I have read the mining guide.
Wondering what is the best or a good mining spot and route these days, it has been a long time since I played and back then we didn't really have specific mining spots, was just go into the field and go nuts.
Right now I am doing helium-3 but that is not very lucrative.
You can reach me in game "Hoshizora"
Trying to mine enough to buy a proper transport which would then lead us to the next question, what is a good trade route.
Thanks.
I appreciate the pointers, starting again after losing all my ships (had a few battleships) due to inactivity deletion is daunting but if I had the above info I can at least "quick start" and hopefully buy a couple decent ships.
Currently GMG, in the Kusari Mining Ship. However am willing to go into any.
The guide is great actually, I take the "outdated" part back. I was mistaken, it is the wiki that is outdated regarding sell prices and mining locations.
Yes I got 6 turrets on it, it is filling up decently fast but sell prices are a bit low. Either sell it at 3k at a nearby base in system, or haul it all the way across 7 systems for 9k per. Was just wondering if anyone knows anything better so I can buy back my main ship faster
Fill up the POB with your Miner. earning 3k per unit.
Usually it is a very quick way to make credits.
Then take your Trader, but the Ore from the POB and sell it for 9k per unit. Effectively the Ore costs you nothing, therefore the 9k per unit is pure profit.
Looks like you are selling it on Pittsburg. Find a commodity to take back (more profit).
It doesn't take long to make few hundred million credits.
Edit: You can fill the POB a lot quicker with 3 loads of Ore (effectively 9k worth of Ore) than it takes you to travel the 7 systems and back.
'I would like to be half as clever as some people like to believe they are' Life is full of disappointments, it is how we handle them that helps to define us, as a person

Yes, but it has a capacity limit. So you're actually off better filling it, then selling the ore to the actual sellpoint. Also POBs have limited cash too.
