mining

Hey FDevs, The LTD mining is way too overpowered and it renders all other activities to be mostly useless from the in-game perspective. Right now there are two different issues with mining: 1. Respawn bugs on re-login and even when flying away (~25km) on a launched fighter (while the ship is...

After the so-called "nerf, 2-3 hours of mining: This is just silly. FDev, have you lost control of your game? Are you going to pull a Diablo III on us and inflate the heck out of in-game prices next? Edit: FDev could avoid going the inflation route by adding supply\demand curves that squash...

Firstly I do love this game, however I have become very disillusioned with what currently is on offer. After playing all of the previous incarnations across nearly every platform and backing the original kickstarter it has become yet another general building simulator, similar in many ways...

Mining fighters would be another very fun way to mine asteroids. There could be two types of mining fighters: A laser mining fighter with a prospector limpet controller and a mining laser. I dont laser mine myself, but it would be incredibly useful to scout out available asteroids for mining...

To contrast my other thread of mine about the lovely pirating opportunities that Borann brought to the game, I'm now encountering one of the major flaws of Borann (and perhaps mining in general) - the devaluation of credits. Things that used to make feel like I accomplished something no longer...

Fleet Carriers seem to come with quite a few benefit as well as close-to-crippling costs. This is especially the case for explorers that will have to seriously top up the onboard credit account to be able to take them anywhere for prolonged periods of time. One solution often suggested is to...

Hello everyone. I wonder, 1. Which mining style is the best/fastest for LTD. Core or laser ? 2. Im core miner, sometimes I do optimal yield successfully but when asteroid explodes it says optimal yield range exceeded and poor fragment. WHY ?! 3. You know there is a Surface Deposits that we...

When mine planetary rings for materials, make them persistent. I know it would take weeks month for an entire ring to be depleted but it should. We would have to find other rings once we suck it dry and its depleted. This would be how it would be in real life. This would stop double and...

This is not meant to be a post on the costs or upkeep of an FC. I want a more optimistic ideal about them. Something we know is that FCs can jump 500ly at a time. And they can be modified tailored to Exploration, Mining, Bounty Hunting. Etc. Where do you want to park yours? I’m thinking of...

I'm currently trying to unlock Selene Jean, and as you know, she requires a donation of 10 units of painite. "No big deal," I thought, so I equipped my Python with mining lasers, limpets, refinery, the lot, and searched for painite hotspots (using the known method of DSS-ing metallic or metal...

It sure would be nice if we could engineer our mining lasers, etc. Selene Jean would be the perfect engineer for this. I personally would like to light weight my lasers and charges for my explorer ship, but efficient mods, range mods, "damage" mods (making size 1 mining lasers more viable), etc...

Hi All, Here's something we were thinking of discussing on Lave Radio this week. As you all know, Credits from Mining are put into the Trade rank and we all know that with the huge amount of credits you get from breaking rocks, it kind of makes the Trade Elite Rank, effectively meaningless...

I'd love to see a fighter ( I call it a fighter because it gets launched from a fighter bay) with mining equipment. Deep core mining requires a ship that's agile enough to shift and circle around a rock and punch resource-clusters off it or place seismic charges. Ships with huge cargo potential...

BACKGROUND: For those who dont know, large-scale mining nerfs will be coming in the January 2020 update, with sell prices being decimated. We just dont know how bad the Nerf will be yet, but most likely it will be BAD. Watch DTEA's video : Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rs2qmeawFY...

Any one know why i am lossing millions a trip selling miterials after mining. Am i missing some sort of tax. I lost 90mil last run. Any help would be great thanks.

So i have mined out 242 void opals, in two groups, first one was 87, and the second one was 155, on the first sale i was sitting at 14 mil and for some reason after sale it replaced that 14 mil for the sale price of 144 mil. I thought it was a one time glitch till i sold the 155. I had 30 mil...

Ive just started void mining with the ASP, the first time was fine but since then the limpets seem to be glitching out, aswell as the Void opels themselves. The limpets either expire when returning to the ship or just dont work at all... So i then tried good old manual collection, the opels seem...

First, I've noticed that the number of rocks with cores have dwindled. Former pristine spots in and around Colonia are not yielding what they were. So, I switched my loadout for some weapons, and extra defense. Good call. Because, I'm getting mobbed by groups of 3-4 engineered NPC's, even...
