Mine...where...exactly? - davnolan - 02-20-2010
So I'm a little new to the mining game, and after reading through all of this AND the guide, I'm still left with a few questions.
I'm flying a Mining ship, with a Daumann IFF and the Daumann Heavy Construction ID. I DO have the mining emitters. I've been in Omega-7 trying to find something to mine.
First question...do the new mining areas show up on the NavMap when I use the Mineable Zones feature? This question was asked earlier in this thread, but I don't think it was answered.
If not then I guess I gotta fly around farther off from stuff until I see rocks...
I was mining copper in one of the fields that DO show up in the Mineable Zones Map...and was getting very little. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Yes they do. They're also almost always marked by something - a nav bouy or something like that.

Something related: Unless it's changed since last time I checked, you only need one mining turret; you can put combat turrets in the other slots for self-defense.
You didn't ask, but you might still find that useful.

Also some area's that do show up as minable? give nothing. Mostly the older vanila fields.

Specially in the omegas the mining fields are marked; the cobal field has miners. And as Thexare said you only need 1 mining turret; though in some cases even with comat turrets you will have a hard time against pirates.
Since you have Daumann ID and IFF and everything I recommend you this http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=27382;)
Most(if not all) factions will give you access to their mining/trading database which is of course of great help
