So what's your average? I've blown them with as little as 3. I think I usually crack them with 4 unless I screw up... Usually no more than 5 on a metallic roid.

For the most part, on faster spinning roads you have to close the cargo sometimes to line up a shot. It's biggest problem is with the location of the hard points.
I used to love mining in it, but for deep core mixed with mining lasers it does ok, but I prefer the Kraits.

Me, I love mining, but I get tired of trying to fill up large ships. My T-10 is great for laser-mining RES sites. It fills up quickly, and I get to kill stuff along the way.
For everything else though, I go for conservative cargo space, speed, and maneuverability.
The Krait Mk II turns out to be perfect for the job.
I will say that in VR, there is nothing like mining in a T-10. That big, open view canopy is marvelous.

I mean, have you met the Type 10?Oddly enough this configuration just about fits into the Crusader with a choice of either a shield or an SLF hangar. It's going to be very humorous if this Alliance ship turns out to be a better miner than the original job it was designed for
Pretty much conclusion... I had to try it combined, but it takes forever it seems. I did come back with a crap load of painite!
I enjoy deep core more, I love the hunt and cracking roids, too much fun.
OP, you forgot the Clipper. That can be used instead of a type 7 too.
You wanna know the funniest part. In RES zones, when you run into a miner, they are almost always in a T series ship, or a small pad ship like a cobra. Fdev apparently forgot they did that, so now my immersion is broken.

I wonder how a Corvette will do as a mining ship - it's got the space, modules, hardpoints and power... I can see that working quite well....
I might give it a go - once I return from my accidental 200 jump trip into the unknown...
(I really want misjumps in the game... my god the salt... imagine the salt!)

This doesn't work.
Absolutely, haven't had any problems so far and i love the drift when sliding between roids, it's what the T10 was made for as far as i'm concerned
Yeah, not even I can complain, and I've had some of the worst mining runs ever before the new system.
Though I wouldn't mind being able to use the mining laser for surface deposits too, so my Python could keep it's 2 weapons and still gather "everything" xD
But then again, a cracked open egg is more interesting and worthwhile than gnawing on countless roids just for the heck of it.
Yesterday I made 14.5 mil with Grandidierite. And I was just looking for stuff for the CG, now I'm like "screw the CG".
I'm really enjoying the new mining mechanics and it feels like it's a bit of a challenge while at the same time being worthwhile which has to be good. I just hope they don't "adjust" the values too much.
Finding and cracking cores has a good blend of learned systems and a bit of experience/intuition based gameplay.
Not everyone will like it but compared to the previous mining mechanic, it's great. I can now actually see myself keeping a dedicated mining vessel for when I fancy the solitude of roid cracking.
My main moan... FSS and mining update should have been part of season 1 instead of CQC, powerplay and all the other guff they brought in back then....still better late than never I guess.
