"Go mining but don't go mining. If you have to use the PWS then use it but don't use the PWS. Fly forwards, use the PWS then fly backwards but don't use the PWS. Use Lasers. But if you have a carrier use subsurface missiles. Don't use subsurface missiles. Use core mining if you fly backwards but don't use the PWS. But use the PWS if you want to. Don't use limpets. If you are Imperial, go mining. Everyone in independent systems stay at home. But use the PWS. Unless you have to then don't use the PWS."Someone told me Boris was in charge of fixing the PWS.
Can someone Fix Pulse wave Analyzer please

NO ONE WANTS TO USE THE PWA INCORRECTLY...... its a complete waste of time and not efficient. Deep core mining is no longer viable, there are better ways to make money...... try to keep up

dang it i'm too late
The proposed workaround wasn't so much "LETS STICK A BANDAID ON IT INSTEAD OF FIXING IT" - because incase you hadnae noticed, that purple caped knight with an imperial emblem emblazoned shield isn't standard Frontier Developments issued staff member forum avatar, so guess what sonny - I'm not a frontier employee, so I cannae fix your damned scanner. I can, however, present creative workarounds, and kindly took the time to think up one and share it with y'all.
As for the tone I used, the condescension is an appropriate reaction for a lazy whine thread started by someone that thinks a sardonically delivered suggestion on how to ameliorate one's problems is "Epitome of what's wrong with the human race". But given you either couldnae be bothered to go look for the latest info on the PWA bug, or obstinently refused to ignore that info, it should be of little surprise to me that you would be so capricious as to sneer at my suggestion - with or without its sarcastic wrapper.
I'm not much of a miner, sure, hanging in ice/rocky rings is cool because they are pretty but I do not find genuinely mining enjoyable, so I don't do much of it. As such I am amazed to see someone of your intellect fall into the "I mine almost exclusively through necessity and not for fun" trap? The two things you acquire from mining are materials and credits, plenty of other ways to get both in-game. For example, if you are mining to stock up on chemicals, deep core mining isn't the most efficient way to get them, laser strip mining is faster - which is basically flying through a ring lasering every rock you can and having your swarm of collector limpets collect everything. A slightly more engaging way is to run passenger missions to surface beacons at fumeroles, ice geisers etc, then you scan the beacon, land, drop the SRV, go harvest that site for all the chrystaline shards, piscoeus cobbles etc, You realise there's only a handful of "models" of deep core asteroids, at this time I cannot recall is it 1 or is it 4, so you can learn to recognise them in the passing.
If it credits you are after, Elite's economy is awash with credits, there is no need or necessity, play the GAME, have FUN, don't turn it into a job, the only two activities I can think of in Elite that yo don't make money at are PvP and maybe Thargoid Hunting - but if you are good AX and hit don't pick up too much damage against higher tier interceptors I think even that slightly more than "washes its face"?
I mine only for unlocking engineering and I own a carrier so I thought it'd be useful to know how to put fuel in it in emergencies
I don't do it for a main pass time and so the pws being broken isn't a priority for me. But I understand why it's frustrating for someone for whom it is.
Youre slow, Ive posted this a few times now, this isnt about anything other then keeping the problem up front and in view. I am not sneering at your suggestion, i simple dont want it. I just want the PWA to be fixed. simple. no work around, no enabling lazy behavior.
Also i have another fix for you, turn the PWA around.
HEADS UP ILL PROBABLY POST AGAIN WITHIN THE WEEK.

Is that all? You should try Exploration, it's been 2 years.
Well please don't post another thread on it, as making multiple threads on the same subject really isn't necessary and will probably be closed as duplicates.
Mining threads crack me up, 10/10, would read again
I bet you're great fun at parties.
I bet you're great fun at parties.
I would as well but I would not have time to play the game there are so many of them
That was the kid that was doing the labelling on the claymore mines. Ended up pulling out of 'Nam.
The Pulse Wave Sanatiser? Come on FD, Let's "GET MINING DONE" :-/Someone told me Boris was in charge of fixing the PWS.
FD want people bounty hunting right now.
I'd have felt so much more relaxed if they'd put: "THIS SIDE TOWARD ENEMY". I can see myself now, out in the jungles of South East Asia, not being able to get a wink of sleep over it. I'd have asked the Sergeant, but he is soooooo scary!
