Mining issues

[ViSioN_BCN]

Hello, I returned to the game a few days ago and testing the advanced mining I see that it is very primitive, the pulse scanner does not indicate anything which is the color and that is why we usually spend countless drones prospector. That's why I humbly ask you to update your scanner system so that it clearly shows the components, because it is really a tease like this is currently. Thanks in advance.

P.D. I mean, that is very dificult to see the fissures or whatever indicative of a good asteroid, colour means nothing at all. I spend in Delkar 9 about 7 hours to mine only 3 void opals asteroids, tell me that is not a joke...I dont care about the mining system tools mining laser, seismic charge, abrassive whatever to be more entertaining, but the scanner and the wave pulse is a rubish, trust me. Please fix it, thanks in advance... sorry about my english, is not my native language.

What would we need prospector limpets for if the scan revealed composition? All the scanner reveals is richness, which is not a factor of whether it is actually what you are looking for or not.

There are some great youtube videos that show you which asteroids, by appearance, are the ones that actually can even have void opals. Good to watch if you are just starting out on VO mining.

I watched many youtube videos and have the asteroid pictures and trust me, is not accurate, all games needs to be entertainment, not boring, I mean spend hours to find anything, not everybody has time for it and not everybody has eagle eye...

I just finished a mining run. About 3 hours and filled my Python with 224 Void Opals. A little practice with the Pulse Wave scanner and you can spot the core asteroids from very far away. The trick is to have the class A scanner (for range) and have a ship that can cruise over 330 m/s.

Also learn what the core asteroids look like. All core asteroids in the same ring type use only one model. For example, the core asteroids in Icy rings look like a lumpy ball. It's a very distinctive shape compared to most of the other icy asteroids. If it's glowing and not the correct shape, you can fly on by.

Seems about right.
IF i have little time - as in 1-2 hours i will pick up my Krait Mk2 for some 150t of VO mining.
If by any chance i have a full day - i will pick my mining Cutter
