If you are looking for an incredible organization experience I highly recommend the "Black Shields". Ask me about them :) - Hry
Lol. Watching this Sunday morning while mining the same areas, sipping coffee in southern Michigan
Hey Jeff! I grew up down that way :) Go Mitten!!! :)
Sounds like a vibe man! I’m thinking of taking a break from eve and getting into star citizen, is now a good time?
Eating a slice of Pizza, a portion of Cheesy Garlic Bread, a few potato chips and drinking a bottle of beer, while watching and listening to SpaceShorts (V)........awesome!!
That sounds amazing :)
It would be great if I could voice command my ship! "Set course for Crusader. Engage!"
"Shields up!"
You can with Voice Attack :)
This
Theres also Wingman AI
I used to live in the Grand Rapids area fellow Michigander. Now i live in Thailand :) like your videos. See you in the verse
Very cool! Thailand sounds exotic and fun! Love it :)
Ships ought to have radios in them so we can listen to futuristic music while mining.
I like this idea :)
eh dude love the chill vid.
You can cut down some serious time...after you jump to Cellin, pull up your map, zoom onto Cellin and select one of the outposts to jump to.
You can also hit G to toggle gimble on your crosshair for precise mouse targeting when scanning rocks.
Also, I 100% agree with you about the state of the game...has been running very well for me. Had 3 server errors freezes...but each time 5min later it reconnected to another server. Once Servermeshing is added...whole new ball game.
I just figured out that scanning single target vs, multie spread out targets using V and Tab to scan. Been alot smoother mining now. Made 450k in 6hrs today.
Nice mining, have fun! o7
Tip: I like how you zoomed into the HUD, I would suggest doing more zoom-in's on the HUD for the scan material display on the right. The blue text is so hard to see, even in game at times xD. Cheers!
Great Tip :)
Great video, as always!
Thank you :)
I noticed taranite turned off. I been noticing this when I mine. But I see it went through to be refined. When ever you pick more then one ore. One seems to turn off. When I had this happen to me, I thought I would loose it. So I just sold all the ore as is. But I can see when you did this, the ore went on to be processed. So now I know it will be there if it turns off in the contract manager
It does toggle to "off" but it's always refined, if you moved it... it just goes back on the screen, but still includes it :)
One thing i like to do when im approaching a moon is half jump to a OM marker and it gets you heaps closer to the surface.
I like it, I'll give it a try :)
This is a great video! If you want to go more in depth with your prospector I recommend taking both of your mining lasers. I like to detach my helix and tractor beam the mining head through your prospector door from the top of the ladder. Store the ship and attach the hofstede. Bringing some mining gadgets and extra modules can be fun too!
That's a really good idea. Where are putting that laser physically to bring it? I've never tried that. I did think a cool Mole upgrade was having external saddles where you could carry more mining heads...
@@SpaceShortsYT It’s a tight fit, but if you stand inside your prospector you can open the ladder and tractor the laser right through the open door. I keep my lasers next to my bed.
Last night I got the mole bags on my prospector thanks to your tip! Cheers
@@Chill.Gaming Absolutely love it. Also, that's a nice upgrade for the Prospector. Increases it's profitability, bigtime.
enjoyed this. got a prospector and having a vague idea on what to do is handy. Would be interested in seeing a prospector interact with an expanse (is that right name, the concept small refiner) and even more interested if both could fit within the cargo hold of an ironclad :P
Prospector + Expanse... you and me both! :)
your blowing my mind on some of the rocks you skip! I do quick trips and many of them because i fill up fast due to unwanted rocks but i just do lots of them!
Thanks for the video!
I try and get a little more Tier 1 on board, but there's an argument to be made for being too picky~!
@@SpaceShortsYT for the purpose of streaming i like you being picky. Lets me watch your thought process and i learn more vs if you just scooped up everything. Picky vs Non Picky may be in the noise level as to which makes more profit per hour.
my 1st few trips will be non picky quick trips with 32 SCU bags on prospector. I will need some quick money in the bank. after that i will refine my methods. Normally I am not as picky as you but pretty close... 60% tier one vs Your 75% tier one.
Love your videos!
Thank you!
Right on! You explained the Mole, Prospector, and follow-up scanning very well. I have a request. Can you revive the Reclaimer and Vulcan for salvage in the same format?
Macedon (a friend) does a great Scanning video for the Salvage Panels, check that one out :)
yeah Cellin is my favorite spot! I think best spot for quant. Also when leaving Cru L1 some times good space rocks.
Definitely!
I have a soft spot for lyria / ARC-L1 ... Old habits die slowly.
A tractor beam on the prospector would be perfect
That would be cool :)
@@SpaceShortsYT Ya and a little drone bay to launch gadgets into rocks
Earned a sub mate, excellent prospector video with my personal choice of setup with laser and gadget....
What would you suggest would be your limit on size rocks that you would crack with that?
It's somewhere between 10-12k in the upper limits, depending on instability and resistance. :) But the Hof is so easy on the secondary breaks :)
Ever knew you could buy bigger bags for the prospector!
They make the Prospector considerably more profitable :)
@@SpaceShortsYT What do you mean "They made it considerably more profitable" ? Can you tell me where did you get that information? Please. I'm in a process of buying a MOLE or a Propector. Thank you.
Very nice
Thank you :)
hosftede is more beginner laser once u want to get those bigger rocks i prefer the helix with reiger 3 and focus 3 and crack 18k rocks and still get the small ones just use distance ..
I agree :)
Is Cellin the go to for solo? The refinery doesn’t give you any bonuses though.
Cellin has the 1-3 mass index, (which is the smallest). So it's very well suited for Solo. It's true though, if you are looking to mix/max and don't care about time then CRU-L1's bonuses are not great. MIC-L2 is god mode on bonuses, +9% Gold, + 9 Bex%, and +1% Quant. I haven't been too concerned about it lately because I think there is a wipe coming at some point later this year ;)
I find that I don't bother switching modes once I'm on the surface because normally it's not a massive distance. For ROC mining I keep my SCM lower anyway. Lately though, I've not been getting ping returns, might be user error since I don't fully grasp all the ping/scan changes on the UI - have you found the cargo grid bug (which many use to dupe with) preventing you from doing your refinery runs?
You won't get many ping returns if PIERC is 99%. You need to ping with PIERC at 50% (or 0%), then close it (set it higher and higher) and you approach the teardrop icons that signify the rocks, try that. Haven't had a cargo bug myself you...
Is the processing option Dinyx Solventation the most Money bringing way i wanted to ask?
It's the least expensive, saves the most yield, but takes the longest to process :)
@@SpaceShortsYT Thanks for the Info!
You mentioned breaking out of QT early but never said how you do it. Can some elaborate?
If you look at a planet (in this case Crusader) there are rings around it on the star map. Once inside those rings, you can "turn off the quantum" by hitting "U" and killing your power. Then just power back up, choose a different direction (like Daymar, Yela, or Cellin) and head directly to them. Basically stop your quantum drive by powering down as you get "close" to Crusader, but you are not there yet... and redirect.
Love the hof too. I either do that or get an impact with a rieger and a focus on it
What do you think of that kind of build?
The Impact is another great option. I absolutely use the Impact size 2 on my Mole. I should try it on the Prospector with a Rieger / Focus. Good lookin' out :)
@@SpaceShortsYT Thanks for the tips on the mass index, so much easier to get smaller rocks out there instead of the belts
What do you use to move the refined ore?
a C1 if less than 64 SCU or a C2 (if there is alot) :)
One other thing is I think the game is more stable now. Older 3.18+ versions had server crashes where i lost everything on ship and person. It seems to be better. I had one 3.23 server crash and it reloaded from the replication layer so I lost nothing.
In 3.18 or 3.19 i tried to play but the game was to unstable for me to get money in the bank. Half the time i went out the game would crash while mining. Then for me 2 out of 3 refined mining loads got delivered due to server crashes. (one at the selling terminals at Area18, the other with a loaded up taurus in space. Seems i delivered one load after 3 tries). Any way it seems more stable but I only played a couple hours ferrying ships. Mining still makes about half as much with lots of new stuff to learn. It is a little more boring than 3.17 with no threat of a quantum timer. That said, if it steadily makes money without game stability loses i am game to try again.
stability is why i never tried cargo hauling for money. i figured the game is gonna crash 1 in 20 times so why deliver cargo for 10% profit.
It's very true, Mining doesn't make nearly as much, but I enjoy it. And it's been much more stable of late. I think it'll begin to shine when we get some manufacturing or base building. We'll see though :)
Darn I missed it ... Just completed a CCU chain to get a Herc C2 for $260. It was missing a war bond on the Vanguard Harbinger which i got this Invictus. I also got a left hand VKB to replace my throttle... i am having a very hard time figuring out master modes. In Nav mode i barely give it gas and she ship is zooming. Its like in a car barely pushing the gas and your car zooms up 60 mph ... Ha ha
I agree. The new flight model takes a little getting used too for sure :)
@@SpaceShortsYT Just finished watching the vid it was Good stuff and very informative.
On the youtube vid my 60 year old eyes had problems reading the %'s of various elements on the HUD. Hoping zoom will help that in game. With new Left VKB i am resetting all my controls so there is a lot to figure out. I used to use duel A/C throttles right was throttle / left was speed. I had yaw on feet and roll on flight stick. Now with VKB i have rud is throttle, kinda like a car.... Left stick is strafe vert. or side... twist is yaw ... right stick is trad A/C pitch / roll.
Ok i am some what relearning to fly ha ha. strafe is more accurate .. speed control is less accurate and have occasional wrong inputs. New master modes and speed trim and speed cruise control changes don't help. Gear braking is convenient as a speed brake BUT no fool in real life will drop gear above 300 knots so it kinda breaks my immersion. The real world has Aero forces (in atmos not space) which only speed brake are designed to take.
Any how with all new modes and me redoing all bindings there is a lot to figure out. It's just pure trial and error.
loving mining but hating so many rocks i cant break!
Cellin really has plenty of small rocks :)
If Theo Von played Star Citizen 😂
LOL! He's hilarious.
How do you get the mole bags on there?
Great question! I have another video, I just did that explains it. But you essentially unlock the ship ports with "right-alt & k", and then pull them off with a hand tractor, then do the same with the Prospector and take the mole bags and snap them into the Prospector. Check that video out :)
Please go a how to scan video. I have no clue! see 75k mass rock..WTF CIG?
I need to do a "how to scan" video, I'll work on it :)
@@SpaceShortsYT, yep i am confused with all the changes. A Mining video for 3.23 Modes and Scanning would be nice. I know you and others have tons of older vid's on this but all has changed and i need to rebind every thing. If its well done and has catchy title, it might get you lots of views coz THIS SC seems really improved in terms of stability so lots of people may return to the game and mining. Just concentrate on the main modes... i need to bind my sticks and learn how to switch modes while mining. A lot of that stuff is in this video. It's just not the focus.
I think I saw SCAN mode is a submenu of NAV mode but Mine Mode is a sub mode of SCM mode. you said 50% scans .. is that like the old 90 degree vs 20 degree Vscans or pings. Before my hands were busy swapping mine mode / scan mode and reseting pings wide or narrow. Reading and remembering which codes where salvage or mining stuff or hand mine stuff. Now i am confused again .... again its all trial and error.
All I need to know is; is scanning fixed?
If you in a mining vehicle :)
Try Spacebourne 2
Thanks, I'll take a look at it :)
Good game! X4 foundations is also good. Looking forward to the timelines DLC.
I was loving this and then you said STAR CITIZEN IS RUNNING GREAT. WTF man you been playing this patch? It's the least playable I've seen it in the last year.
That just hasn't been my experience. It's been incredibly stable for me. I have a 7800x3d with a 4090.... so maybe that's why? Not sure, I haven't had "any" problems for the most part. I can't speak for others :)
The andromeda isn't worth the 200k, for 30 less storage you can rent the freelancer, it's 62k to rent has 20more storage than the cutlass black, the andromeda is a massive rip off
It is pretty expensive to rent :)
