Why nerf mining, Doing rough maths trading is now 100's % better than mining prepatch? Are we to become traders in order to benefit from this patch.
Trading may have just become the new money making meta...

I fondly remember my old rare goods runs in my old Type-6.
Mining wasn't nerfed, the hotspot contents were just re-rolled. Cash cows disappeared from previouis places and will emerge somewhere else.
I have a spot i go to not the triple and it usually takes me 20-25mins to fill up Keelback. I ran out of limpets and only half filled up after an hour and a half, dunno about you but that's a nerf. Even with 1 more material added it shouldn't be this damaging.
The maximum amount bought is set by the owner and is also shown on INARA. You can't sell more.
It's contingent on state. Note it's normal commodities, so not as prone to wild swings based on demand like LTDs.
The change was what each hotspot provided. It wasn't done on purpose as they added Tritium to the pool of materials and that messed up the order of things. Had to be done, not a nerf.
Just keep an eye on http://edtools.ddns.net/miner for new hotspots
Did you check that price at the carrier itself by landing and using Carrrier Services? I ask because as I said just above, INARA was reporting 334k from a carrier, but the carrier had no buy or sell options in its Commodities Market -- nothing was listed in either page.
I returned to the game yesterday after 3.5 years away. I went from 15 million to 172 million using the asp explorer I was in by doing low temperature diamonds in Borann.
Tonight I went to make more money in Borann, and spent 6 hours getting a grand total of about 32 diamonds or void crystals.
Did mining in Borann change? I notice there is no longer 3 overlapping diamond spots - is it routine for them to move? Anyone else having LTD issues?
When the game had simpler and more balanced combat, economies and occupations?
Yes, and it was expected to change. Adding Tritium to rings necessitated a recalculation of hotspots throughout the galaxy. Time to go triple-spot hunting.
ah, cool. Thank you.
Nice. Just made a nice 58 million on one run in my Cutter. I'd say it's a load easier then LTD or Sothis. Buy, 6 jumps, sell. Dragged 12 units of God_water from ShinDez out to help offset the price of buying tritium.
Don't want a carrier, and have more then I need by a longshot, but you never know. We'll see if the markets sort themselves out.

The most extreme prices being reported on Inara at Carriers (some in excess of 400k/t) will presumably be players transferring money between accounts (either friends, or alt accounts) by manipulating buy/sell prices. If you show up and try to sell there, you will probably find that you are unable to dock (though it would be rather amusing if the Carrier owner forgot to set docking restrictions...).
Best legit price (from stations) seems to be around 85k/t. Still good money to be made.

Same at Khan Dock, Gakia (now 41,057)
In Coni?
Who knows? Maybe people would be on the whole less accepting of engineering as it exists now.
