If you go the trespassing route, you can avoid fines and stuff id you're at the retrieval terminal before they give you the fine

If it's raw unrefined ore, you can sell it to ore terminals in refineries as the easiest option. If it's refined materials you need to cell them on planet at the main cities trade center (new babbage, lorville etc)

you may need to consider resetting your character account.
you do that in the web portal

You may loose a few items (food, armor, etc) but not your aUEC or ships

i have a question about how this guy is using his surge module: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brL9CZ-QduI
at 6:05ish it looks like he turns it on?
charge rate spikes up then his laser looks like it's not using surge?
i dont see the electricity surges until like 5-10s later in that video
@thorn spindle yup im here haha
thorn spindle
lmao
hushed abyss
when i use the surge, it shows electricity surging every other second
thorn spindle
just noticed it was in flight
hushed abyss
but in that video above, once he activates it the electric surges dont show up immediately?
thorn spindle
it takes a sec to charge up
hushed abyss
got it
thorn spindle
but its very minute
hushed abyss
so how do you know you've found a weak spot on the rock?
charge level going up even a little bit more than normal?
thorn spindle
when you see your mining bar increasing a bit compared to the no or little feedback you were getting before
yea
hushed abyss
ah gotcha
so using the surge there is good
and will cause a mini crack on the rock like the video?
thorn spindle
keeping the laser there in general is good
hushed abyss
yeah ive def found weak spots
thorn spindle
the only time the rock cracks is when its full charged either red or green
hushed abyss
oh i mean
in that video, you see the rock animate a small crack/explosion
nothing huge
right before the charge level spikes right up to the green
thorn spindle
yea thats how you get it to extractable levels
when the rocks are purple you can extract them into your vehicle
if not you have to keep breaking them down until they're small enough to extract
valid quarry
What kind of hourly income is obtainable via roc mining? Is it pretty bug free?
I've only ever done bunkers and bounties
hushed abyss
yea thats how you get it to extractable levels
i think you're misunderstanding my observation
im aware of how cracking works to extract the actual ores
if you watch the video, you see the animation of the rock doing mini crack/explosion
the charge level then spikes almost up to the green
im wondering what that animation is
thorn spindle
i think you're misunderstanding my observation
that may be a stability animation if the rock is too unstable you can see some spiking on the laser but i personally never witnessed this
i usually use a brandt module aswell to keep stability low tho
maybe thats why sorry for taking so long to get back i was getting shot at
hushed abyss
maybe thats why sorry for taking so long to get back i was getting shot at
dude all good, no rush on responding
so after watching more of others using the surge module, i actually think thats the normal animation once you activate the surge
pure frost
my prospector exploded with quant but i had around 10 min left

ive seen some people mention it as an issue but i dont think it ever got fully verified as a bug. (suicidal prospectors) i my self never instataneously combust in mine. but i have had the old quantum stay in my bag after setting up a work order
I would jettison the bags to turn off the alarm but never blew up
pure frost
maybe i was being too rough
it didnt blow up out of nowhere the alarm blared for a few seconds enough time for me to jump outta da ship and let it blow up on the pac

well u can try to drop the ramp and scoop it

I flew back to shubin once with the roc hanging half out the back of the cutty
gentle acorn
I'll just unload
Didnt think it can happen
Or maybe I will have to. Cargo dont work on ship haha
pallid lake
so im potentially looking at a Focus III module, -10% res but +4 instability to offset my +6% resist anyone use the passive modules for mining?
vivid sorrel
Roc just died while mining. Is it common? Can it overheat? lol
You can shoot it, get a crate you can tractor and put in ship, still need to manually move items one by one from that one to your backpack\ship. Assuming it's full of tasty gems ofc
Also the repair function on platinum bays don't work properly most of the time, basically reclaim the ROC if you see anything above 30-40 wear on the menu

how hard did you bump that thing
gentle acorn
I had it on my ramp and tried to fly up a bit lol
Im not worried about it at all. It was not full
It was like 30%

how come i only see stampede module instead of surge in the refinery at arc forest?
thorn spindle
surge imodules are only sold in a few places
thorn spindle
stampeded controls how fast it fills and surge controls the lasers power output
well not controls but surges the laser with more power
hushed abyss
gotcha so surge is what i need if i want to mine 6k+ mass rocks
thorn spindle
both really
trying to keep it in the optimum zone for a long ass time can be a pain in the ass / impossible sometimes

copper cypress
Oh
@vivid sorrel Well I do that anyway when taking off from pad. Only way to switch out components is after ship has been stored.

Yes, and storing should in theory remember all the ship settings like power on\off, engines on off etc, but it gets wierd when you swap Q drives at times. I don't know what causes it - you could try in #helpdesk if nothing seems to fix it

I used the mole a bit when it was offered to subscribers and from a solo point of view it sucked. I mean its doable just less efficient imo solo
you got to fly to the rock you want position it exactly so that when you leave the pilot chair and go down the the mining laser you can get the whole rock in one go, then run back up to fly to the next or move to get other pieces. Doable yes but annoying
jaunty laurel
ah I see, having to run between piloting and using the laser would be rather inconvenient
gaunt fiber
@noble fiber I agree with @pallid lake as well. If you're planning on doing solo mining, I'd recommend you get a Prospector. The Mole is great for group mining. I have both, and I use my Prospector 10 times more than the Mole.

I have the MOLE as a loaner ship, but you really need at least one other crewmate to make it worthwhile, preferably as many as possible to man the other lasers. Although with 1-2 people it's possible for those two to take lead, and the pilot to hop down the ladder into the underslung laser to assist.
fwiw I think the MOLE is way more fun than a group of Prospectors. That and I personally prefer the Argo aesthetic over MISC's

Is roc mining worth it
ROC mining is now a very viable earning game loop. The only challenge will be the stability of the servers. But ROC mining brings about 200K aUEC per trip. The best thing about ROC mining (besides it is now possible to do since they broke it in 3.14), is that your entry cost is very reasonable compared to ship mining.

How much is a prospector?
north oyster
@valid quarry Thanks for pointing that out. I knew it was a thing (I use it all the time for moving gear in my ship) but I didn't put two and two together.
north oyster
How much is a prospector?
2.2M aUEC
fallen pewter
Oh shit yeah I’ll start with the roc
north oyster
ROC rental is only 4K aUEC, you can earn enough to buy it in ONE trip. ROC to buy at New Deal at the Lorvile space port is only about 174K aUEC
The only other expense is a suitable ship to transport her
You can rent the cutty for about 44K
vital glen
is it worth buying a raft with the prospector?
or will i need a cargo ship with more scu
north oyster
How much is the RAFT? I've not checked to see if it is available in-game yet
vital glen
1.1mil
north oyster
or will i need a cargo ship with more scu
I would encourage you to look at the Freelancer MAX. It's 2.1M aUEC but you get 120 SCU of cargo space. That's what I did
But the RAFT might be a good option for sure
vital glen
how much can you mine in a prospector?
north oyster
what is it's cargo? 96?
vital glen
yes
steep dust
32 SCU is a prospector's max cargo load
vital glen
and when you refine does it decrease or stay at 32 scu?
north oyster
oh, volume, sorry
Yes, it decreases by about 5+%
If you refine at CRU-L1, then you get a 3% bonus
vital glen
how is it you do it do you mine until you have all refinement orders going then just deliver them as they become available or what?
north oyster
Most players mine on Lyria so they use ARC-L1 for refining
vital glen
thats the only part i dont quite understand
north oyster
You can Stack unlimited refinery jobs. The ONLY risk is a new patch that will wipe your jobs

north oyster
The C2? She's a beauty, love it
vital glen
oh no i cant afford that
i only got 4.6 and i need prospector + cargo
the c2 is like 5 mill on its own isint it?
north oyster
ah, roger. Okie dokie. Yes, the priority is the Prospector (with Lancet) and a decent Cargo ship (RAFT, MAX, etc)
north oyster
C2 is just under 5M aUEC
north oyster
Dinyx takes over a day, up to 28 hrs, etc
Ferron is twice the expense but half the time, about 12hrs
vital glen
how long will refinement orders stay after fully refined?

vital glen
oh right ok
i got told to look at https://uexcorp.space/mining

north oyster
If you get the MAX you can use it with ROC mining. that's what I do. She is the best ROC escort in the game, imo. Super easy RORO (roll-on, roll-off)
valid quarry
Yeah i do not recommend using a connie :/
vital glen

If you are buying the Prospector, then you are to focus on only one product to mine: Quantainium
Your activity will rise and fall on hunting, mining, refining Quantainium (for now)
vital glen

north oyster
ROC mining is a blast and what I really enjoy doing
vital glen
as soon as you find quant and mine it do you race back to refine it regardless of how much you got from the rock?
north oyster
be warned, this build, 3.17.1, doesn't appear to be as stable, so 30Ks are back
vital glen
and as a result of stacking refine orders you eventually fill up your cargo hauler's scu?
north oyster

this is varible depending on size and % of the rock. I would not mine anything less than 20% as a rule.
north oyster
Also, refinery jobs can not be split. it either fits or it does not. So don't try to over fill your ship or you will loose the product.
Quantainium does not render, so your ship will look empty
fallen pewter
Are there any illegal rocks
north oyster
There's a chart for % and size to fill the Prospector. I normally consider TURNS as I go out. So I harvest the first rock I come to if it is over 20% (regardless of size). That rock will be worth about 180K aUEC to me, so I don't pass it up for the magical 40% somewhere else
I try to average about each trip in the Prospector being worth no less than 200K aUEC
north oyster
Two primary locations for Quantainium. #1 Spot is Lyria. Second spot (and my preferred place) is Aaron's Halo
vital glen
i think i have enough for a freelancer max, prospector with attachment's and roc
right ok aarons halo and Lyria
north oyster
@vital glen Here's the best document on Aaron's Halo and the Bands in the Halo:
Lyria is very rich in Quan, but the rocks can get too large to solo mine them. Getting about 6K makes if difficult to mine the deposit
You can rent the ROC for about 4K to test it out. 174K aUEC to buy. You will need the Pembroke armor set (about 15K) and Aberdeen is the spot to mine for hadanite.

Componanets dont really matter all that much for mining. However, if your going quant and dont want to have to constantly be buying active modules to replace used ones, I heavily reccomend going Lancet I with 2x Reiger C3s and 1x vaux C3
north oyster
hey guys, what is the best loadout for the MISC Prospector for mining quant
If you mind on Lyria, then your choice of components will determine if you have to leave a rock behind or not. BUT if you mine in the Halo, then all you really need is the Lancet with some Surge modules on it. Just keep in mind that if you have to claim the ship, you loose all the modules you've attached to the ship.

what module can I add to Lancet laser on Prospector to keep it more stable? I can break rocks fine but, when I get to breaking the smaller ones, it's pretty hard to keep it in the green because it's everywhere?
pallid lake
I use the C3 and the Focus III
Reiger C3? something like that
60k and 40k are the costs
golden coral
I use the C3 and the Focus III
you add those onto the Lancet correct? You have to switch to them with ALT+1,2,3 correct?
so 100k everytime I go out to mine?
pallid lake
they are passive mods they work all the time and yes on the lancet
only if you have to claim the ship
gaunt fiber
@golden coral get the Brant module... it has five uses and helps stabilize the rock when doing your second breaks
pallid lake
it adds 10% optimal charge window and 6% resistance for the one and -10% resistance and 4% instability for the other, its a pretty good balance
I use a surge in the 3rd slot to crack big rocks
I have no issue with second break qt rocks with this setup
golden coral
they are passive mods they work all the time and yes on the lancet
I've blown up like 4 times already. Not when initially breaking the rock, it's when breaking the smaller ones. It seems to be a lot harder to keep it in the green and it goes up and down drastically.
pallid lake
with the 75% for the lancet and the 10% for the C3 you get a good size window
gaunt fiber
yeah, the instability of the rock will make it nearly impossible to do your second breaks
another trick is to get another prospector and have them keep their laser at 0, it will make the green zone larger
golden coral
only if you have to claim the ship
but, I've blown up my prospector a lot since I've got it and put the Lancet on it and it's still there. Are you saying, if I blow up and claim it, I have to buy those 100k modules all over again? I haven't had to buy the Lancet again.

yes
okay, so I'll have to remember to store every time because sometimes I just go into lobby and log out without storing ship
pallid lake
if you on the pad you should be good, but dont risk it
im a slow lazy miner im sure others are better but I average about 1.5 to 1.9 mil in QT about every 3-3.5 hours of mining so 100k a pop isnt that much if you look at the loss
of course im not counting the time it takes to refine it. but after 3 hours the runs in my refinery will usually net that when sold
golden coral
okay, thanks for the info. Looks like the screens aren't plugged in at ARC L1 so, I'll have to look somewhere else to buy them LOL
pallid lake
right now with the refinery shop kiosks issue, microtec is the only spot I found to get the focus III modules so depending on where u are based, buy a few or dont use that one
you can get the c3 off the display table behind you usually
just make sure it costs 60k so you know it the right one
its the most expensive
golden coral
I was trying to look at them but, that's acting funny too. It keeps only letting me see the RIME module and FTLR module even though I'm hovering over each of them trying to look at them

I'm just wondering if it's cheaper
pallid lake
I don't surface mine tho. I only mine astroids in the halo
I usually hit 45% 50% qt rocks no bigger than 5122 in size more than fills the prospector why risk anything bigger

I've tried on Lyria and trying to get this Aron halo thing but, honestly it's taking me the same time roughly to find a rock with decent quant percentage either way. I've only had it happen like once where I qt somewhere and I found a nice rock in like 10 min or less
pallid lake
I have 3 different jump points into the halo from where im based I mix them up each trip seems to work for me

I hand mined a light backpack full of hadanite but it sold for way less than the same amount from a bunker. What gives?

yea, this is what I was using. It takes me roughly same time to find a nice rock on Lyria. Not really sure which to prefer yet

I like how you know it's quant though if more than 1 white diamond pops up on Lyria. I can't do that in Halo. I was only having probs with rocks not scanning, not the scanner itself. Seemed fine but, I've only mined with it like 8-10 times now
silk hearth
And I'm talking like 10 times less than from a bunker
pallid lake
you cant tell what the rock is unless you are within 300m so you got to fly up to everyone to get the details
golden coral
And I'm talking like 10 times less than from a bunker
you sure it wasn't the aphorite instead of hadanite?
pallid lake
And I'm talking like 10 times less than from a bunker
if you have 40k saved up, rent a cutlass and a roc and you can make 250k per full trip on hadanite
oh

ah, yes. I do notice that. I can only get the mass from like 1500m or closer. I have to get like 250m or closer for it to tell me what's actually in it.
silk hearth
Normally that would be around 100k from a bunker
pallid lake
yea hand mining blows tho 😦
I did delivery missions to get my 40k then hit the rentals
you could always go to prision? I hear hand mining is good there

yea, before I got prospector, I was doing cutty and roc and was making around 220k per run if I only had Hadanite. On average it took me 1.5hrs or more to do it though. Either because the game broke or couldn't find enough rocks quick enough.
pallid lake
I upgraded my account to the cutlass black, thats my starter ship so I can get into the roc easily after the resets
silk hearth
I gave up on the roc because of how long it takes to get anything done
Especially without a ship to carry it

I was thinking about doing that or even upgrade to Prospector.
golden coral
Especially without a ship to carry it
Just rent a cutty
pallid lake
the only reason I didnt do the prospector is without a hauler its kinda limited
silk hearth
It's just better to rent a prosp if you know what you're doing unlike me
pallid lake
i mean you can sell the ore instead of refine it and rent I guess but refinery runs are out unless you can get a ship to carry it
golden coral
the only reason I didnt do the prospector is without a hauler its kinda limited
It's just that, man it's been a grind just to get enough to buy the prospector. At least for me though. I can always do a mission and have enough to rent a cutty to transfer cargo.
golden coral
It's just better to rent a prosp if you know what you're doing unlike me
I tried that and honestly, it was more consistent for me with the cutty and roc
pallid lake
you can get Laranite, and Bexalite but those 1/2 the value
golden coral
If you have time to hand mine, no way you don't have time to mine with roc and cutty
@pallid lake thanks for the help. Logging out for the night. Missed 1st day of Invictus trying to get this prospector mining thing down smh lol
silk hearth
I was expecting 100k from a light backpack lol
pallid lake
g'nite
I imagine hand mining has got better since it dont take 10 minutes to pick the rocks up now
silk hearth
Still takes a while
I still prefer government sanctioned extrajudicial killings though

i got ships with more capacity than that

Where can i buy mining module , with all L-station screen not working ?
vivid sorrel
Probably the planet sellers
Like on New Babbage - Shubin
Or your module might be physically in the L station store, in which case you can go up to it and directly buy it
hollow sedge
The best thing for mining is going to lyria, mine quantinium, refine it and keep doing that or is there a better way?
vital glen
You can go to Aaron’s halo aswell
There the quant rocks that pop up will be 100% minable with just a lancet module
On lyria you can get huge rocks that you need extra components for

How much profit do you guys make out of cargo hauling? Just trying to see if I'm doing it right

Doable solo with a prospector?

Yep
glass thorn
arrow ship any good before i buy

Supposed to be but I don’t do much combat so idk personally
Ask in flight and combat channel
glass thorn
ok
vital glen
Jump from cru l1 to arc 3 and cancel the quant jump when your like 11.5 to 12.5 mil km away
And you will be in the asteroid belt
Then you start searching

Okay, and what station should I unload all the quantanium on if I mine there.

There is a lot of factors that go into it. With a C2 the lowest I make per run is probably 95k profit, highest being 175k per run.
gentle ruin
i cant wait for orion
on board refinery
probably some sort of cargo stabalizing thing so quantanium never goes off
that or it can just refine it on the run
glacial dagger
Once you refine quant, it become stable anyway 😄
vivid sorrel
kek, Orion lost to Q explosion ^^
vivid sorrel
That seems to be focused on minimise resistance with both mining laser and passive modules, with the active module to help out if large instability. I can only say what it does, but idk how that would work in practise or for what type of mining it's for.
It's unlikely it's a quantanium setup atleast, since that would use a lancet
vital glen
so what would you reccomend for purely quant mining?
hollow sedge
What is the best gadget for a prospector for quantinium mining?
fast pasture
What’s a good module that lowers resistance of a rock?
sacred loom
Ive made plenty of money Quant mining all I ever used was a Lancet head. Brandt, Surge and stampede modules

Brandt? What dose that one do?
hollow sedge
Do you lose equipment like mining laser and modules if your ship explodes?
fast pasture
Only modules I think
vivid sorrel
Yes, just modules, basically they go poof if you have to claim the ship for any reason
hollow sedge
Why can't I see the mining laser I bought on my ship then.

Brandt makes the Green section when mining more stable

i usually run surge + stampede when quantum mining
vivid sorrel

I don't know ^^
gentle ruin
cracks large rocks really fast
cracked some 5.2k + sized rocks with it
really annoying finding 40% quantanium rocks but with too high resistances/mass to be unable to crack
sinful parcel
I tried at the top of the building but it said "request not found"
last time i did it it was on top of a building and you deliver it to a small room with a locker like where you deliver at other points
gentle ruin
though i will say the lancets -0.75 resistance thing is amazing
makes cracking larger rocks more easy than the other lasers

How do you claim the free to fly ships for fleet week?

Hey guys, not so interested in hauling or mining but i do have a question for any of you. Would there be interest in hiring security? Actually i guess my question is more so: is piracy enough of an issue that you would want to spend any profit % for security?
pallid lake
I never see a single other person while im mining
