[river cove]

I have the pambrock for some reason lol

[north oyster]

If you are a subscriber, then that was one of the month's specials

[river cove]

@north oysterya that why

what % you rekon I should look dymonds and gold in a rock?

[north oyster]

Anything above 20%, but obviously the higher the better. Laranite is also great, so if you can find decent rocks of that, it would be good. Nice thing is that the rental can crack larger rocks in the Halo than it can on a moon surface

Bexalite is worth about half of Quan and is the 2nd most valuable ore

Harvest every ore you find but Aluminium, Quartz and Corundum isn't worth anything really.

This should help

[river cove]

cool thanks ahahaha yay quantium 3.5 % LOL

bhaaa

[north oyster]

I couldn't find anything over 10% today, just bad rolls for me. Normally not that much of a problem.

After the rental is over, I would encourage you try ROC mining. it got some love this patch. Finding gems is way easier.

ProTip QT to OM-1 and dive down to the surface (after you get your ROC loaded). It is always daylight under OM-1

[mossy radish]

scaning isnt working for me...

[north oyster]

it works, but it works differently

[tacit otter]

I am pissed off

Ive had two ROCs die simultaneously due to coolers
And Ive had 2 30ks

one I recovered from but it wiped all of the cargo in my ROC after hours of mining
now the second I crashed after pushing the container that had all the hadanite in it out of my ship at the outpost

[mossy radish]

using the new method with alt scroll wheel. i messed up so nvm

[north oyster]

I change out my ROC after a trip or two. It fails if you keep using it

[north oyster]

I never use that method, I have a different technique

[tacit otter]

It was a single trip

[mossy radish]

do tell

[river cove]

ah ffs my scanner stop working

[north oyster]

The new Ping for large deposits seems to vanish when you are closer than 2.4k meters from them. However, Gem deposits get picked up at 2.2K (or further) and continue to return a signal when you are pinging

[north oyster]

Use Mining mode to scan the rocks

[river cove]

@north oysterI do it stop scanning now

[north oyster]

Scanner still messed up in these builds

[north oyster]

Most all pings that are active under 2,200 meters to the ship are 90% gems

[river cove]

shit nothging:(

[mossy radish]

ah okay that makes sense

[tacit otter]

I found today that gems would only show up as a signal around 4-5k at most while turning into gems around 400-600m
and large rocks would show up around 6-8k and stay signals until around 1400m

[river cove]

ok this is not good I'm so disapointed 😦

Ill log out from the bed

[mossy radish]

if i get a singal 41.4km chances are that it is a ship right?

[river cove]

ok works now

any tip to set the boromax?

[mossy radish]

im using the scanning and so far i cant find groups of quant

[winter mica]

how much does it usually cost to start up mining?

like which mods do I get for the ship laser or does it just depend on what I am mining

[north oyster]

I've had a little different experience but that makes sense. I don't look for the icons to determine my route, it is the characteristics of the ping return.

ALSO be sure to stock your ship with plenty of Water and Food

the DECAY rate for thirst and hunger is STUPID FAST

[north oyster]

Most certainly or bug, most likely a ship

A C2 or large ship probably

[tacit otter]

well

heres hoping

maybe maybe maybe

[thin escarp]

@mossy radish i have a video posted if ur mining in a prospector or mole

@winter mica i have a pdf pinned in this channel. but generally its around 2.2 mil

for a prospector and kitting it out properly

[storm scaffold]

can someone help me quick mine a rock on lyria

[winter mica]

oh ok I'll look at that ty

[weak hound]

Need a scout, willing to pay immediately

25 percent, possibly 30+ depending on quality

[feral totem]

When you say “show up”, did u mean the box icon? And then the box resolves to a diamond (for gems) at 400-600m, and resolves to a rock at 1400m for normal ore?

[coral juniper]

i have 2.8m i have a black cutty what should i do next im thinking investing in prospector and buy parts etc also people said mining parts you lose when you explode is that like the drill and the one that give powers?

[tacit otter]

yes

[tacit otter]

You dont lose the ship components
You lose the modules, which are consumable items

[coral juniper]

but you wouldnt lose like a mining head or hyperdrive right and so should i do that and get a prospector

[civic inlet]

quick question how much is 10scu of Quant with after you refine it?

[tacit otter]

yes

[coral juniper]

yes to both? k thanks ill start that tmr

[tacit otter]

yes

[weak hound]

8800 AUEC

Give or take a bit

[civic inlet]

what I thought it was worth way more than that

[weak hound]

10 SCU

Wait one sec

I told you wrong

83600, after refining cost, you make 71,600 in profit

[civic inlet]

ohhhhhh

I thought I spent like 30 minutes for nothing

[weak hound]

XD

If you want to join, I'll invite you to join my Mole

[civic inlet]

na I'm good thanks

[weak hound]

Ok

[floral notch]

Are there no rocks at MIC L1?

[boreal venture]

hey all, this question has prob been answer im looking to start playing star citizen but only really want to mining and thats all aspects of mining.. does anyone recommend a starter pack that will set me in the right direction thats under 100$ aud?

[little pendant]

I just upgraded my Mustang Alpha to a Nomad and that's the smallest ship that will fit a ROC in the cargo hold. I'm enjoying it so far but a cutlass black would give you more space

[boreal venture]

how long did it take u to upgrade to it? i was thinking of getting the alpha or the titan just to keep it under 100$ and hand mine my way to the nomad or cutlass black. it will prob take me ages :S

[red path]

Are you not supposed to belt mine now?

[deep vector]

Works fine

[red path]

Oh okay

how do you...get to th em?

We went to like the diff Lagrange points but couldn't find rocks

[silk ridge]

The belt isn't at the L Points xD

Check the pins. There are links how to get there

Meta in the belt has also changed a bit.

Here's how I do it. maybe the otheres have more tips.

[weak hound]

Anyone need a scout?

[thorny pendant]

Yo my quant miners, question: Do the Stampede and Surge Modules lose durability/break? I see Hawkes buys multiple of 'em in his video and was curious as to why.

[upper fox]

Hey all. Can you only put 1 mining gadget on a rock? And if multiple, does same type effects stack, or is this only effective when using gadgets of different types?

[median smelt]

So I've got a whole bunch of Dolvine and I'm at CRU-L1 trying to sell it

I've got no option in the terminal for location to sell it

[rotund prairie]

what is a fair price for a prospector miner to pay a scout?

[real axle]

Yeah there’s active modules and passive modules. The active modules have a limited amount of uses. So I always stock up on Surges and Stampedes whenever I’m in HUR L1, then move it all to ARC L1

[thorny pendant]

Thanks!

[bronze compass]

You can always join people on multicrew mining ship and share the profits

[thin escarp]

^

i always am lookin for more crew.

i run some huge mining operations and need bodies 😄

[tulip roost]

Free bodies in the bunker near you. All you need is a tractor beam and some sort of gun.

[deep vector]

Do those run mole turrets?

[tulip roost]

Depends on how intimidating you are

[deep vector]

Mmmm kinky

It was like I woke up in prison. Then woke up again, next to my own dead body

Naked of course

[tulip roost]

Average friday for a Drake pilot

[deep vector]

I was flying cutty red so it’s true

[toxic citrus]

[deep vector]

Ask game

[toxic citrus]

What do you mean "of course"

Bro is you fucking with corpses?

[deep vector]

Dead body didn’t gave me spare prison gear

[deep vector]

Ew

Eeeew

Eeeeeeew

You’re sick

[toxic citrus]

That's what you were implying

[deep vector]

^ that what’s I was implying

[toxic citrus]

Right

[deep vector]

You’re sick minded

Jk of course

[toxic citrus]

As usual

[fast narwhal]

I heard roc mining is better than prospector mining

Is there any truth to that?

I can't mine quant with my rental prospector so I average 20-25K hauls but I heard a full roc with hadanite is like 200K

[toxic citrus]

Depends on your luck

Quant has to be found first, which is rarer than hadanite

and then refined etc..

[fast narwhal]

Can't even mine quant with my rental prosp

[toxic citrus]

Yep

[fast narwhal]

What's an average Roc haul like?

[toxic citrus]

200k+ in an hour or 2

[fast narwhal]

I have a cutty black now, if I do get a roc I'll probably just fill the roc, then transfer into the cutty and continue

[toxic citrus]

If you are lucky enough to find hadanite rocks

[obtuse sierra]

i haven't done it so others might have a better idea, but I feel half the earnings from each rock they find to mine, if you're willing to do a little math

that way the money they make is based on their performance

[teal wing]

Hadanite hauls are good but I've mostly just been mining salt recently with the 30Ks

[marble crater]

mined alot of salt myself in SC lol

[hollow sedge]

Can 2 roc fit in a valkyrie?

[stable moth]

So guys, I've just rented a Cutlas Black to haul my Refined quant

I collected it and stored it in the ship but when I went to get the ship the cargo was on "0"

And when I retrieved it it was ofc. empty

Where did my Quant go?

Is there sum kind of bug with it?

[hollow sedge]

Might have accidentally put into another ship? I've done this

[stable moth]

I only have like 3 ships. All empty

[thorn spindle]

did you claim it at all ?

[hollow sedge]

That sucks

[stable moth]

I rented it, claimed it, went to refinery to collect the refined quant, chose the cutlas as the location and when I went to bring it out, it was empty

[thorn spindle]

theres no physical loot

you just go to the trade computer

in a city

[stable moth]

Right, but it said it was on "0", the cargo

On the screen

Before I pulled it out

[thorn spindle]

if you claimed it at anypoint after fillig it with the quant its gonna be gone

[stable moth]

I did not do that

[thorn spindle]

if not then that sounds like a bug

[hollow sedge]

The cutlass does not show loads

?

[stable moth]

I claimed it first because you cant put stuff in it unless you claim it first

So I couldn't have made that mistake unless I had claimed it from a different station

[thorn spindle]

did you try a few different trade terminals?

sometimes you can have a crappy terminal

[stable moth]

I never went to a trade terminal

[hollow sedge]

For shits and giggles log out and close launcher then log back in and go try and sell..like bang said could be a bug..servers been on the fritz lately

[stable moth]

Cuz the ship had "0" cargo

[thorn spindle]

are you checking the cargo through a terminal at all ?

if not then go to a trade terminal and see if its there

[hollow sedge]

Said zero at ship terminal?..I see that alot but I still see the load in the ship

[stable moth]

Yeah, and that is what cunfused med

As there was no physical loot nor anything on terminal

[thorn spindle]

ive never seen a load in my taurus unless its at a trade terminal

[stable moth]

When hauling cargo you should be able to see the cargo when opening the ship ramp

[hollow sedge]

I'd just go to a terminal and try and sell..if that doesn't work..get back out there and grind

[stable moth]

At least I see it when trading

[stable moth]

Yeah well. I have 107 aUEC xD

[marble crater]

Quant and several other commodities doesn't have physical cargo boxes yet. have to wait for Cargo Refactor Patch

[stable moth]

AIght thx

That is good actually

[hollow sedge]

In the c2 the quant shows boxes

[stable moth]

Cuz then it could just be a visual bug on the terminal

[marble crater]

only way to really tell is at a Trade Terminal

[stable moth]

Is there a trade terminal at Arc-l1 at all?

Where I can check

[thorn spindle]

main cities

[stable moth]

Or do I have to go somewhere else to test it

[stable moth]

I thought so 😦

hehe

[thorn spindle]

you can sell hand mineables and raw ores there

but that refined needs to go to cities

[marble crater]

if you loaded it in at the refinery it should be there. just go to A18 TDD

[stable moth]

That was my plan but thought I had lost my cargo when it said "0" cargo on the ship terminal

[hollow sedge]

https://sc-trade.tools/home

[marble crater]

Ship Terminal doesn't give you accurate info

[stable moth]

Aight, well. Appreciate the help. Just crossing my fingers I didn't lose it then

[hollow sedge]

Just watched video..4 roc can fit in valkyrie 👍

[stable moth]

Update on my problem: I had all my Quant in the ship despite it saying I had nothing 🙂

[silk ridge]

Always try to sell, even if the terminal or even a look into your cargo bay tell you it's empty. Can't trust the terminal or your eyes

[gentle acorn]

Do mining gadgets actually work or useless?

[toxic citrus]

They work

[gentle acorn]

Didnt notice much difference with Boremax. Does it have to be calibrated at 100% ?

[high wren]

for some rocks they are indispensable

[high wren]

over 90 has worked for me but i just started with these a week ago, so still learning myself

[clever dawn]

So i have been minig hadinite on a certain planet

its been netting me arround 200K per 30 minutes

is this considered a high payout with mining

Or should i consider other options?

[gentle acorn]

It's good enough tbh

[clever dawn]

There wont be another wipe untill 4.0 probably

[gentle acorn]

As long as the payout is stable

[clever dawn]

its very stable

You fly around on the planet boosting and you can find alot of crystal depos

[gentle acorn]

I just recently started mining quant and it's paying off really well. Just takes time to refine of course

[clever dawn]

What does the payout look like

Lets consider the refining to be instant

[gentle acorn]

One cargo is around 200k at least

[clever dawn]

One prospector

[gentle acorn]

Yeah

[clever dawn]

How long does it take you to load it up

[gentle acorn]

5-10 min

[clever dawn]

Hmmm

[gentle acorn]

Im just getting better at finding quant

[clever dawn]

I upgraded my prospector for a connie andromeda

Since i want something that can do more than mine

am already at 700K now

How expensive you recon a prospt is?

[gentle acorn]

One thing that slows me down is the QD. Takes a while to boot

2.2-2.3mil with all the things to start mining

[clever dawn]

I think i can get there EZ with hadanite mining, and then i have 2 things to mine

If only the MOLE has a space for a ROC

@gentle acorn Compared to bunkers is it more profitable?

I really want a 600i c:

[gentle acorn]

If you are consistent with loot in bunkers. You may do that. I wasnt that lucky

[silk ridge]

They work? I tried The BoreThingy on several 6-6.5K rocks and wasn't able to crack them without active modules. There was no difference between gadget and no gadget. .... must have done something wrong...

[gentle acorn]

Im in the same boat with gadgets lol

[silk ridge]

Ive seen people crack crazy large Rocks with them ... but for me they don't seem to work xD

[toxic citrus]

I've been using a boremax for a while

Its super useful

[silk ridge]

I went back to the halo for half an hour and got myself 2 Full prospector loads ... Guess it's just Lyria. ... This moon just hates me

After 3.17 I thought I'd be kinda forced to go to Lyria, but I got a method down for the Halo that works perfectly and much more efficient than before.

[toxic citrus]

Meh

I keep finding clumps i cant even fucking scan

Was kinda forced to change to lyria

[jovial pasture]

what utillty should i have on my lancet head on the prospector

[vivid magnet]

I have a question for the new cargo refractor coming up in 3.18.

This brings physicalized loading and unloading of cargo. So could you have a friend transport the cargo for you? Maybe you have a freelancer, but you want to ship more cargo at a time, so you call your friend with a caterpillar or a C2, who transports it for you.

You follow along with your own load of cargo, and your friend can hover around the station, or outpost for you to unload and sell cargo

[knotty kiln]

Hey. There several rocks, which is marked with a blue rock icon on my hud after ping, but then I cannt scan it, because its like not even a minable rock. What am I missing here?

[silk ridge]

how exactly do you work in the Halo?

I had to change my meta for the Halo quiet a bit to make it even more efficient.than before.

[vivid magnet]

It happens to me as well. I'll get up real close, and it doesn't let me scan the rock for mining mode

The laser doesn't affect it either

[knotty kiln]

is this a bug?

[vivid magnet]

Most likely, it's star citizen

[knotty kiln]

I found a whole rock cluster and I cant do anything with any of the pieces

[silk ridge]

I don't think it's a bug. I'm relatively sure that the unscannables in the halo are there to keep the balance of Risk/Reward.

On Lyria you have the planet surface and pirates, but bigger rocks and easier scanning.

In the halo you have alot of unscannables but Literally no risk at all.

[vivid magnet]

Not unscannable like it doesn't show a rock symbol

these ones will show the rock symbol that they're mineable

but the mining scanner doesn't recognize it

[knotty kiln]

the ping picks those rocks up

exactly

[silk ridge]

The rock symbol just tells you the possibility of something mineable.

Doesn't really matter in the end, since there's koads and loads of Quantanium.rocks in the Halo :)

[vivid magnet]

you can find quantanium asteroids in the belt around yela

saves time going to the hurston lagaranian point

[silk ridge]

I mine in Halo band 3/4 sonce 3.17 and never need more than 10 minutes to find a rock or cluster with at least 20scu of quantanium

[knotty kiln]

I donno man, I found qunta rocks just now, I can see it on their color, and I cant scan, mine them

[silk ridge]

Like I said... I had to adjust my way of scanning quiet a bit tho.

[silk ridge]

Then don't linger around and get to the next cluster. You don't even have to stop if it doesn't get an outline in mining mode.

[vivid magnet]

if I don't stop, I slam into the next nearest asteroid

I don't follow the rule of don't point where you want to be

[jovial pasture]

what utillty should i have on my lancet head on the prospector

[knotty kiln]

Im just asking if Im doing something wrong or if it is a bug. Because right now Im just trying to make it work like, getting out of seat, minin mode ON/OFF, etc

[vivid magnet]

nothing wrong

it just doesn't work

[toxic citrus]

Been around on band 5 a lot

Just flying around mindlessly

[jovial pasture]

what utillty should i have on my lancet head on the prospector ????????

[silk ridge]

Ok... my current Mining-Meta for the Halo:

• Fly to a Halo-Spot of your Choosing,
• I'd recommend mid-density (Band 3 to 4), so you can fly fast without having to dodge rocks.
• Point away from the sun
• start flying at 70% of max speed
• Set Ping at 180° angle
• Ping every few seconds to see Opportunity markers and fly in their direction for a fly-by
• Keep pinging until you see how many Rocks are in there
• If there's only one rock or 3, just fly towards another Marker
• If it's 2 or more than 3, get closer until you can see what type of rock it is.
• Slow down only for Q-Types or singles you've seen close by that are obviously Q-Types
• do not stop if you cant determine the Rock-Type or if you don't get a yellow outline

[vivid magnet]

I saw something that it's better to get impounded than land if you're carrying quantanium?

it stores your ship, and I assume halts the decay?

[silk ridge]

This method covers many opportunity markers and clusters in a short time. You'll be much slower in denser bands, because you have to dodge asteroids.

[silk ridge]

Only if you're running out of time with only 2 minutes left or so.

Not sure why anyone is lingering around this long with quant in their hold to get this close to exploding. xD

[vivid magnet]

trying to mine the quantanium with my 10-20 fps

[silk ridge]

If you have enough time to get to the terminal, land properly.

[tulip roost]

Consider a switch to 720p. Ain't joking

[deep vector]

Decent strategy

[vivid magnet]

i wonder if they'll release ships designed to transport quantanium, and zeta proland whatevers safely

[deep vector]

If he’s gpu bound

[silk ridge]

With this bad fps you should get back early and land normally instead of being in a rush and risk crashing due to fps lag. xD

[deep vector]

Raft should be the one, but still not implemented

[marble crater]

there's a bug going around where if you disembark with Quant the timer can bug out and go straight to volatile. Impounding gets around this

[vivid magnet]

it's an exaggeration, but I get about that when at a planetary city

[deep vector]

Good luck dealing with instability on 20 fps

[vivid magnet]

the raft is in the game though?

[deep vector]

He doesn’t work this way

[vivid magnet]

or do you mean the storage crates

for the raft

[deep vector]

Not implemented functionality

[vivid magnet]

cargo refractor my beloved

I've been waiting a long time for manual cargo loading and unloading

[jovial pasture]

what utillty should i have on my lancet head on the prospector ??? pls anyone

[vivid magnet]

only thing left is for proper passenger ships and passenger manifests

I don't know, the only module I had was to lower inert material collected

[deep vector]

Oh yes

[silk ridge]

it'll be so tedious ... I hope there's a way to pay for it to be done automatically. Otherwise I won't ever transport any cargo ever again.

[deep vector]

You may use stampede, surge, fltr etc, a lot of. Nothing you obligated tho, so pick your favorite

[vivid magnet]

Maybe NPCs will load it

[jovial pasture]

are those passive?

[silk ridge]

Depends.on your way of mining ... but if you're new, Brandts and Lifeline are useful.

[vivid magnet]

although kinda glad the database gets wiped

might be hard to load a caterpillar that doesn't lower it's ramps all the way

I could always keep the caterpillar in orbit though, and just haul cargo up to it

although unloading from planetary cities and hangars will be ...difficult

[silk ridge]

As long as they wait with the database wipe until I got my permanent fleet together from the pledge-Store ...

[silk ridge]

🤣 getting it blown up by asshats while you get the next cargo-load

[vivid magnet]

it should be almost impossible to find

space is big

especially with it completely powered down

[deep vector]

Part yes, part no

[jovial pasture]

what is a good passive then?

[deep vector]

Depends what you want

[jovial pasture]

i want to mine lol

[deep vector]

Check and find what you like

[silk ridge]

Planets are small ... a ship in orbit is easy to find. And since there are literally no consequences for getting Crime stats ....

[vivid magnet]

there's rehabilitation

if you don't wipe it

[jovial pasture]

can i use the fltr xl or the fltr on the propector

[vivid magnet]

don't you love it when an almost dystopian future has a better prison system than America

and Lorville

Hurston of all places

hurston seems like they'd put you on the factory line right after birth

[silk ridge]

Get the Lancet Mining head and a Lifeline active module.

Then go mining. See what you like and what you struggle with and then get the modules you need and want.

The Lifeline is an active module you can use while you're new and about to blow a rock up. ... It can and will safe your life.

Blowing up a rock is 100% guaranteed at some point.

[vivid magnet]

those rocks are brutal

[jovial pasture]

i dont think i need lifeline i mine a couple times with my friends and i only whent vboom the first time

[vivid magnet]

won't destroy my prospector, but will certainly take the engines off, the cargo pods, and everything else

[tulip roost]

It's making you rehabilitate through hard work in hazardious conditions. Certainly beats keeping criminal scum fed with tax money.

[vivid magnet]

well

yeah, I can see that

[silk ridge]

🤣 no matter how much experience ... you WILL blow up again at some point.

But if you don't want the lifeline, leave it out. Go without modules and look what YOU need and want for YOUR way of mining.

[vivid magnet]

I don't even know how to activate the active modules

[gentle acorn]

Alt + 1 2 3 4

[silk ridge]

Well... getting out in less than an hour, no matter how bad and repeated the crimes? ... I wouldn't call it "better". Its equally as bad xD

[vivid magnet]

well, elite dangerous, star citizen, all seem to normalize murder

[tulip roost]

Well let's be honest, it is a game. Nobody will play it if being a murderhobo puts you in for life

[vivid magnet]

"Hey you, random person! Go kill all these bitches taking my mining spot"

[tulip roost]

This is why having a personal moral compass is important

[silk ridge]

true. But if you're a ganker who is just out there to ruin other peoples days, it should be much harder to get out. You either avoid getting to prison or you have to sit in for a bit. Or maybe get a penalty on the equipment you can buy and use ... I hope the reputation system will put a bit more pressure on those people. There should be consequences that can be felt in some way.

[vivid magnet]

they don't give you a mining tool for free, and they cut your oxygen supply in half

or maybe regenerating will deduct merits

[gentle acorn]

I assume modules on mining laser disappearing is common thing right?

[vivid magnet]

if they're consumable ones

[gentle acorn]

They were 2x Torrent III and 1x Focus

[silk ridge]

nah .. you should have a much higher bar to get out. that's all.

No Contracts or less reward for them. Just a bit harder for repeated offences like murder

[silk ridge]

only if you have to claim your ship. Otherwise passives should stay where they are

[vivid magnet]

it locks the hab door, so you can't leave

[gentle acorn]

Thanks that was exactly what I was looking for

[vivid magnet]

i was told that if you upgrade your ship, if you claim it, they give you a new one with those upgrades

[silk ridge]

Claiming removes all cargo and modules. Bad if you use expensive passives.

Passive modules are handled like consumables during claim. So they vanish sadly.

[tulip roost]

There needs to be a system for repeated violations. If you commit a crime soon after getting out of prison your sentence gets longer etc. But I honestly can't see CIG handling it well. Games tend to cave in to PVP crowd crying when they get a slap on the wrist and CIG is too focused on everybody roleplaying their respective roles, criminals included.

[silk ridge]

I think the reputation system will fix most of that.

Until then I learned how to bed-log fast and efficiently in case someone turns red on me 🤣

[vivid magnet]

your ship won't despawn unless no one is near you

[silk ridge]

Bed logging works. Normal logout doesn't.

Would have lost a good chunk of quant otherwise. xD

I hope Pyro will spread out PvP more. I'll just go where there the least risk of coming across PvPers.

And if it becomes as bad as Elite, I'll just start playing other games 🤣

[vivid magnet]

i want,,, base building,,

but the pioneer is so far away qwq

also probably way too expensive

although I did hear about modular prefabs...

[tulip roost]

I don't think anyone will be getting a Pioneer to build a base for themselves

It's like getting a Starfarer to refuel

[vivid magnet]

absolutely not

[tulip roost]

But damn that thing is one sexy beast, I would love to fly it one day

[vivid magnet]

would love one for my organization though..

[tulip roost]

Used to pilot-for-hire on a Cat, big ships are life

[vivid magnet]

doesn't even need refined material

shove a prospector on that bitch and you've got as much construction as you do fuel

although it stores less cargo than the C2

Although that cargo would probably be limited to metals, glass, alloys and the such

the sad part is

all of these big ships

need crew to operate efficently

and until we get working NPCs, I have no friends

my god

the NPCs on space stations, cities

are the dumbest things ever seen

but those bunker AI

damn they're good

[tulip roost]

They are not good

[deep vector]

I may

[deep vector]

Yea

[vivid magnet]

I can't be that shit at the game

[tulip roost]

Whoopsie doopsie

[vivid magnet]

what was the no no word

we can say any other word

[deep vector]

Ret***

[tulip roost]

They are just as dumb, just have an aimbot

🤡

All legit here mods, nothing to see

Sheesh

[vivid magnet]

I swear, those bunker ai are awful

they will one shot me

which, to be fair, I can one shot them as well if I'm careful

but it looks like they're shooting at my feet

[tulip roost]

Bunker AI has two settings

[toxic citrus]

[tulip roost]

1. Kill me, it hurts to live
2. You throwing mad shit for someone in firing range

There is no middle, it's infant with a gun versus delta force operator

[vivid magnet]

I've debated about if using a tractor beam will be more useful than a gun

[tulip roost]

I've seen a guard and a pirate literally touching helmets and unable to engage each other

[toxic citrus]

"Which one of the guards are you?"

The racist

[vivid magnet]

a friendly ai guard walked in front of my bullets

[toxic citrus]

nice

[vivid magnet]

just walking calmly

[toxic citrus]

Hate it when that happens

[vivid magnet]

right past an enemy ai

[tulip roost]

I had a guard hide from me and then charge me full blast from cover 2 meters away

[toxic citrus]

lmfao

[tulip roost]

Anyway, I started blasting....

Arial 20 minutes later:

[autumn cedar]

If you're referencing Klescher by that, it's on Aberdeen 🙂

[tulip roost]

Someone should make a Welcome to Klescher Rehabilitation Facility "You're finally awake" meme

[tulip roost]

I did a mental coin toss, I knew it was one of them

[median smelt]

Picked up a bunch of Hadnite, trying to sell it at consoles at refinery - not seeing it even show me the option of the backpack

Should I be selling this somewhere else?

[silk ridge]

Those you have to sell at the Admin terminal in the Galleria

[median smelt]

Oh

Ok let me see if I can find it

[silk ridge]

The refinery terminal is only for raw ores, not for the gems. (which is kinda dump lol)

[median smelt]

Admin terminal would be where? I found a store call Platinum Bay

[silk ridge]

Not sure if all stations have that or if you have to go to an orbital station. (Everus, Tessler , Olisar)

[median smelt]

??

[median smelt]

Oh alright, I'll take a flight then

[tulip roost]

Look for yellow doors. Admins are on every station.

It's in the galleria, on one of the floors. Don't go into Food Court, that's too far

[median smelt]

I'm on CRU L1

Would that count as station?

[tulip roost]

Yes, any space station is a space station

[silk ridge]

usually looks like that

[median smelt]

Amazing, thank you

Found it

[tulip roost]

And here comes the...

[median smelt]

Huh... so I was able to sell the Dolvine, but Hadanite gives me an error

[tulip roost]

Didn't expect that one ngl

[tulip roost]

🤷‍♀️

Please try again later

You can store your hadanite in the station inventory so you don't lose it to some unforseen consequences, though it might give you carpal tunnel

[median smelt]

LOL yeah already got that from all the other looting

[tulip roost]

||Do a macro||
So sorry to hear about that, nothing can be done.

[silk ridge]

I'm not even looting anymore. Only if I go for food and water.

Selling stuff is just too tedious to bother.

The only thing I take with me is Railguns for my org and Arrowhead snipers for myself. ... that's all.

[tulip roost]

See this is the true advantage of claw grip

All them "pro" elbow sweats getting carpal and here I am effortlessly dragging my loot across the screen with a 2mm move of my fingertips

It's like I was made for this

[jovial pasture]

how do i use my modlues?

[silk ridge]

Alt 1-4

[silk ridge]

I don't mind dragging that stuff ... the process of selling is what annoys me xD

[tulip roost]

[silk ridge]

It always resets the filter and page and even the quick-sell.button just takes too long to complete the transaction.

[tulip roost]

You know what's even worse? Whenever I try selling guns to cargo on Tessler, a couple goes through and then one gets stuck on infinite transaction, and I tried waiting for 10 minutes once. The only way out is to move away from terminal and it completely locks out all selling and buying from cargo for the remainder of the session

I'm sitting on like 200k worth of guns

[vocal portal]

So i just got an Avenger Titan, how does the cargo system work. Do i need to purchase the shipping crates them fill them at a terminal ?

[tulip roost]

Come buy one today! Magazines and candy bars gratis!

[tulip roost]

No, you purchase the goods directly into your ship hold, they are pre-packed

[jovial pasture]

is there a way i can move a rock?

[tulip roost]

But Omnissiah help you if you want to trade in a Titan

[vocal portal]

Not sure i will, just curious on the system of trading. still a fresh fish to SC

[tulip roost]

Yeah, cargo isn't physicalized yet, so you just press buttons on a terminal to buy and sell

It will be visible in your cargo hold tho

[vocal portal]

gotcha, thanks

can you sell the toxic waste on Maint. missions ?

[frail cypress]

on a derelict mission in space i've found a bunch of small boxes i could carry but not loot or interact with in any other way except grabbing. what's the point of those?

[jovial pasture]

how do i pick it up

or is it glitched

bc its not giving me a option to do so

[wild hill]

Anyone here mind helping a guy out with an ARGO MOLE and RAFT build? I don't want to waste credits on modules I don't know anything about

[frail cypress]

for mole, check the pinned guides

[jovial pasture]

and how do i get it out of my ass now

[frail cypress]

raft i'd say an atlas qd or equivalent

[frail cypress]

same way you got it out of it the first time. if you can't, it could be bugged

[jovial pasture]

what should i set the bars to?

[frail cypress]

play with them until you get 90%

then click green button

[jovial pasture]

what does it help with again my friend just told me to get it

[frail cypress]

ugh there are different ones, this gives you -75 resistance, -50 green charge rate, +50 red charge rate

[jovial pasture]

well idk if i can even mine it lol

[frail cypress]

so you can crack bigger rocks with lancet head

[jovial pasture]

my charge does not even go up

[frail cypress]

no

for this you need surge and stampede modules

and maybe 1-2 boremax or waveshift

[jovial pasture]

bruh

so what should i get for prospetor then?

[frail cypress]

that rock isn't worth cracking anyway. find one with at least 15-20% quant, max 6k mass

preferably 4-5k mass with 30%

[jovial pasture]

i found a good one

then right next to it like 1000m was a anthor good one so i went to mine that one then came to this one and mined it when i went to extract the other one it was gone how long does it take to despawn?

[frail cypress]

it wont

have to find a new one

[jovial pasture]

no you dont understand so i found 4 rocks

2 of them is there

i am

and two

[frail cypress]

if you have quant in your ship you wanna gtfo

[jovial pasture]

i dont

that is why i only minned

[frail cypress]

oh right, that's a distance thing

[jovial pasture]

not extracted

[frail cypress]

small pieces despawn around 3-500m

[jovial pasture]

rip

fml

[frail cypress]

just don't forget the timer. once you extract quant, you have 15 minutes to store your ship or explode.

[jovial pasture]

yeah ik

@frail cypress

what modules

should i get

[frail cypress]

surge, stampede

[jovial pasture]

and the 3rd?

[frail cypress]

maybe brandt, optimal or filter if you go for smaller rocks

[blazing cedar]

Does the C2 only have 3 turret cannons as standard?

My top tailgun has a cannon missing and does every time I reclaim, is that a bug or do I need to buy one?

[jovial pasture]

how do you know if a rock is unstable?

and @frail cypress there is no surge module where i am mining for sale

[frail cypress]

on the right side of your screenshot

https://starcitizen.fandom.com/wiki/Surge_Module

[jovial pasture]

so i just should buy a shit ton then bring them to the station close to where i am mining?

[frail cypress]

if you got cash to spend, buy 3-4 of each on every station and experiment

[stoic moss]

How do i mining with the mining multi tool ?

[jovial pasture]

how much is one?

[frail cypress]

1-2k

5 charges

[jovial pasture]

i can only buy 4?

[frail cypress]

well no

you can buy a million

[jovial pasture]

lol

and if i crash my prospector i loose it right?

[frail cypress]

how many do you want to move 1 by 1 from one inventory to another?

yes the modules, not the laser

[raw pebble]

is renting a prospector essential if you want to start mining? i only have like 19k

[jovial pasture]

i have a big backpack

[frail cypress]

you can roc mine

instead prospetor

[raw pebble]

is that like land mining or something?

[jovial pasture]

hooliano what is your in game name

[frail cypress]

yea with a ship and a car

[raw pebble]

same as the discord

[jovial pasture]

my friends gave me money to spend i wanna give back

[raw pebble]

nah man its alright

[jovial pasture]

how much is a prospector

[raw pebble]

i like the work of grinding for money from the ground up

i dont like taking handouts

[frail cypress]

2m

[raw pebble]

for an ROC you need a ship to hold it right?

[frail cypress]

ye

rent a cutlass

[raw pebble]

i only have a starter aurora so i cant store it there. ill just save up the 52k or whatever it is to rent

[jovial pasture]

i dont see it as a handout i see it as a helping hand

to get yoy started

[raw pebble]

i just dont like taking money i didnt earn

[jovial pasture]

ok what is 1+1

[raw pebble]

i did have money to get me started. the 20k that you get

i lost 16k to fines bnecause of a glitch, but i still dont want to take money

[raw pebble]

how much is a cutlass?

[frail cypress]

rent a cutlass, a roc, buy pembroke armor and supplies, food, etc, 100k maybe

[jovial pasture]

@raw pebble what is 1+1

[raw pebble]

i know what youre doing

i refuse to answer the questoin

[raw pebble]

thats double the cost of renting the prospector. is it more worth to buy all the equipment and rent the cutlass and roc?

[jovial pasture]

rented prospectors are kinda bad

[hollow sedge]

not kinda

[jovial pasture]

bc they dont have any

[hollow sedge]

straight up bad

[jovial pasture]

upgrade

[jovial pasture]

lol

[frail cypress]

rented prospector you need 2

[jovial pasture]

@raw pebble let me buy you one

[raw pebble]

nah its alright. ill save up money

whats recommended then for starters who want to mine?

[hollow sedge]

you know your money is going to be wiped anyway. right?

[raw pebble]

i only have 19k which is obviously not enough, so i want to know what to save up for

[jovial pasture]

mine?

[raw pebble]

whens the next wipe?

[hollow sedge]

everyones

idk

[jovial pasture]

proof?

[raw pebble]

im fine with the wipes, im jsut pretty sure its not going to be for a while

[hollow sedge]

but theyre definitely gonna wipe before release

[jovial pasture]

proof?

[hollow sedge]

bro are you fucking ben shapiro

asking me for proof

[indigo wolf]

Well duh lel

[raw pebble]

release isnt going to be for another 20 years at this rate

[jovial pasture]

proof?

[hollow sedge]

theres a high probability they wipe after the money glitches are patched

[indigo wolf]

It’s aUEC rn on release it will be UEC

[jovial pasture]

i will have kids by then

[raw pebble]

release is a while from now

i just want to know what to save up for if i want to start mining

[indigo wolf]

There was a money glitch a long time ago and people made billions like half of the community and they didn’t wipe

[ruby mango]

dumb question, if you claim a ship with cargo in it, you lose all the cargo right

[indigo wolf]

Yeah

[hollow sedge]

oh fr?

[indigo wolf]

Yeah

[hollow sedge]

maybe the ships i bought today will be safe then

[indigo wolf]

But for 4.0 they will probably wipe money/ships/ rep

[hollow sedge]

@raw pebble i dont really have the time now but later you can take my upgraded prospector out for a spin

[raw pebble]

nah its alright. i just want to know what i should save up to rent and stuff

becaus the youtube videos i see say prospectors, but if you guys are saying prospectors are trash, i have no idea what i should do to start mining

[hollow sedge]

its not that the prospector itself is trash

[frail cypress]

bought prospectors are good solo

rented are good duo

[hollow sedge]

the rented ones are since you cant upgrade anything or use modules

[frail cypress]

rented solo is trash

[hollow sedge]

if you want to make any real money you need something better than a stock mining head

[raw pebble]

so renting an roc, cutlass, and buying equipment for mining is the best for starting off?

[hollow sedge]

yeah

[raw pebble]

and thats around 100k?

[hollow sedge]

not sure

i think so

prospector costs about 2 million to buy

[raw pebble]

alright

[hollow sedge]

and once you get one of those a full ship of quantanium is 250k after refining

[raw pebble]

ill go see what to do

im just trying to find whats the best money for starting off, think its mining

ill just do bounties and delivery until i can afford the mining setup

[hollow sedge]

bounties are good too, but you arent gonna be getting paid well until you get to the more difficult ones

[raw pebble]

yeah, im just doing low tiers until i can afford the rentals to start mining

[shy crane]

there must be some trick to bounties that I don't know about....even in my Arrow I get my ass kicked by 'supposedly' low level bounties

[raw pebble]

you lock onto them and shoot in that circle that turns green when you hit them?

[shy crane]

wish it was that easy for me

[raw pebble]

im in the cheapest starter ship, i just learned to lock on and found the rest from there

[gray egret]

Quick one guys - do you bother selling alliminum/quartz etc while quant mining or just only quant?

[shy crane]

I sell all....get 2-3k sometimes for quartz....especially if I just want to fill up the hull and get back with what quant I have

[thin escarp]

@raw pebble I have guides pinned in this channel for mining

@gray egret tbh I kinda don't even throw it in unless it's borase. imo it's just adding more time onto the refining time and its taking up cargo space I could fill with quant haha

[shy crane]

I get that....but I have the time though so.... 🙂

[raw pebble]

perfect. thanks

[gritty steeple]

what percentage should i mine a quantainium rock?

[rotund prairie]

i usually only mine 25% or higher

[jovial pasture]

!itemfinder

[wary tusk]

Universal Item Finder

Use the website to search for any item (and where to buy them) in-game.

[high wren]

mass will come into play. 20% or higher no matter the mass for me usually. but really high mass can be mined for lower %, just the really high mass may require help from others or at least modules/gadgets

[gritty steeple]

Thank you!

[knotty kiln]

Hey. Maybe stupid question, but if I have a propector with 32 SCU capacity, then whats the capacity a cargo ship needs to have in order to be able to carry the refined materials from 1 work order? Or in other words: Whats the max weight conversion rate between ore and refined material? Is it 1:1 so I cargo ship needs 32 SCU capacity as well?

[toxic citrus]

Yep

You need at least 32 scu of free space

The orders cant be divided

[knotty kiln]

what do you mean..?

ah got it

[toxic citrus]

And as for the conversion rate

It depends on the refining process type

[knotty kiln]

so the refinery cant produce more than 32 SCU refined material, right?

[toxic citrus]

Yep

32 for 32 is the absolute max

But you will rarely get it since refineries are often pretty packed

[knotty kiln]

thats what I wanted to know 🙂 thanks !

I dont have a cargo ship yet, so this info is important to know to be able to decide which one I should go for

[toxic citrus]

I recommed getting an FL MAX

Or if ur on a tight budget a regular FL

So you can at least hold 2 work orders per run

[knotty kiln]

thanks for the tips

[coral juniper]

best prospector upgrades

also where can i buy it at refinery stationd

[quaint niche]

anyone have room for 1 more on a mining crew

[jovial pasture]

#looking-for-session

[quaint niche]

@uneven cipher still need mining scouts?

[tame bloom]

What ship could hold an Argo cargo?

[toxic citrus]

Caterpillar maybe?

C2 for sure

[median smelt]

Question... I've seen the whole guide to "create your own large cargo box"

Am I able to do this in ships that have no cargo?

So like the arrow?

[empty pendant]

how much cost the Mole in auec in game?

[tacit otter]

I cry everytime

14....

Dolivine

[toxic citrus]

[tacit otter]

literally found another group of 11

dolivine

[toxic citrus]

[limpid verge]

Is the reclaimer good for cargo

?

[jovial pasture]

can anyone send me prospector upgrades?

[weak hound]

Anyone need a scout? Shoot me a dm

[toxic citrus]

No, and cargo running is bad in general lol

[limpid verge]

Than should I do mining then?

[limpid verge]

.

[toxic citrus]

Yeah.

[limpid verge]

Ehhhhh

Mk

[gritty rover]

do you think the argo raft is a good cargo for 1.8mill?

and what is the other cargo ship arround 3 mill ?

[toxic citrus]

Whats your budget

[gritty rover]

i can farm arround 3mill

and i have a constellation phoenix, who have the same cargo space, so ...

[toxic citrus]

Well if you like the connstellation series

Taurus exists

[gritty rover]

yeah but i don't really want 2 constellation

[toxic citrus]

Then FL MAX

Maybe?

Wider penith

[tacit otter]

compared to a C2 at 5m? no

[real axle]

I own the Reclaimer, you’ll take 6 years to leave atmosphere and it handles like shit

[tacit otter]

it will matter more after the cargo refactor

because the raft will be able to load cargo FAST

[toxic citrus]

Yep

[tacit otter]

with its 32 SCU crates and its tractor beam

[toxic citrus]

Caterpillar with no detachable pod yet

[tacit otter]

Cat is going to stay unfinished for a long time

[toxic citrus]

Its gonna be a fucking pain to load it

[tacit otter]

yep, no cargo elevators

[gritty rover]

i will probably take the c2, i have friend who are going to play, but it's big

[tacit otter]

maybe theyll give us forklifts

[toxic citrus]

And the sides dont even go down to act as a ramp

Like

Cmon

Why

[tacit otter]

The doors are supposed to function like elevators, but they removed that functionality so that they could release the ship quicker

[toxic citrus]

Smh

Even 890J is better for cargo hauling than caterpillar after 3.18

[thorn spindle]

Are the mining lasers information not updatated in game or something ?

Im using a hofstede that supposedly has more power than the lancet but im not doing anything to a 5800 rock

[serene quest]

soooooooo why is scanning in space so shit rn?

signal strength on the scanner is nil until like 1100m out

can't determine noise either

[tacit otter]

The struts are there on the current module, its just not animated to do it

[toxic citrus]

Yeah

[toxic citrus]

[thorn spindle]

do i need shatter damage for quant mining ?

[real axle]

No

Positive is bad

[thorn spindle]

ok

can you help me understand why even tho the hofstede has more power than the lancet it dosent breakdown the same level of rocks or even smaller ones

[hollow sedge]

What is this

[real axle]

You’re probably trying to break too big of a rock. The Lancet provides 2 things and thats Instability and Resistance reduction. It also can’t break big rocks on its own

That’s where modules come in

Lancet is just the best mining head due to the volatile nature of Quantanium (if you’re mining Quant)

[thorn spindle]

im using a brendt module for the instability which drops it to similar levels to my lancet on top of that the resistance level of the rock was extremly low

from what i theory crafted off of erkul i should have similar stats with the modules

[real axle]

what mass is the rock?

[thorn spindle]

5800

5862 to be exact

ive broken 6100's with my lancet using surge modules

but this hafstede aint doing nothing to this rock

[real axle]

5800 is just about too big

Probably gonna need a surge

[thorn spindle]

would a helix have the same result ?

if i do a brendt for stability ?

[visual turret]

Does anyone have found the gold box that is found in wrecks

that I heard exists

[thorn spindle]

some people in my org did

[visual turret]

Where did they find it at?

[thorn spindle]

it was a cat im not sure which they were doing alot

[visual turret]

hmm

[thorn spindle]

aberdeen apparently is where they found one

[weak hound]

@quaint niche hey dude, one sec. DM me

[tacit otter]

its a page from the caterpillar concept brochure

[thorn spindle]

For any pro miners out here Lancet or helix for prospector if stability is not a issue ?

[hollow sedge]

wat?

[devout comet]

Hey will anyone wanna help me do some mining runs later today I've never done one before but I have a fully fitted prospector

[thorn spindle]

would a helix laser mining head be better for a prospector if i can control the stability issue with some modules. since it has more power it would allow me to solo those bigger rocks (im guessing),

?

[hollow sedge]

Lancet all day

with surge

and stampede

[thorn spindle]

alrighty thanks guess there aint nothign better

[hollow sedge]

nah its the go to for the prossy. no worries^_^

[thorn spindle]

much appreciated

[weak hound]

Anyone need a scout for mining?

[thorny pendant]

Is selling scrap disabled everywhere?

[fossil scaffold]

How does the new scanning thing work..?

for mining^

[velvet snow]

Whats the mass to SCU calculation again?

[frail cypress]

50mass = 100 units = 1scu

[quaint niche]

wheres the best place to solo mine quantanium in the prospector

[velvet snow]

Think since they fucked belt mining it's on Lyria

[weak hound]

Need a scout?

[cerulean lichen]

First haul in the prospector with half filled with agricium. Even when it’s refined I have a feeling it won’t be worth much though

[fringe dock]

I want to haul stuff that my friend mines in his prospector on planet to a refinery with my constellation, is that possible?

[thorn spindle]

not yet

[weak hound]

Offering my services as a scout. Let me know if you're interested. minimum pay requested 25 percent

[cerulean lichen]

Where is the go to place to mine? I was trying the microtech moons but the wind is so strong

[weak hound]

Lyria, around ArcCorp. I can scout for you and find some good rocks for you

[cerulean lichen]

Maybe. I’m busy right now so can’t do anything right now. Why would lyria be good? Looking at a chart for what’s common to find, lyria looks sorta bland

[weak hound]

for Quantanium?

Ok what are you mining in/with?

And what are you mining for?

[cerulean lichen]

I’m in a stock prospector. Haven’t bought anything for it. Before this I was a dedicated ROC miner. In my first run I was looking for agricium on calliope

[hard tulip]

i need some advice

ive been mining this 6600k mass rock for like 20 mins straight with a boremax on it and i got it into the green but it just went straight down to the start again

am i doing something wrong

[tranquil fable]

Needs more sustained power so use stampede module and surge module to get it

[hard tulip]

anything i can do right now about it?

[tranquil fable]

Get lancet head with surge and stampede modules, go to Lyria for quant rocks

[tranquil fable]

Get somebody else to come sit there for you while you get it so you can find it again or if the can bring a mole or another prospector. Otherwise sadly nope

[hard tulip]

damn

where can i buy surge

[tranquil fable]

Don’t think so but can rent a Connie pretty cheap if he needs to

[tranquil fable]

I don’t remember off the top of my head sorry, google will know though 🙂

[hard tulip]

ah ok

fanks

[tranquil fable]

All g

[fringe dock]

A Connie? Whats that?

[sage arch]

where do i sell gems?

[hard tulip]

admin office

[tranquil fable]

Constellation andromeda, can rent at the rental things

[tranquil fable]

Admin offices usually yellow

[sage arch]

does port oliser have one?

[tranquil fable]

Yea

[sage arch]

ty

[tranquil fable]

Can be annoying to find just have to look around a bit

[cosmic sparrow]

anyone down to so some asteroid mining?

[tranquil fable]

Go lyria it’s better

[cosmic sparrow]

it hasn't been for me... no luck in 3 days

[tranquil fable]

Have you got any money at the moment?

[cosmic sparrow]

not much

[tranquil fable]

And using mole or prospector?

[cosmic sparrow]

prospector

with lanset

[tranquil fable]

Okay so no money to pay a scout… I’ll send you a vid give me a sec

[cosmic sparrow]

ok, thank you

[weak hound]

I'll scout for you for free until you have some money

If you'd like

Just shoot me a DM, @cosmic sparrow

[red path]

How do you get to a place to belt mine?

[median smelt]

If I bought a vehicle, am I able to modify my Connie to have it loaded in the bay like my snub fighter?

[weak hound]

Anyone need a scout?

[blazing cedar]

Unfortunately no. You have to load it manually.

[tranquil fable]

Get the mole out haha

[weak hound]

Lmfao I need money Man. I can't make any in the mole without a scout, and I can't afford a scout

[tranquil fable]

Get somebody you know to go halves and just work together one scouting in another ship and you in the mole

None of my mates play this so it can be annoying of course

[weak hound]

I can't afford to pay a scout. If we get a haul worth like. 500k I can't pay half right off

[tranquil fable]

Forget to add if it’s somebody you already play with a bit they might be okay waiting for it to refine

[jade tusk]

id be chill. Need an excuse to get some school work done anyway

[weak hound]

Um.. I'm gonna say no to you. Sorry.

[jade tusk]

?

[weak hound]

Want me to be blunt?

You didn't even ask to DM. You just jumped in like you owned the place. Not really appreciated.

I'll give you a chance, just please don't try to fuck me over.

It'll be a few minutes before I hop in

[jade tusk]

dude all I was saying is that id be chill to scout for you. you were already in the channel so I figured I'd just message here instead

If your going to act like that then nah I'm good

[weak hound]

My bad.

Not had a good day. Wasn't fair to lash out like that. I'm sorry

Know what. Just forget it. I made a mistake, I'll own that. I've apologized and that's all I can do.

[median smelt]

What kind of aircraft are permitted to be spawned at mining facilities?

[jade tusk]

hey noctis first off, your good, I've had those days too. 2nd I realize how I may have come off because i know you from the Corpse Haulers but you may not have recognized me

sorry for taking so long to respond, was doing laundry

[devout comet]

Hey will anyone wanna help me do some mining runs later today I've never done one before but I have a fully fitted prospector

[silk ridge]

I wanted to go to bed an hour ago ... just park my Prospector in the Halo ... guess what... one ping and I found a good rock...

Mined, refined, back to the halo ... ... ... Ping ... good rock ... repeat

Now I have 4 Refinery jobs running and I'm WAY too late XD lol

The Halo is definitely still worth visiting lol

Me at work tomorrow ...

[weak hound]

HOW

[karmic socket]

Such luck! Halo has been empty for me 😭

[silk ridge]

try this method. works like a charm for me

[fast narwhal]

So, first day roc mining, 150K profit

lol

than I crashed my cutty into the moon on acident with the roc full of a 35K load

[karmic socket]

Sorry - fine touch and care come over time

[fast narwhal]

Lol, I took that as a sign that it was time to go to bed

[deep vector]

mole works perfectly solo on lyria, especially with gadgets. Most of the rocks is sub 6k, doable solo.

[deep vector]

My first load of refined quant I jumped through the planet and exploded on top of a lorville

[cerulean lichen]

Should I get a better cargo hauler than my cutlass to haul my refined mining stuff?

[thin escarp]

@cerulean lichen yes

[fast narwhal]

I use a prospector and my cutty does just fine

[toxic citrus]

When the work orders build up cutty starts to show its true colors

I had to do 15 work orders one by one last time

[fast narwhal]

Yea, I really like the design of the argo raft

Just looks cool to me

[weak hound]

Anyone in need of a scout?

[cerulean lichen]

Went ahead and picked up the raft. It only does it carry enough for the refined materials from my prospector, it’s also my favorite ship interior

[narrow kettle]

did they change anything with quanta mining? since 2 days I mostly find rocks with 2.10% quanta. Yes, exactly 2.10%. Like 90% of the quanta deposits I find...

[gentle acorn]

Same here. I do find some in 30% and I mine those

But it's rare

[toxic citrus]

Yeah, same

I rarely find any good rocks

Its frustrating

[narrow kettle]

the highest I found today, jsut now, is 3k mass with 15% quanta... idk, feels weird the last few days

[toxic citrus]

Yeah

[gentle acorn]

How is Aberdeen roc mining tho?

[toxic citrus]

I changed to bunkers

Hate the lack of quant rn

I guess i could try mining something else lol

[narrow kettle]

I've done that with some friends and I personalyl found about 150k worth of hadanite in, idk, 2 hours?

[toxic citrus]

Bexalite could be a good option tbh

I might try it

[gentle acorn]

I will keep trying for a while more with quant then I will test roc

I mean buying Roc is like 1 bunker lol

[toxic citrus]

A 5k mass 30% bexa is worth 130k refined

mmmmh

Idk

Could be worth it

[gentle acorn]

I mean if it's consistent then it's fine too

[toxic citrus]

bexa, bora and tara could be an ok second option for quant

ofc its worth way less

[narrow kettle]

true, otherwise quanta is worth double... but if you cant find any, well 😄

I do find stones with higher mass tho, in the last 20 minutes I found at least 3 quanta rocks with 8000+ mass, but with only 2%

[toxic citrus]

Bexalite and Taranite could be good options

Quant is infuriatingly rare rn for some reason

[narrow kettle]

the question is if that's a serverside thing and they "patched" it without us knowing... idk if thats a thing in SC, i'm not playing for that long

[toxic citrus]

Yeah

I'll probs honestly switch off quant lol

Bexalite and taranite don't seem too bad

And i see both a lot

[gentle acorn]

Skeegg I feel like quant is server side. If there's a lot of people mining it doesnt appear for us. But there were days where I could fill up within 10min or less

[narrow kettle]

also why tf is it nearly ALWAYS 2.10%?...

[toxic citrus]

we'll see about it today

i'm gonna try mining again

[gentle acorn]

The closer we get to the weekend the less quant I find

[toxic citrus]

If i don't find proper rocks ill just mine bexa or tara lol

Better use of tim

*time

And i can just take as long as i like

[narrow kettle]

I feel like there is a large number of new players joining the last few days... maybe thats also a reason. Idk about the distribution of quant rocks per server

[toxic citrus]

since they don't have the timer stuff

Either way 32 scu of bexa refined is still like 120k+

which aint that bad

[gentle acorn]

Skeegg, if you stay with quant or bex I will test the roc mining on Aberdeen

[narrow kettle]

I guess roc mining could be worth it. I only did find 2 deposits 2 days ago, but those were clusters of 1x 7 hadanite and 1x 8 hadanite

[lapis dawn]

is it worth refining the extra stuff you get from quant mining or do yall just throw it out to save cargo space?

[toxic citrus]

Yeah

At this rate ROC mining is even better than quant

Hadanite aint that hard to find

[narrow kettle]

I try to get as much quant as possible into my prospector, so I mostly end up with tiny amounts of other stuff and thats not really worth it... refined that would be like 200 aUEC extra

[lapis dawn]

thats what i was thinking just havnt really tested it thanks!

i only started mining today having alot of fun with it lol

[toxic citrus]

Even if you cant find hada

There dolivine and aphor everywhere

[round vault]

does anyone need scouts for mining?

[lapis dawn]

anyone wanna help me crack a 6768 mass 48% quant rock?

[narrow kettle]

how tf did you find that now? 😂

[lapis dawn]

i just got to lyria lol

found it in a cluster

[narrow kettle]

... I guess I could help you if I can fill up what you cant carry 😄

[lapis dawn]

absolutely

im in a vc if you want to hop in

[narrow kettle]

[feral totem]

Just had my first ROC mining session in a rented ROC and Cutty Black. Made 90k after about an hour. Rookie numbers I know but I think I’m getting the hang of scanning and mining!

[sacred loom]

Were u on aberdeen mate?

[feral totem]

Daymar

Need to work on my Hadanite finding skills. Kept on finding Aphorite.

I can’t figure out how to zoom in the view to see the color of the veins on the rock? Or should I go to scanning mode “V” and scan the rock to see what it is?

[sacred loom]

u can look with F and mouse scroll man. You want to go to Aberdeen tho. Will need a Penbroke suit and helm + food and water

another 90k u can buy your own ROC

[feral totem]

The Cutty rental is the one that’s costing me money. 34k per day rental makes me sad

Also is there any way to put a speed limiter on the ROC? It has only one speed setting: GODMANNITSTOPGOINGSOFAST.

[sacred loom]

I drive it just with small pulses on the forwad key often in outside view

[tulip roost]

Yeah, the lack of speed limiter is really stupid considering ships have it

And ROC accelerates like a hot hatch

It has no business being this fast

[feral totem]

Is Aberdeen betterer?

[sacred loom]

Many Many funky things in SC man. Be careful about 30k crash while ROC mining and loosing everything

[sacred loom]

Yes, the best place for hadanite

[feral totem]

Ok. Pembroke Suit here I come!

I can spawn my Cutty on Aberdeen right? At the Mining Facility

[toxic citrus]

nope

Only ground vehicles

[sacred loom]

Im online now if u wana do some ROC

[feral totem]

I’m out having dinner!

[gentle acorn]

Is dolivine worst if rock mining?

Or aphorite is?

[toxic citrus]

Doli is

but its just a bit less valuable than apho

[gentle acorn]

So not worth touching at all?

[toxic citrus]

Eh

If its a big node take it

[gentle acorn]

Nah it's a set of two

[toxic citrus]

Then ignore it

[gentle acorn]

Also is there a way to check what nodes are on the ground without getting out?

[sacred loom]

Hadanite is orange veins, thats all u really want. i dont bother with anything else

[toxic citrus]

Yep, scan mode and hold left click

Or visual guidance

[gentle acorn]

Oh okay then

Easier mode. Thanks

[toxic citrus]

Hadanite is purple?

[sacred loom]

Nope, Dolvine

[toxic citrus]

mm no

[sacred loom]

I think, now u got me second guessing

[toxic citrus]

Thats hadanite

Dolivine is a blueish

[sacred loom]

Doesnt quite look like that in game lol

[toxic citrus]

Dolivine is green

[sacred loom]

Sure, Im not gona argue. Cant really remember

[toxic citrus]

nah nah

ill just check wiki

That's what hadanite looks like
