Mining Tritium at 300t per hour, Elite Dangerous

Note that I can only do this in certain rings, and with HOTAS (struggling with Gamepad). Flat, dense rings like this tend to be good with sub-surface rocks appearing fairly close together in clusters. I do a combo of laser and sub-surface, with focus on sub-surface. Ignore anything less than 10%, fast-spinning rocks and surface deposits.
I got distracted by some LTD's, since I'm near Colonia. In the void, I ignore anything that isn't Tritium. Also, sorry for the lag. Potato PC and recording while playing is a little too much. It set my timing off a little, but this is anyhow pretty much how a fairly relaxed run looks like.

am pretty sure i didnt even earn a rebuy for my python yet when i played a year or so ago, i do have the trade ship as well so no rebuy for either then, re downloaded it the other day but will be a while until i re learn how to play it again, from playing X4, i have most of the suits & weapons now too after visiting many places hunting them down, and for a genre i paid little attenton to (FPS) after trying it out a few times the planetside stuff is something i can really get into to

Wish we could bring some huge ship with crazy mining laser to just mine through these asteroids with super ease.

@ruffleif8381 28 күн бұрын

Try the T-10 with 9x modified mining lasers! Needs permit unlock and mats per laser, but totally worth it.

@seryvouk4966 3 ай бұрын

It looks beautiful. Especially rotating with the asteroid when the subsurface rocket is working. I looked at your Cutter's design. My fit is very similar to yours, it's almost 1:1, but I don't understand why a 7A Universal Limpet Controller is needed??? Six collector limpets (2*5A) are usually enough for tritium mining. Instead of the universal 7A, I have an 8E cargo for 256t installed.

@ruffleif8381 2 ай бұрын

I agree that 6 is enough for sub-subsurface, just barely. When you hit the deepest deposits and there's some spin to the rock, all 8 from the universal are sometimes in use. I alternate between sub and laser, partly to take a breather now and then from the spinny-spin, partly because with 14 limpets and a weapons focused distro, laser mining a 30% rock when I find it is about as fast at sub-surface. Note: I go extreme with this, using Tritium mining to boost deliveries to the STAR initiative. So occasionally mining 4k in less than two days to top off a depot delivery... I don't recommend doing that on a regular basis XD

So nice to see some sub-surface mining being done. So far as I'm concerned, it takes the most skill of all the mining types to do well at. Such a pity it got so badly nerfed compared to the other methods!

@@Garryck-1 the sub surface mini game is easier, although actually even the deep core ones are not difficult, it also depends on what type of player you are, my problem is that I have terrible aim so i struggle to aim the fissures

As a returning player after several years whats the general ring type to look for tritium? Normally im making money wherever i can and then just buy it but this could be an alternative 😂

@ruffleif8381 2 ай бұрын

Good rings are somewhat rare. As a squad dedicated to mining in the void, we've found quite a few and are mapping them. Icy rings, of course. Then generally if they're flat, like pancake flat, and preferably dense.

I think you missed the point... This is Tritium. Not a credit grinder thing to do, but keeps your FC running in the void. And the rate is about twice what the community seems to think is standard.

I've not been playing the game for a while but it seems overlaps got nerfed. I'm not even looking for that now. I've been in overlaps where I could hardly get 100 tons per hour too. Try Kopernik B 7. Pancake flat and dense is usually good for Tritium.

@@ruffleif8381 i was still pretty new about the time LTDs were getting nerfed. The eggs used to be the ultimate mining. What I call total BS on was core mining getting nerfed. Lasering platinum is meta for mining and its not that good. Massacre doom stacks or exo bio are way better credits per hour. Apparently goid hunting at the spires is crazy profits too. I never tried stacking AX missions though. Just a few while fragging odd murder flowers at burnt settlements.

Just played the game for years and do the parts that I enjoy. Somehow I end up with enough mats and credits along the way, but am never really in a hurry. After all, it's a game without an endgame, so why hurry to nothing?

It was never abandoned. A bunch of people have been making clickbaity doom videos for the past year even as updates and new content kept coming. They just ignored all of that and continued to assert the game was dead. Now there's a whole year of content announced, and to quote one famous Doomtuber in their recent video... "well, it seems I was wrong."
