Mining isnt good!!!!Ok so I THOUGHT

I've setup an Adder for mining, and the misplaced cargo scoop placement means it's infuriating trying to scoop you have to aim off the bottom of the MFD display to pickup fragments!
 
I'm kind of hoping for a drone that I can send out to collect an ore fragment, while I continue to mine.
I second that. There should be a Fetcher-Bot you could buy for one of the Utility Mounts. Would make mining a viable option even for the bigger ships. So you've just blasted off some chunks of 'roidal rock, target the first, open the cargo-scoop and release bot. A few seconds later it deposits the rock in your cargo-hold via the scoop. Target next rock and rinse-repeat. Could also be used for collecting cargo-canisters floating about naturally.

As for the timer on rocks and cargo-items floating about, that makes sense. Imagine the radar clutter if they'd just hang around until you exited the instance. So I say that is fine as is.
 
The speed that the ore's degrade could be slowed down some, but not a lot. I like that it pushes me to grab 'em as fast as possible, and it needs to be done fast in order make credits at a decent rate. If they're gonna buff anything in mining I think it should be making platinum/paladium/gold more common. I can make about 350k/hr in my Cobra.
 
Puts my 3 million into perspective!

crazy isn't it.

I've got 2 cobras (A-class kitted one combat, one exploration) and a Type 6, and about 4m in credits....and i play a LOT.

i think there are people who literally just grind and grind and grind for hours on end...

Like I said, I've made all my credits from mining, I don't really consider it grinding, I'm just having fun and relaxing, I'm not trying to get a certain rank or a certain amount of credits, just enjoying mining. :)
 
I mine for my credits as well. Very easy to make money with and hardly an AI pirate able to take on my Cobra. I also mine in a pristine metallic planetary ring not a belt. So its easy to find huge amounts of platinum and palladium. You're welcome to send me a friends request in game and come mine with me. There's plenty out here to go around. My game name is the same as here.
 
I'll mine when we can do it as a fleet and share profits.. Dedicated drilling ships, dedicated scoopers, dedicated protection. Also a fast way to move the goods to a large hauler in station.

Until then I'll just bog about with other things.

Heh it's kinda funny seeing your Even Online avatar and you asking for basically everything Eve Online does.
 
Mining does need a bit of a tweak . I shoot off enough chunks to make 100% of whatever ore I'm mining . It's annoying when a piece disappears.

It can be relaxing through & I got the Adder I'm flying currently thru mining & rebel transmissions . Once I had the adder I got a three hopper refinery to keep my options open & scooped enough to get a decent FSD
 
Stop depleting the roid outright. Pop off a few chunks, scoop and then blast the roid again.

Do larger ships have bigger scoops?
