COMPLETED CG Support Torval-Mastopolos Mining Campaign

[forbiddenlake]

The site's text was updated, it's a long-range class 1 mining laser

This is ... how do I say this ... not an enticing carrot.

To be fair, the OP literally says:

"Please note that these commodities must be mined rather than purchased to count towards your personal contribution total."

Can't hurt to ask when you're new.

Guess I'll have a snoop around some nearby Pristine Metal-rich rings for starters. Here's a list of some nearby ones.

worse than mining-lance

So no size 2 mining lance to be released to tech broker what a shame...
wasted the chance,,,

 

[Dagwit]

My understanding and experience is that the correct way to laser-mine is to shove your ship's nose up against the asteroid so that your limpets will have the least distance to travel in recovering fragments.

How a long-range mining laser will enhance this technique I'm not quite sure....

 

[Flossy]

Please see updated text in the OP - thanks!

No worries, I was joking.

 

[WILLIAM BILL ADAMA]

I think efficient or light-weight will be better than long-range.

 

[HeatherG]

I know

The utility here will depend on just how long the range can be. The one real use for mining lances is chip prospecting - zapping a fragment off an asteroid to see the contents, which can be a good deal faster than waiting for a prospector to do its thing. A mining laser with a multi-km range would be good for that at least.

Basically, it's the same as the tritium CG a few weeks ago.

If you want to make easy money, buy & sell.

If you want CG progress, get to mining.

One big difference. This is a permit system, so Fleet Carriers not allowed in.

Ooh yeah, that does make a lot of difference.

 

[VertigoWren]

Class 3/4 efficient mining laser with thermal vent please.

 

[OddSockEater]

Long range adds 100% range. Is it safe to assume that this cg mining laser will be 1km range, 1km falloff, 0.57 MW power draw and 2,6T weight?
Also the abrasion blaster: Range 2km, falloff 2km, SHOTSPEED at 1334 m\s, power draw 0.54 MW and 2.6T weight?

 

[rgrocott]

Ooh yeah, that does make a lot of difference.

Not as much difference as "Please note that these commodities must be mined rather than purchased to count towards your personal contribution total" does
I'm an idiot who can't read other people's posts properly

 

[Sensei Jacksama]

I wonder if we can engineer it or not?

Material stats for metallic painite hot spot example, high res site, location 10% in hot spot, hot spot location, single hour run in ring location... (no map) circle res site 15- 20 KM.. from center..

Material	Amount	Average	Highest
Bertrandite	17	4.77%	26.55%
Gallite	24	9.59%	47.95%
Gold	9	4.40%	40.21%
Indite	15	4.73%	37.90%
Osmium	5	2.91%	43.79%
Painite	16	8.27%	47.55%

Platinum	1	0.18%	8.26%
Praseodymium	13	4.68%	32.03%
Samarium	9	4.38%	37.75%
Silver	8	3.47%	51.81%

Green =good for CG... Red = bad for CG. Blue= Bonus good money made on the side, Independent of CG target at the same time as CG items...
Mission board and direct sales for blue items at other locations...
