It's weird. I've been playing Elite Dangerous since 2019, I have almost 900 hours of gameplay, and I still watch these tutorial videos even if I already know how to mine lol. This is a solid tutorial BTW. I'll share this with my friend who just started playing.
Fantastic tutorial. So grateful to you for doing these. Really well put together. Informative, entertaining and so very valuable for the community health, long-term. O7
Thanks so much! Always great to hear from you! The Elite community is such a welcoming place, and I love being a part of it. Your channel is a big inspiration for why I got started!
Thanks for continuing the tradition of Elite tutorials. So many of the original tutorial creators have moved on to other projects. It’s great to see new guides that incorporate the latest gameplay mechanics and ships.
THANK GOD. The level of "Yes" behind making mining something other than totally AFK-waste-of-time, and yet there's NO tutorial for this stuff IN game?? Thank you for this. I'll take tutorials on everything else you'd like to make. These are fantastic.
I just started playing this game after getting sick of star citizen bugs and its amazing seeing new guides and content still being made - liked, subbed and bookmarked for later
I really tried to get into Star Citizen, and I think it could really be something good if they could focus on just fixing what they have. In the meantime, I'm still loving Elite. Thanks for watching and subbing!
Another tip with the pirates, if your ship cargo is empty, after the scan they stick around for usually about 5 minutes then they will jump out, if you mine while they are still around they will come back to see what youve got.
Damn good tutorial brother. Thank you. I just did my first run of mining while watching this video and came out with a little over 10 million in a type 6. Keep up the amazing work and thank you again.
thanks for the guide, i am a new cmd and made my first 10+mil with Bounty hunting but i wanted to try something new. Mining is so chill and rewarding, much love
Don't forget your limpets! Yeah, heh, I've *cough* never *cough* done that. There's even a holographic sign outside of the mail slot of stations reminding you of that. LOL
Oh man, i was doing this for so long and missed the detail about detailed surface scanner! What you probably missed is mention of mining missions that can sometimes be of great profit multiplier. Also, awesome quality video, thanks 07
My favorite mining ship is a Vette (MAJOR MINER), I run five class 2 and two class 1 pre-engineered mining lasers, letting me burn down asteroids on one shot without overheating in about 17 seconds. I run 17 collectors and two 3A prospectors (one is on 1, the other is on 2 in the same fire group, this way I can launch 4 in about the same amount of time as 2). I also use a 6c Bi-weave shield so when I arrive at an asteroid I can bump into it insuring that I am close as possible, this makes a huge difference in the speed of collection, I only have to wait a couple seconds for the collectors to finish up after the asteroid is depleted. Also I'm curious, why not Weapon Focused PD? If I switch to Charge Enhanced on my Vette I will loose 7 seconds laser Duration (12 seconds VS 19 seconds), pretty much the same on my Python laser miner (9.6 VS 16)- Maybe its because I run a bunch of lasers lol This is by far one of the best tutorials I've seen, Nice job!. o7
@@Mile13Gaming Yeah it has great internals for mining, and a class 8 PD like the Conda, It doesn't have as good of a limpet corridor as the Cutter though (how far below the ship the collectors have to travel before they make their upwards trajectory to the cargo hatch), this used to slow me down until I figured out you have to put the nose right against the asteroid, preferably at the axis of rotation so your ship doesn't get beat up as bad lol. Also another trick I just recently figured out is how to make the fragments spawn from whatever laser you want, all you have to do is put your prospector(s) on a separate fire group, then you put all but one of your lasers on '1' and put the laser you want the frags to spawn off of on '2', then just activate the lasers on '1' slightly before you activate the laser on '2', the frags will spawn off of the '2' laser, you want this to be the laser on the bottom of ship so limpets have less distance to travel to the limpet corridor. 😅 o7
The Cutter and Python can both be outfitted to do all 4 types of mining at the same time w/out having to swap modules/hardpoints. The Python layout does not have a fuel scoop, but both have shields. With no fuel scoop on the Cutter, you have 512 tons of cargo space. When I want to go mining, I simply jump my FC to the system where I'm going to mine, then hop in my Cutter and go mining.
@@Mile13Gaming I got sick and tired of having to decide on a specific type of mining, outfit my ship to do it, then go out into the ring only to discover that the specific type of mining I wanted to do wasn't very time efficient. So I used EDSY to figure out which ships could do all 4 types of mining w/out having to swap out modules or hardpoints. With some limits, I found that only the Python and the Cutter could do it. The Cutter is a much better ship to do it inside the bubble and out in the black especially if you have a FC to dock at and unload nearby. The Python is really nice out in Colonia where the stations are really close due to the higher system density in that region compared to the bubble. Also, the Python is nice because 1) You can buy it out in Colonia w/out having to buy it at a FC and 2) a lot of the stations that give out the best rates for mined materials do not have large landing pads out in Colonia. Being able to do all 4 types of mining (Laser, surface, sub-surface, and deep core) at any time means when you have a hankering to 'go mining' you just hop in your Cutter/Python and 'go mining'. You don't have to decide what type of mining you're going to do and then outfit your ship accordingly. Sure using a all-4-types-of-mining ship means you can't max out your cargo holds, but it still takes me 3.5-4.5 hours to fill up the 512 tons of cargo space on my cutter doing all 4 types of mining and that's still a full day's worth of play for me. Once you've had a chance to try all 4 types of mining please post an update video of your thoughts on it. Oh, and if you're curious to know what my Cutter loadout for all-4-types-of-mining, I can send you the EDSY link to the outfitting.
Le grand final lol :D :D :D Another useful tip: If you find one of the poles of the asteroid (the point where the rotation axis goes trough the asteroid itself), you can place your ship much closer to the asterod, without worring your ship can be hit.
@@Mile13Gaming Hey in the vid tell them about how to control what laser the fragments spawn off of, not too many commanders know about this and its super handy! 😉
Awesome guide - thanks! Would like to add to not add anything labeled as "material" to your ignore list. These are engineering materials for use later in your Elite career, and don't take any cargo space, so there is not downside (apart from tying up collector limpet time/lifespan) to gathering them. I learned this the hard way, want others to avoid that if they can!
Good Tutorial. I started with a Python then I moved to a T9, before I did the grind for a Cutter. I still Laser mine out in the Black, Tritium just to keep my Fleet Carrier Stock topped off and to have a break from exploring and use my dedicated Cutter. Obviously with Exo Biology, mining Platinum for credits now isn't my thing, but in the early game it got me enough credits for a T9 and capital to buy goods to trade
You know, I never used any of the T-series for mining, but I know they're popular for it and built to be haulers. Maybe I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. And same here - exo is king of cash right now (actually one of the first tutorials I posted), but I think mining is still more beginner-accessible, and sometimes just the meditative process of mining is exactly what I need. :)
@@Mile13Gaming Totally agree on the access of mining early game (although I did basic Exo with a hauler in my early game which earnt me enough for a Python) I never knew about teh A grade prospector multiplier until I watch this (even though All my ships are A grade by now) - there's always good tips to be had
I've just uploaded my 3 Thigs I like About Adder short, then saw this! Didn't include mining however, I have included you in my Weekend Roundup video. Should be out either late Saturday or Sunday. Love how clear your videos are.
Congrats cmdr, great vid, very informative. However, don't mine with a Cutter. _But look at it, it's a work of art ! ! !_ Exactly, it's like hauling bulk cargo with a luxury cruiser. It _can_ be done, but nobody in his right mind would.
Core mining was mine, the diamond dupe wasnt discovered yet, Void Opal prices were at an all time high and I took my Krait mk 2 out with 200 Limpets and came back with 256 Void Opal and LTDs. made my first billion on that run, used it to make a mining cutter with double the capacity and went back out till I had enough to buy my carrier. I still core mine on occasion even though theres better ways to make credits. Also pop on a mining multilimpet if you can (size 3 minimum)
Yeah, I wasn't doing core mining back in the LTD boom, unfortunately. And yeah, on my cutter, I have a steady stream of limpets grabbing chunks as fast as I can blast them off.
Another great video! And i saw you on the Buur Pit! Next time you get hyperdicted by thatgoids, try silent running while boosting away. Then you might have a (small) chance
IMHO it's absurd that collector limpets can't just return before their batteries run out and be re-used. I so want to love this game, but they put in so much manufactured grind.
I mean, no game is perfect, but IMHO, there's still so much to love about Elite. And as for the annoying things, well, I just make funny videos about them. :)
For laser mining, I feel an argument can be made for the Imperial Cutter being the perfect tool. 512t, all the power you can ask for, enough weapons to turn any npc pirates into a bonus payout and stupid amounts of shielding even on a class 6 module. Add in enough fuel and range to get almost anywhere and she has no equal. I’m man enough to admit she’s a bit large for comfortable core mining (still works though), the Corvette is the king of PVE and the Anaconda has no equal for jump range. I have 5-10 times more hours in the Cutter than any other ship and I don’t see that changing lol.
Indeed, once you sit in the Cutter, everything else seems like a toy. :) Like you said, I prefer the Krait for core mining because it's more maneuverable, but the cutter for laser mining is so quick and nice.
Very nice, I just came back to the game after 3-4 years off. Mining was my go-to moneymaker, and fully agree, once you get the Python kitted for mining, you know you have arrived. I never felt the need to upgrade to the Cutter, but with the money taps now flowing at full, might be in the cards. O7 and thanks much! Going to do a follow on for core mining?
Hold up, a fantastic early miner choice is the keelback, particularly of you have vr. The keelback can even have a fighter which is fun! Imo keelback is the best for early mining.
Have they changed ore selling again? Used to be the demand had to be 4 times the amount in your local storage or you get a reduced selling price. Local storage includes your hold, wingman holds, and owned FC holds. Great tutorial!
If the popup note on Inara is accurate, then that sounds about right. If the price is shown in red, there's a popup saying pretty much what you just indicated.
I love deep core mining, but getting something near to 46 million in 5 hours is a bit small number when i can kill enemy troops on high intensity battles (in odyssey) for 15 million per one battle. I will check this way of mining out, maybe this time selling by quantity is better than rarity. Anyway it will be also a welcome change to not make mining too repetetive. Update 1: mining platinum for 2 hours was nice, I will proceed to mine more with lasers. Update 2: I have mined some more and I think mixing laser mining with core mining is a good idea. Pulse wave analizer will show where are meteoroids with higher concentration of ore, so you loose less time and if you bump into one with platinum core, THIS is where the fun begins!
Love it! Nice! Yeah, mixed mining trips are nice to break up the monotony a bit. Though, sometimes I go just for the meditative, repetitive nature of it. Tell me more about getting 15M in one battle. Is that for mission rewards, or high-intensity conflict zones, or...?
@@Mile13Gaming Yes i meant High intensity conflict zones, paid in combat bonds. I wanted to write amount of money per time frame (like hour), but the more time you spent killing, the more money you get. So the idea is to kill as much enemies as possible, but allow them to capture control points. It's important to let them have as much of those "battle points" as possible, because each time a vulture with new batch of enemies shows up, it costs 5 points. Fighting enemies on that difficulty is not easy, unless you waste some time to upgrade some gear.
I learned the hard way about avoiding Thargoid controlled areas during a run. Not going to lie I actually rage quit for a few hours after that happened.😅
To tell the truth, I never got into sub-surface mining, but I always wanted to try it. Hmmm, let me see what I can get together. Thanks for the suggestion!
When I thought I knew everything about mining - you threw a couple of things I wouldn't think about. specially about certain number of lasers to Limpets. I guess I need to rebuild a Better Mining Ship. Too bad you got your butt kick bye those thargoids. Hopefully I keep clear of that area. Thou they seem to be everywhere now.
Glad you got something out of it! I still watch tutorials myself all the time, because it always seems like someone knows something I don't. And yup, when I went back and checked my route on the galaxy map, it went smack through a Thargoid area. Lesson learned.
Out of curiosity...how much money you make with the cutter on a full load of Platinum? I have not mined since the days of triple LTD/Painite hotspots but I still have my fully decked out cutter sitting there with the mining fit on her.
Rarely do I fill my entire hold, but on the couple of times I did, I don't remember the exact number but it was in the 120M range with Platinum prices around 240K/ton. Usually, I'll mine for an hour or so and get around 60M, while watching Netflix or listening to an audio book. I figure it's kind of like what it would really be like out there, right? Doing my thing, listening to a podcast or an audio book. Not a bad life. :)
wow they really nerfed laser mining back into oblivion lol According to Inara my highest single transaction is 808,689,664Cr. That has to be from mining ( either triple LTD or Painite ) because I haven't done much AX except killing a few interceptors with a friend but never enough to earn real money from it. Thats a hull cargo of minerals ( not counting the bins in the refinery ) sold in one. I was just curious of the severity of the nerf but never really mined Platinum so cant really compare but I guess it must be one of the top end mineral you are mining it. That being said I always enjoyed being out in the belt looking for minerals, its really relaxing with a friend or even alone. Putting on something to watch or listening to podcast or an audiobook is the best way to do it, not a bad life at all :)
Decided to do some laser mining as never done that before as I went straight to core mining - Spend over an hour in a platinum hotspot prospecting every rock Nada nothing not one single rock had platinum in - what the hell am i missing platinum Hotspot pristine -
Are you sure you were in the hotspot? Even so, sometimes you have to scan a few rocks before you hit a good one. But a hotspot, it shouldn't take more than 6 or 7 at the most to find a decent percentage of platinum. ??
Is there a way to add those minerals/metals to the ignore list before I come in contact with them in space? I understand you only need to do it once but looks like a chore.
o7 Mile 13 Gaming, I've got a strange question that a 750+ hr. player as myself shouldn't have lol...but anyway...I can't figure it out and on your screen it worked as expected. When I go and sell anything whether it be Cartographic Data or Platinum etc. I only get about 64% of the value that it says I will be getting. (You got 98% in this video) So for example I just sold a load of platinum and the screen showed total income of 26,237,275 credits but when I clicked sell I only received 16,791,856 credits. Is there something I am missing like going to a wrong station or bad setting in game or what??
Thanks for reminding me! Do you have any NPC crew members, like fighter pilots? Apparently, crew members take a cut if they’re active, even if you’re not using them, even if they’re not in the same ship. So remember to deactivate them if you’re not using them. I probably still have a harmless fighter pilot active, which explains the tiny 2% cut. (And obviously, they're not active on my Adder!) That's my best guess, anyway.
@@Mile13Gaming that is correct I had 3 crew sitting in the crew lounge, getting 12% EACH!!! Not sure what I was doing last time I played, but needless to say they’re FIRED now haha. Great video and thanks for the reply!
Yep! Use Inara to search. You can use this as a starting point, change your reference system, and it'll show you everywhere that sells a 1A Prospector around you. inara.cz/elite/nearest-outfitting/?formbrief=1&pa3%5B%5D=82981&ps1=Sol&pi18=0&pi19=0&pi17=0
In my experience, yes. It's also less hassle. Especially if you find a good map (which I didn't cover in here), it's the fastest way to make money in the game, outside of first-footfall exobiology (which I also have a tutorial on).
Only takes a few asteroids with the right prospector. Looking at my source recording, I went from empty cargo hold to full cargo + refinery bins in 20 minutes. And that was with stopping to get external shots, etc. So in reality, less than 20 minutes. And that was with the Adder. With the bigger ships, it's way faster than that.
At this point, it's become standard for most MMORPG like games. ED to some degree, falls in that category. I'm not a fan of it either. Much prefer if they were built in tools. Inara has made the game much easier in my respects, saving time. But I hate to think what happens if players dwindled and stopped using the plugin that sends them data to keep it updated.
The way I look at it is that it's not unrealistic though. If I'm working on coding, or working on my car, or driving somewhere out of state, I'm going to use some external tools to help me do that, and there's nothing wrong with that. Whether is a tutorial, or technical specs, or someone else's documented experience, or a map, it's just using the available resources to make the activity more efficient.
There's still lots of new players out there. Actually, I've been playing since 2020, and the core mining video I just released was literally the first time I've gone core mining.
It's weird. I've been playing Elite Dangerous since 2019, I have almost 900 hours of gameplay, and I still watch these tutorial videos even if I already know how to mine lol. This is a solid tutorial BTW. I'll share this with my friend who just started playing.

Good clarification, thanks!
I have over 2000 pluse hours and I always enjoy listening to music and mining. Always makes me calm and a little credits too.
It's very meditative. Sometimes after a particularly long day, there's nothing better than mining for 30 minutes or more. Thanks for watching!

For laser mining, I feel an argument can be made for the Imperial Cutter being the perfect tool. 512t, all the power you can ask for, enough weapons to turn any npc pirates into a bonus payout and stupid amounts of shielding even on a class 6 module. Add in enough fuel and range to get almost anywhere and she has no equal.
I’m man enough to admit she’s a bit large for comfortable core mining (still works though), the Corvette is the king of PVE and the Anaconda has no equal for jump range.
I have 5-10 times more hours in the Cutter than any other ship and I don’t see that changing lol.
Indeed, once you sit in the Cutter, everything else seems like a toy. :) Like you said, I prefer the Krait for core mining because it's more maneuverable, but the cutter for laser mining is so quick and nice.
great tutorial man. you actualy knew what you where doing when you crafted this video.
You should try these system's in the Galaxy map search bar and fly to them. 07 🫡

Thanks! I've spent a LOT of time mining, so just wanted to pass on what I learned.
Great tutorial!
Mining in E:D is so fun and relaxing, one of the best things to do.
I didn't knew about this channel! Subscribing :D
Thank you so much!
Great video! Very informative.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice, I just came back to the game after 3-4 years off. Mining was my go-to moneymaker, and fully agree, once you get the Python kitted for mining, you know you have arrived. I never felt the need to upgrade to the Cutter, but with the money taps now flowing at full, might be in the cards. O7 and thanks much! Going to do a follow on for core mining?
You're very welcome!
As for core mining... Stay tuned :)
Liked and subscribed.
Thank you so much!
Hold up, a fantastic early miner choice is the keelback, particularly of you have vr. The keelback can even have a fighter which is fun! Imo keelback is the best for early mining.
You know, the keelback gets a lot of hate, but as an early ship, it's really got a decent niche.
well done CMDR
Thank you!
Have they changed ore selling again? Used to be the demand had to be 4 times the amount in your local storage or you get a reduced selling price. Local storage includes your hold, wingman holds, and owned FC holds.
Great tutorial!
If the popup note on Inara is accurate, then that sounds about right. If the price is shown in red, there's a popup saying pretty much what you just indicated.
I got a type 9 Heavy with 2 fighters ready for launch 😎 pirates don't want no smoke.
Two fighters? Nice!
I love deep core mining, but getting something near to 46 million in 5 hours is a bit small number when i can kill enemy troops on high intensity battles (in odyssey) for 15 million per one battle.
I will check this way of mining out, maybe this time selling by quantity is better than rarity.
Anyway it will be also a welcome change to not make mining too repetetive.
Update 1: mining platinum for 2 hours was nice, I will proceed to mine more with lasers.
Update 2: I have mined some more and I think mixing laser mining with core mining is a good idea. Pulse wave analizer will show where are meteoroids with higher concentration of ore, so you loose less time and if you bump into one with platinum core, THIS is where the fun begins!
Love it! Nice! Yeah, mixed mining trips are nice to break up the monotony a bit. Though, sometimes I go just for the meditative, repetitive nature of it.
Tell me more about getting 15M in one battle. Is that for mission rewards, or high-intensity conflict zones, or...?
@@Mile13Gaming Yes i meant High intensity conflict zones, paid in combat bonds. I wanted to write amount of money per time frame (like hour), but the more time you spent killing, the more money you get.
So the idea is to kill as much enemies as possible, but allow them to capture control points. It's important to let them have as much of those "battle points" as possible, because each time a vulture with new batch of enemies shows up, it costs 5 points.
Fighting enemies on that difficulty is not easy, unless you waste some time to upgrade some gear.
Awesome awesome work, thank you.
Thank YOU for watching!
Well done!
Thanks so much! Good to hear from you again!
Type 9 makes a great miner too
You know I have NEVER owned any of the Type-N's? Maybe I should jump in and try the Type-8.
7:16 is there a cut or is this something this ship can do? like instant jump from one place to another? or do i have to use a special key?
Thanks you rock
Where did that list of bonus amounts for prospector level come from? Never seen it on any websites? How was this tested or part of dev notes?
I love core asteroid mining
I just did a video on Core Mining! Give it a look! ua-cam.com/video/qwLue1-_ky4/v-deo.html
I learned the hard way about avoiding Thargoid controlled areas during a run. Not going to lie I actually rage quit for a few hours after that happened.😅
Yup, kind of a rite of passage.
@@Mile13Gaming Same with forgetting your limpits as well. Done that more times than I'm willing to admit.😅
Can you do a Sub surface Mining episode Please ?
To tell the truth, I never got into sub-surface mining, but I always wanted to try it. Hmmm, let me see what I can get together. Thanks for the suggestion!
When I thought I knew everything about mining - you threw a couple of things I wouldn't think about. specially about certain number of lasers to Limpets. I guess I need to rebuild a Better Mining Ship. Too bad you got your butt kick bye those thargoids. Hopefully I keep clear of that area. Thou they seem to be everywhere now.
Glad you got something out of it! I still watch tutorials myself all the time, because it always seems like someone knows something I don't.
And yup, when I went back and checked my route on the galaxy map, it went smack through a Thargoid area. Lesson learned.
I made all my money through bounty hunting lol This week I'll be mining for the first time and I'm gonna make my cutter pay for itself.

Platinum mining is definitely faster than bounty hunting (though not as exciting maybe). But the payout is worth it!
If you leave one ton of platinum in your hold, you can do both at the same time lol.
Out of curiosity...how much money you make with the cutter on a full load of Platinum? I have not mined since the days of triple LTD/Painite hotspots but I still have my fully decked out cutter sitting there with the mining fit on her.
Rarely do I fill my entire hold, but on the couple of times I did, I don't remember the exact number but it was in the 120M range with Platinum prices around 240K/ton. Usually, I'll mine for an hour or so and get around 60M, while watching Netflix or listening to an audio book.
I figure it's kind of like what it would really be like out there, right? Doing my thing, listening to a podcast or an audio book. Not a bad life. :)
wow they really nerfed laser mining back into oblivion lol According to Inara my highest single transaction is 808,689,664Cr. That has to be from mining ( either triple LTD or Painite ) because I haven't done much AX except killing a few interceptors with a friend but never enough to earn real money from it. Thats a hull cargo of minerals ( not counting the bins in the refinery ) sold in one. I was just curious of the severity of the nerf but never really mined Platinum so cant really compare but I guess it must be one of the top end mineral you are mining it.
That being said I always enjoyed being out in the belt looking for minerals, its really relaxing with a friend or even alone. Putting on something to watch or listening to podcast or an audiobook is the best way to do it, not a bad life at all :)
Decided to do some laser mining as never done that before as I went straight to core mining - Spend over an hour in a platinum hotspot prospecting every rock Nada nothing not one single rock had platinum in - what the hell am i missing platinum Hotspot pristine -
Are you sure you were in the hotspot? Even so, sometimes you have to scan a few rocks before you hit a good one. But a hotspot, it shouldn't take more than 6 or 7 at the most to find a decent percentage of platinum. ??
It has to be a metallic ring. Otherwise the hotspot will be empty.
@@cmdrandreyuenari4150 Yep that was my issue !
Is there a way to add those minerals/metals to the ignore list before I come in contact with them in space? I understand you only need to do it once but looks like a chore.
I wish there was. Maybe there is, but if so, I don't know it.
@@Mile13Gaming I was on the ED Discord and they confirmed there isn't. Man I wish for QOL updates like that. The little things.
how about using multiple limpets iso having prospestor and collector in seperate slots?
The larger ships typically run multiple collectors.
Oh yeah, multiple limpet controllers is standard on bigger ships. Check out the "Best Mining Ships" chapter for some later builds with bigger ships.
o7 Mile 13 Gaming, I've got a strange question that a 750+ hr. player as myself shouldn't have lol...but anyway...I can't figure it out and on your screen it worked as expected.
When I go and sell anything whether it be Cartographic Data or Platinum etc. I only get about 64% of the value that it says I will be getting. (You got 98% in this video)
So for example I just sold a load of platinum and the screen showed total income of 26,237,275 credits but when I clicked sell I only received 16,791,856 credits.
Is there something I am missing like going to a wrong station or bad setting in game or what??
Thanks for reminding me! Do you have any NPC crew members, like fighter pilots? Apparently, crew members take a cut if they’re active, even if you’re not using them, even if they’re not in the same ship. So remember to deactivate them if you’re not using them. I probably still have a harmless fighter pilot active, which explains the tiny 2% cut. (And obviously, they're not active on my Adder!)
That's my best guess, anyway.
@@Mile13Gaming that is correct I had 3 crew sitting in the crew lounge, getting 12% EACH!!! Not sure what I was doing last time I played, but needless to say they’re FIRED now haha. Great video and thanks for the reply!

Thanks! By the way, you also win for longest comment I've ever received! :)
I can't find a place that sells 1a prospector
Any advice
Yep! Use Inara to search. You can use this as a starting point, change your reference system, and it'll show you everywhere that sells a 1A Prospector around you.
inara.cz/elite/nearest-outfitting/?formbrief=1&pa3%5B%5D=82981&ps1=Sol&pi18=0&pi19=0&pi17=0
Do a oreo video... After the nerf?
Mmmm... Oreos....
Seriously, what's an oreo in this context?
So passenger mission are just chop suey huh?
Did you say 80 LY range!? Or 8?
80, as in without having to stop to refuel, I could go 80LY to sell (and refuel when I get there.)
Is this really faster then passenger missions at Sothis?

In my experience, yes. It's also less hassle. Especially if you find a good map (which I didn't cover in here), it's the fastest way to make money in the game, outside of first-footfall exobiology (which I also have a tutorial on).

What was yhe time it took to get this 5million?
Only takes a few asteroids with the right prospector. Looking at my source recording, I went from empty cargo hold to full cargo + refinery bins in 20 minutes. And that was with stopping to get external shots, etc. So in reality, less than 20 minutes. And that was with the Adder. With the bigger ships, it's way faster than that.
@@Mile13Gaming awesome ty sir
I have always hated having to rely on external tools for Elite. That is such terrible design.
At this point, it's become standard for most MMORPG like games. ED to some degree, falls in that category. I'm not a fan of it either. Much prefer if they were built in tools.
Inara has made the game much easier in my respects, saving time. But I hate to think what happens if players dwindled and stopped using the plugin that sends them data to keep it updated.
Well, when exploring you need to find your own spots anyway.
The way I look at it is that it's not unrealistic though. If I'm working on coding, or working on my car, or driving somewhere out of state, I'm going to use some external tools to help me do that, and there's nothing wrong with that. Whether is a tutorial, or technical specs, or someone else's documented experience, or a map, it's just using the available resources to make the activity more efficient.
I think the external community is a large part of why ED survived. If the tools were in game, the game might be dead lol.
You don't have to rely on external tools at all. But unfortunately most players don't know how to interpret information from the game.
Ah you're a bit late to the tutorial dinner table. My friend. I guess there are some new players that might look for more recent tutorials.
You should try these system's in the Galaxy map search bar and fly to them. 07 🫡

There's still lots of new players out there. Actually, I've been playing since 2020, and the core mining video I just released was literally the first time I've gone core mining.
A great vibe and super detailed instructions, wonderful job 🫡
Thanks so much!
