Hegemon problems

[Darkseid667]

I've made about 10 million credits Hegemon mining since the patch and I've spent about 4.5-5 hours actually doing it. On an indie ID (3.0x multiplier). Had I instead traded the stuff to a more remote location, like a BMM base in New London, I'd likely have made a healthy 6 million or so. Regardless, it's good stuff and that's with the PoB(s) heavily undercutting NPC bases in terms of HRC price.

Currently using a Hegemon to mine Gold Ore is likely a bit too fast. The primary benefit of slowing it down a little bit is that more remote PoBs would be more viable, as mining time would represent a more significant portion of the time spent collecting ore compared to travel time, making the latter less of a factor. I have not tried other mineables much so I don't have much of an opinion there.

If you're spending upwards of a minute mining a single asteroid in a Freighter or Fighter miner you are probably forgetting to mount missiles. Admittedly I don't think we mentioned that we strongly suggest using those on smaller ships outside of the balance notes.

After some testing I highly doubt these numbers now. Due to the increased size of the ship you can't get THAT quickly from asteroid to asteroid.
5000 ore plus transport time every 30 minutes, multiplied by price in Connacht Depot mulitplied by 8 or 9? Makes 5-7 mio in that time.
