Well, I think I just made a stupid mistake.
I'm in a Cobra III, outfitted to do LowTempDiamond mining (DSS, mining lasers, refinery w/ 3 bays, limpets).
I hop into Borann, and seem to find some likely asteroids... blast away and see one of the Refinery hoppers says
Low Temperature Diamonds 29%.
So - I'm thinking, "percent of what, I don't know, but it sounds like I have some LTDs!"
When I run out of limpets I jump to a nearby station to sell my load of LTDs, and discover I don't have any.
My hopper still shows "LTD 29%".
So I click on it, and now it shows "empty".
Questions to y'all who know:
1) did I just dump a load of LTD ore in my landing bay?
2) did i ever actually have any LTDs on board?
3) what else should i have done to convert this ore into actual saleable LTDs?
So confused.
