Frozen on Yela




Captain's Log 8 October 2950 Looking for a change of pace we decided to pursue the mining, a safe and serene career in the verse. Liandrix had recently rented a Prospector and was trying to earn enough credits to pay off the rental costs. We headed to the frozen moon of Crusader, Yela.

I've spent a lot of time mining on Yela in the past so I thought that it would be a fairly straight forward approach. I loaded up the Argo Mole and headed out to the location. Just before arriving Liandrix had found a large deposit of Quantanium. We quickly estimated it's value and based on it's composition and mass this one rock was valued at over 176,000 credits. The only downside is the prospector couldn't mine it. The Mole on the other had would come in hand, so we transferred Liandrix to the Mole and started mining. We broke down the rocks and found several other Quantamiun rocks in the area. Before we could even pick up the rocks there was a 30k crash.

From there we headed out from Port Olisar and began scanning again for other mining deposits. We found multiple hadanite deposits so decided that it would be worth our time to head back to the space station and grab ship to mine with the ROC. Not wanting to lose our location we decided the best option would be to leave a crewmember on the surface of the moon as a waypoint.

Liandrix left the ship as I speed away on the mole to return to Port Olisar, returning with another ship. Upon arriving Liandrix discovered that he only had a few minute left of survival. The cold atmosphere of the moon caused his helmet to freeze up, he could hardly see anything, and his body began to shake incontrollable in the hostile environment.

Using the ships scanner I began to scan for liandrix but the party system markers were bugged. The beacon was missing and without it it would be impossible to find any person on the ground. Despite the search parties efforts there was no sign of the lost crewmate. His body remains there, on the frozen surface of Yela.

"And they said mining was safe."

Profits from Mole mining: 55,000 aUEC
Profits from ROC mining: 65,000 aUEC

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

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...
