A friend of mine who I do not see very often theses days due to life and distance, I discovered that he plays ED and has been one of the top explorers in ED, with all kinds of distance records etc. So clearly for some people its prefect. Hence the saying, 'Horses for courses'.

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

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.TorTorden wrote:That's funny.

I only do exploration because Im nosy, and like to look around. The 2 trips to Colonia got about 100 mil. It took two weekends.
In two weekends I could mine way over 100 mil, and despite what some think. It is NOT boring.
Now with 7 collectors instead of 4, I cant even stop to go to the loo, without losing money. I like it when pirates come by and shoot at me. I just dump mines out until they go boom, then right back to making pebbles. I mine a sector when the price is high, and either go to another mining local, or go explore for a bit.Orochimaru wrote: you have Star Trek a series about exploration not Star Mining, a series about miners discussing minerals, stones and drill bits.

I see you have never played Federation & Empire. Where your job as a star ship captain is to keep the trade lanes open, so the raw materials from miners can be flown to the core, and made into spare parts for your ship, beans, band-aids, and bullets too.
No it is not sexy, but its a fun, easy way to make creds. If I want sexy, Ill hire an Orion Slave Girl.
