mining rush missions for wing

[Scary Asp Explorer]

me and four wingmates are in type 10 we were doing ceos/sothis faction standings grind for days,one of guys started talking about missions and we looked at mining ones,there was two silver missions one 363 and 457 silver,we got them and in sothis theres starport on planet where we got the silver. we can mine the osmium palladium samarium if nessecary but we cant find these mining rush missions,all we did see was for indite or some liquid oxygen thingy. we did try robigo but we found only one for bauxite and one for methane clathrate..we did fly back to sol area and we tried some refinery/extraction systems but none had mining missions .

we have type 10 ships so best if location has orbital station with large pads and planetary starport so we could take more..we play in private session .

@Scary Asp Explorer Not sure what you're asking. Are you looking for stations that offer wing mining and wing fetch missions for gold, silver, palladium? If so, you're in luck but I must warn you that such missions are infrequent unless the minor factions are Happy, even better in Boom. I've earned about 15-20B over the last year doing these missions. With my approach, I earn 350-500M per hour per account (I have 3 accounts) . If you're interested in flying with me in private, send DM.

Go to industrial economies, not extraction or refinery.

Extraction/ refinery economies produce silver/ gold, so you'll never see missions for them. You only get mining missions for minerals where there's demand for those things.

Counter- intuitive? Maybe, but that's how it works.

#ocflyer yes stations that offer mining rush missions for wings. we use https://eddb.io/commodity so we can buy the required metal/mineral. yes mining rush for gold/silver also cobalt indite missions.. we did it orginally in sothis but after few days there was decision made to find other system because... sothis mining has medium pads, vantage point is quite far from dons inheritage. but hey we can buy more in the vantage point and fill our type 10s,and complete multiple missions at one time. but we make less profit per hour because of silly distance from a to b.. we did try this in ceos and it was bit less to buy sometimes and we could not find many wing mining missions,there was few individual ones thought. .. robigo had more missions but trash payout.

@Jmanis would industrial in boom state work?

@Jmanis would industrial in boom state work?

.... soooort of.

Mining missions (both wing and nonwing) will be more prevalent in an industrial system in Boom state. However, there's a gotcha I forgot to mention.

In a None state, mining missions (both wing and non wing) will be for any minerals, that is Gold, Cobalt, Indite, Methane Clathrates, Osmium... anything

But, in a Boom or Investment state, solo mining missions will only be for mineable-only commodities (osmium, methane clathrates etc). You won't find any solo missions for silver, gold or palladium (you may still find source missions, which have a slightly different reward mechanism). Wing missions are unaffected though, and will still be for anything.

so far we checked few industrial/none and no luck we tried industrial/civil unrest and nope. we did go open play and ask others and we got info that we should look for systems with trade lanes(colorful lines between two systems) and they should give courier/cargo missions from A to B and from B to A,so we need to find something like sothis/ceos grinding place.

we did go to eddb to look for places where we can buy the basic metals/minerals that dont require mining and checked few locations but all we found were few solo mining for methane clathrates or liquid oxygen.

we did go back to open to find out,and we talked with others and they said that we must find place that has ground starport where we can buy our goods and mine asteroids for rest. and orbital stations that dont sell any metals/minerals so those stations will have mining missions,we did try that out but no luck for one hour. what we are doing wrong?perhaps mining missions were nerfed so hard they are more rare to find?

 

[goemon]

they have not at all been nerfed. currently having 10 of them stacked.

it's more about finding a location which spawns them consistently due to the right conditions.

as Jmanis has said - industrial. not industrial with a secondary economy extraction or refinery. i'll add terraforming to that list.

again not a secondary economy. there are many industrial economies with extraction or refinery as a secondary economy. no state for solo missions of buyable commodities.

also there is absolutely no need of a surface port - you can buy the silver as well at any extraction economy.

once you have found your spots, you'll have a pretty consistent source. might need a lot of scouting - i stumble about them due to playing the game and bookmark over time.

 

[goemon]

also note - scouting backgroundsimulation depending locations, like those you ask for, usually needs a lot of time. i have spend 10 hours straight two weeks ago to pin down spawn conditions of rare commodity smugglers. i would never intend doing so if i'd be up for a wing-session.

if your friends and you pull down a list of industrial and terraforming economies in no state, and each jumps into a good jumping ship, you can share your findings which each other and will get there.

 

[Jmanis]

Coincidentally, while in the coalsack i spotted a couple whole boards full of mining missions.

 

[Scary Asp Explorer]

so we have to look only for industrial/ then..

ohh coalsack. is it safe? heard about thargoids. did you see if som metals/minerals can be bought? if so ill take a look once we finish last missions then we can try go there. yes we got fuel scoop so we wont get trouble

Industrial is just where gold/ silver mining missions are likely to happen, given they're a major import. Other economies which generate mining missions are:

• agriculture (though usually from cheap mining only ice goods, really just a waste of time)
• high tech (be careful it's not hr/ref dual economy)
• industrial
• any of the economies without major exports (colony, service, tourism, military, terraforming)

Extraction economies are pretty much a no go for them, as they don't import metals/ minerals... refineries aren't great as they produce good/ silver/ palladium usually, though you might get missions for some extraction- source goods.

 

[Scary Asp Explorer]

thanks for the info. so we will go again around sol to check for these things, if we wont get eoungh missions we head to coalsack...oh onething,what are dangers there? threats? thargoids? how much npc activity there? we could kick some pirates from time to time too.

There's no danger unless you go seeking it in places like Coalsack... though most major stations there are damaged at the moment, so you won't be able to do market-sourcable mining missions easily. Thargoids will only hit you if you go to the AX CZ or an NHSS and don't know what you're doing.

However, this is the current state of the boards in Hannu Arena (Musca Dark Region IM-V C2-24)... interestingly no wing missions...

Payouts are poor because my rep isn't sterling, cordial at best.

 

[Scary Asp Explorer]

ranking up is not problem,easy to do with courier missions or exploration data... we did check some locations from eddb but no luck. with thargoids in coalsack would be risky to run missions there? or we should keep looking within 100-200LY from sol?

Currently Thargoids are optional content - the player has to go into a NHSS / AXCZ to find them - I don't know if Hyperdictions are still common, but even then it is just being pulled from Hyperspace and 'looked at' before the Thargoids depart leaving you unharmed.

today spent another 15 hours but still did not find good spot for things,we located usually systems with outposts or ground starports and single station. we are checking empire space now.,around system jula within 100LY but all we found was 4 useless wing missions with 28/16/11/9m profit and 13 regular missions for 900k-1.4m...
we did check more systems but nope,no luck then we did head back to area of jula..

we found one more wing mission with 10m profit,better than notthing.. we will later grab our krait mk2's and head to Ngalinn to do some empire grind and see if the empire will give what we need. .. also we are curious if there are any empire grind systems with large pads? something like federation ceos sothis robigo but for empire?.. later we go to coalsack for checking mining missions,are there some large pad station systems,or we must go in kraits?

did you pick up on only scouting at stations with a single economy industrial or terraforming? as said before - most industrial stations have two economy types - you can find them listed at the system map.

e.g. not:

Spoiler

but (if it wouldn't be infracstructure failure):

Spoiler

 

[Scary Asp Explorer]

so i tried single economy and dual economy. indeed there was some mining missions but low profit,not great for 5 man gang. and problem is that not evrywhere we could find large pads. we did take the kraits but still, its not worth to chop rocks for 900k 1.2kk while wing ones offered up to 50 millions. we came back to sothis and we found that there was waiting for us 6 wing missions,but WAIT....sothis is not refinery,is not extraction,is not industrial so what is magic there?? btw if theres notthing else we can travel for good mining mission spot we will go coalsack to try our luck there

 

[goemon]

i get the feeling you are talking about systems, not stations.

Sothis:
4 stations. their economies, checked system map as above:
velinski enterprise: single industrial economy (as mentioned in here several times).
newholm station: single terraforming economy (as mentioned by me above).
don's inheritance: single agriculture in boom. yes, agriculture in boom can spit out wing missions for luxury metals.
sothis mining: single extraction economy.

so - if you haven't found solo mining missions on sothis mining, it's pretty much as described above.

you have 1 system, but 4 different stations with their own types of economy in system. mission board is in accordance to station economy (market), not system economy.

 

[Scary Asp Explorer]

yes we were looking only at system economy and docking to system stations to check only the mission boards,none of us did look at actual station economy..a big ooopsie. .. so agriculture + boom = wing mining missions. good to know.
