BTW, I probably overestimated how much silver I had in the carrier. It would have been more like a hundred, tops, because it's not easy to accumulate.

I may switch to trading instead of mining, soon, like a whole bunch of other people, anyway.

I thought for it to count towards to CG it HAS to be mined. Haven't tried, but at least on Thursday I've been hearing trading for it doesn't count towards to goal.
Im just sad that pvp piracy "donations" of silver doesn't work. Even though CMDRs obviously just mined it

Players mean after they secured their place in top 75% after the deliveries as you only need to top 75% or higher for the item as this side is going to win (as feds have quit supporting anti empire events,) to move on to do standard trading ignoring the CG completely. The bottom place on the 75% is still going to be very low value of mined items... the othe side will reuire top !0% to insure item..
Every trade run still pays Over 30mill without mining for 700 + T9/Cutter run in silver, the issue is that many stations are being emptied because many stills want money over helping the CG. as silver is a normal trade item... The price at CG station is double the normal and many players don't care about it not counting for the CG there only in system for credits..

Ah I see, normal trading, not for CG.
Im not so into the laser mining. I shall see on Wednesday if one cutter full of silver will do the 75%. Then I might do it. But getting only one of these is kinda useless. I guess one would be nice to have on my exploration ship But it's nothing I would really really super need.

1 hour mining run... lost to RNG today... went the wrong way in the ring... dam it...

Mining lance saves wasting prospectors/limets on dud rocks... thats why rocks prospected are so low...
Will fill rest of cutter hold another day...

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".
Nope, not an Odyssey feature - I remember it happened a lot during DW2 which of course was Horizons! Confused the hell out of me the first time I noticed it. :ROFLMAO:
 
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?
I'm in EDH and started seeing LTT 198 system chat a jump early.
 
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:
 
worth the hassle for a single class 1 mining laser?
More range than even the Mining Lance (although you need a 7b collector to really make use of that) , less energy consumption and half the heat emission? Certainly IMO.
I only regret that you get only one of them.
Two would fit nicely in the small slots of my mining T10.
 
hang on a mo... this system permit only lasts a week? i must have missed that part. was only doing it for the permit.... only lasting a week is a p take.... i'm off to do something else

No, whoever wins will gift the permanent permit to top75%

You get a temporary permit to take part in the CG.
If you're in the Top 75% of participants for the winning side, then you get a permanent permit.

phew! thanks for that. its that bloody red writing again bleeding all over the place... (its a colourblind thing)... can we please refrain from the red text please?

This forum post is IMO only a courtesy, but of course adding extra nice bits, like the systems to look for pristine rings.

The official article is in white on black, may I suggest you link that page? But is formatted a bit worse, though.

The version Inara offers is also a good read (in my opinion)
 
worth the hassle for a single class 1 mining laser?
No, because it's a class 1 mining laser. The efficiency and range aren't as important as the fact that class 1s mine 3x slower than class 2s.

(The range can be nice if you're just scraping rocks without prospecting)

That said:

Yes, because staying in the top 75% of Torval should be easy (less than half a Python load right now), and you can say you have a special module even if it's not very useful.
