Well I couldn't live without a Mamba. I haven't tried core mining in one, but I did it in a FDL once. Not very efficient, but "stylish" and definitely possible. Might have to try it in a Mamba before I decide
I would be very interested in this too! I would guess that an abrasion blaster might be the best bet, although I would definitely bring a mining laser too. The outcrops look a lot like surface deposits. This would open up a lot of possibilities.
I love my Sidewinder... I've been flying it around engineering it lately. It handles great in SC and fly amazing with dirty drive performance enhanced thrusters. I'd struggle for both jump range and any shuttling mining though... I might have to settle for my Vulture.Well I couldn't live without a Mamba.

For me, it wouldn't be a joke. I love my Mamba, whereas any other ship is a tool. Some of them are very good tools, but the Mamba has some sort of character and soul that no other ship has.

I just came back from a couple of trips to the crystalline shards, but I was considering rigging up my Phantom with some of the potentially useful hardpoints. When mining them from the SRV the tool you use is closest to a multicannon. I also need to figure out if limpets can collect the mats once they are on the ground. I need to engineer some more limpet controllers, and trade some of the raw mats I've collected to make room for more, but if I go and test it out, I will post my findings here
I was thinking about testing the limpets ability to pick up stuff from the ground, and since I have plenty of raw mats now, I think I'll go to Dav's Hope and see what that might bring. Perfect opportunity to test the idea with the limpets I guess, and alternatively I have found that driving the SRV with DAoff and not doing too many forward/backward/forward's keeps more of the semi digested food in my stomach. Yuck, that SRV does make the function of your digestion a little too obvious for my taste
That is some weird weapon setup you've got there!
Generally your engineering is interesting. Thanks for sharing.)

I would say yes, especially on a ship with plenty of utility slots.
Oh crikey yes!
With a resistance build, you only need 3 for max resistance. In a Res a vette should walk it anyway
Yes, the only issue my Vette has in HazRES is running out of fuel!
✌ Would have been fun though. Next must be to blast some mats from the surface in the SRV to see if I can have limpets pick up those. If that doesn't work, I'll return the limpets where I bought them. Oh come to think of it, I forgot to bring limpets so I had to synthesize them. The high price of stepping away from routine...
