5.2.1 - patch notes

[Ramke]

An Arrastra could feed 2-3 5kers in comparison depending on the skill of the miner.

ceterum censeo: Please keep both versions of mining in all fields or reduce the asteroid density for easier flying (not the ore-asteroids, though, these could be a lot denser).

Correct, you mine slower overall compared to the old mining if you really try hard. Arrastras can't hold the gold so they'd have to wait for the 5kers to come and wait which is a bit of a pain.

But prices are higher so does that really matter? You still earn the same if not more:

The base price on refined Gold, Platinum and Deuterium is higher, and so is the yield from PoB recipes, to offset the increased mining time.
