Also we now have finally mineral scanners and mineral harvesters, so no more just smashing up rocks to get an idea what is inside.
Mining can definately be done while out in the deep depths of unexplored space when you find a good spot.
Discouraged, email sent to FD

The bugs are still there. It is simply unacceptable

Luckily it's in Beta where bugs should be found, reported and corrected. If the behaviour is not what FD want it to be I'm sure they will look to fine tune it before it goes into release.
It is not unacceptable for bugs to exist in testing.
Yes. That's in the beta forum. That's what beta is for, so that bugs like that aren't in the main game.
Saying that bugs in beta are "unacceptable" kind of misunderstands the purpose of beta.
The bugs are in a BETA BUILD of the game though. At least wait until they are in the full release before complaining about them.
Its not a bug its human error, check your targets.
Haha hahaha. He's right, that's totally unacceptable! Hahahaha. "As an ex programmer" ( now à systems analyst) I can tell you that even the perceived bug wouldn't have been hard to fix... Simply don't call the clean up function, and send the object back out on its path finding function again.... Sigh.
Threads like this (and many, many others that are so useless they may as well be considered disinformation) make me hope frontier completely ignore everything we say and just develop the game off their own ideas.

Yep. Forming an opinion based solely on 2nd hand information is not the way to go. I have seen a few threads with folks moaning about things, that are actually there and working, its just that they either not had access to the beta, or they have access, but are rushing through and missing stuff.
I concur. I want to read info from beta testers who are actually testing beta, not someone who has read something and jumped to conclusions. I am not a beta tester and it is taking me ages to sort the wheat from the chaff.
the problem has nothing to do with 2nd hand information, its that the OP is clearly wrong lol. That shouldn't mean logical people lose access to contributing on the beta forums, if anything it should invite a singular ban or downvote. I mean you get plenty of opinions here and some are unfounded, but this isn't an opinion its just flat wrong lol.
It's not a race. The game is not all about getting the biggest bestest ship as fast as you can and then.... and then... oh.
You see? So you break your butt grinding and grinding and you eventually get that great big shiny 'whatever'. What have you really achieved? Certainly not enjoyment of the game because you've turned playing a game into a job.
Relax, take your time, see the sights. Trade a little, mine a little, shoot a little and enjoy doing it all. The big shiny 'whatever' will still be there for you and when you get it you can look back on a lot of hours having fun.
I have a few million in the bank and i drive a type 6. I was an early adopter and I'm having fun, not desperately trying to have it all in the first few weeks.

THIS.........EXACTLY THIS /\
Not only that, but mining missions on bulletin board for as little as 1 or 2 units of a resource can pay out near 100k - 200k.
Hate to rain on your parade but it has never been easier to generate credits in this game than right now. Bounty hunting is now so lucrative you can generate more credits per hour in a decent RES (braindead turkey shoot) using a Vulture than all trade ships up to a Type 6 or 7. Exploration was also boosted. Try putting some effort in and hauling your ass out to the neutron layer. I went from Aimless to Elite in 2 weeks and was 250 million better off. Exploration is currently the fastest way to reach Elite in the game. There are plenty of ways to make money but all require some effort. It seems you want all of the credits with none of the effort.

Sorry, ok, the %''s of the ores in the mining fields are way down (even though rings are pristine), ok I says, maybe bhotho is getting bled dry, so I go exploration and get 800 LY from populated space, get the old mining laser out and poke around in a pristine metallic and low and behold nothing I'm getting is any better then in bhotho, then add the fact that I try in more systems and same thing, log out and in to change the instance and nothing, days later it's still going down hill, now I routinely find (when I do), 6% to 3% , I've done the ugie boogie, sacrificed chickens, even prayed to the devil himself but no improvements in yields no matter where I go, maybe it's just me, maybe i'm bugged, I don't know.
