Yep it can be done, you just need to keep kissing the terminal while scanning, I have completed 6 Economic data acquisition missions so far in this way.
Wow. That's quite an answer. I've bookmarked that. Full of useful advice. I'm not likely to be circumnavigating any time soon but there's lots of good stuff there for my planned Anaconda build. The idea of plasma slugs to tune weight is totally new to me.
Yeah, excellent reply with a couple of things I've never even thought of, such as using the plasma slug for adjusting fuel levels. Nice builds too! Now I feel inspired to finish my Type 6 nearspace explorer.
I don't do trading, mining is the second least... PVE combat is what a cutter $uck at, so I may turn into a 
blink-blick stylish sail barge??
Not a specific build as such, but Python. Plenty hardpoints, plenty internal slots.
The T9 gets you further on one tank than a Cutter, but you are probably right. What the T9 also gives is that it can only just escape an NFC interdiction. It's that feeling of only just.Continued to fly dull but highly lucrative freight runs to Alcor. Boredom mildly alleviated by the eclipse that progressed across the station the last few runs, the most recent giving me this lovely view of a solar flare. Or is it a prominence?
Anyway, if I can manage another 12 runs before the end, I'll end up with my first billion in the bank. Although that's a bit of a lie, since I absolutely have more than that in raw assets by now. Highly specced T9 and iCutter between them must be close on half that!
(I should consider selling the T9... it doesn't really offer anything over the iCutter...)
T-9: 18 wheeler with no power steering.
Anything with the hardpoints for decent mining lasers, a big Power Distributor to keep them running and a refinery. You don’t need much storage as you only have to mine and refine it to qualify, but she will want 10 tonnes of Painite later so you should hang on to that just don’t enter or log into the game in a ring with that on board or the pirates will be after you.
For your reference, I unlocked Selene Jean with this . Definitely not the best build but it get the job done.
i use a asp x explorer cheap and has another slots for all the gear, 4 hardpoints and 6 internals for the cargo and refinery/ limpets
)No, just 6 of either, but it can be a bit bugged (some people have said it didn't count them all -- I had no problems there). I did a bunch before I got her invite, and those didn't count. Thefts are easier than heists, so I'd suggest doing those. Relogging after to make sure it updates is a good idea also.
