3 players experience with mining.

Hi.

We decided to give mining a go in a wing 2 days ago.

Here are the results:

Group play, solo instance.
No bugs or other problems.

Group play, 3 players instanced in a wing.
1. At first no probs, had a good time voice chatting over elites own wing tool.

2. Then my mates started complaining, the charges for exploding astroids exploded before they could attatch, almost killing them.

3. Then I got the black adder msg. And dc.

4. Re-logged, now blastor would not shoot of chunks, they just disappeared, my wing found them drifting in another part of the field.

5. Now my charges also started exploding before they attacthed.

6. Those that worked showed wrong yield.

7. After this trying to crack them all failed.

So, basicly don't play in a wing, while mining.

Have fun.

Yes sadly even before the September update core mining had a lot of issues in multiplayer. Not fun to escort friends if their seismic charges seemingly detonate on contact instantly, and then the asteroid explodes a minute later with a bad yield.

First time I went mining back in the day was winged and for some Alliance community goal.

The new mining seems a lot more geared for solitary wealth creation.

Don't core mine in wings. Laser mining works great in wings.
