quickly and efficiently collecting the fragments.

So like I said, always best to mine in open after asking the man whose avatar is literally holding a pirate flag where to go
:angel:
Possibly... If we consider asteroids have 6 or more surface deposits regularly, then a small ship would need just a single "utility point abrasion blaster" automatically taking these out as the surface deposits enter line of site/range. A large ship would probably have 2-4 of them.Do you mean equipping more collectors or adding another element to the mini game. clearly cargo scoop wouldn't fit what you describe and it's garbage anyway

Surface deposits would then be down to bringing your "utility point abrasion blaster" to bear (line of sight and in range) on the surface deposits, and picking up the fragments quickly. And yes, I can only envisage limpets doing the picking up?
I'd envisage when a motherlode opens and a large ship approaches it, it being a thing of beauty with 2-3 of these "utility point abrasion blaster" opening fratically up automatically on any/all surface deposits in line of site (like counter measures).
Let's consider the current gameplay. We have:-i might just need a nap but you're advocating making it a more high paced, skill requiring activity and then saying strap on more collector limpets? doesn't really compute
i think also you're underestimating the difficult of current abrasion if you're mining in a "snail cutter". Sure you're probably moving so slowly it is easy. This is counterbalanced by you have to wait for the cracked roid to open up more and can't move from deposit to deposit as quickly.
But zipping around in a challenger (~20 m/s^2 lateral thrust acceleration vs 6 on a cutter) it's non trivial. i'm not the best pilot out there but i know enough to recognize the firing mechanic is basically a rail/PA blend, and they are not considered easy to use weapons. (asp/python/krait have ~15 m/s^2)
[*]Abrasion Blaster - Minor skill based aiming (you can just fire away willy nilly until you hit).[/LIST]
Huh? ok...as far as select->shoot->select->shoot are you actually waiting for the roid to be fully exposed before you start shooting or something?
clearly cargo scoop wouldn't fit what you describe and it's garbage anyway
If you're in a high sec system it's common to have security show up rather than pirates...I spent 2 hrs Void Opal mining yesterday and was circled the entire time by two Search and rescue ships... an Asp and an Anaconda!

I play in Solo. I'm afraid of Open and all the engineered player ships.![]()
Well that's easy! If you want more danger, just switch modes. Mods, you can close the thread now, Op should be satisfied!

Scratches his head... No, I thought you were risk adverse by flying in Solo... I suggested that the easy fix if you wanted more danger was that you should fly in open... I have no issue with more danger, but I would prefer that gameplay be attached to it rather than the usual "lets throw a few NPC pirates at it" and done recipe...Why are you against danger? All games involve the risk of losing. That's the fun. Without danger, everything is just a task or chore. And pew pew is not the only form of danger.
I say, Make Elite Dangerous Again![]()
You joke, but in a forum I reside with this very avatar I had a miner tell me the system he was mining. after a bit of chit chat i posted this (with the italics and bold and emoji as shown):
And he still kept telling me his plans.
I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe, all the regulars were posting rofl, and this guy was oblivious. I went to the system but he had finished in time.
From some other guy I also got a friend request and msg to wing up and mine, based off some (legit) posts I made in another forum and i'm trying to decide if accepting it would be too seal clubbey or not.
You really are unimaginative.Scratches his head... No, I thought you were risk adverse by flying in Solo... I suggested that the easy fix if you wanted more danger was that you should fly in open... I have no issue with more danger, but I would prefer that gameplay be attached to it rather than the usual "lets throw a few NPC pirates at it" and done recipe...
It's just like the trade missions and incoming enemy alerts... Elite anacondas... Check. 4 pirates incoming... Check. Boring... Check. It doesn't matter what I'm flying it almost always 4 anacondas after me. Yes, I always take on Elite Anacondas with my Keelie... In the event that it isn't 4 Annies, it will be 4 of the same ship types. Boring. Check.
Also when I do pirating, I make it my job to kill any and all pilots who give in to my demands. I teach a lesson to deny me, a criminal, what I want. If they refuse to give me what I want, be it fight me or run away, then I never bother them again. You're welcome, no thanks are needed for doing my best to ruin piracy!As a fellow Code member you know if you ask for some cargo and he gives it up you won't have to club the seal.
