Thank you so much for this toot.

I still can't fine that page he's looking at why cut off the most import part idk even know to get there in the fist place and u jump to it lies just appears when u dock

I had a terrible experience my first time out trying this. I found my first ever core asteroid, low temp diamonds. I set my charges and amazingly I got it right. I almost blew myself up because I didn't get away fast enough but, hey, it was my first time. Then I panicked because my limpets weren't collecting anything. I'd left my cargo scoop closed. No problem, fixed that. Then my limpets were dying instantly. I was shaken up by almost dying and hadn't noticed I'd stopped right above another asteroid that was instantly destroying my limpets. No worries, I moved. Then finally, as they start collecting and bringing back diamonds, I get an error message. I'd forgotten to install my refinery before I left the station. I had to abandon everything.

hoping to see this coming soon in star citizen

Thanks for the video :)

You can bait them to. Carry some pods drop out of highwake and jettison them and wait. They will drop in to collect them and you can ambush them.

It's growing on me. I like the pointy nose just not the hook. Always felt like they could have made the forward landing gear match the entry steps. Like when u push button the steps come down sliding into the fwd landing gear. That way we keep the pointy nose and the x1 bay but get rid of that ugly nose hook. But anyway it's growing on me.

Skill. Based. Mining. 3 layers. Surface. Sub-surface. Core. This is a thing of beauty.

SKILL BASED mining?! *scrambles to reinstall* That ice field is Impossibly beautiful.

As an experienced engineered Vulture pilot mining to unlock Selene and Didi for my new Corvette, I went from “Ug need blast rocks, how Ug blast rocks?” To “Ahh yes the mineral content, splendid find chap!”

it looks like it took you 10 minutes just to collect 220k worth of void opals? Not including the whole flying there and back part

6:35 it should be noted that if you disarm the charge, that fissure will no longer be useable.

I was kinda meh about the 400i, looks cool and all except the nose, smaller in most aspects compared to the connie or msr. My friend has a connie and i have a MSR. And a 600i so i got the middle to large covered. Then by chance i rented a 400i during invictus. And was blown away. Its cozy in almost every aspect, room for friends but a awesome daily driver for a solo pilot, outside of heavier combat missions, but from getting from point a to point b, maybe a few bunker missions. Or just out flying. I was impressed, its everything i wanted my cutty black to be outside of combat. And super cozy for a solo pilot or a friend or 2. Only thing i wish it had is interior paint schemes. the white is cool with blue light it definatly feels steril and cold. Having some grey's or blacks with some gold and yellow warmer lighting would be perfect. Ended up ccu'ing my cutty to 1.

Once upon a time, if your detonation was too low, you got a 2nd crack at it if there was a fissure left. You didn't get the yield of a successful detonation, but it was something. I tried that last night (Been a while and I'm out of practice) and the charges just bounced off. I guess the consolation prize 2nd crack has been taken out?

My seismic charges keep bouncing off. How do I correct this.

If 42 SCU is "enough" why do the Aquilla and Corsair (the most direct competitors) get 96 and 72 SCU respectively? Heck, why does the Carrack need 456 SCU? I think its a good sign, that if all the other exploration ships have large cargo capacities, then that's likely going to be a requirement for the role. The 400i (which I have) feels a lot like the first iteration of the 300i (which I also have) and 600i... Lots of potential, but the design lacked direction and the result fell short. For example the 400i, being a 3-person ship, cannot carry a ground vehicle that can hold all its crew (like an Ursa or G12). Yet it has 4 escape pods (for 3 crew) taking up valuable space in the cargo bay (escape pods that are as far from the bridge that it is possible to be). It has expansive climate controlled engine rooms, yet is so inefficient at using the space, it has to keep half the components in the cargo bay walls too. And while it has 3 turrets, they can only really fire backwards, so is impossible to focus fire on an attacker, resulting in weak defences. They filled the void space between the airlock and bike garage with a gravity generator that no other ship needs, instead of allowing direct access to your hoverbike from inside the ship. The view from the pilots seat is terrible and the internal and external windows barely line up. And the holo table area gives the distinct impression the devs didn't know quite what to do with it, because in the original concept there was a pool there, so the space feels awkward and underused as a result. If they 'just' moved the components from the cargo bay to the copeous engine rooms and the escape pods to the top deck hallway, they could have an 80 SCU cargo bay (which could fit a G12) in the same space. The turrets could be moved to the wing tips to improve arcs of fire and allow the top deck to be stretched by a couple meters to allow the relocation of the escape pods. If they got rid of the gravity generator (or switched it with the bike bay) you would get access to the bike from the inside of the ship. Moving the pilots seat forward and up would make the visibility so much better. And changing the rear section of the habitation deck to be either more useful or at least a nicer place to take in the view. These are not massive changes, but would really make the 400i feel like it actually had some planning gone into it.

The interceptor itself makes a terrifying sound

That ignore list tip has saved me so much effort thanks man

Colladius said you were helpful and he was right!!😮

You did send me out there without the DSS lol, i was stuck for a good hour until i figured ehat was missing. But its al good youve been more than helpful thank you.

Love this for a series! Subscribed!

Thanks! I just fully loaded out a Type-9 and posted to reddit because I had no idea what I was doing. This made me feel both stupid and now hopeful! Thanks.

I love the 400i but you are factually wrong. Having 42 SCU of cargo is not appropriate for it's crew size and class, the Cutlass Black has 46 and is almost a third of the price. Same can be said about the guns, it's laughably undergunned and it sports less missiles and guns than a Conny while the latter also gives you more than double the space for cargo AND a snubfighter included for 10usd LESS. The only redeeming factor of this ship is how good it looks and how well the interior space is utilized but that's peanuts it you ain't gonna use it for ANYTHING. Looking good is not a game loop and this is not a luxury transport, it's an EXPLORATION vessel on the same class as the Constallation and the Corsair. I don't care how cool or well designed it is, it ain't worth it unless they wake up and actually redesign it so it can actually compete with the rest.

When I shoot subsurface targets they take no damage

If ONLY the ship has good guns/better turret placement... or the ability to fit a roc... really to do anything practical. Even scanning nd stuff itns't actually in the game unfortunately.

If you ever decide to ditch the supercruise assist, one of the ways I go through supercruise is by throttling at 100% towards my target (unless there’s a thing in the way) until the timer hits about 7 seconds, 6 also works better ish but is scarier, then you throttle down to 75% which you can actually bind to its own key, so you can keep the throttle at 100 then hit that key and let go of your keyboard. Doing this at 6 seconds is a bit better because it will keep the timer at 6 seconds the whole way through, but 7 is safer

how do you get mining lasers? where do i buy them

The 400i is my favorite ship in all of Star Citizen. It's unparalleled, I would do anything to have 1 IRL.

I feel this ship is an incredible refinement of Origin design. The complaints about the 400i are about its cargo and combat capacities. But that is because the other vehicles fit multiple roles better, while the 400i is honed like a razor to fit the job of exploration and to do it in style. It is as if the designers asked themselves "what do we need to fulfill this job?" Then they removed everything else. It is perfection of efficiency crafted with the finest of care.

very cool

What type of asteroids/rings does tritium form in?

Whats the best ship to use for mining in the 20mil credit range? xD

How do you “melt down” vehicles?

Been having trouble finding enough bromellite for missions, will core mining help me get more of it faster? Or are cores different from what you get by regular laser mining?

I’ve core mined for several hours and this seems much more relaxing. Excited to try it later tonight. Great video!

I did not know you could make an NPC undock, nor did I know about the AFMS repairing in power priority order. That makes a lot of sense why the modules it chooses to repair seemed strange!

thanks for the tutorial commander o7!

I only recently got back into E:D and core mining has been a blast.

Great video. Mining is indeed still very profitable and not super difficult. Especially pay attention to limpets people! Remember, limpets are cheap and expendable. If anything just fill your inv up with them. You can always jettison if needed. They are dirt cheap. Its always better to have too many than not enough!

It actually is fun

Where the fuck you find these asteroids? I WAS TRYING TO FIND THEM FOR 30 MINUTES

You should have more subscribers

I miss the canopy freezing in Odyssey when deploying a heatsink.

Perfectly explained! Makes a lot more sense on the low-med-high yield detonators and the fissure types... load 'em up so in the blue zone. Check! finally 'sploded my first asteroid core.

Thanks man! Awesome info easy to follow

how many limpets should i be buying?

Been looking for a good mining tutorial for a while, I finally found it. All the others were really messy and didn’t explain anything for a beginner. This one did, really nice video. You explained everything well. Thank you

Just started E:D not too long ago and I'm needing things for engineering...and I had no clue until now how to do it. Thank you and subscribed!

I have a billion in credits and I still mine. I got lucky and started out when painite and low temperature diamonds hit an insane boom at the same time a new rich source within the bubble was found. You could even surface mine it without too much searching. It let me buy my first ship capable of both lasers and core mining. Right now, Monazite is about the most lucrative mineral. Pulse wave analyzers combined with the night vision function can help sort out the asteroids with deep deposits. The game mapping can show black grid lines or odd colors when you pulse in quick succession. It's a glitch that shows the ones that spawned with core deposits
