Im quite curious what's the prices for that?
RE: Best Ore to Mine - Sath - 08-25-2014
The price is around 9.8k but the drop rate is not that attaractive as compared to that of Cambridge I guess.

It's the same as the BMM field, but in comparison to the IMG field, yeah it sucks.

So basically just like P-scrap in prices... but faster to sell since your taking lanes i guess?

You can take premium scrap from texas and sell it in omicron alpha, you can also take niobium from tau 23 and sell it in planet new berlin / planet denver , you can take silver from omega 7 and sell it in narita , you can take helium -3 from sigma 19 / okinawa and sell it to southampton / aland , or even uncut diamonds from omega 11 and sell it in roppongi / newark .

but are those top locations?

Well i can give him full coordinates ships . IDs etc. , if he is interested.

Gold Ore from Dublin to Pittsburgh. Then Platinum Ore from Alberta to Waterloo in New London.

Normaly, the better field is the one thats more dense but with lower drop ratio, for instance - raw-hydros in 29, kishiro field has better drop rate but it is less dense then the samura one, conclusion - samuras better ( totaly not biased here, but it does seem to me that samura has the edge on everything )
RE: Best Ore to Mine - Jack_Henderson - 08-26-2014
There is no real answer to this question for a number of reasons:
1. Hard data on fields is vague at best. I once had access to 1 file of the mining mod and it hinted at a multitude of variables that go a lot further than max yield / rock. Density. Spawn rates. Lighting conditions. There are seemingly an awful lot of influence factors that we do not know. Our gut feeling is often wrong as tests have proven.
2. IDs. Different routes need different IDs. So I would only accept advice that goes like: ore X with ID Y.
3. Availability of miners: You'll not find a Cambridge Berryl miner when you need him. You might be more lucky in Omegas with Copper, Cobalt, Silver and 3-4 mining groups that can give you some of those.
So... after this wise-guy-shut-up-now episode: I like Niobium from Tau 23 to Berlin on IMG ID. Rheinbeer to O7. Silver to Narita. Mining Machinery to Taus.
Firthermore the Cambridge Berryl mining to Dortmund is a short, very profitable run for BMM and IMG IDs. return trips include Rheinbeer to Wuppertal and Mox to Cambridge if I remember it correctly.
It takes a little creatuvity and good connections to make these ore runs work because you need miners. Best play as a team and mine for each other. Also gives you max profit.
Have fun mining and hauling.
