So... laser mining, one of the two types I said wasn't broken.Was it broken?
I have been surface mining intermittently in Odyssey for mats. Seems to work fine.

With an old rusty T9 in a pristine ring I lasered just over 400 t in less than 3 hour yesterday. That is playing in Odyssey.Laser tritium mining is not effective now (about 30 t per hour in single spot
Nope, in fact near opposite side of galaxy. I know about fast way to buy trit and have a lot creds for it, but here is not a option. I have Python for mining support with one laser only, abrasion blaster and two subsurface launchers. Before Ody in 3.8 Horizons I dig full cargo (192t) below 2 hours (usually about 1,5 hr), no matter it was single or double overlap. For intense local exploration and 1-2 reposition per week it was enough. About 180 tons of trit is enough for two jumps and it was fine for me. For single laser I need about 4 hours for same amount of tritium and fun becomes boring and grindy.And if in the bubble, mine anything valuable, sell it and buy tritium. Very effecient.

Yeah, noticed that with the second post :/Btw there's no difference between Horizons
Considering subsurface could easily get you 162 in just over 30min 400 in three hours is still pretty slow.With an old rusty T9 in a pristine ring I lasered just over 400 t in less than 3 hour yesterday. That is playing in Odyssey.
Yeah, I'm nowhere near the bubble. If i was I'd probably be like the bulk of the player base that didn't even realize things broke months back.And if in the bubble, mine anything valuable, sell it and buy tritium. Very effecient.

But in Ody Pulse Wave not light subsurfaces and You must fire prospectors at all asteroids, mostly empty. And time is going.Yeah, noticed that with the second post :/

That would explain why it's taking you a long time to mine...I have Python for mining support with one laser only, abrasion blaster and two subsurface launchers.
Yeah... hence the thread lol.But in Ody Pulse Wave not light subsurfaces and You must fire prospectors at all asteroids, mostly empty. And time is going.
No it's taking him so long to mine because like me he outfitted his ship for optimal mining then fdev broke their game and forgot about it after going several kly from the bubble.That would explain why it's taking you a long time to mine...
The Python I commented about certainly isn't kitted out for optimal mining.No it's taking him so long to mine because like me he outfitted his ship for optimal mining then fdev broke their game and forgot about it after going several kly from the bubble.
It is for subsurface trit.The Python I commented about certainly isn't kitted out for optimal mining.
I know this trick with relog, but it destroys all fun and immersion from game... tastes something as cheat.That said @conan02 it is much faster to enter the belt close to desktop (not menu) load back in then clear the subsurface and repeat. Hopefully that will keep you from mindlessly looking at rocks with a single beam.
Exactly this way.It is for subsurface trit.
Two subsurface to increase ammo. One abrasion to pick off any surface deposits and a single laser will deplete most rocks before you finish all the sub surface deposits.
I'm not sure what load out would be faster.
