Feedback on mining in 3.0

Yep.

All the voices in my head agree with you as well.

Have you tried cutting down on the number of avatars?

When your material bins are full, they are still collected by your limpets. So you have to manually ignore them.

I have one concern about the ignore feature.

The ignore function only works by selecting a fragment or canister. This is fine, but to un-ignore something, you also need to select a fragment. So it would be very easy to forget that you previously ignored a material or mineral because you can't see them on the scanner.

I think ignore/unignore should be added to the materials screen.

I have added this to the "Bad" list in the OP. I'll make a suggestion thread at some stage too.

I used to really love mining up a full hold, and then roaming nearby systems, going station to station and dodging pirates, looking for missions where I could sell my haul. Really awesome to feel like a spaceborne wandering-merchant like that, trying to balance the low-profit of selling now as a commodity vs the high-reward time investment (and danger, from pirates) of trying my luck at another station. I would love to see that come back.

I've not tried out 3.0 mining yet, but I'm all ready to in my newly-awesome T-7. I would LOVE to find that the mining speed of small mining lasers / mining lances has been increased to the weapon-normal of 75% as effective as a medium. That's the only thing holding back the T-7 now from being a top-notch mining ship. (and getting it's 5th hardpoint enabled)

Me too. I'd hit the Una / 20 Ophiuchi / LTT 6603 area and usually find home for most of my ore, and I loved it. Straight up role playing wise, it felt good, like I was helping the economies, etc.
