As a miner a major Trick. Play with the optimal range. For example: Helix vs 4k Rock mostlikly will overcharge instant, go now to the max operate range of the Helix and u will notice u csn put more Power in without overchargeing.

Hi Farrister, glad to see this prospector mining again.. for me I took my MOLE out lately cz a bit bored with salvage. I have helix for big rock crusher, Klein for moderate rock, and arbor for small rock.. it does a fantastic job for all kind of rocks. I heard doing space mining is more profitable for multi crew but after i tried it with my friend, the rock is bugged as if its not there tho I can actually see them in front of me.. Maybe you can try space mining at aron halo for the next video?

This is what I've been doing the last few days to take a break from my Vulture. I found an awesome Argo Mole owner help me upgrade my Prospector bags from 32 SCU to 48 SCU. Longer sessions. It's so nice! I like the refinery process and having to ship my own goods. Seems tedious at first, especially since the payout isn't as good as salvage, but it feels more rewarding.

If you wanna mine more consistently, you can go through the Aaron asteroid field just outside of Orison’s system orbit? I find that there’s more prospector sized t2 or t1 ores out there, plus far less chance of getting attacked due to the difficulty of jumping out of warp at the right time. (I try to set up a quantum between Hurston and Arc because the major refineries that offer bonuses to refined ore are out in that direction… namely ArcL2 and MicL5)

@CyberMage42 6 ай бұрын

Prospector is the ideal singleship for money making postt wipe, no up friont money needed to start earning, although it wont be much until the stock laser can be replaced. Very enjoyable. Mole bags make for a useful free upgrade if you know a friendly Mole owner, or get lucky and find a broken Mole.

Love your videos with the soothing music and chill commentary. I see why use the speed up that often (yt shorts and tiktok has left their mark :D). But I personally would prefer if you only use it during quantum drives and while entering/leaving the atmosphere. Not during flying around scanning and definitely not during mining itself. Another note: Why don't you use any gadgets? Would be interesting for viewers and would have helped for the first rock for example.

This is exactly my run as well when it comes to mining with a Prospector. I hate the fact that Calliope has high winds and moves your ship away, making it almost impossible to mine in a solo Mole xD. I honestly think you got lucky to crack that 12000 mass rock. Also i kinda found Dinyx Solventation to be not worth it that much for the huge added time and slight cost reduction as opposed to Ferron Exchange. Don't also bother with the tier 3 stuff like quartz or corrundum as the return in profit is extremely low for the amount/space it will take in the hold of a ship like the C1 and also the time it adds to the refining process. I'd rather do more runs 3-4 and keep only the t2/t1 content. But i guess to each's own.

@Farrister 6 ай бұрын

Lucky? Surely it was pure skill..... :D I really don't mind the added time, I'm in no rush to collect. Sometimes those completed jobs stay there for days...

I'm completely new to this game. I have had my eye on it for several years, but have not really had a serious look at it for a while now and, I can say from what I have seen so far, I'm absolutely blown away. I think that when I finally do buy a game package, which I'm hoping will be very soon, I think mining is going to be one of my most preferred things that I will want to do. One thing I would like to know is, can you do mining without a specialized ship like the prospector, or mole?

@Farrister 6 ай бұрын

Not really - ship mining needs a mining ship, like the Prospector or Mole. But you can rent a Prospector at a refinery deck to give it a try, and ultimately, you can buy one in game. You don't have to buy one with real cash.

Speeding up the travelling was a great idea, but with the insane quality of animation and textures this game has speeding up the part when you're getting into the ship was unnecessary.
