Torval is winning though.

I might get the abrasion blaster for the increased projectile speed.

If I decide to participate I will do just that. Push wrecken to tier 1 being sure in top 10% and contribute to torval just enough to be in top 75%.(I would rather skip that part)

My module storage is limited. I recently reduced my lances from 10 to 3 (which are mounted only on my exploration ships for safe material extraction from rocks).

It is not the range that is appealing but the shot speed.

Did you had a case where the rock is rotating and you have trouble hitting the chunk from moderate range, so you closed distance-changed angle risking a collision.
This is very common for me when core mining with python/krait(God forbid large ships for core mining).

Abrasion Blaster is not beam/laser weapon. It will get shot speed x2. This will make hitting moving targets easier.

Nope, no issues related to projectile speed.

Maybe i didnt make my point clear.

Projectile speed matters only at range - if you are closer to the asteroid, to have more efficient limpet travel time, projectile speed is not that important.
To hit a deposit from 300m is easy enough. To hit it from 1km, it not that easy - but it makes limpet travel too long that there is no point to even shoot it at 1km
So doubling the speed means i can hit a deposit at 600m as reliably i could hit at 300m - but why would i do that? I need my limpets to collect that fragment faster and shooting it at 600m does not help with that.
And not at last: the abrasion blaster is not ammo dependent. So achieving a fragment on first hit is not that important when you can simply spam the blaster.

So yea, i dont see the speedier abrasion blaster a must. Not even something really useful. Vaguely useful at best.

On the other hand, a sub-surface missile or a core missile with double the speed - that would be nice, but even nicer would be high-capacity mining missiles...
Heck - they should simply enable engineering on mining stuff... :geek:

i always feel handicapped on mining missions. apart from never knowing where to go to find whatever system i need to go to, to mine in the 1st place.

i happen to be colourblind with glasses. trouble is, my CMDR isn't. he has perfect vision... he just thinks he's really poop at mining.. as you can imagine. this is always frustrating

Dont be.
This mining cg is about laser mining. Being colourblind will not hamper your ability to do laser mining (sure it may interfere with deep core mining)

Use EDTools and look for pristine metallic rings.
IF you feel particularly brave, you can mine in Res Site, else randomly in a ring (make sure to wait the pirates to do their thing and scan you before you start mining)

2.5 km range. Though really the reduced power is probably more useful

If it's only size 1 it'll still have rather minimal utility for bulk mining. That range is pretty nice for laser chip prospecting, though.

Oh it hit tier one a while ago.. as well...
Ill get more credits from the tier 1 reward so far than from mining pays for the 4 items... lol...

Can you mine, transfer your mined stuff to your fleet carrier, then later transfer it back from your fleet carrier to turn in?

Yes, but only if you use the transfer function.
If you use the market function of the carrier (buy/sell) it will lose the mining tag (you might be tempted to use that since is faster than the transfer :/ )

So only carrier owners can use carriers to store mining goods and sell them later

Is the space and time altered in EDO?
I mean, i was somewhere 90+ ly from LTT198 and i was seeing System Chat that was obvious from LTT198 (and maybe from other systems too)
Is this a new change or something?
Edit: someone claimed they're in Horizons (i was in EDO, like the others in the weird system chat)

Or just a bug?

Indeed. I gathered two to three hundred tonnes of silver while testing my Cutter for mining, and transferred it with a bunch of other stuff to my carrier. When I delivered it to Tobias's Gift* ,it counted, and put me in the top 75. Then a mixture of the required commodities, including about 50 tonnes of both silver and [praesidium?], put me in the top 25.

*Funny, I'm doing the Wreaken CG because I thought that was the most commented on, and therefore the mining laser must be at least nominally more rewarding. Turns out this discussion is not about that CG (unless I got turned around again), but I'll probably do both, even if neither reward is all that staggering.

Give us a SSDM with auto-detect!

Yep this is the empire lady supporters side TrollhunterX. page 3 and later went on to side topics... the other CG topic is for the indie mining company
Each CG has a GC topic each. when they are rival CGs one side tries to help just that side still and not the other…,
Players can read both CG topics but its rare that both sides get high post counts...
Hence my stats and result tables for mining were not duplicated as Ill focus helping this side of empire mining get a higher target level faster and hopefullly insure that this sides 75% an above players get a replacement size 1 laser and can dump a single mining lance...
I won’t do RNG core mining...

System chat is cross-mode and cross-version.

But the part where a system's chat stays with you when you leave the system is an Odyssey "feature".
