It is a better miner only because it has a bigger cargo hold. But since January nerf due to Bulk sale tax, bigger is rarely better.
Flies faster is not really a must when laser mining.
More maneuverable? not really.
My point is that I almost retired my Cutter miner and now i'm mining exclusively in a 320t Conda with 10-11 colectors, 4-2 prospectors, 3 medium mining lasers and deep-core and sub-surface mining capabilities.
And it still has close to 2K shields and 2 large lasers for self defence
) and it feels like it can manoeuvre around the 'roids more nimbly than the Anaconda. I like her 450m/s boost speed - I've made it so for Justin.

This is not true. It also has better cargo hatch placement, which means that you can generally get away with fewer limpet controllers. The bridge of the Cutter is also better located for controlling your distance to the asteroid and fragment stream management. I made a quick reference for this some time back:
Add to that that, unlike the Python, the Anaconda also suffers from the same drawback as the Cutter of not being able to land on medium pads.
I didn't. But presumably, silicate based, in which case the stuff of speculation and fiction, not reality, one of the defining characteristics of the game,it seems.(Unless you believe in the sandman,i suppose.
)If you're on the fence, I highly recommend being able to fight back while mining.I like your point about self defence - it was something I was pondering myself on the Anaconda. I could fit some pew-pew for close encounters but I'm a runner, not a fighter
Not necessarily entirely speculation and fiction. Diatoms can produce silicates.I didn't. But presumably, silicate based, in which case the stuff of speculation and fiction, not reality, one of the defining characteristics of the game,it seems.(Unless you believe in the sandman,i suppose.
Fair point.Since none of them yielded anything in terms of mats,to me they were of no value,anyway. I wouldn't mind a hull built from them,mind.Pretty impervious to whatever i could throw at 'em.(admittedly not much by todays standards, but still enough from close quarters with sustained bursts to make a sponge flinch).That tough,it could mean dumping shields and boosters, and do away with the need for limpets altogether.I don't know if a mining lance would cut it?I suspect not.Not necessarily entirely speculation and fiction. Diatoms can produce silicates.

At a price of 101.000 Cr for the controller, plus 100 Cr. for each refuel, which adds 50% to the lifetime of a limpetWhat you need is a limpet-refuel limpet controller.
. Or you can synthesize the fuel for 2 Iron and Nickel instead.Or how about an onboard refuelling carousel.Each limpet weighs a ton,costs 50,000 cr and has a personality chip, an unique manoeuvre, and probably,over time, a union..The spice must flow, after all, but thats no reason the process shouldn't be entertaining.At a price of 101.000 Cr for the controller, plus 100 Cr. for each refuel, which adds 50% to the lifetime of a limpet
