after a couple of traderuns i decided to do something else. have tried mining in the past but didn't like it and did something else. wanted to take a closer look today but i didn't change my mind. it is actually really boring.
what i like is that you get occasionally scanned by pirates. i also like that there is police potentially helping poor miners. and i like that there are other miners doing their business.
but everything else is really bad implemented.
depending on your cargo hold, you really have to scoop a lot of asteroid chunks. not only does this take a lot of time but the chunks disappear relatively quickly. when you miss scooping chunks, it gets even more frustrating.
what can be improved:
-> some sort of tractor beam would be really helpful with this. chunks shouldn't disappear that quickly.
-> fewer chunks to fill the cargo hold
when you were able to scoop a chunk, you have to go to your side menu and allocate the materials. plz correct me if i'm wrong but when you scoop a chunk with a different material composition, you have to go to the side menu to allocate materials again. this is really bad for the flow of mining.
what it should look like:
mining laser -> scoop all chunks (preferably with a tractor beam) -> allocate materials
these are my suggestions to make mining a bit less boring. but as it stands now i can guarantee you that i will never ever go mining again if it stays in it's current state.
