Mining for fun and profit

[Ximen_Benitez]

I'm getting 3 - 17 max artifacts in the Theta cloud. I have a mining ship, Corsair ID and tag, and I'm using mining lasers. Is this normal?

Short version. Yes.

I'll wait until tomorrow to ask for the long version.

I would love to hear the longer version.

Bonuses seem to be working great here. Yield more than doubled with lasers, mining ship and proper tag for where I'm mining.

Just as we reap the golden wheat, must we also cut free of the chains! [eS]

I have an IMG Guard Tag and Guard ID, but shooting Niobium rocks in Tau-37 only yields 1-7 per rock.

I'm in a Cruiser, for the record.

I don't think there's any bonus tied to Guard ID's... Now that I think about it.

But if you aren't using a mining laser, ID or ship, well, those drops are probably about right to be honest.

The smelter in PR for the junkers buys all sorts of metals for a prize just a bit under 1k per unit. 800 or 900 or such, copper, gold, so on. Junkers are not only about scrap, IMHO they should get bonuses to all metals and a few of the minables that are right next to their bases: silver for example.

I'm in a mining ship, with regular tag and ID, and mining lasers and i'm getting 5x those numbers AT LEAST.

Oh but I'm in Tau23 if that makes a dif

is there difference in amount of mined material per shot if I have 1 or 7 mining guns?

[eyvind]

No, the laser yield bonus for each roid you shoot is determined by what gun actually shoots it. On my miner I only have 2 mining turrets, because more is a waste of potential deterrence.

Swapped to a Mining Ship last night. Drops tripled, but only due to the lazers. D:
