But I might actually take a second look at the keelback as well.
Basically what you want are mining lasers, refinery, a prospectors limpet controller, and as many collector limpets you can get without sacrificing too much cargo.

Then it's a matter of finding pristine metallic rings for the good stuff.
Here's a site that does it for you.

Excellent T6 Build. Leave the keelback for cargo runners, the T6 is the better miner.

Get into an AspX as soon as possible. 96 cargo is about an hour to hour and a half flight time.
Mainly 2 medium mining lasers, 4 mine racks (now your pod racing). Mine jumps 46ly, it goes nowhere fast.

Do only Pristine rings, metallic. Of all the out of game dodads I have, I use this one a lot.

Make darn sure you can jump to a station and sell, while your hold is full. When I first went to Colonia, I lost me donkey selling painite dirt cheap because my ship would not jump to where the money was.

Go to the lightest colored inner ring, dive into it where the light color begins, and travel towards the planet.
You will get disoriented while mining, but will not do the same roid again.

Use your laser sight to launch prospector limpets, and be less than a km away. You go faster than they do. Ive over taken them before. Carry 5 less limpets than you have cargo. In the AspX that will last you about an hour. Shoot them prospectors out as so as one lands, fire the next one out. The 3A module give you 2 limpets, I have one in motion constantly, until I strike painite.

This is what I look for:
Painite: Any percentage. It all adds up.
Platinum: above 15%
Palladium: only when it is with painite or platinum.

Stay away from the pirate gathering areas, until you like to use your mine racks. I have found riches in every part of the rings. Stay in the light of the star. I blew out my windscreen and had to land with 2 minutes of air left. No HUD either. Fun times :cry:

Opps late for work, will continue at a later time

I use the AspX as a miner, and a DBX for exploration. I flew both to Colonia, The DBX was better for my style of exploration gathering.
The difference is the DBX is a surgeon's scalpel, and the AspX is a battle ax.

You won't do mining but exploration.
Mining is ten times as action filled and thirty times as profitable.

No it is not sexy, but its a fun, easy way to make creds. If I want sexy, Ill hire an Orion Slave Girl.


Orion Slave Girl..? you can still get these... why have I not been informed..?????

If it's anything to do with the other monkey incident... I have a signed statement from Kharma that I was with him at the time this occurred!!

*cough* :oops:

Might be, but I have to try it, just to say it's boring because I know it's boring. Not saying you guys are wrong, just have to give it a try.

Also, you have Star Trek a series about exploration not Star Mining, a series about miners discussing minerals, stones and drill bits. Mining is not sexy.

Understand you have to try it for yourself but be warned....(and......there's no one to kill (although you will wish you had died))

Star Trek.......nope that does not work I am afraid. We cannot land on planets that would allow us 'to seek out....
By all means go were no one has gone before (and there is a good reason for that). And see if you enjoy it.


Oh cynical me...

I am flying a Type 6 for cargo runs, to gain REP and win some cash.
It's a good entry point cargo hauler, but it's sure no fighter. So I have configured my T6 to a "get-out-of-Dodge-fast!" configuration. If I stay behind and try to fight, I will be dead for sure.

In summary I added: the biggest cargo bays, improved armor and shields (added a Shield Cell Bank), added a Point Defense Turret, better thrusters and FSD. Absolutely no weapons.

I am (too) crazy?


if you ever need backup let me know I don't mind running interference for fellow pilots :)
