Mining

[Harcourt.Fenton.Mudd]

Ok took the time to TIME a run.

I had a waypoint into the mining zone before hand.

I launched, targeted the waypoint,, turret moded, F2'd and then immeditly targeted the moor for GC.

When I got in the mining zone, I killed GoTO, and came ot a stop, enterd cockpit view, and activated mouse flight, then begain shooting stuff.

When full, hit F2 to return to moor, speed docked, sold.

I was chatting BREIFLY with another miner, and mostly kept shooting while doing so. With chances for random drup values and random 'stuff happens' interference, I feel that did not corrupt the data.


Ten minutes Five seconds (10:05) round trip for 4.9mil credits.

At ten minutes per trip, in an hour you can make 29.4 mil in a mining ship mining at omega 49.

In THREE and a half hours, you can make 102.9 (as a baseline for 100mil)

As I understand, the better trading routes pull in MUCH more than that in 5k transports, but I havent power traded since .84 so Im not sure.

If possible could a trader with good routes do a round trip and time it from launch to final sell, so we could compare, that would help greatly.

But as stands, it seems rather pointless to mine. I'm going to do a trade run with my mining ship, see how it compares.
