Earn my IFF with the IMG - Hielor - 06-23-2011
' Wrote:Thank you, but actually, the laser fires just fine - but as soon as a rock flies in the sight, the laser won't even fire. But I'll try again with your advice.You misunderstood what I said.
If you don't have the crosshairs ("sight") on a rock, the lasers will be shooting in front of your ship. As soon as you put the sight on a rock (which is behind you), the lasers stop firing, because the rock is no longer in the firing arc of the (front-facing) weapons.

Thanks for your patience.

I tried to go to those spots anyway, but received no yield when shooting stones with my mining lasers.
Sorry for all these question.. I've put quite a lot of hours to get this far and now I just can't get mining working.

When I click the Minable-icon on my map in Tau-23, nothing shows up.You have to go "discover" the fields first before they'll show up on your map. Once you've been to about where they are, try clicking the "mineable zones" button on the map a few times.

If you're in the right place in Tau-23, there will be an IMG Satellite nearby--there's one at the center of each of those fields.

Thank you!
Are there any easier systems for a new IMG miner?

I guess with easy you mean the least piracy.
Tau-37 < Tau-23 < Dublin < Omega-7 < Cambridge
That means Cambridge is the most safe spot to mine. If you want I can send you the mining spots for that system.
