So... Uhhh... Core mining in a wing works now!

I did a few tests, and multiple commanders can prospect and place charges on a single core, and it just works. All the commanders can see the fissures if they placed a limpet, and the charges add up, so you could theoretically crack a core instantly with two people firing a full charge into a low fissure.

Now we just need to make it so if two people place charges, the core yields 35-40t, to match the mechanics of wing laser mining, plus a little extra to reward the coordination.

I don't believe you. In the entire lifetime of ED, nothing has ever worked and FDev have never fixed anything. True story.

How I can still Wing Mine

Ok, My running experimentation notes can be found here -->>> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/mining-in-wing-bugged-seismic-charges-not-functioning-properly.517845/post-8192159 Here is what I have found that works the most consistently. Have SCL Turrets. Prospect the rock with which ever...

Reminds me of wing CZ missions - I never completed one of the larger ones or participated in them when winged up, but made hundreds of millions cashing in on them. I believe that's still in the game (I wiped my credit balance several times as earning cash like that just didn't sit well with me in the end... As in I didn't actually deserve it).

You know two players can search twice the area of a single-player locating Astroids, so I have to say no also.

In the thread I link, I describe how only ONE ship needs to place a prospector and the other ship can target a fissure.
There is already a little extra reward if the ships make the sale of the refined material while in wing at the same station.
NOpe,, a rock is a rock is a rock. mining in wing should not make the rocks into super rocks. Wing mining should simply make collection/harvesting easier and faster.

if a rock is a rock, then why does laser mining give double the yield if two people do it?

FDev could have gone two ways:
Either each miner gathers half the number of chunks as a single player would have and then both miners share the full profits from selling all the cargo equally or, increase the chunk numbers to double and give each miner his own, equal share assuming each miner collects the same number of half the available chunks.
They both earn the same amount of profit as a single miner using both methods but, either method still takes the same amount of time and that is what FDev wants, for us all to spend time playing.
Also, assuming one miner's ship can hold all of the collected chunks, conceivably one miner could break the wing, gank the other player and take the second miner's chunks for double the profit.

Just too bad core mining isn't as profitable as it once was.January update really made core mining a waste of time.

Surely if core mining, even after the update, is a waste of time, then in your eyes 99% of the game's activity are a waste of time?

i thought you were going to say "now all we need is C1 seismic charges so everyone can join in" :(
