Hey everyone, I have played Freelancer Discovery for many years but never really got into Mining. I recently created a character that works for DSE, pilots a Hegemon and mines in Alberta. I was wondering whether you guys find mining to be fun and/or rewarding? I really enjoy finding new trade routes and calculating which ones are the most profitable, discovering new stations or systems I haven't visited before is what I enjoy the most about Freelancer Discovery.
Question 1: In terms of mining, is shooting little space rocks fun for you guys or do you find it boring or tedious after a while?
Question 2: I encounter many transports with 5000 ore -- how much time does it take to actually acquire that much ore to fill a large transport? (hauler)
Just wondering what the community's thoughts are regarding mining, I have read it is very profitable but I'm not certain it is the best profession for me after trying it out for a few days. Any tips or tricks on how to mine are much appreciated, I have read various Mining Guides but many seem to be labelled as outdated.
