Hi All, I've done some ROC mining and wanted to share some impressions an thoughts, as well as to see if you have anything to share on the subject. Overall, I think it's much better than mining on foot, but you won't be able to reach the most difficult places,. where you can only get on foot...

That's right. Either side of the business should approach their activities with enough thought. Of cause, limitless supply/demand and instant travel times is easy for the trading business. Likewise push-a-button piracy is easy for the "pirating" (what we have now is not really pirate...

The travel speed is the current limitation, maybe there will be some workaround in future. To the second point. A pirate shouldn't have a free lunch by just setting up a trap. If they set up a trap, and it disrupted my engines, then the pirate should pursue me, while I use this time to prepare...

I don't think it has to always be an "atmosphere" or a gas cloud, since hydrogen is available in space, so ships like the Carrack should be able to replenish the fuel in space, while the efficiency and the replenish rate should vary. The farther away from stars, planets, gas clouds etc., the...

I think travel time needs to be as long as the player wants it to be. There should be choices and rewards. And as a rule of thumb I feel the faster you want to travel the more expensive it should be. This may come in a form of a more expensive quantum drive, less fuel efficient quantum drive...

Is this really the Javelin? I thought this is how TEST Aurora looks like! The one that you have the right to crash, and the one that will be issued to you if you don't have one. 🍻

Mining in Yela belt appears lucrative 🍻

Isn't it TEST FART (Fast Aurora Response Team) in action? 🤔 🍻

OK, making first steps, thanks to Black Sunder for some good advice on asteroid mining. Invested into Helix mining head and consumables, reporting results 🍻

Ok, TESTed just now, - fractured some asteroids around mining claims near CRU and HUR marks - the fractured asteroids disappear. Then went to Yela belt, - fractured asteroids don't disappear, thanks Black Sunder. 🍻

No, not blowing them up. Monitoring the energy transfer and making sure it's not going into the red zone. Did this on planets, works fine. The animation is like the fragments just disappear. I've done this several times to confirm it's not a one-off. On the first screenshot there are 9...

Nothing funny, strictly TEST training material 🍻

Hi All, 🍻 I'm fairly new to mining, just rented the Prospector yesterday, and tried mining in on planets. Today I've tried mining in space, and when I found a few good spots, asteroids disappeared as soon as I fractured them. It seems like a known bug, according to issue council, however I...

AFAIK, x16 is the top magnification at this point, this scope comes stock with Behring P6-LR sniper rifle. Barrel is what you can put on the barrel - a flash hider, a suppressor, a stabiliser (reduces recoil for energy weapons). Underbarrel is what you can put under the barrel - laser pointer...

Just rented the Prospector for the first time 🍻

Looks like a more lightly armored (RSI style) and faster than Hammerhead or Idris, but with bigger guns than the Hammerhead. Maybe, while Hammerhead is more an anti-fighter ship, Odin is more anti-large ship. Unlikely it will be able to easily take down a Javelin, but it should be able to...

You are very welcome. That's why we are TEST Squadron Best Squadron! 🍻

I also believe that the price of Quantum Fuel will go up significantly. That is why I've compared the fastest and the most fuel efficient Quantum Drives. At this stage I feel players think Carrack default Quantum Drive is the worst (as it's the slowest), but I think it's actually the best for...

When you select which services you want (e.g. refuel quantum) and click confirm, hit F2, which will take you to Star Map, where you will see exactly how much Quantum Fuel units you have, as well as how they fill up. There you will see how the meter approaches the limit (44,000 for Carrack) and...

Hi All, 🍻 I've been TESTing the Carrack and thought it may be worth creating the Carrack Facts thread, as fellow TESTies may be interested, especially those who own one or plan to use one. We may re-number or group the facts later. What I was testing this time is how much does it cost to...
