Ok so after a good few months in this wonderful game universe, I have decided to try mining.
I am after afew tips. I have done the basic mining training scenario with the Palladium collection in a Sidey with twin mining lasers.
I note that the mining lasers only deploy in Analysis mode. Despite this, is it still possible to use mining lasers on ships? In the original game 'Elite' in the 80s, Mining lasers were the most powerful weapons...
I collected several Palladium fragments. The tutor was saying about filling up the 'hopper', but every time I looked the hopper was empty. I mined four chunks of Palladuim and the inventory showed one unit of Palladium in the hold; fair enough. But I didn't touch the hopper even once.
Sorry but the game is not all that clear about the hopper and the equipment like that; I remember in my early days with this game, mining all sorts of different materials in one asteroid area and it kept saying the hopper was full, or something like that. Couldn't collect more than one material at a time, it seemed.
Could someone please give me some hints on this stuff? And this is before I have even touched on analysis scanners and pulse generators and stuff....
Thanks
