What are you doing (ingame) now?

You'd think you'd be trucking it out of there. Yikes.

Lets do "The Shining"....I'm back!

My wing mate got Horizons as well and we teamed up and took on a base mission. It was pretty hectic so no pictures. But we drove in in our rovers and each took a side. We ran the perimeters and took out the turrets. Then hacked the door terminals and got into the base. Drove around a bit and hacked the security systems and blew up the generator which was the mission. The ran for the exit and got 3 km out to recall our ships. We each made 360,000 cr

Here are some photos I took.

Hello,
Just got Horizons from Steam and it seems to have successfully linked to my FD account cause I can launch it from the FD launcher.
I have a feeling this has something to do with Rose giving FD and Origin a earful.
Have fun, fly safe. o7

Possibly

I also sent some goodies to the people that helped me. Gifted to them from Amazon.com.UK. God, the exchange rate was rough but I always show my appreciation when someone goes above and beyond for me.

BTW the lady I spoke to at FD was the receptionist and she took on the responsibility for setting things right.

Not sure why, after getting my beautiful trade Cutter and loving it, I got it in my head to give mining another go tonight.

I had a spare Anaconda, so why not? This is probably obvious, but the thing is a MUCH better mining ship than a Cobra.

I found rings with Pristine Metallic reserves, but I'm still pulling a lot of nearly worthless minerals. Not really expecting to make a huge profit either way, and I'm really just happy I'm able to put a lot of rocks in my cargo hold (as I struggled to do that in my Cobra last time), but I'm wondering what the trick is to getting gold, silver, palladium, painite, osmium, etc? Surely everyone isn't spending 3 hours hopping between rocks, and using 150 prospector limpets to find this stuff? I feel like I'm missing some trick.

Also, it's worth mentioning that when you are hunting down a place to mine, it helps to not make a typo in the system name, and end up 400ly out of your way. At least I'll probably make a ton of money on exploration data for my level 1 scans.

My miner is a Python and I'm not changing it for anything, tried other ships but it's just not s fun. Since it's cargo hold isn't as big I don't have to stay forever to fill it up and it maneuvers very well in the asteroid fields. Tried to mine with a T-9 once... seemed like forever until I filled up the hold.

I'm not at that level yet of being able to afford any of those ships but I found this video of a Keelback in mining action. Seriously considering it.

I thought about using my gunship, now that I'm done raining ballistic death on Metcalf keep, but it just doesn't have great internals for all the limpets, refinery, a shield, and cargo.

The Anaconda has that in spades, and plenty of hardpoints for mining and defense.

Now I just need to figure out the secret to finding actual metals in a pristine metallic ring...

Hello,
Found this trick of shooting of just one chunk from an asteroid and scanning it before sending in a prospector limpet. Read it from a website. It helped me save on limpets.
Hope this helps.
Have fun, fly safe. o7

That should help , thanks I've decided to go for that Keelback and take up something relaxing for a change.
