    I really got discouraged when trying to laser mine, I've been core mining before. I tried following this guide and to no avail. I only ended up with 25 diamonds in like 1 hour and 30. I then went and sold it. I decided to give it another try and then ended up with 115 diamonds in an hour and a half. I was pretty surprised, and cheered up because I thought it'd be a waste of time. Thanks for the guide!

    As an alternative method to adding a fuel scoop to your mining ship. I built a second ship, stripped down for range with the same cargo hold and a class 6 fuel scoop. I park it at a system next door and when I'm done mining, I swap ships and cargo to cut down on the time required to jump to the best sell station.

    Hi guys, this is probably old news for most of you but I think it's worth mentioning, the selling prices are linked to your cargo size: after some testing I noticed a loss of around 200.000Cr per unit when loaded with 500t of LTD, that's a net loss of more than 100 millions. A cargo size of ~250t seems to be the sweet spot. Don't know if this is station specific or a general mechanic though.

    • @TheAnhydrite
      @TheAnhydrite 4 года назад

      It depends on the Demand at the station and its relation to your cargo size. If the demand is high enough, 500 tons wont get hit with the bulk tax.

    A note on refinery:
    I wouldn't recommend "any" which is quite a noticeable flaw in your video that has to be adressed.
    *Every size 4 Refinery is simply useless* . A full 4A refinery has 10 bins, thus capable of holding extra 10 tons of material... whereas a size 4 Cargo rack holds 16. That's a net loss.
    3A refinery holds 8 tons, which is on par with a Size 3 Cargo rack. So you can treat it like a two-in-one module.
    2A Refinery is simply made out of magic stuff. A size 2 cargo module holds 4 tons, whereas a 2A refinery holds 6 bins. If you only go hunting for a single material, that's the thing to populate a free slot for.
    1A Refinery is not just magic stuff, but bends the fabric of space and time itself. While it "only" holds 4 bins, that's twice the capacity of a size 1 cargo bay. If you only hunt for one - and exactly one - material like in this case, then by all means, go for the SMALLEST A-type refinery you can get and fill the rest with bigger cargo bays.
    You can get away with a 1A prospector if you keep your situational awareness, which is not a given if you, the esteemed reader aka new player, just wants to start out. (( Also, dear new player: do not get fooled by the "Imperial Cutter". You're not going to get the rank for that for a while. Adapt ships as necessary.))
    Get yourself landmarks (planets, moons, suns, nebulae, everything works) to orient yourself so you know you always mine in one specific direction and everything behind you is safely disregarded as "empty." You can also mark a destination that you set as "this is the direction I want to plow through" like the video host has, which is conveniently going to be your exit point too after you're done.
    Also, do not worry to jettison excess limpets if you're fighting with free space. The money "lost" on them is not worth a thought because your time is far more valuable. Get rid of excess limpets so your collectors never stop delivering. Buy more limpets if you're uncertain, and ditch excess limpets as you get the hang of it.
    The key is also to minimize downtime. If you do laser mining, don't be picky. Grab one rock after the other. If you're careful with your positioning (aka you're not out of range to your limpets) you can even start chewing on the next rock while your other limpets are still trying to clean up the mess you did at the previous rock :) And if you take note about how the chunks are spewing out of the rock you notice there is a pattern that is dependant on the angle you shoot at the rock, and the rotational speed of it. If you place yourself in a way that the chunks fly directly under you, then your limpets will have the least traveltime, thus the fastest delivery. If you start to mine in a type-10 , you will appreciate that :)

      I have a python miner on all three of my CMDRs and a cargo cutter on two of them. When a python is full I transfer its cargo to a cutter and replace it with limpets from the cutter. The original idea was to make a billion per full cutter when void opals were a thing.
      I've just started transferring the cargo back to the python before sale - since the nerf, the more cargo you carry, the less you get for it. A good rule of thumb is to carry less than 10% of the station's demand.

After I'm done mining I stop at Brother's Installation swap my Refinery out for my Fuel Scoop then go make Bank!

      I own a corvette and never even wanted a cutter. Like what you like, but I enjoy the maneuverability over the straight line speed a cutter is known for. I also enjoy the 2 huge hardpoints much more than I would on a cutter, despite the lesser cargo capacity. I vote for fun to fly over statistically capable. The ship is a tool, the skill comes from me. I'd rather have the ability to turn quicker to obliterate them than excel at running away. Just my two cents.

    • @noahhull3390

      The Corvette can't compete outside of combat, the cutter is objectively better in every other application, and it can still hold its own in combat. Fly what you want, but if you are a new player looking for an endgame ship, the Cutter is all you will ever need.

      @@noahhull3390 The question is, what are those "outside applications" for a dedicated warship, that isn't again outclassed by the Anaconda? I think I know where you are coming from and what you're getting at, so maybe it's good to spell it out for the doubtful player above. In the end, it's not always about numbers and values (even though that's fun too :D ) but what the individual person prefers. I can't stand certain cockpit layouts which makes flying an "objectively better" ship a bit of a chore. There are other things that drag down a personal player experience. For example, the Cutter is by far not as maneuverable as the Corvette. That's a no-go for a lot of people on it's own. Maneuverability has a clear use case outside of combat as well. So just by a few factors alone, the Imperial Cutter can not be the objectively better ship. It's by the nature of the word "objectively", simply impossible.

    Just because no-one seems to mention it, but Torval's Power Play module, the Mining Lance, lets you shoot rocks form 2km away. I've found these things speed up mining as you can start stripping a rock as you fly up to it instead of having to kiss it with your ship first. Give them a look.

    • @TheAnhydrite
      @TheAnhydrite 4 года назад +1

      They don't speed up mining. If you use 2 medium mining lasers you will strip a rock faster then if you used 5 Mining Lances. The range does not make up for the slow speed they mine at. Also, if you start lasering from 2k away your limpets will take forever to collect those fragments. Limpet travel is what makes the largest contribution to efficiency when trying to speed up mining. Medium Lasers are also more efficient with heat and Power Distro usage.

    Hi, i've got a question, becouse i want to know what is the mistake i'm doing. I'm searcing for Low Temperature Diamond. I don't chose to mine in Borann becouse i think it could be an empty place due to the toons of view you have. I searched the deep space to find a ring in BD+59 1851 - c1 b ring. It has a Low temperature diamond Hot Spot. I went there, i used Pulse wave, i use prospector limpet on less rotating asteroids. On 24 limpets, NO ONE asteroid with Low Temperature Diamond. You know it is possible?
    Thanks for the attention and for the answer. Fly Safe!

      As mentioned prior. There is something called Borann A2 B ring where you can mine LTDs in a spot where three hotspots overlap.
      Takes a bit of trying to find the perfect spot but I just started playing the game and once I learned the trick myself. I can fill up my mining python in about 45mins to an hr. Thats a little over 200million. 192T storage and an 2A refinery for 6 extra slots. Then I only sell to places where its over a mill per diamond.

That is why I was asking if you were solo or wing mining. Thank you anyway, best regards and be safe

    • @TheAnhydrite
      @TheAnhydrite 4 года назад +2

      Painite is in Metallic rings and rocks top out at 66.67%. Icy rings max out at ~40%. So Painite is faster. The higher price for LTDs make up the diffrence.

    • @mainSPECdestro
      @mainSPECdestro 4 года назад +2

      Yes this is true for a few reasons, rocks in a double painite hotspot will have 50% and 60%+ painite compared to ltd's which is found in 30% range. Also less fragments are needed to refine one ton of painite probably because the percentages on the rocks are higher. I've found that I can fill my cargo hold almost twice as fast with painite as I can with ltd's but for whatever reason painite was nerfed into the ground so the prices just aren't good enough even still.
