Ship Builds & Load Outs Have Anaconda - don't know what to do with it

Hi

Because 2.1 is iminent and we will soon have bookmarks I decided to collate all of my ships and it turned out I had enough for an Anaconda - thing is I don't know what to do with it. I have two other ships - FdL and smuggler Cobra. I also have about 60 mil in the bank.

I usually game with a mate who is more mining orientated than me. What could I do with it and do I need to fit it any differently?

Thanks!

Awesome! How long do the shields last? Do you notice any serious penalties when you are full of ore?

Also, any tips for mining i.e. collector controls?

Thanks!

I've never had a problem except the one time I went AFK and found a fed dropship hammering the last of my shields. Escaped on 80% hull. I will note I went pristine mining with this build for osmium and Pantite where there are little to no NPC's anyway. (HIP 23585)

Mining hints and tips from when I asked: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=186391

Edit: Just found my old build, try this instead with 5A collector limpets, it's more optimised: (http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=706,5...a9Y8SCgD88I,0Bk0AA0AA0AA08c5Vk5Vk0bg4_w7RA5uk)

Do note the last time I was out mining was before 2.0 (Been out exploring since December).
That and the upcoming 2.1 changes may mean you need a bigger shield but I don't think so, just do the usual of keeping a system ready so you can use the "select next route target" for hyperspace if you need a quick getaway.

No serious penalties for being full since I think it assumes you are anyway (don't quote me on that)... The only thing is if you are in a Res site everyone wants a piece.

I do also believe collector limpet speed is getting a nerf in 2.1 but it should still be ok.

Blimey! That's a huge difference in spec

6 limpets!

Is this how you set up your fire group then?

Grp1
Primary - mining laser; Secondary - limpets?

Grp2
Primary - guns; Secondary - prospector?

Thanks for the link! Good read.

Yeah to be honest you need to tinker with it yourself. I found 6 limpets optimal for me to mine an asteroid and they then gathered the materials whilst I first off my prospectors. And I didn't miss the cargo space I lost since it took a good hour + to fill that anyway.

My fire groups were actually:

Grp1:
weapons - mining primary and lasers secondary

Grp 2:
Prospected primary and collectors secondary

In general you'll only have to press lasers a few times since turrets auto fire if you leave them on target mode.
Similar with collectors you fire them once each time you enter a RES and rarely have to replace them unless they fly into an asteroid :p
