With the new update, I thought I'd do some mining (I had a good Anaconda mining rig). I popped over to the local station to pick up the new tools but it wasn't clear what was needed to partake in all of the new mining goodness. So, with that in mind, a few questions:
I picked up a DSS but I'm going to a pristine metallic I usually mine it. Do I really need it as there are no res sites anyway?
What is "analysis mode"?
I picked up a pulse wave scanner, pretty sure I can figure that out.
Do I really need an ablasion blaster or can I use my D2 mining laser? The blaster seems to need ammo? Shooting a deposit damages it? Will the mining laser damage it?
I picked up a displacement missile launcher, figure that drills down and spews out goodness.
I picked up a displacement charge thingy, figure that cracks the asteroid to spew out more goodness.
If I need all these new tools taking up hardpoints, my self defense against pirates is going to be a lot tougher.
Thought I'd turn to the forum for some help, didn't see any new youtube videos posted yet. It's a ways to my mining site, I just don't want to travel back and forth to get different equipment and potentially pirated in the process.
Thanks all!
