Hi

just bought a ASP explorer for mining. Wondering if anyone can help me or link me with a set up that would be best for mining + shields.

Money isnt an object :)

thanks for help in advance

One of my fav mining ships by the by. Put your shields on one of the 3 slots. Cargo in the 5 and 6 slot 96T total. A3 refinery, A3 collector limpet, A2 collector limpet (or A2 fuel scoop if your planing on running to different systems.) And the most important A1 prospector limpet. Also use 2 of the size 2 mining laz, then I would always go with 2 pulse laz (outer mounts) and 2 multi-cannons (inner mounts)! Hope this helps and good luck getting to the 3 P's!

I run without Shields equipped when I mind on any ship don't use any weapons because you won't need them you fill it up to at least a hundred tons of cargo just keep it real light and equip Auto docking is a nice and light even with a hundred tons cargo with an ass you could still boost out of Harm's Way try to find a red area that is fairly close to the station not too far away I try to stay under five thousand light-seconds from the nearest station is not jump to the next system which has the closest which would with the closest distance to where your mining at

If I can gather at least 15 million credits during my current exploring expedition I'm thinking of buying a mining ship and giving mining a try for the first time. I'm reading this thread with interest because I like to do just about every activity in an Asp-X if possible. (If I don't have enough cash I might do a test run with an old T6 I have sitting in port) The balance between sizing cargo, refinery, collectors and prospectors is a mystery to me, and I see some alternate suggestions here. With the way I like to outfit my Asps my main choice seems to be between: 4B refinery and 3A collector limpets...or 5A collector limpets and 3A refinery? I have no idea what the trade-off is there. The following is what I was thinking of before I found this thread, and the non-mining elements of the build are my standard Asp-X outfitting which I won't be changing: http://coriolis.io/outfit/asp/04A5A....Iw18WQ==.EwBhGYVEEYbM4mTvMQ==?bn=miningasp4b

I'm not too into blowing stuff up. Just burning holes in rocks and collecting the shiny bits. ;)

I guess the current tipping point for me is that Coriolis shows the refinery as having no weight (?), whereas the 3A vs 5A collector limpet controller is 8 tons vs 32 tons. I guess I'll go for the lighter option
