How would I mine with the Prospector?
What's your in game name as well, I'll take you in mine
thank you but I've already got one
All right
gonna need to use nicknax when i get on to find where i left it tho
My ingame name is KyraberCrystal
also I am trying to fix VOIP
okay i bought parts in Microtech but how do i transport them back to hurston?
the parts are too big for my backpack
put it in your ship
do i spawn my ship then transfer them into it?
Spawn your ship, walk into it, then transfer
Can someone teach me how to mine with the prospector?
I love when I get glitched at the landing service in new babbage with a load full of cargo, have to reply, then end up spawning in grimhex
how long do you reckon it takes for full cargo on aberdeen?
Depends on luck
About 60-90 mins but beware of the 30k. Sometimes pays to just cash up
bruh how we suppose to make money trading when we can only buy 40k - 50k worth of laranite and agricium at a time
hey, whats the best place to mine rn with a prospector?
Are you trying to mine Quantanium?
yes
Lyria for planet side or in the Halo
@bleak chasm Jesus x5
id follow that prospector question up right away, if i rent one, would i need to buy any special fit parts for it, or is it good to go stock quant mining?
@woven yarrow a rented prospector cannot be upgraded
it will break QT rocks, but make sure they’re under 4K in mass
and it will be a bit more challenging because the stock laster is not great at dealing with the instability of QT
I’ve heard the rocks in the belt are a bit better for a rented prospector (assuming you’re going solo) because they tend to be a bit smaller than on the moons, like Lyria
hope this helps
hmm okay thanks man
no problem, happy to help
from what i can tell (really working my braincells here), renting a cutty black for 3 days and an ROC seems to be a good way to make money
feels iffy spending that much credits but every way of making money in this game is currently so bugged that idk if i have any other way
aye but the prospector belt mining seems odd, alot of comments slamming that 3.17 it got harder to do belts or something, and im absolutely dreading dealing/learning those belt hand charges
Hello there
Does anyone know what's the maximum of mass that a mining lvl 1 head can handle?
any good belt mining guide for 3.17 specifically? that goes from zero to hero, not just "you know how to mine, off we go into the belt"
So mining a rock on Lyria, got it split the first time, going to break down the smaller rocks with the Mole ship
Don't even get into the green and the rocks blow up
Damaging ship leaving us stranded... wtf?
There was a video I had
It was a step by step guide.
Check YT
no luck at lyria
i heard it was nerfed
theres still quant everywhere mate
true
theyre all quantanium videos 
found an older one for laranite
qq and sorry for the possible duplicate, but does mining in a prospector make as much or more than doing high level bunkers (60k ones) ?
I've heard it takes longer but the payout at the end is larger, I'm just curious if the credits / time is similar or if it's better
a full load of quant in a prospector is like 250k give or take
how fast you find it and mine it is rng
on average i get 2 - 3 loads in a hour
with 4 buddies i suggest get that mole
if you just starting get one of those 2 man roc miners and give it a shot you can fit 2 on a connie fairly easily
Is it common to get a server disconnection while mining? I set my home to CRU L1 and rented a ROC to use with my Nomad on Daymar but I'm constantly getting disconnected and having to start over
I don't think it's the 30k error
Hey guys, doing ROC mining. Started fine but this Hadinite bunch wont even make the meter go up at 100%. Is this glitched or am i doing something wrong?
where do you mine? Currently mining in the belt between CRU-L1 and HUR-L5 and i find one about ever 30mins
In the beginning id find a 35% rock within 20 mins but last few days ive just gotten very unlucky
North and south pole on lyria
I'll try that out thank you. Any specific area or just the general area of the poles
For ROC mining, are there some small gems you cannot break? Can the ROC be upgraded other than its coolers/powerplant?
Once your at either pole go for the mountains
If your going into plains fly up find another group of mountains and go at it again
thanks appreciate it :D
is there a generally popular cargo route right now?
best ROC spot?
Hey I'm noticing that in game commodity prices aren't matching up with sc trade tools, and seem to be changing over time. Is this quanta? I was under the impression that on a first pass it would just effect refuel and repair prices
Not Quanta, just basic Supply and Demand. Locations produce/consume X amount of each trade good per hour, with a supply/demand cap of Y. These amounts are set in the game files, which SC Trade Tools has read, but the price is calculated from the base price and the current stock level, which is shared across all servers in each region.
SCTT shows either the "best case scenario" for lowest purchase and highest sale price, or the Average with midpoint prices. Not quite sure which.
There was actually a bug that killed Trading for a few versions, where every time a server crashed, it cleared the stock at every single location as "sold", so the Supply was constantly being reset to 0. Couldn't fill any decent cargo ship with anything.
Thankfully that bug is fixed now.
does it matter where on lyria i look for quant?
Sure
@jovial pasture https://sc-trade.tools/trade-routes
ik
what that is
any way to get your ship to register in the places without landing pads?
trying to do some trading but ship won't show up in the trading panel
does it 100% always not work?
Yeah, no idea when they are getting fixed
My bets are on 3.18 since it has the cargo refactor
And hopefully some trading changes
On those that work look for vertical thingy with orange lights near the top. Land with nose to it, worked for me.
For duo players, which one is more reliable; Mole or 2 prospectors (quant main)?
Two prospectors 32SCU x 2 = 64, Mole 92 SCU and a third laser for versatility. Mole more expensive though, and you both can't scout unless another vehicle is brought.
96*. Mole + scout is kinda same as two prospectors, both has pros and cons.
two prospy seems better one can mine while the other is refining. vice versa
Any ships on the cheaper end you guys recommend for running cargo
Connie Taurus/freelancer max but its still not that large so u wont make a hell of alot of profit
2 prospectors. Mole really only excels at 4 man operation and even then you'd probably be better off with 4 prospectors.
Mole makes cluster one stop, most of the times
Prospector will do same in 4ish stops)
HI i am looking for some guide on mining gear for the prospector
thank you for the tip

0.00 inert rip
press I?
U solo or with someone
That pretty highly defines which one you want to / should get
At the start at least
i've made my first million by roc mining with a rented roc and cutlass, the goal is just under 5 mil for a c2 so I can do some hauling missions. Should I buy a prospector once I become able to or stick with saving up?
Oh god
The last thing you wanna do is buy a C2 only
Cargo haulinf sucks as of now
High risk, low reward
ok what do i do lol
Does anyone know how long Lyria's day-night cycle is?
anything to do better than roc mining until then?
What do you have?
Buy
I had it but I downgraded for the better combat
So do the easy missions
just got a freelancer max to help run refined quant to the market, it has been perfect for the job
have mole and prosp, but use prosp most of the time, mole when i have a group
Fatlancer is cool
Roc mining seems more profitable
Have both, since bought mole no prospector for me
Why do i cant mine a rock, the charge lvl is always at 0 or jumps between 0-2?
(Mole, Lancetmh2)
try a server hop
Mass?
With rock at 8500 you will sit at 0)
Yeah i almost thought that
Lancet both have only 1400 power
With modules you may get 12% more
But still not 2200+
I disagree tbh. At the end its what you wanna do. I bought a C2 to haul my refined stuff and cargo hauling. Been doing cargo hauling to break the monotony of mining and try something new. IMHO its high risk, high reward. Ive just completed a route that in 10-15mins net me 100k+ which you wont get with mining unless you get really lucky. The only time I've lost cargo was because my Quantum Jump got cancelled and I had cruise speed on and crashed into a destroyed ship floating in space
I wouldn't say its "high reward" for the initial investment you need to put in fyi
true, you need an initial investment. But still you cant make 100k + in 10mins mining
Meh, i find it too risky
unless you get REALLY lucky which doesnt happen all the time
Show me the ropes sensei xD
You need a C2 and like 2 mil to get enough cargo
I would do Cargo runs, but all I have atm. is the RAFT ... and that one is literally a one-flight-pony ... because I can enter the ship once, and after that the Elevator is bugged.
I can exit through the Airlock and sell my stuff ... but I can't enter it again without storing the ship first. ... Which sadly disqualifies it for stuff you have to land multiple time 🤣
Can't wait to get an MSR ...
Oh god
Not the overpriced chess board
Probably one of the most over rated ships
Sure it's cool and all
Solo
Then prospector first
Still can't decide wheter I should get a Prospector or an ERT ship
Well
I thought mining would be boring AF, untill I started chaining BH missions
I got a cutty
mmmmm
Its doable
But you really want a max or something else fast
I know from experience
Had to sell 16 work orders one by one with a cutty 
What do you mean first
Okay cheers is it better?
If you have 2 or more people with you, yes
Keep in mind that thing costs like 2.5x the price of a prosp
MSR is a great ship just not much fire power
Too bad it doesn't work like that
Hello! Newbie to the game here. Saw a recommendation to rent a Cutty Black and a ROC and go Hadanite mining. Questions:
- Daymar or Aberdeen?
- Should I sell it at the Mining station on the planet, or haul it to a space station to sell?
- Your choice
- On a mining station
Daymar did me dirty. Had a lot more luck on Aberdeen. But it all comes down to RNG
Flip a coin for 1. or something lol
Prices are the same at the mining station and the space station, or is it the convenience that I should be after
They should be
The same i mean
275 is max price on hadanite
I find just mining any jems gave me up to 2x efficiency as it took then individually looking for hadanite
yea pembroke
What is the best mining ship?
nah
Damn
but if oyu got a connie a roc fits
Oh sweet
do you guys recommend the reliant tana?
i still suggest a nomad tho
alot easier to get that roc on
and less conni backflips
Where can I buy from please
Idk, I’d have no way of transporting it. I’d rather buy what I can use
most refinery's sell the pembroke armor
Also what is roc
have u ever been pirated on aberdeen
raw ore collector?
Ah could be yeah
not for nothing ive only been in like 4 pvp situations period
and all of those were grim hex
ah okay im currently jn daymar
wheres the nearest refinery
ive never tried daymar
lorville i get alright frames
I think it's pretty rare, right now most people get into fights at the river
refinery's are the l1 stations
cru l1 arc l1 hur l1
i think cru l5 is one too but not sure on that
a good portion of space stations sesll the pembroke armor
too
yeah u get a real mix in daymar but hadanite is a 50/50
that sounds pretty reasonable
actually i think ima stick to daymar
how much will u get per run
i get like 150k and thats mini bf every jem i see nice and quick 50min
Lucky. I've known to not find anything for 30 mins
lol
I always sell at Arial because I've had one too many encounters with red ships over the Aberdeen mining stations
is cargo hauling still viable in 3.17?
gotta hit them poles
when in doubt go north or south
Always hit the North :/
That's totally fine. I don't need or want firepower.
I want the agility and speed.
I don't mind flying full speed evasive manouvers for an hour until the pirate looses their marbles. 😆 It's actually pretty funny to waste a pirates/gankers time for a bit. 
go south next time
is asteroid mining better then surface?
check by the plains
South is OM2 right?
rng my boy
ahh
yes sir
ive had better luck in lyria but some people i know swear by the halo
yeah i always go the the halo and havent had a s much luck since 3.17 went live
In 3.16 I got at least 2 full Quant loads before I found a fitting rock on Lyria. ... but 3.17 made mining in the Halo straight up tedious beyond measure and mining on Lyria twice as easy :(
times change mang
I still give the Halo a shot once per day ... I don't like this pirate infested moon. 🤣
Sometimes funny stuff happens tho. A few days ago I saw a ship on my radar ... panick inducing ... but it was a Prospector so I thought I fly there and say hi.
And what did I find? A fellow miner who was stranded in his wrecked prospector after a rock went boom.
I went home without Quantanium but with a passenger 
Stuff like that doesn't happen in the halo. ^^
ok.....loaded 64 scu of quant from the refinery into my Max last night....retrieved the ship today.....nothing....that freaking sucks
uh... that really sucks.
I always find it confusing when you load your ship full with quant, but the cargohold has no boxes. .. despite it being actually loaded with stuff to sell. xD
so your saying......?
I'd try to fly down to the planet and sell it, even if it's not showing up in your cargohold.
Had this happen in my Freelancer and Cutty so far.
ok...will do....worth a shot anyway
My box runner, my cute little Terrapin, shows always 118 ... nor.sure if it's meters,.kilometers or miles ... just 118 
I dont think that even in Dark Souls I've died so much, lmao.
Is it in your local inventory or backpack?
local
i was able to sell my Hadanite from the local
but not my Dolivine
and i just reset my character the other day
so it aint that
hm... then it should be sellable at the admin office ... or maybe at the ore-sell terminal at a refinery?
Never sold any handmining things. xD
Did you relog?
maybe relog and Switch server?
10,000 units sold....woot! thanks...probably would have written it off to a bug
NICE!
invisible quant ftw!
Is there some trick to scan for Hadanite? Or I’ll have to check out every gem patch to see what it is?
Yep, you will pretty much have to check every single one
Gem patches seem to pop up at 4km range though
Does narrowing the radar angle do anything for gem scanning? Or only helps for quantanium (funding pairs or groups of rock)
especially at night
bro ive literally flew back the cutlass with all 4 engines missing
only problem is that it spins out past 5 speed hhaahah
call it the thrustla(e)ss
The one thing that annoys me about the Cutty is that it's tilting down at full speed and you always have to counter it. Other than that it's a great ship. ...well... and it's ugly as hell 
truer words have never been stated
Cutlass
ugly

You don't throw shade on my trashcan like that!
😆
😆 It would look decent if you replace those "wings" in the front with 2 additional engines. This would make it more stable and look less bad. xD
So what's hot for mining this patch?
ReShade with NVG preset helps a lot
also curious, any decent spots to check out?
Anyone know which trading consoles work right now? I would really appreciate it (please ping)
the classic ones on Area 18...used them myself
yes 18's work but be sure not to store your miner and put cargo (refined quant) on transport (freelancer max) then proceed to fly your miner (prospector) to area 18 to sell your quant. i may be speaking from experience.....thought console was broke, but it was user error
oh sorry guys i forgot to mention i meant for trading like with for example the orphanage
someone can help mining quantanium on lyria?
you mean the illegal stuff like Slam?
no like laranite medical supplies
ohhh
this stuff
well i didnt test them myself
thats the problem almost none of them detect my ship so i cant buy it
but i dont know any kind of bug ot somthing else
Also pretty sure orphanage doesn't detect your ship
Yeah was just gonna say
so were can i buy and sell stuff or is there a workaround?
thats weird i had that problem only by trading slam
Nope
0 work arounds
Gotta use legal installations
do none of them work or is it just some outposts
Those without pads don't work
can i look up which ones have landing pads?
You can buy laranite on mining facilities
yep
so its really not profitable rn
how to get rid of rented ships going - time
It is
do we know why the npcs drop their multitools? kinda wish you could sell em for more than 0
where should i sell it for best results?
well i have seen it and arccorp and its an awful long trip to there cuz of the train you know
what would you say is the best trading route
every big city has a tdd iirc?
well i dont know if u can remove the abo if u bought it like for example for 3 days
Except orison
and what material should i transport
im not too knowledgeable on orison. when i last played it didnt exist
Laranite/titanium
and for trading route?
no like its going like -22 hours
Choose either on arccorp or hurston
Nope, theres a glitch with the rented ships rn
They go to - time
so from arccorp to hurston?
No
Either arccorp or hurston
Theres 2 main routes that are good
any exact locations from where to where
Shubing mining facilities on, Lyria, ArcCorp and sell to area 18 TDD and HDMS-Bezdek and HDMS-Lathan on Arial, Hurston
many thanks really appreciate it :)
Specifically these 2 on Lyria
Actually Skegg... https://fleetyards.net/stations/orison/shops/trade-development-division/

Since fucking when
Can't really tell, can check
Was browsing through Patch notes, didn't see any special mention, maybe it exists from the start 🤷♂️
is cargo hauling still a viable thing in 3.17?
For me it's been a mixed bag. I've made lots of dough on some days and lost a lot on other days due mainly to server/software crashes while in the middle of trading which lead to me losing my ship(s) and cargo
Last loss was so heavy that Im considering not doing any trading until 3.17.1 in the hope that it will be more stable...
You can only recover from 30k and not a crash, right?
What's the website for trade goods and prices? Making a run to ArcCorp and want to see if I can score some bonus profit
can someome help me crack a quananium rock on lyria?
aaa that really sucks i always hated it when that happend in ed
Need help building my mole I just got. This is what I’m thinking for a quant specific build:
:
:
MIDDLE LASER = Helix II with : 2x Vaux-C3 Module and Surge Consumable (total -40% Instability good for Quant and Surge for Solo runs on 8k rocks) or maybe just another Vaux and no surge?
2x Side Laser = Lancet MH2 with : 3x FLTR XL Module(-60% Inert Material intake)
Propulsion: XL-1(military grade A)
Shields: 1x FR 76(military grade A, fast recharge) 1x Rampart(Industrial grade A, more health)
Power: Either a Durango(Industrial grade A) or a QuadraCell MT (Military grade A)
Cooling: Chill-Max(Industrial grade A)
Stats SHOULD be with all 3 lasers active = -60% Inert Material Intake; -160% Resistance; -180% Instability
Or maybe a Rieger instead of surge on middle
The build has the two other lasers pretty much entirely as support & extraction
Hello. How can I stop my ship moving in the Aaron Halo? Tried with Throttle at 0% / Toggle VTOL/Coupled/Uncoupled everything, but still keeps moving very slowly (0.01ms) while mining
Are your thrusters damaged at all?
And you didn’t happen to press C did you? XD
no at all
not using cruise speed
where do i go to sell the cargo i just bought
Are you in coupled or decoupled?
What kind of cargo
Usually anywhere with an admin office
scrap 
Lolol
can i sell at stations or does it have to be a planet?
That’s… Hurston right? Try HUR-L1
Wait you bought the cargo at Lorville?
Usually major cities have the highest prices
You might make nothing on that
coupled

People usually sell TO major cities because they have the highest prices
lol it’s better to go to mining facilities and buy from them then sell that at a port or station
I’d use this. And avoid drug runs.
It’ll give you recommended routes. Where to pickup what, where to drop off, estimated earnings per run depending.
the Hull A aint on the site for some reason
How much SCU does it carry? Just pick something with a similar amount
8k
Wut
i have no idea
SCU storage is in the double digits or triple digits
One sec I’ll look it up
Ok it holds 64 SCU
"Stanton seems popular" No shit, it's the only system 

Yeah, happens
Hello I bought some cargo and crashed
does everus have a trade terminal?
rip the cargo
Yes
Its gone?
Just select the Freelancer (base edition) it holds 66 but you can just buy what you can.
Unless you have someone sitting in your ship with you
But i crashed my ship
unless
Either way
Well i have no money now lol ima get 50k
Lol
Its gone
And it didnt go
Which one crashed
But the ship crashed it went
Wait you said you crashed your ship
You crashe the ship or game crashed
Both
I crashed the game twice
Nice lmao

You running a hard drive or SSD? Feel like all my buddies that use hard drives crash 50x more than me
Reason no. 7462836527 why to not do trading
Lolol
is the greycat armor only available on Orison?
Wait but if you have a buddy sitting in your ship then you can rejoin on him and your ship won’t despawn
finna grind the research out posts
They don't
Nowadays? You should always have one lol
Nah chief
Moneys won’t be lost
I’m saying for people who do crash easily lol
Aka people still using spinning disks
Harr drive sadly but im gonna switch to ssd real soon but will i lose everything?
Sucks to be those people
Oh god 
No it’s all stored on the server
Lol
A hard drive user
Oh ok good thanks
Buddy of mine crashed regularly but his favorite thing was cargo runs. He lost 2mil in 1 day with 2 crashes lol. 1.3mil on first and 700,000 on second.
Btw is trading profitable enough to have money for a prospector using a drake cutlass black?
No lmfao
Then what is?
For actual good trading you want at least a freelancer max bro
Just go rent a prospector for a day, mine literally 1 full amount of quant, and that’s 288,000 right there
How much is that?
No upgardes rho
Tho*
Doesn’t matter
You can still hit those smaller quant rocks
More than the prospecter
How much does it cost to rent
50,000
like 50k
But if you don’t blow it up you’ll keep it forever if you’re flying it when the timer runs out
Just 2
Really?
Yep
And can i transport it with the cuttybkack
“Forever” being relative
The ore
oh nice didnt know that bug was still in the game 
Yep lol
You can transport the refined ore.
And how long does it take to mine that much quantem
Oh ok
Is the cutlass enough storage?
yes, cutlass/prospector is the two ships I own and what I use to make money
You mine it and transport it with the prospector, go to a refinery, hit refine, move the refined ore to your cutty, then go sell it at area18 or whatever
How much money so you make in an hour?
I just made 500,000 yesterday in an hour
bruh
Bruh
i can mine better than i can cargo
Yep
aEUC?
once you know what you're doing you can do a quant run in like, 30min? but then you have to refine
Yes
wheres the trade terminal on everus?
One full load of quantum (32SCU) in the prospector refined nets around 288,000
bruh
Admin
im at lost and found i think
Rented prospectors aren’t as good because you can’t change the loadout but they’ll still do in a pinch
Go to the elevators and go to the second floor
But since everything is yellow its hard to find
It’s 1 word I forgot it’s name
I think admin is up the stairs after that
On the right
anyone have some juicy trade routes?
In an orange room
Get a boremax mining gadget if renting, hell it’s good to have one on hand generally
IT WASNT IN ADMIN ITS IN A ROOM RREE
Jump town
Hey I've bought a prospector and upgraded it all but I have no idea what to do or where to go or how so would anyone be willing to show me the ropes?
(I can listen but have no mic)
Go to Lyria
What u want to sell
Drop off at one of the L1’s nearby
No no I get that I mean actually doing it
The mining part?
Kinda I guess yea
no wonder i cant sell, it wiped my cargo because the game bugged out and made me claim my ship again
Have you never been to prison in the game yet?
YouTube quant mining 3.17 for a guide
wait what mining ship do you have?
Not if it’s a 3.17 guide
Argo Mole Talus
There’s dozens of up to date guides
wanna mine together? there do 3 mining lasers on the mole
Lol you can join a friend and I for a set payment. It won’t be an even split. He and I are saving for Ares ships rn.
That hits close to home
^
If you want to learn mining what is best to rent?
That’s not tax. It’s an opportunity fee. If he wants to come, he will get paid a bit less for now.
XD
Prospector and mole are the only 2 options lol
Taxes.....
There’s only 2 mining ships
Lol im not charging him. Just paying less.
How much they r to rent
Ohhhh
I thought you meant you were charging him to be on your ship
i dont mind at all, i just like mining, its satisfying sometimes, ive only done it once with someone but got a bunch of quant for them
I've never done it but always wanted to
50,000 for prospector for a day and for the mole I don’t think it’s able to be rented
its so fun, just point and mine, then RNG it back to the nearest mining station/facility
41k for renting the prospector is the old cost
Yeah doing that on Wednesday, seems nice way to try
im assuming your ingame name is same as your disc?
Yea? I bought a prospector but I'm too scared/bored to do it alone
the thing is with the prospect, if i were to join you i couldn't mine since its a single person mining ship
@void scarab excelent i dint ask for a page
I mean like with one perosn in each of there own
oooh, i would if i had a prospector but i dont have the funds to rent one
yeah
i sent a FR, my names the same as my ingame as well
does your friend mind if i join you? i dont wanna interupt anything
Yeah thats fine. But im not actually mining rn. My buddy doesnt get on for another hour then we will. Rn im just going to be buying some mining equipment but youre welcome to join if you really want to.
yeah thats fine, it gives me enough time to remember how to mine lol ive only done it once
alright haha
i did fine a 44% quant rock once with a 3855 mass, though the rock destablised fast and we lost 2 shields from it exploding
*find
nice nice
i may have to join you off when you go in game, for some reason party launch makes my game bug out and infinite load
guys were can i buy mining equipment ?
np
at a refinery
So whatsup with the low amount of bunker missions
@spiral charm but witch planet ?
doesnt have to be a planet
go somewhere that ends in L1
Oh
Did you have stock shields?
quant blows up everything
I don't understand. I've been told by some people to buy palisade shields for it then some people tell me not to buy any shileds and just leave it stock
it was someone elses raft but quant blows up all the time if your not careful
Makes me wanna do it even less 👍
you have 15 mins after mining it to get to a station and store it
if you dont, then prepare for a nuke
That's like no time at all
Ima die
Its fine if you know where the nearest station is
Can you sell directly from your ship @ trading desk?
yes
no
Loot needs to be sold manually
you have to go to the store that sells that stuff
So if I mine at lyria where is that?
Cargo can be sold at trade terminals
So if you loot 10 guns
armour goes to the armour store etc
no
I have no clue to be honest, ARC L1 is where me and another guy went to
So how than?
I think that's the one that follows accorp right
huh
Lyria is arc moon?
If i have like 10 guns in my ship how to sell them easiest
go to the gun shop
whatever yours may be called
and select from ship
then sell
ez
What missions does Runner tier get you?
I wanted to QT to the halo and log out to get some food ... but when you drop out literally 100m from a good enough rock ... XD


I am doing Red Wind delivery missions, what do all the tiers get you?
The best tier gives you 45K aUEC and loot. (with a little FPS-Combat)
Other than that it's only 8 and 15K missions (not sure tho, just logged out)
there is no mining type missions or anything like that right?
Where is the best place to mine with an ROC??
aberdeen
thx
Hehe, Was about to ask if aberdeen is still best place for ROC mining... I guess it is. Is it now more populate with rocks or smthing?
has the most hadenite
Yea i know. But i heard that 3.17. is great for ROC minig... So i wonder why is it better now. Beside the fact that scooping is fixed.
If on planets is more minable rocks or richer deposits or smthing like that.
watch out for 30k and loosing all your hadanite, cash in quick
I lost 4 full loads of hadenite all in row because of 30ks and crashes 🙂
Space brakes do NOT work
I am new to the game... So i dont know how it was in other patches. But i hate 3.17 😂 so much worse and more bugged than 3.16 was 😂
You have to enable the setting
@simple horizon they do work, you just need activate "boost option" while space brake.
Under game settings - Flight - Spacebrake Engages Boost
Gah im all the way ARC L1 now
I failed the contract because of the fucking spacebreak
The real scanning minigame is the search for a stable server :U
hello
Trust me bro got logged out 2 times 2 half ROC’s lost i was about to fucking lose it and quit
guys what should i do to break like 7k mass rocks with my prospector
Surge modules
like
mining modules?
cause im at the refinery shop i dont see a category called surge modules
They’re for your Lancet. I have not used them yet. Watch this vid. Part 3 of the vid talks about quant mining in the prospector

thank you bro
im a new player and im interested in cargo, whats the best cargo ship to start with except from the cutty?
If you want a Cargo ship to start with, there's only the Cutty and the Freelancer. MAYBE if your wallet sits very loose the Freelancer MAX, which is the best "Cheap" Cargo hauler.
Edit: The RAFT is also nice, but right now pretty bugged
ty
I went from cutty to constellation taurus. 👍 check that one too.
i just spent 1h+ ROC mining and i made like 22k
didnt even cover my rental expenses
what is this joke
when is the expanse due to be in the game
Soon
Where were u mining?
@north oyster @marble crater @sacred loom
no clue what the truth is in 3.17 for ROC mining
i always go to aberdeen i guess your just werent as lucky everytime i go i make at least close to 100k a hr
so like 3 guides, all 3.17:
- The minerals youre looking for will appear under you suddenly when scanning at less than 1000m
- They will appear at less than 2000m
- You can always see them, but you need to get close to see if their icon turns into your minerals or a big stone
what even is reality...
does anyone know?
Rip
here's what I do I stick close to the surface and any markers that's at least 6k meters I check those out anything farther out is usually a ore rock and I don't go faster than 300 at a time and I'm able to find them pretty quick
thats what ive been doing and it works for me
i followed the first guide i saw right now, i only approached signatures that appeared under me suddenly at less than 1000/1500 meters
i guess i was doing it wrong? idk..
6k sometimes works for me but other than that they do show up around 1k-1.5k you just gotta make sure you dont go to fast and you dont let the gem symbol pop up
i only got like 2 or 3 rock clusters of hadanite
skipped most of them because they gave fuckall minerals
as opposed to videos finding like 9 rock clusters and stuff
if you want i got nothing to do i can be your pilot for ya and fly around and try to find some for ya
ah nah all g im going to sleep haha, bless you for helping and advice, im just a little frustrated, mainly due to every guide being different and ending up oddly wasting my time a bit
And this is why im silently working on a master guide to clarify this mess and unify advice(among other things). But this small text indicating a lot of work may never get posted. Depends on how I feel.
kewl
are the salvage places the ones that are bugged?
i.e. samson & sopns' salvage center on Wala?
before I go there for this trip.
Aight hear me out cause I'm new to this shit. On the Arrow, would it be worth it to put 2x s1 distortion repeaters on the top turret, and replace my 2x s2 gimballed weapons with fixed s3 repeaters, and run the gameplan of disabling my opponent with the gimbaling turret to make it easier to blast them with the fixed loadout?

I can't imagine I'm the first person to have this idea
try it, but distortions aren't in a very good place in this patch
they don't disable like a charm as they used to in the previous patch, so i'd suggest keeping lasers on the top turret
Howdy boss, what's up? I see the ping
OKAY REALLY
Why do I have to claim it
I'm at SMCa-6
I just stored it here
And filled it with cargo...
I've heard of this happening a fair bit, might want to check IC to see if any others are having this same problem
I'm gonna relog
I can't afford to lose this money
80% of my money in that cargo...
Wait, you're at an outpost and you stowed the ship?!?!
that looks like a platium bay building and pad
yeah
Shubin SMCa-6
I assumed they would yell at me since they assigned me a landing bay

sorry
had a typo
Oh, cool! I look forward to see that
would be so great if people had any way of knowing this before it happened
so is my money all gone'?
Sorry Luckayla
cool
guess it's time to cut my losses and give up on this then
I'm going to fly my 300i over there and try to retrieve it on another server
What's your in-game SC handle? How much did you have invested?
you will need someone to come get you at the outpost. There is only a small number of ships that spawn there
I'm at CRU-L5 since I relogged
I claimed my 300i and I'm waiting for it
what did you have in the cargo? And how much aUEC?
Not to bad, I lost 800k when my C2 randomly blew up 💥
so i loaded up a cutty black with my refined ores now where do i fly to, to sell them?
TDD A18
so is the ship completely dead if i mess up mining?
my ship shut down cause i was in the red and wont turn back on
yea i think so
try to get a ride or just kill your self
It’s where u sell ya stuff @plucky pollen
i dont wanna leave the nice rock!
so do i just land at area 18 and store my ship or do i not store my ship?
U have to store it
and once im there where do i goto sell it at? the blue trade computers
is there absolutely no way to recover the ship?
No the big building with TDD on it
ive tried and havent found a way
rip
when i land will i see it?
took me an hour to find a big nice rock
ive never been to A18 before
Catch the train the the business hub
Go to the huge orb and it’s on the right
If u fly to OM6 the spaceport is right below you
im at arc l1 right now
ok thank you
The spaceport is a huge flat platform. Might wana google wat it looks like if u never been there
its ok ill look around
Sweet, best of luck
are you still at that rock?
Nope
@sacred loomdo i have to sell different ore to different cities? or are the sell prices all the same
like is it a major differance
price commodities I think its called
Perhaps, i sell everything at A18 cos its close to my mining set up
do you sell quantium too?
yes, at TDD A18
ok ill just continue here cause its close
You can check if u want the optimum price
U wont make huge money from a load out of Cutty Black tho
i couldnt find it in the mobiglass
Theres a list in the last tab or something of all the variable prices
cant remember @north oyster might know?
what ship should i be using i was gonna buy the Hull A during fleet week
Whatt is Hull A's SCu capacity?. You need something large like a C2 or CAT to make good money, But you also need to invest alot of capitol
Otherwise A connie or Freelancer Max has some space
the hull A has more space than the freelancer max
Ok. I use a C2
so
what's the link that shows where you can sell items to what shops?
i basically spend 800k to make 130k
should my delivery runs be 100% qt? cause ive just been refining what ever else i get with the qt
where can you load your ground vehicle up?
i dont see any place to get my ground vehicle on microTech
its in the commons area
can i load it up into my ship there?
I dont go for less than 30% Qt myself unless I have been looking for a long time
yea fly your ship over to the area then pull your land car
look for surface enterance/exit i think
Only refine the Qt man. ferron or dynx method
where is this common area btw?
ok
ik theres a place that called the common in microTech but theres no ground vehicle spawning
@sacred loom so should i only be mining qt or is there other stuff too?
there is a place you can go in the coomons called surface elevators or something and from there you can pull a car and there is a huge area you can land a ship so you can load it inot it
below the hanger?
are you in the commons right now?
no im hovering over new babbage
u can mine hadanite and other things, far less profitable tho. But is stable
are you able to share your screen if we join i vc? i can try to guide you@lofty junco
anyone else get an issue where the roc just looses power?
whts the best places to mine hadanite with ROC
Aberdeen. need a penbroke suit and food/fluids
alright, thank you im try and get full ROC load of hadanite if i put my brain to it
where ijs a good place for roc mining? can't hardly find stuff on ita
wht are you wanting to mine?
^ hadanite
What's the beat mining gadget for Quant rocks?
I like mining hadanite on dymar. dont need a suit and last few times I hit Aberdeen/Arial either all the nodes were spawned under static terrain or some shady folks were skulking about trying either scam or kill me
Is quant still invisible as cargo bc i loaded up my connie and i see like 2 cargo boxes as crystalline material and nothing else
where can i find the halo cause i dont see it on my map
astroid belt?
So myu buddy just bought a mole - we have no idea what we are doing, what do we do lol
How's trading in this update?
Hey I've bought a prospector and upgraded it all but I have no idea what to do or where to go or how so would anyone be willing to show me the ropes?
(I can listen but have no mic)
@devout comet my pdf goes over a bit
i can send ya a couple videos too

this will def help
I've watched a while guide series but I kinda just want someone to be there with me like in another ship and atuff
can i mine wit sum 1
It is damaged. For some reason they take damage over time.
Prob wear and tear
yo anyone got any good hauling routes rn
FLTR-XL worth using for quant?
To scan rocks, I just need to get into scanning mode (V) and LMB on the rock?
very sad a 30k took my 3 fltr-xl's from me 😦
Yep.
Usually not if you are able to separate the quant well
thanks, whats the current go to set up for prospector mining? stampede and surge?
Yeap
If you go for 20% quant rocks without too much mass you can get away with just a decent head :p
And any gadgets you want to
Not with a 7k mass
Yeah, 2-4k is max from what I've experienced
Only?
ive pulled up to 5.2k with a lancet
5.1 mass is known 100% max for lancet without surge. More of that possible, but problematic.
Lancet without modules but with a gadget like boremax for example can do around 6.5k mass rocks
That -75% resistance is super nice
what about the other ones?
Well you can use them
But for lancet rest aren't great
Since a lot of them add a debuff for eithet instab or optimal window
the one stabir or w/e its called increases stability for quant rocks, it helped a bit for me
Closest place to ARC L1 to get surge modules, guessing 18?
I couldn't find them
