Finally, a video showing you can scroll on the refinery shop kiosk. Makes the hours I spent searching for it a little better knowing someone else may not have to go through it.
Yeah me mate as well. Two weeks before i realised. Also got stuck at my first orbital station for an hour because i couldnt find pad two on the elevator menu haha
Right, let me make a statement: Your channel has the mos comprehensive and best explained mining Videos on youtube. This is by far the best you've made on this subject AND just to flex you let us know that you can scroll horizontally at the store!!! Also the Rock categories, I always thought they were random or cosmetic. M or Q it is! These informations will go directly into my chairmans's club notebook and it will be the first entry into it! I'll break out the Mole tomorrow morning, have a rum before noon and listen to my list of podcasts, now including Launch Sequence (space tomato owes you money or at very least a key ring) But first I'll need to go step by step to make the notes. I'm guessing the equipment for the mole would be analogue to the prospector, just more expensive. Awesome work, thank you!
Thanks Farrister! ✌️ Here are some other coordinates for the Aaron Halo ArcCorp to Hurston - 13,500,000 from Hurston Hurston to ArcCorp - 9,500,000 from ArcCorp
In order to not go in circles, you can reduce the angle of your scan by using the , and . keys to change the angle. By default, your ship scans for 10km in a 360 degree scanning angle. By hitting the . key, you can reduce it to 180 degrees or 90 degrees, whichever you prefer in order to avoid going in circles. My preference is 180 degrees :)
I just follow the quantum marker for ARC L3, it keeps me going straight while getting fresh asteroids. When I find a good one, I just set my destination to CRU L1 and head back when done.
Asteroid mining seems suited to a Prospector. I like it because it's safe but it can get a little boring with the lack of scenery. I prefer solo MOLE mining on Lyria, just looking for rock clusters. Using a Surge module and a Lancet I can break any size rock, even over 7000. With a little luck I end up with 30-60 SCU of quant per run, in about 20 minutes.
With a combination of Surge and Stampede you can break up to 8k rocks with a Prospector too, but you have to be prepared to explode a few times while practicing…
@@chokit0733 On Lyria, cruise around mountain ranges at 2000m altitude, at like 80% max velocity. You don't need to actively ping, just look for clusters of rocks that pop up at 5000m range. Clusters are always quant. Slam on the brakes, get within 500m to actively scan. If they don't scan at first, you can usually get them to register by firing lasers at them. If the shots go through, it's not scannable but eventually the shots will visually land on the rocks, then you can scan them. Most are like 2% quant but I can almost always find 30-40% rocks within 20 minutes or so. SAL-2 is the most popular area on Lyria to look for quant but I'm not convinced it's the most lucrative.
Great guide. I didn't know you could manually target the mining laser, thanks for that tip! I tend to set my quantum destination before doing any scanning, and then I use that as my bearing indicator.
Thanks for this short and fully understandable guide. Now I would definitely try this part of the game. I used to mining on Rock, but it's quite frustrating.
Thanks for sharing. We are directed into doing tasks that will make us money in-game during the Alpha testing. This is why every patch, the "meta" changes, and people do (test) other things. A past example of this is when the focus was on ROC mining, and another example is when you could run three single boxes (or more) missions at a time. Once the devs are satisfied with how things work, they move on to another task, then we also move along. In the future, when Salvage comes out, we should see this Quantainium mining decrease to make everyone move along. "Nothing to see here!"
Very Well done. You could do a "Safety" Video on some Tricks & Tips on Things you can do to stay safe. Like interdiction spots. For me it's between Arc-corp & Arc-L1 been caught there about 5 times, 3 for 2 in escapes vs deaths.
Great video Farrister. Now I know how to find the asteroid belt, and essentially how to mine Quantainium. I've always been rather hesitant to go after it as I know how unstable it can be. Who knows, maybe I'll give it a try. I've always found mining relaxing and enjoy it a lot. I usually prefer to mine asteroids over mining on the surface of moons or planets. Less likely of running out of fuel and crashing. Thanks for the video, take care, fly safe and I'll see you in the verse.
Farrister, what might make a fun video is maybe the Rings of Aaron's Halo and how it is divided into 8 bands. As for mining in the Halo, I have found Band 1 to be absolutely overrunning with Quantainium. Bands 4 and 6 are also excellent places. I still need to map out Band 8. Band 7 had lots of minable ore but not much Quan. Band 5 is a mixed bag. I've not fully mapped out Band 2 & 3 also.
@@Farrister exactly, I scaled down from the fastest units (VK-00 and the Siren) to the Atlas (Voyager also good). This would allow slower spin up to max speed and also greater precision on shorter hops. Plus, you can make multiple jumps without the risk of having no fuel because the Atlas sips Quantum fuel while the VK-00 gulps it like a starving dog.
The one key point you didn’t mention is why there’s a timer and the repercussions if you fail to reach the unloading zone in an opportune time. Old players know it blows up your ship if left to rot too long in your ship but it may not be that obvious to knew players.
Try a Sabre, in case you haven't. When comfortable with that, maybe even a Gladius. Or maybe you tried that one too? A Vanguard is notoriously slow to maneuver and HRT's still contain (very) fast ships in the mix. Started out in a Vanguard Sentinel and used it forever doing bounties. But now with the new rework in place, I've completely fallen for the Sabre. It is my go to right up to VHRT. Usually I have to return for service not because of damage, but because I run low on fuel as I keep chaining them together one after another. She can take a beating, as long as you don't treat her like a tank-y vanguard of course. Smaller, so harder to hit. Rarely do I need to bail for a second to recharge my shields. Good old Sabre.
@@Ponyfox thanks for the info! I really think it’s the maneuverability of the vanguard, I just love the interior though so it’s difficult. Been wanting a Sabre and may have to be my next purchase with the quantainium proceeds 🙂
Just an FYI. I just started playing. I went to Shubin in New Babbage. I purchased the other 2 modules fine, but the is only one type of Vaux available.
quick question. AT 2:55, you state to change your mining mode to target. How do you do that? I cant seen to change mine off of lock mode. Im not very good with the keybindings in star citizen. I havent changed anything so it should still be the default button. What button that is exactly, idk lol
Hey Farrister, another great video, I just got back into playing SC again cause of this vid, took a long enough break. At 7:10 you mentioned we could rent a a Cutty Black, but I remember reading somewhere that you need to take all your cargo at once and can't do bit by bit, so like renting a Connie, do you know if that's been addressed or if it can actually be done with a cutty black filling in the cargo bit by bit?
You need to decant your order into a ship all at once, but essentially for a Prospector you just need something larger than 32SCU, so a Cutlass Black would be fine, although you'd need to do 1 order at a time. Bigger cargo ships can haul multiple orders
@@Farrister Thanks for the reply, I still have the same problem but I have went to the Shubin Interstellar shop in New Babbage and they have the required modules there, without having to scroll shop tabs. Thought I'd let know in case anyone else comes across this problem.
Excellent guide. Thank you! I do have one question: How do you change the targeting mode? I've looked through the Advanced Controls Customization in the Keybindings to try and figure it out, but I didn't see anything obvious. Probably because I was dazed from all staring into the void too much when I'm mining! Thanks in advance for any info that you can share! Be well!
As a former Elite CMDR now switching to SC, this is an invaluable guide. As others have mentioned, I in fact DIDN'T know you could scroll horizontally on that screen! My only issue is, I've made enough off monitor missions to rent a Prospector and then a Cutty for hauling the quant, but if I had a larger load in refinement would a cutty not require multiple trips to sell? Also, is just finding one good rock enough to fill my hold in a Prospector? Or does it require mining multiple rocks whilst the timer counts down? Thank you!
Welcome to the 'Verse, glad it was helpful! If you have multiple refined loads, then yes, you could load them onto a ship larger than Cutlass, or you could do multiple Cutlass loads. One may be more economically efficient than the other. And a good rock can usually fill a Prospector - part of the scanning loop is finding a good rock to tackle!
just came back after a couple months out....where is the quant? in 3 hrs all i have found is 5 different rocks at 2%. Have they nerfed this? im in the roid belt...
I was reading an interesting article on Reddit which suggests that they are more prevalent at different distances. Indeed that there could be up to 9 'layers' - I haven't had chance to test yet
Man I really hope you see this, if you do could you explain what the Keybind is to change targeting modes in mining mode? during the video you switched from lock to target in mining mode to freelook around at ores while not having to move your entire vehicle, for the life of me I can't find the keybind for that. Help please!! you said this from 2:57 - 3:06 time wise.
Yes, I have a keybind set on my joystick. The keybind is specifically in the Vehicles - Weapons group, and is called Cycle Gimbal Assist/Standard Gimbal/Gimbal Lock Modes
@@Farrister It seems I don't have good control when handling Quantanium and always end up blowing up. I wish it at least caused damage to the ship but not destroy it the first time.
how do u switch the scan mode because i have no clue at all. Tried following the guide which is cool but the game is so frustrating as it tells ya feck all it annoys me as im just wasting time i just quit cos it pisses me off
They realy need to boost the Prospector Mining. im doing also 200k in 1h with my Roc. and dont have to w8 1 Day to deliver. and i dont have the Chanses of loosing all my Ores while i get a 30k.
I think the Prospector brings in more, can usually manage 2-3 full quantainium loads in an hour. And much less frustrating! But ROC is awesome, when you can find things :)
@@Farrister Okay. then im gonna test that. but the Rented one isnt realy good right? since i cant change the modules? I need to manage to get 2 mill for a real Prospector?
Im done with this game. I went all in with mining, been mining every day for a week, 10 hours a day. Renting the Prospector ship, and i barely make a profit. 50% of all rocks i find cant be scanned. the rest of the rocks i CAN scan has less than 3% of what im looking for. And in rare cases i find a rock with 10% Taranite or Bexalite, the mass is over 5000 and i cant mine it. Was watching this guide and ive spent over one hours flying around here and nothing. not a single fucking rock worth mining. The game server crashed 2 times today, respawn. my character got stuck in a cave, respawn. I glitched through the floor twice, respawn. I got booped out of my ship twice in a row, respawn. This game is not Alpha, its not even playable. Day 2 of my journey i logged in, all my money was gone. (only had 10-15k) but that should not happen. I love the concept of this game, but the devs focus on expanding the verse and adding more ships, they should ONLY focus on optimizing and bug fixes. // A pissed of Sweede.
@@Farrister Aaron Halo for Quantanium. Then Aberdeen and Ita for Bexalite, Taranite, Laranite. Cant find nothing. I made 4 or 5 trips with my rented prospector and i brought back half a cargo with Taranite in total. Think i got around 20k and rent cost was 52k. So im done with mining. I might save to a fighter so i can focus on bounty instead.
