Another beautiful, wonderful, totally enjoyable and absolutely spectacular day with no hint of stress or frustration whilst playing Elite: Dangerous..

[NorthernDevo]

VO mining - I outfitted Xeno's Paradox for it, figuring I'd better boost my bank account now before they nerf prices. I kitted the old girl out, scoped out the high-buying stations, and began searching around for pristine rings.

Hey - I've got time on my hands; let's do a thorough job here. I visited every ring in the area, looking for overlaps and painite spots - I've got beams as well. I took about an hour or so to chart everything in the area. Finally satisfied, I locate the largest VO spot, drop in and start pulsing....
...for bloody ever.
It's just the way it goes - you can look for a while then find a bunch of VO rocks in a close area...and that's what happened. I identified 4 glowing brightly all within probe range - nice!

So - set my charges, back off, and enjoy the explosion as my first 'roid goes boom.
And...
uh...
AAAARGH!

I forgot the refinery.
Again.

God I love this game....

LOL. I've heard of forgetting limpets but no refinery? And for a second time? Pure class!

We are pleased to inform you that you have been awarded the
Order of the FacePalm 1st Class.

See this is why I just keep one ship outfitted for mining, so I don't need to worry about all that. I just hop into Deep Space Mine and get to work.

You're just fickle, man.

Too bad the module rats don't/can't exist.

Maybe mining is not really your game mate!

I've forgotten limpets more than once. You'd think that once would be enough, but I'm an overachiever.

 

[Bigmaec]

Classic fail.
Happens to everyone.
Except me.
I never forgot my refinery.
Promise.

They even added a sign outside most stations. "Don't forget Limpets!"

False, I just don't want to move things around. Purpose-built ships have made life easier, though having two Corvettes is expensive.

I usually remember just as i hit the launch button!

On a side note our ships are magically filled with infinite probes within a class 1 DSS.... so you know..... #justsayin

Well, one is for exploration, which can go for a long, long time... and the other is Limpets.

Love the ship's name. My first dedicated mining ship was named "Jus Mining My Business"

As for the OP, yea I've totally never traveled 500+ ly to a spot I found while out exploring and gotten there to realize I had no refinery. Yea not me

yeah but how much more enjoyable would it be

Between 0 and Null.

So I take it this ship won’t make The Sisko’s Ship of the year awards shortlist....
