The science of Mining

[Limoncello Lizard]

The only issue with D collectors is the range, as you don't have to move very far before the drones get out of range and self destruct, even moving around and firing off a prospector can be enough to put you out of range.

They can also be a problem is you are drilling roids that are spinning all over the place. Fragments can easily fly out of range. But this don't usually result in limpets self destructing. I either ignore these frgments, or chase after them when the roid is depleted.

[CMDR Poet Starwind]

Other experiments I'm thinking of doing:

-Does the rating of the prospector controller affect the yield bonus?
-Do different ratings of collectors have quicker hauling speeds?
-Are different system's pristine metallic belts predisposed to different ratios of elements or is it to do with the instance or is a belt a belt and its just luck?

My initial obsevation was with a 1D then a 1B then a 1A prospector, and I did notice an increase maxed out with A. Wasn't scientific, no quantitative data, just gut feel.

Collectors havent noticed much difference except range.

I still havent figured out using multiple prospectors. What order do they expire in when you launch a new prospector?

 

[Malkevin]

Most recent... usually.
Which makes prospectors above class 1 useless without micro management.

 

[HailVectron]

Has anyone tried 2x prospectors from a 3A into the same roid?

 

[Gorrister]

Fantastic work. Could you try to find out if there is a difference in the painite rate in extraction sites compared to the rest of the ring, please.

 

[Malkevin]

Has anyone tried 2x prospectors from a 3A into the same roid?

Doesn't do anything.

 

[Malkevin]

More raw data, yay!

Now, for the fun of figuring out how to analyze this and put it into a readable format.

Which looks really ugly in forum format, I'll be publishing the pretty excel file along with my methods and conclusions etc hopefully tomorrow.

I still havent figured out using multiple prospectors. What order do they expire in when you launch a new prospector?

Currently the multiple prospector is bugged in that you fire the first, and then the second. When you fire a third, it expires the second prospector fired. Fire a fourth, and it will expire the third fired. The first prospector will only expire upon time expiry.

You can however run with 2x single prospector modules, assign each to your primary and secondary fire and self manage. And it works very well.
I haven't seen anything to say that the multiple prospector will be fixed in 2.1

I've updated the first post with experiment number 4.

 

[Malkevin]

I think the next thing I'll look at is to see if there's any difference between which striation you enter a metallic ring.
