Nice guide...found it very helpful....thanks
I tried core mining for the first time in my python tonight with the pulse wave, abrasion blaster, displacement missile & seismic launcher, collection and prospectors + refinery.
It was all going quite well, found a hotspot using the surface scanner, managed to figure out the controls on the new weapons, even manged to find an asteroid with fissures and blew it up (though not very well) and I had accumulated a decent little haul.
However I then get disconnected (happens alot for me in ED). When I log back in I can't use the pulse wave or any of the mining weapons/tools. It just says I need to switch mode to use them?
It was working fine before but now I need to switch mode...to what mode & how? I have a feeling it may be a bug but the whole core mining and FSS is new to me so I could just have missed a step and not realised.
I couldn't see anything in your guide about mode switching so any help would be appreciated
Also when using the seismic charges, what is the best advice on how much to charge it for each type of fissure. To be safe I ended up charging it to the medium setting on all fissures and it eventually worked but I went into the red on the last charge. Again any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks
