- I finally get to try some mining in the prospector, but things don't go according to plan. As usual.

When you get big, remember all of us who were here before 1k.
Absolutely he should
Haha I won’t forget, our community is so awesome I feel like I’ve already made it lol
@@CaptainFlynn117you absolutely have!
He's past 1k
Yes please remember us 😂🫡
"Best view in the verse"
I will say, the Prospector has a phenomenal view, but for visibility, nothing beats the MISC Reliant series.
Your max range indicates the max range of your laser. If you are past it then your laser is not making contact with the rock. Start low and slowly increase your power. Based on distance you can determine the power level you need to hold the level in the rock and that gives you the number you need to increase and decrease power. This is how we mine. Good luck.
Great info, thanks!
@@CaptainFlynn117 I bound my mining laser power level to a slider on my joystick. Gives me full and instant control over the laser intensity, so I can back off when the level jumps on unstable rocks. Much better experience than the mouse wheel.
You can always count on Star Citizen to glitch out, lose your cargo, then hit you with a crime stat as a cherry on top.
your the only person i watch star citizen please never give up your videos are amazing
Thanks man I appreciate it, really glad you enjoy the videos!
"It's not working again, so I shoot at it" - that's a solution, too I guess
Close to 1K subs, hell yeah!
Tiny hint: never request take-off (open hangar doors) and then repair and refuel your ship. Those doors might close on you before the ground services are done and your ship gets impounded. Those ground control guys don't 'eff around ;) I halfway expected that to happen, in good ol' Flynn style ;D
Another entertaining vid, keep 'em coming! Looking forward to the org/multicrew one, sadly could not participate. Well, pretty much a lone wolf anyways.
Good to know, haha yeah I’m surprised it hasn’t happened to me yet. One of these days we’ll get you in a multi crew session. Glad you enjoyed!
I started playing SC back in 2012 (on and off of course). Watch videos on it regularly, and only now have come across your channel. I'm so bored of the patch note breakdowns, how to make 10m/h, and tutorial videos. I just want gameplay. EXACTLY like this. You're just showcasing the game by just playing the different roles and it's such a good take. As a full time prospector and mole miner this was hard to watch but this is great content. I will be subscribing and watching all your videos.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoy it! Yeah I know what you mean, it seems like every SC creator is just doing news, guides, and ship reviews. Nothing wrong with that, but like you said there's hardly anybody just playing the game for fun. It's because the general consensus is that you'll never get views just doing gameplay, but since I never care about views I decided to just create what I'm passionate about, and ironically it seems to be what sets me apart lol
Just restarting my own SC jounrey and debated recording and uploading myself. Your enthusiasm, pace and sheer enjoyment or the verse is addictive! Only found you this week and happy to say I am subbed and sticking around!
congrats on 1k flynn! it’s so great to be a part of this community.
Thanks man! Yeah this community is pretty amazing
Man, I'm glad you decided to do this. I really love mining.
You should look into venturing into the Aaron Halo!
It's a hidden location you can't find on the star-map. You drop out of quantum at certain ranges between locations and you have an entire asteroid belt to play around in. Some regions are dense, some sparse. It's really neat!
That sounds awesome! I’ll have to check it out sometime
You can earn more by choosing a refining method with a higher yield. I usually go for the high yield, low cost one, which is just very slow. usually around 24 hours.
Then I just leave it refining and go for more loads in the mean time. Once I have all my loads refining, I go off and do something else, and return in a cargo ship to pick them all up at once when they are done refining.
The 600i has a great bridge view, as does the Fury.
it would be cool if you could quantum skip like dip in an out quickly to go far in short sprints for a massive fuel cost whilst being extremely dangerous.
I like to get about 3 solid work orders done (FERRON Exchange method for higher yield) before taking a trip to the TDDs. With the mole bags and 48 SCU per run, ive been averaging around $225K per load or $600K ish per TDD run. The fun thing about mining is that it involves a bit of exploration, then the mining, refining process, and then going to sell it is similar to space trucking. It has cargo/mining/exploration all wrapped up in 1 loop. It feels very blue collar which i think is alot of fun in a game
Yeah that’s a really good point about it being all 3 loops combined, I never thought about it that way
as far as peaceful ventures go, cargo hauling is the best reward but the highest risk. When the servers are acting up, a single mistake can set you back hours of play time. Salvaging and mining earn less, but risk less too - if you lose a load you often are only out the time used on that load. They are also a little consistent in their engagement, with cargo hauling part of the challenge is the rapid hurry-up-and-wait transitions.
Man, I love your enthusiasm for this game. Please keep these videos coming and keep up the great work!
Thanks man, glad you enjoy them!
if you like the prospector this much, you would love Haul-A, that interior is superb. A plus
Sadly I've never been in one, maybe one day!
You're the first channel that has me invested in SC. Seems most other channels focus on the combat (which is lacking imo) I like your slice of life style videos of mining and hauling far better!
Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoy them!
you could of done the on and off laser method to get the rock to crack it is safe in some way if u back up if u over do it
Space mining i find that i get spun around far to easily and often cant tell where i've been and where i was heading to.
Admittedly with planets it's very similar, I wish there was some sort of instrument that would show your relative position to a ground plane or something, or just a way to set a waypoint or something.
In this form of space mining when your relatively close to a station it's not so bad but if you head into the halo, there are clusters every direction you point and you can get pretty confused sometimes.
Re getting into the halo "Dragons Corner Gaming" did a good and easy to reproduce video explaining how to do it.
what i do is when i get to where i am going to mine i set a route to somewhere and note weather its on my left or right then i pick a heading yesterday on daymar i was @160 heading whenever i need to get my bearing i make sure wherever i set my quantum route to is behind, me and then find 160 and stay on that course , hope that helps

Honestly I just started watching you a few vids ago and I'm really enjoying the content, keep it up
Thanks, I’m really glad you’re enjoying it!
Just stumbled upon your channel a week ago and I‘ve been enjoying all of your uploads! Idk I‘m thinking about getting this game and just seeing how different missions can play out, in such a calm environment idk it just suits me. It’s exactly what I enjoy lol
Keep up the good work! You deserve all the love for your content
Hey thanks man, I appreciate it! Really glad you are enjoying them. Yeah the verse is ton of fun, it can be a little janky at times but man I’ve never had an experience quite like it
I prefer prospector mining on moons but each is fun. I basically atleast crack any rock with 30% or more of one of the tier 1 ores. BTW, if u get someone with a Mole u can meet them in space somewhere and put the mole bags on your prospector and go from 32 to 48 SCU of cargo. Once u put them on the prospector, just store vehicle, go into vehicle loadout manager, unequip something and save, re-equip something and save.. U will now permanently have a 48 SCU prospector (Which is a MASSIVE difference in profit per run)
Oh that’s cool, I don’t personally have a mole but that’s definitely something to keep in mind if I ever get one
Amazing to see how fast your growing as a youtuber
Yeah it’s pretty crazy man, hopefully it slows down at some point because it’s hard to keep up with everything
Will i ever play SC? No, but i will give credit where credit due, this is probably the best space mining i have seen yet
I’m so happy ur uploading every 2 days 🤗 great video as always 👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed! I might not always be able to keep the pace up, but I’ll try
I love these sc videos, they are so chill! Also congrats for 1.1k subs, some days ago you were at 500!
I’m really glad you enjoy them! Thanks, yeah it’s kinda crazy lol the support has been insane
Was thinking about doing some Mining myself. Seems like it makes decent money overall! 10/10 video btw :)
Thanks man! Really glad you enjoyed it. Yeah you can make some good profit, without the risk of loosing your investment like cargo hauling
@@CaptainFlynn117 yeah, lost a ton of money a few hours ago running RMC to some guy hiding in a bush waiting for me to get back into my ship. Happened in a flash 😂
honestly, the Helix with double Focus III mods is best for asteroid mining. you can also scan rocks with the mining laser
Thanks for the video lad!
Great Video Flynn
Thanks again man, glad you enjoyed it!
building my new computer to play this game cant wait
That’s awesome! Hope you have fun in the ‘verse! I remember the first time I took my ship out, it was a pretty cool experience
first off, change one of those c3 modules to a focus 3. it will drop laser power slightly but you get a much larger charge window. second getting too close the rock can make it too easy to charge it, making overloads far too easy and more likely to happen. third, ive noticed that a prospector by itself is incapable of breaking rocks with a mass greater than or equal too 20k, regardless of laser power. and finally since a prospector is so small it is always best to pick and chose what you mine. only go for high value materials and refine them exclusively with dinyx solvenation if you want to go pure profit. it is the highest priced refinery option with the longest refinement times but it nets you nearly triple the amount of what you would get for just straight up selling the ore raw. corrmack method is certainly the worst of the options by far but it is the cheapest and quickest if you dont care too much about profit too much.
0:51 I too am a fan of the shoilet
as thinking about doing some asteroid mining so this vid came up in time haha
Very good content, keep it up, it will pay out for sure
Been here since day 1 finally hit 1k
The Reliant cockpit view is better, just slightly but still
I've never been in one, I plan to someday though
@@CaptainFlynn117 I currently got them all, hmu if you want to test fly one ;)
Love your work
love this video
Thank you! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed it!
How do you have such natural head movement? Is it a natural feature with mouse movement? Or do you play on KBM with a headset on? Mainly asking cause I saw the head tilt and that's not normal mouse movement.
I actually use an eye/head tracker, it's very handy especially during times when you can't use the mouse
I would be honoured to join you one day if youd have me in your crew
Feel free to join mate
Absolutely!
Miners are the best
LoL, great video! 😂
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Jump in a Reliant if you want an absolutely clear cockpit view. lol
is this game worth picking up just the base game?
I think it's worth it, as long as you understand it's a game still in active development. I've certainly gotten my moneys worth out of it
So do you actually make goood money or is it like grindy af? :)
Mining? It depends on what you mine, and what you want to buy. Everything is a grind to some degree, currently salvage is probably the best for pure money making, but I go for more enjoyment factor than anything, since there’ll eventually be a wipe anyways
Just wondering, what are yohr pc specs and what monitor do you use?
What are your PC specs? Im looking to buy a new PC and wanna make Sure i have good Performance in Star citizin atm i have barely 30 FPS :(
Everytime i see star citizen, i get sad my PC can't run it
Let's goo
congrats on getting 1k !!!!
Hilarious
