' Wrote:The small miners can still mine into their own cargo hold and then jettison the ore into space (and repeat) until a transport arrives, then mine directly into the transport. It's not as good as before all these changes but I wouldn't say they are "forced" to wait.
Have you ever tried jettisoning cargo in the mine fields of Dublin? Most of the time it's immediately destroyed by the mines. And in the time it takes to jettison the cargo from a Basalt you could've mined that same amount again. So production capabilities of Basalts have been halved unless they have a hauler with them.
I'm not happy at all. You try and do something different and you're knocked back with the stick. I may as well just go buy a Hegemon and be a silent powerminer.

Would a command similar to "jettison all cargo" that can be linked to a keystroke help?
(Sarcasm) Yea, yeah, right great job with adding collision effect to fighter's hull directly because right now I have to repair my ship everytime I leave a formation of fighters or everytime a player rams into me by mistake.
To be more precise , flying with a fighter has become now useless and you need to dock more often now to repair the hull, I say remove the shields too as they are now almost useless.
Can't you please leave collisions effect only o n l y to capital ships ? Just please...

Something like "bind [A] = jettison all cargo"
That'd be grand.

Good point about Dublin and the mines. I forgot about those. Other fields don't have mines though.
Yes, Basalt wouldn't work with jettisoning every few seconds because its cargo is so tiny. The other little miners would though. I am on your side, I like the old style better.

Quote:What is going on with Chiemsee Asteroid Field in Munich system?
Drop rate of Copper ore is ridiculous (~3 ore per stone)
Yesterday I try mine there and it was good. Is field nerfed or what?
Quote:I'd like real data to back up your opinion please. Mine a field for 10 minutes and post the results here.
Cannon asked for data then data is what I'll give him.
Mining survey
Where: Munich, Chiemsee Asteroid Field Ship: Hegemon Id/IFF : Krueger Minerals Guns: Transport Mining turrets Result: 916 units of Copper Ore in 10 minutes. Opinion: Too low. It needs a boost. Munich could use more activity.

You mined it out. Try somewhere else for a day or two.

No, this is the design target. All active fields are intended to drop around 1000 units in 10 minutes. This is particularly true of safe fields like this one.
Fields that drop more than this - generally - will be nerfed.

What about dangerous fields?
I.e. Omega-11's diamond fields near the star, and the Grande and Pequena Negras in Texas?
