I'm now a dedicated miner. After I mined a dbl Painite hot spot a couple time, I was hooked. In the first 7 days (after RL demands), I was able to casually earn a billion.
I found taking a pair of 3A collector controllers and one 5C collector controller, I was able to speed up the process (very good - RL keeps me from grinding too hard).
A strange thing I noticed the past few payoffs; it seems I alway get 770,xxx per unit regardless of what Inara says. I now refresh Inara before I head out to sell and I like going to a place that pays the highest which many times is ~789k/unit or higher most of the time but I always get 770k plus a few hundred (not exact each time but close). Is this a bug? Has anyone seen this too?
Now I think I can earn enough for a FC if they ever hit the store shelves. But now I have a way to rebuy a couple of ships I sold that i really like, so all is good. Mining is good and my bank account is growing.
