Tried the Prospector today... Prospector is new best friend

[Raither]

Tried a lot of ships so far, but for a change of pace I decided to try out the Prospector and pretty much fell in love with this ship instantly.

The view from the cockpit is so amazing, it has everything from coffee to a shower and the ability to make tons of $. The view while flying and scanning planet surfaces is incredible...

Prospector is now my "go fund yourself" way to make sweet bank and buy ships in game for sure

The Prospector is great. Mining is so chill...when I want to relax, I just take the Prospector out for an hour.

Plus, it reminds me of this old meme: IT JUST PRINTS MONEY! lol

If I pull a Prospector out, I tend to listen to some music or watch a movie and chill. Nice change of pace. I can earn more via trading but at least if I crash I don't lose huge chunks of cash.

The prospector is easily going to be the first ship I buy, and most likely multiples of, when Beta/full release happens. I need to rent one at some point and see how much I like it.

I did some trading, was doing pretty good, and I was going to buy prospector with aUEC, but... I didn't factor in xmas. Oh well, maybe I'll try it in 3.4 :smile:

EDIT: Erh... Forum replaced : D with : smile : but didn't change it to smiley

Prospector is a really cool ship, not one I plan to buy but it's great.

I only have an Orion for mining but I do like the prospector.

 

[Printimus]

Def a good ship! We hope to see you out there mining with us!

 

[Crymsan]

I think the vulture will be a similar play style just with wrecks. I would not judge the economy side yet there are lots of changes to come there.

 

[DarkScout]

Agree that the Prospector is a great little ship. I have it and the Vulture for the same reason... just jump in and relax while making some cash. Lots of low-key fun.
Will the scanners on the DUR, for instance, be able to scan for wrecks or valuable ore? I had hoped that while I am out exploring in the DUR, I could find good spots to return to with one of those little ships. Any specifics about the DUR scanner functionality?

 

[Xist]

Indeed! The prospector is enjoyable.

I won't be able to do it for too many hours any given week, but it's definitely a great way to make UEC.

Especially in a TEST fleet!

Way back in 3.3, mining was a white knuckle thrill ride for anything worth digging for. Any lag at all could blow the ship up, and the sweet spot for fracturing was way too narrow, now I just sit back with a cup of coffee and dig until I get greifed by a 12 year old in daddy's cutlass. I can't wait until we get the Orion and we can rid the 'verse of all those pesky planets and asteroids!

I'll echo what others have said in that its a good ship for making money. You can make anywhere from 15K on an 'ok' run to 80K+ on a very good couple of finds depending on minerals and concentrations.

To make 80k, "Join with friends...", find @Black Sunder and follow him around.
