Dear Frontier,
Can you sort out the mining, please, because at the moment it is rubbish. I accept you needed to adjust it, and bring down the profits, I'm fine with that, but leaving aside the continuing farce of the "Behind you!" pantomime with the Pulse Wave Analyser, what is really irritating me is that this splendid mining equipment, you have presented us with, doesn't actually work very well. Well, that's a bit unfair, all the pointy bits work fine, it's the "indicatiors" that I have a problem with. Probably best if I list them.
Sometimes the yellow ring indications generated by the Detailed Surface Scanner don't display at all, so you have no idea of the size of the area or if it overlaps with another. Why?
Very often an area designated as Void Opal rich with the Detailed Surface Scanner (just for example, and for an incoming pun) will seemingly be devoid of Opals! But more plentiful in other minerals. Why?
When you're trawling through the asteroid fields (and you're actually getting ANY indications from the Reverso-Vision PWA) the brightness now seems irrelevant to the yield, or if it has a core, or if it corresponds to the alleged contents of the field. I end up, after some hours of largely fruitless searching, thinking, oh well, I'll be out of prospector drones soon, so I can do something else. Why?
It would be great if you could sort this out, because I used to enjoy mining, it was a nice relaxing past time with some variety, some skill, and a nice chilled way to spend time, now it makes me cross and frustrated, and it's not about the money, it's about the kit not working, and the feeling that my time is not being respected.
I would appreciate some comment because this has been an issue for quite a while now.
P.S. Might the phantom sub surface deposits that you sometimes see floating in space after you move away from a prospected asteroid be related to the issue?
P.P.S. Still love you, man.
