector. this was very quick compared to my old mining route

[bold yew]

I am thinking the new meta for the MOLE is going to be a helix as a breaking head coupled with a combo of mods and gadgets. (Working on the best combo), a detail head to break the small chunks quick and safe, and then a full extraction filter head.

So is only a bit different, instead of two lancets and a helix, will be two helix and one lancet.

[idle blade]

when did they add filtering?

[serene quest]

think you can fit a light ground vehicle in the bay of a Nomad?

[karmic socket]

Roc fits well

[burnt pelican]

how do i turn on the front turret on the mole

[fossil scaffold]

How much can the C2 make on a run? And is it worth getting as a primary money making source?

[fair slate]

Hope jumptown comes with free fly, I need a reason to login

[devout comet]

https://www.erkul.games/loadout/VjsGwuM1

Is this a good prospector build?

I'm just getting into mining

[restive ether]

so, what bases like jumptown actually work? I'm at the Orphanage on Lyria, and my ship doesn't even show up in the console

[thin escarp]

@devout comet I have a guide with loadouts pinned in this channel

[stark harness]

I just bought it and if you wanna do trade you need at least a decent investment to be efficient.

[fossil scaffold]

Ah alright! Please let me know how you like it so I can choose whether or not to buy it :))

[stark harness]

I love it tbh. It will be my main cargo ship for mining (selling refined stuff) and for trading when I want a break from mining

it looks so nice too.. I don't regret it tbh

its a big boy so gotta be careful doing your landings lol

[fossil scaffold]

Do you have any thoughts on the Starfarer Gemini?

Are is refuelling profitable yet? Or non-existent? LOL

[devout comet]

So bad

[thin escarp]

@devout comet ?

whats so bad?

[devout comet]

I assumed since you told me you had a guide my thing was bad

[thin escarp]

haha nah man I'm on my phone it wouldn't load

but some stuff you don't need to upgrade

[devout comet]

Like what?

[devout comet]

@thin escarp should I get shields for it?

[thin escarp]

I only do laser, modules, and qt

[errant galleon]

i doubt you would get any customers in this update

[fossil scaffold]

I wish it was better because the Starfarer is awesome lol

[errant galleon]

it does look awesome

a lot of these ships need more love

[latent latch]

Anyone elses mole front turret just not working aka won't boot up?

[wraith cairn]

Hi, newbie here, approx how much profit per hour is hadanite ROC mining compared to quant Prospector mining?

[thin escarp]

roc mining can net 200k if ya know what your doing

if you have a kitted prospector you can make 250-275k an hour

[wraith cairn]

oh so its not thaaaat much more

a dude said he mined half a day and got like 4-5mil worth of quant

[thin escarp]

yeah i can do that

i'm using a mole though

[wraith cairn]

oh he specifically mentioned using a prospector :p

[tulip roost]

It depends purely on luck

[toxic citrus]

Yep, its down to luck how fast you can find good rocks

[tulip roost]

Mining is much harder to calculate hourly income because we would need much larger datasets than a day of mining

[toxic citrus]

^

And how do we know if the guy had a scout or not

[sterile remnant]

how much is cutlass black ingame

[toxic citrus]

1385300

[sterile remnant]

do u guys think its worth buying or j renting till the prospect?

ty

[toxic citrus]

Buy a prospector

Never rent one

[sterile remnant]

how much is that sorry?

[devout comet]

Bet thanks

[sterile remnant]

im just renting the cutlass black as its more efficent for me

will be saving for prospect

[toxic citrus]

Prospector is 2.1mil

[sterile remnant]

thanks

[sterile remnant]

im gonna save for that w my rented roc and cutlass

[toxic citrus]

Good plan

[sterile remnant]

any tips on how to maximise aphorite or those jems where best to find them

[toxic citrus]

Oof

Dont mine apho

Buy a pembroke suit and go to aberdeen

Try finding hadanite

Thats the most valuable one

[sterile remnant]

okay ty

[compact basin]

If anyone is quant mining at Lyria, have a 37%/7900m rock that needs breaking. Will be available for a while more

[thorny pendant]

Bruh been trying to mine Hadanite for hours. If its not a server crash, the roc bugs out.

[tulip roost]

The suffering continues

[sterile remnant]

Do you switch engines off Cassus

[thorny pendant]

On the cutlass, yeah

[sterile remnant]

no the roc

when flying

[thorny pendant]

Once I put it back in the ship, yeah.

[sterile remnant]

ah okay does it bug when flying

[thorny pendant]

No.

It bugs out by mining laser not working, mining and extraction gets inverted, wheels wont turn with A or D and have to switch to the stick on Hotas to maneuver, etc.

[sterile remnant]

ah shit sorry dont know how to help there mate

[thorny pendant]

It's fine. Have had to relog several times and wasted a lot of time going back and forth picking up the ROC and Aberdeen with no profit due to the relogs, lmao

[sterile remnant]

bro star citizen got me walking round for hours ive wasted a lot of time ur not alone

hope u sort it out

where r u mining? or trying to

[thorny pendant]

Aberdeen

[sterile remnant]

same is it okay now?

[thorny pendant]

Seems to be working for now

[sterile remnant]

do u own or rent cutlass

[thorny pendant]

Renting

[sterile remnant]

cool same man have u done a run yet

my first run cut short as i slammed into the ground lost all 4 thrusters believe it or not and somehow slumped my way back to rhe space station to repair

[thorny pendant]

Havent been able to do one completely how I wanted. Usually a bug happens or I have to cut the trip short.

[sterile remnant]

okay well good luck mate hope it turns out good

[thorny pendant]

Thanks, you too mate.

[sterile remnant]

if u do pls let me know how much u make from ur run

[thorny pendant]

A ROC full of Hadanite should net you around 220k I believe

[dusky portal]

is the aaron halo still a solid spot for quant in a prospector? or should i head out to lyria?

[subtle cradle]

Lyria

And bring 2 x surge and 1 x stampede modules

[loud mural]

i really wanna do some trading right now but i'm too scared i might crash and lose it all

[dusky portal]

thanks

[covert jungle]

is there a way to fix the roc bug

[silk ridge]

Just don't haul so many goods that a crash would leave you broke xD

[loud mural]

so you want me to haul for 5k profit ? xD

[dense surge]

hey is it wise to rent a prospector and just mine?

i have like 600k left but im getting tired and sick of t90 jump missions

[arctic haven]

is the prospector worth it for money making? I have about 1.1MM credits and I'm thinking of buying a prospector to work with my buddy's freelancer and mine for money to buy a Connie

[loud mural]

it's not worth renting, but it's worth buying, since you'll be able to change the modules to mines better

[topaz burrow]

rented prospector cant mine Quantum. It's better to buy one and outfit it properly. Otherwise I'd argue roc mining is better then the rented Prospector

[arctic haven]

yea I was going to buy one

save up the next 1MM and then buy the prospector and gear for it

[velvet snow]

Whats the best station for quantanium refining? I've been using MIC-L1 since the beginning, but also hear people say CRU-L1 is the place to go

[topaz burrow]

some refineries have better yeld. But personally I will go to wherever is nearest the difference, for me, in neglectable for the extra time it takes to QT

[deep vector]

Rented roc better than rented prospector, period

[silk ridge]

Only 5K? That's not worth starting the engines for xD

[silk ridge]

CRU-L1 for it's Yield-Bonus and ARC-L1 for its close proximity to Lyria and some nice spots in the Halo.

But keep in mind, that those are also the Refineries that get visits from pirates more frequently.

[dense surge]

what is the best way to earn money so i can buy a prospector?

[toxic citrus]

Halt illegal surveilance

or bounties

[dense surge]

okay, qeustion about illegal surveilance i heard that they buffed the ai? and there somewhat more deadly now? is this true

[high wren]

just bought freelancer max (for the high cargo capacity) but it says min 2 crew. i can fly solo still i hope

[toxic citrus]

Meh

Just ignore them

[rough cove]

Even if you ignore them, they’ll shoot at you, but you can dodge their fire fairly easily if you’re in something agile like an Aurora or Mustang.

[silk ridge]

You can fly all ships solo so far. You just miss utility like the Turret in case of the Freelancer.

[thin escarp]

@dense surge don't rent keep saving

@arctic haven yes prospector still viable

def can show ppl the ropes mining

[tight latch]

will the hull e be able to land on planets or will that be a space based freighter?? thoughts

[blazing cedar]

Personally I hope it's space-bound so that things like the Argo Cargo have a role

Given the way its cargo is laid out it's hard to imagine how that thing would land when under full load

[rough cove]

Nothing past the Hull B can land while loaded IIRC

[finite lion]

are there currently good cargo routes ?

[toxic citrus]

Yeah, Hull B is apparently getting a landing gear rework so it'll be able to land on planets

Hull C and above can't

[tight latch]

aww

si if i get the hull e how would i sell my metal matierals

or refiend matierals

[toxic citrus]

Main cities might have special docking points for the Hull series

We'll see

[tame bloom]

Do you keep ships after wipes?

[toxic citrus]

No

Isn't it pretty obvious that you don't

You only keep pledged ones

[thin escarp]

@tame bloom depends on the wipe

they seperated it into 3 things.

auec. ships, etc

[tulip roost]

If you wipe hard enough....

[toxic citrus]

In most cases its a full wipe tho

[finite lion]

Any good trading sides ? Like websites ?

[gentle vine]

where is the best place to mine with a rented prospector?

[thin escarp]

eh

cant mine quant with it

maybe daymar and look for agricium?

or yela

[violet viper]

Together with a friend with a owned prospector to crack rocks. So u only have to pick up the materials.

[thin escarp]

rental prospector is absolute trash but its okay if you get it to learn the basics i guess.

[tulip roost]

Renting a Prospector is a good way to find out if you really want to buy one

Thinking of mining and mining are two different things

[high wren]

I have an argo mole and find landing in big areas like area 18 or new babbage a little dodgy sometimes. Harder to control ship. Do you other mole owners experience this or do you just fly them to space stations outside those areas?

[frail cypress]

just don't go into cities with the mole. once you've bought the upgrades you want for it, there is really no reason to go anywhere but mining and refinery stations

[tulip roost]

You still can't transfer ship modules to ship cargo, right?

[sullen anvil]

You shouldn't fly the mole to cities its too risky.

Pad rammers like to ram mining ships

[thin escarp]

@high wren yeah I don't fly my mole to big cities unless I'm leaving a18 at the time of a patch

[high wren]

k, i have to do the same, very clunky in that atmosphere or something

[tulip roost]

Where are all the pad rammers I've been hearing about? I've yet to see one and I pledged in 2014

[thin escarp]

u haven't ran into Sfer and his griefing org

[tulip roost]

Is it really a US/EU dychotomy?

Barely see any PVP or griefing for that matter on EU

There's like one red ship politely duelling at PO every half a year or so

Hell, last time I was domed by a player, you could buy Widow at Jumptown

And the guy apologized because he was covering a friend and got twitchy

[toxic citrus]

Everyone is too nice on EU

But that's just how it is

[tulip roost]

US players mirin our comf

[toxic citrus]

EU players are really polite from what i've experience

Everyone simply wants to do their own thing

[tulip roost]

It's a mutual respect of enjoying the serenity of sphess

[toxic citrus]

Yep

[velvet nebula]

any group rn going mining or trading that needs a refueler for non stop transport?

[serene pawn]

is it a common bug that my yield disappears? like i have 3-4 process refine and I have 3 works done for example I take out and sell 2 but the 3rd one disappears as well as some work in process yields at the refining station

[coral flume]

Any work arounds for the vanishing Roc/ship? I lost 70 cSCU of Hadanite last night. Devastated.

[visual turret]

Rock store?

[earnest tendon]

We find and sell Quant rock for willing buyers.

We hadn't for a while due to updates but we are trying to start back

[pastel canopy]

Hello, one question can oyu mine more rocks at once in MOLE??

[frail cypress]

you can if you have at least 2 laser operators

[pastel canopy]

rly? coss we tried now and when one miner was mining other one saw progress on that one miner insted have his own progress bar

[frail cypress]

could be desync or some other weird temporary bug. i tried it in the halo after 3.17 came out and it worked as before

[pastel canopy]

ok thx

[earnest tendon]

yeah. Best to have 2 others in there with you due to de-sync but as long as you can get 2 lasers going... makes it a lot better.

[royal reef]

8341 mass/47.5% quant, who wants it?

[toxic citrus]

You got a prosp too?

[royal reef]

in it right now at the rock

[toxic citrus]

Alr whats ur in game handle

i'll come wreck it with u

Nvm stupid question

[rotund prairie]

anyone ever been ROC mining and the rocks suddenly stop taking energy? laser is on it at 100% for minutes and charge bar doesn't start moving at all

[toxic citrus]

There was someone earlier with the same issue

[toxic citrus]

Try simply relogging

[rotund prairie]

will i be here in the same place again?

[toxic citrus]

Maybe?

Although the ROC might not be there

[rotund prairie]

relogged. came back at bed spawn

oh well

[wooden forum]

Where can u spawn a roc on Aberdeen?

[rotund prairie]

roc only had a few scu so far anyway

not sure. im on daymar

[toxic citrus]

Any mining outpost

[wooden forum]

Alr

[wintry mango]

Hmm, checked the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot7Zh3lZyQ0 about how to scan properly in 3.17

But i have a problem, how do you change the angle of scanning, no matter what i do it stays at 360 degrees, it just adjust the ring size

[frail cypress]

keybinds, flight - radar: ping angle

[wooden forum]

Is there even one one Aberdeen ?

[toxic citrus]

Not sure tbf lol

[wintry mango]

Oooh, im at the wrong one then

Hmm, got the angle to work, but still doesnt show the rocks from a distance

[frail cypress]

it barely works in space, best to use it on moons

[wintry mango]

I am, no worries there

maybe i should fly lower/higher

[frail cypress]

make sure you aim right at the box, at a distance lower than 12.5

[wintry mango]

Yeah, they are at 2-4 km, so no issues there

Should i aim with the crosshair, or the drunk ring/square scanner marker tho?

(it wobbles back and forth)

[frail cypress]

forget the scanner. get your mining laser out, and aim with crosshair

[wintry mango]

Ah, testing

Hmm, the box icon just repops when scanning, until i have narrowed the scan to much and it disappears

[frail cypress]

try different distances, like above 5k

[wintry mango]

Tried another location, seems to have helped

[urban sky]

the asteroid belt isnt showing on my mobi glass anymore

[thorn spindle]

anyone can give me tips on getting into the aaron halo from crusader ?

[frail cypress]

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

[thorn spindle]

thank you very much

[wintry mango]

Found my first cluster with the scanning method

Seems i need greater height, or it was just that the scanning has issues with the much smaller gemrocks

[frail cypress]

yea i don't think it works the same with gems, those show up at a much closer range than rocks

[wintry mango]

Bad cluster, but proves the method works

[thorn spindle]

this map is amazing thanks so much buflak

[wintry mango]

Oh, they have made updates o the halo map

Is ring 4 still the best?

[toxic citrus]

Eh, i would rather mine on lyria

that place is full of quant

[wintry mango]

That's a different point 🙂

I meant of the rings, not that i would go back to them

[toxic citrus]

There

[grand trail]

27% of 8k and 2 other decent rocks in cluster if anyone wants it

@100k auec :p

[idle blade]

This turning into a rock trading channel? Lol

[compact basin]

rock market xd

[grand trail]

Had to try

Can't mine the 8k alone bcos forgot modules xD
