Mining fisures and sensors!?

I'm doing void opal mining to get big bucks. I'm running something like this: https://s.orbis.zone/2y3m

My question is, is the pulse wave scanner in anyway effected by the sensors on the ship. Would long range help get better fidelity on the color scheme of the orange asteroids to tell if it's a fisured one or not? Not sure if I want beyond d sensors. But if it can make me see farther than the current ones I would take it in a heartbeat. I'm in a slower ship so it woudl help alot to see ahead a litte more.

If it's effected by sensors would it be better to go with long range A or wide? I could see either being useful potentially. Has anyone done testing on this. There seems to be layers of visuals as you get closer. If this is determined in part by the sensors it could help get improve sensors and see it earlier on slower ships.

Pretty sure the PWS is its own thing, not related to the ship’s sensors, and therefore not (currently) affected by any Engineering.

You really need 640t of opals? In a T9 the first charge will be ready to go off before you’ve had chance to set the second... 😂

In all seriousness you may want to go with a more nimble and speedy ship and work with smaller loads. It’s not that the T9 can’t do it, it’s just going to be a slog with the slowing down/speeding up/drifting into roids/drifting into your collectors.....and only 2 collectors, even longer....
Have at least 4 collectors on the go!

If you want to go core mining with a bit of style, try an Orca 😈!
It’s an absolute joy to fly in! Very nimble and quick and has awesome panoramic views for pulse scanning...

I was trying to get a 1 billion credit run of opals. 8)

I'm actually getting faster at it. And you can be suprisingly fast at setting charges. The only problem is probably the lack of collector limpets. It's the minimum to not loose any on a maximum fissure I think. I was going to upgrade to a cutter later potentially.

I think I got it down to only needing around 32-48 fissures. I'm getting better at finding them. They seem to always be within a certain distance of each other. But they can be hard to spot.

I was hoping something would help see the details a little faster.
