I would launch the 2 prospecting limpets then attack the better of the 2 asteroids. I would launch a third prospecting limpet while I cleared my hopper and waited for the collectors to finish. Then again attack the better of the 2. If both active prospecting limpets were on crummy asteroids i would start over.
After many wash and repeat cycles I blew through 60 limpets in about 30-40 min and made a tidy profit of 85k... It was a joke.
Keep in mind i didn't find a single ton of the two new mining materials, but still I feel it should be more profitable than that.
Leave a comment if you think I was doing something wrong or if you have had a different experience. If you want to take a look at my ship setup I put it under the spoiler heading.
