It's alright I guess, certainly not as bad as I thought it would be, watching the little drones shuttling back an forth is quite fun.

I could see how this would be relaxing whilst doing something else


How is the pay though? You finding Painite or whatever it is they buy for lots of $$$ ?


Crap so far, found a couple of T od gold, but mostly lower value stuff. Have only given it about 20 mins, I think you need a better location than I have

from watching videos, you need to be selective on which rocks you mine, and the site makes all the difference.

Well I tried it for a couple of hours and made feck all money, then went to a High RES for some pew pew and made ten times as much in less than half the time. I'm sure if you can be bothered to search for a pristine ring then there is possibly money to be made, but in terms of credits per hour mining is never going to be at the top of the list me thinks, very relaxing mind you, I'll give it that.

Well that's out of the blue......A reply from support within 8 hours on a Sunday.......Well impressed.....

Basically they are aware of the problem and looking into it, but at this point in time cannot work out why it's happening......

I made two discover trips, fun to do, 700+ LY out of the bubble was the furthest, made 7 million.
At the 87th birthday party of my father I found out a nephew is also playing this game, he did not understand why I joined a group when 700ly out.... :)
Now back to trading again.
VoiceAttack is cool! (and it lowers my hart-beat that I know I only have to shout "battlestations" when attacked and only have to find my trigger)
