I can't wait to get a step in between that loop: a mobile refinery like the Expanse! I have thoughts about small group mining and using my own fleet: when by myself = Prospector, 2 = Prospector + Expanse, 3 = Prospector + Expanse + Zeus CL, 4 = Arrastra, 5 = still Arrastra xD

Good video (again), but they're not escape pods - they're suit lockers, which you somewhat correctly mentioned in the original review.
@Jacob-er1tt3 ай бұрын
haha yeah i was confused why the pod would be made of glass
@Alkvaarder3 ай бұрын
The cargolift is - just like the RAFT - too small to get in more than 1 SCU container plus yourself. This means the floors onboard are barely usable for random item storage. But this ship could easily host a 2 x 2 SCU lift internally. The ladders have detaching issues/bugs, making solo mining more tedious to get around in your ship. Personally i am willing to give up a mining turret for a MPUV Cargo or RAFT docking port on the side or on top of the ship. The aesthetics of the MOLE and RAFT are one of the best in game. Making the presence on any mining outpost you arrive creates the feeling: now it is a real in use mining outpost.

@Yama_12913 ай бұрын
You are confusing the suit lockers with the escape pods. Usually its the sleep modules that double as escape pods in ships that size.

I think the mining ship will come into their own when base building is in and the need for different types of ore is required . there is a big need to be able to mine different ore other than Quantum. But I do prefer the scraping of salvage its easier going relaxing too , I do thing the price per SCU of RMC will drop. I am happy with that.

I would love to have an Argo Ship Team that does combine gameplay loops. For example one ship is mining/salvaging, a small one transports the boxes on to a transport ship that is flying off to sell/refine stuff while the rest of the orange greycat team in their orange Argo ships continue mining/preparing stuff for the transporter when it sold its load and joins the crew again to pick up the next load. Meeting up in the sweet RAFT Interior after work or for launch break until everyone puts their orange greycat helmets on again to go out continue working. You could have little rp with it and since you would have like 3 different game loops players could change which part of the job they want to do today.

I love all my Argo ships, they never really need a livery change.. 😊 The MOLE is my solo as well as my multiplayer mining ship.

Thanks Farrister for another great video, always appreciated! 🙏🏾

That is a major downside to many ships in SC, very poor ''window/views'', ships like the Corsair/Redeemer to name a couple, are like riding in a trash can. My Phoenix trumps them all in the ''visual aesthetics" dept, no ship comes close, none they're windows are either to high, or completely missing in the seating area, or just dont exist.

It is such a cool looking industrial ship. I think MModes in 3.23 will help the MOLE with flight as its so sluggish and takes forever to stop from speed. Using MModes to swap from NAV mode to SCM will drop speed very quickly, and then further to this, lowering landing gear brings you to a crawl speed quickly. These i can see being very helpful for the MOLE.

Been playing MOLE mining with 1 friend this last week or so. It's enjoyable as a multicrew for sure. I wish the side turrets had more vertical visibility though, it can be very time consuming trying to get the pilot to raise the nose of the ship regularly so you can see more than 50m in front of the MOLE. Also, I think a small cargo bay would be an ace choice to carry a ROC miner in, it would help profits for multicrew mining.

Mole is a cool ship, i'll probably buy one on Live because of price increase for 3.23. If there's not a wipe i'll have a Mole and if there is one oh well. Also in 3.23 ore bags are sold at cargo and prob other kiosks but i don't know if you can put the mole bags on the prospector in 3.23.
