Commanders. I need to refine 500 tonnes of ore for whats-her-chops engineer. What's the fastest way of doing that ?
appreciate your help Commanders o7

Many thanks for the comprehensive reply Commander Lizard!
I was hoping to scrape by with my trusty explorer Asp "The Golden Torc".
Looks like I'll have to dig deep and buy a Python....
Better get back to Lidpar and grab some more bounties....

Please explain?(everything above is just because every extra mining laser doesn´t stack up to mining speed.)
I do my mining in a Federal Drop Ship.
This is my Federal Mining Ship: https://coriolis.edcd.io/outfit/fed...m020404030504B21v2b5dC0C0P4.Iw18eQ==.Aw18eQ==.
I hope you have made an error in coriolis. You have a class 1B controller in a class 5 slot. So you'd only get a total of 3 active limpets where you could have 5. B controllers aren't much use for mining as the limpets don't last long enough. Use A class, or D if you are short on credits or low on power.I have a T7 with 224 cargo (2 limpet controllers (4 limpets), 9-bin refinery and prospector (1 limpet)), and 4 mining lasers (very odd "pattern" on them).

Than being said, I took a break from it and unlocked the Dweller, so I know have a G5 Distributor on the T7. You can get about 20-25% yield knocked out of it before you need to recharge. That also paces nicely with 4 limpets picking it all up.
Not sure what you are saying here. Painite is metallic rings. It has nothing to do with being pristine. Pristine is best for all ring typesI mine in icy rings, because sometimes you can get a high % water/etc rock/ice cube, that refines into tonnage quickly. I'd reserve the pristine stuff for the painite.

You also have too many lasers. It would be more efficient to have just two small lasers on the T7. Even engineered the distributor won't power 4.

(Pristine > Major > Common > Depleted).
Also, ice rings, even pristine, are never very high in anything. You will be lucky to get a 30% water roid in pristine ice, but you can get 70% of a mineral in pristine metallic.
(for ore % Metallic > Metal Rich/Rocky > Icy)
Just to be complete. You can also mine for materials. Pristine or Depleted give the same results, but Metal Rich is the place to be.
