So after finally getting back from my round-the-galaxy expedition, I decided that while I like my solitude, exploring isn't super duper lucrative. So I refitted my anaconda as a mining ship...
I've had mixed success, so far. I made about 2mil with the refined materials I had gathered by the time my last limpets went poof (they were dropping like flies at one point!) and I've started getting the hang of playing with those seismic space beatboxes that stopped obi wan kenobi chasing me that one time...
Ahem, anyway. Oh I've forgotten what one of my questions was.
The second oquestion though (or was it the first?) is: I'm sitting looking at surface deposits, They're on my scanner, they're targeted, I'm turning them and the area all around them red with my mining lasers, but no fragments are dropping. The asteroid isn't depleted, but for whatever reason, none of the surface deposits would give anything up.
Having forgotten my second question then, I suppose I'll ask about my limpets. Why, suddenly, did I end up with my limpets dropping like flies? It almost got as bad as a "programming limpet, limpet failed, programming limpet, limpet failed" type situation.
I've only ever done 5 minutes of mining before, a couple of years ago, so I'm very new to mining at the minute .
