Need help creating a Mining Beast

Not sure you need something that big, you'd be bored before you fill a sidewinder,

I used an asp., you need some laser on the front incase somebody tries to steal it all

A few basic comments on your setup:

  • You don't need more than two medium (class 2) mining lazors.
  • You don't need more than one prospector.
  • You want those class 8 and 7 for yummy 256t and 128t cargo racks.
  • You want as much collectors as possible without significantly sacrificing cargo availability.
As to my setup, you need as much collectors as possible, so you may tweak power usage to add 2 more collectors by dropping the class 4 16t cargo rack.

My Problem is the internals, i have no idea what goes where.

Dont judge the ship, roleplay reason ^^

You don't need that many mining lasers, even with 9 collector limpets buzzing about they'll struggle to keep up with 3 medium mining hardpoints.
Chipping the ore is never the problem, it's about collecting it in a timely fashion. You want plenty of limpet controllers. I've never used a Type 9 so I'll leave it for someone else to comment.

Prospector limpet is not needed?

the refinery, limpets and so on can only go in one place. you put them there.

and i would suggest the prospector if you want to make real money. it will double your haul from each rock, and let you know when the rock has been picked clean so you can move on more efficiently.

it is, but you only need 1 controller. Get one with at least 2 active limpets so you can fire at one while the other is getting to another.

edit: Oh and just to add, I did a bit of mining in the T9 on PC. It's a tub out there - upgrade the thrusters if you have the coin. Navigating tight spots around close spinning rocks is hell on earth with the stock E grade thrusters. Also, you'll need to invest in at least the C distributor or else you'll be out of juice with your mining lasers. Otherwise, it has that Nostromo feel to it.
