Mining outfitting at Colonia.

[iBR0WNY]

I'm on my way out there and I've suddenly had the urge to do some mining. I'll probably find a place with tons of mining missions and stay there for a while. Only problem is that I've got no mining gear in module storage to transfer out there so I'm wondering if anyone in Colonia can tell me what outfitting is like, specifically for a corvette.

I'm guessing there probably are prospector/collector limpets and refineries out there. I've got 2 small mining lasers on my ship already but mediums would be better. The main and most essential thing I need is an 8A power distributor. I've only got a 1D to save weight on the trip.

Any help would be much appreciated and would hopefully prevent a trip back to the bubble too. (I hate the bubble).

Does it have to be A-class though?

Not necessarily I guess. Just needs to power a couple mining lasers for more than the 2 seconds a 1D distributor does. Plus the ability to boost would be good. I don't know the minimum size to enable boost on a vette though.

Prospectors do. Anything else gives a lower return on fragments.

And the power distributor is as important to mining as it is to combat.

I didn't know that. Hopefully they have A-class ones out there.

Um, what? A-rated collectors have the longest life-span of any of the other modules. I always fit up A-rated collector controllers for this reason.

I'm sure C class is the highest rating in that region.
