Started mining at around 17:30 my time, took quite a while, and we found we were in the wrong field. Moved by Dusty and re-started around 18:00 my time.
Took us about an hour to fill the 5k transport half way, then the server crashed for 15 minutes, then we restarted, again took us another hour or so to fill up the transport.
The mining ships continued working, and I accompanied the first transport to New York, where we sold the ore, picked up some Lux Consumer Goods and returned to New London.
The next transport took a little longer to finish off, and we repeated it.
Total time taken: 2 hours, 15 minutes.
Total amount raised per person: 11 million credits. Not including me. This was between 10 people, 8 mining ships, 2 traders.
Total amount per person per hour: Around 4.5 million credits.
Now excuse me, but we were using the field Dusty showed us, we were shooting rocks like madmen and trading as fast as we could, and I could get more money singing in front of manhattan for pennies.
This is terrible if you ask me. The average yield of ore dropped was around 4 or 5, tops. In my opinion it should be closer to 20.
Mining needs to be re-looked at, and while I appreciate all your hard work Cannon and Dusty, the thing you made best for us (Niobium) sells best at a base we are not allowed to dock on (The Ring). Cheers.
Seriously, if you want people to use any method except trading you need to make this better. This was a total waste of time.
