+--- Thread: Mining - number of lasers (/showthread.php?tid=29064)
Mining - number of lasers - markobgd - 10-30-2009
I've read mining tutorial above and there is nothing about number of mining lasers that are in use.
My question is:
Is there any difference if I have 1 mining laser and 9 transport turrets on my Hegemon when, for mining, I use only that single mining laser?
In another words, why would I buy 10 mining lasers if I need only 1?
Thanks!

you gotta hit the rock with that laser. you pick how many do you need to actually hit a rock

2 are sufficient.

Mount how many lasers you need to cover the firing arcs you'll be using.

For what exactly do you need the spare one? Usually the mininglaser does not go blunt, so you will need only one.

2-4 is all you need.
Like I say in the guide I prefer slots 1-4 at the most then mine in cockpit mode.

In mah ship I've got two mining turrets in 1-2 and standard transport weapons in the rest. Mine in cockpit mode as Dusty says. You generally hit more rocks that way.

and your turrets won't need time to turn in which the rock could be gone already.

Pressing " ' " will fire all turrets in their current position. Useful for mining. But only using 2 mining lasers might be counterproductive on a Hegemon.
