3.8.0 Miner’s Guide

I recently received a tip for mining so I thought I’d put it into a brief guide.

Mining in the Hidden Asteroid field

There is an unmarked asteroid field between the orbits of Crusader and Delamar.

To find it, Plot a course from HUR-L3 and to ARC-L3. Cut the jump at 9.8 million kilometers, by holding B to disengage quantum.

Borase seems to be the highest value mineral available in the field, find rocks that contain it and break them down, selecting the highest percentages.

Multi-crew Mole Mining

With a crew of 3 to 5 players and 2 or more moles you can rotate out the moles to always keep one on location. Head to the location with two moles. Use both ships to increase your scanning range. After finding a high value rock, have your crew jump on one of the moles to mine it. When the mole is full, send one crew member back to sell at the refiner. The rest of the crew hops on the second mole and keeps mining. By the time the runner gets back it may already be full, in that case, swap drivers again, sending the ship owner back to sell the goods.

Other tips:
Always break down rocks to the smallest, most condensed rocks and collect rocks that contain 90% product.
Upgrade your lasers for maximum efficiency. 
Always invite friends to mine you, but solo is fun too!

aUEC rates per Unit | 1%SCU @ Port Olisar :

  • Bexalite = 40.48
  • Borase = 32.45
  • Taranite = 32.44
  • Laranite = 30.26
  • Agricium = 26.93
  • Hephaestanite = 14.68
  • Titanium = 8.68
  • Diamond = 7.17
  • Gold = 6.29
  • Copper = 5.69
  • Beryl = 4.32
  • Tungsten = 3.99
  • Corundum = 2.65
  • Quartz = 1.51
  • Aluminum = 1.27
  • Inert Material = 0.02


Our goal for crew operations is the following:
Self-Organizing, those doing the work choose how best to accomplish the work
Cross-functional, teams have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team.
Teams consist of 3 to 7 people. (+/-2).

Timbur's Log 19 Nov 2949

Teaming up with SQ, Selwyn and Rich_Banks, we wanted to test scaling up our cargo operations to see if flying a command ship, plus multiple cargo ships would result in a faster profit per minute. The theory comes from the long transit times running to and from the buy and sell console. If we give this job to only ONE ship owner, could we spawn multiple cargo vessels while still sharing the same minimum time running from ship to console? The ideal run would have the command ship arriving before the cargo vessels to buy and sell at the trade console the second the cargo ship arrives. An added advantage is that multiple cargo ships could also be added to the route to multiply the profit of the run. Factor in the high supply and demand for some commodities, we can push them to their limits with this method. An example how having a lead ship could double profits and shorten loop time The standard method of hauling cargo is by having two players on one caterpillar. The Owner and the ...

A few thoughts on Star Citizen's Reputation System

My Thoughts on the Reputation System I took the time yesterday to outline and summarize questions and answers from the AMA on the reputation system and I though I would share my results. Overall I believe the reputation system is on the right track and I'm looking forward to having AI in the game recognize you and respond to you based on the reputation you have with each faction, and the outcome of those interactions affecting your overarching reputation.  Feel free to view the full AMA here.   AMA Reputation System Intro Hello everyone and welcome to our AMA about the Reputation System. With Star Citizen Alpha 3.13 - Underground Infamy, we introduced the first iteration of the Reputation Manager which is now available on the mobiGlas, giving you the ability to see your standing with the various organizations and mission-givers across Stanton. Today we have various guests from different departments answering your most burning questions on how we want to further iterate th...

A New Day, A New Goal

Image
Turns out Timbur's BHAG wasn't hairy enough so we'll set a new goal. Goal: Buy two more Drake Caterpillars by 3.9.  As it turns out my big hairy audacious goal wasn't hairy enough so we'll have to up it to a Cat a week until 3.9 hits and we'll see just how many cats we can get. Let's figure we have until the end of the month for the patch to hit so that's about a week and half worth of cargo. That sounds like just enough to get another two Drake Caterpillars by 3.9. Let's make it happen! Daily Review: We did about an hour and half worth of cargo runs and that enabled us to get around 200k per caterpillar in profit. If we can keep this pace up everyday, that would mean we could add another 5 million caterpillar to the fleet every 5 days. A Caterpillar a week sounds like a great plan. Starting bright and early we were able to field five caterpillars across the verse. It's great to see our coordination as we travel across the system an...
