Mining System Feedback

[kuth]

I just noticed that Iridium is not on anything in the official guide. Yet it is a fairly major Mineral to mine.... Who has the bonuses, where to sell it and such should probably be included in the guide, yes?

Zoners produce Iridium. I doubt Zoners will get a mining bonus, due to the whole power trading ordeal. I would say the reasoning would be because "You can't have everything"

@ Dusty & crew

Great job. I'm loving mining. Haven't ran into a hitch yet.

Ok... sorry guys but there is something I don't understand

I have

1) Miner ID
2) Hegemon mining ship
3) 4 mining laser in pos 1-4

4) no IFF.

I spent 20 minutes mining in Dublin... drops = zero! What is wrong?

First off, you want a Freelancer IFF.

Second, try mining in another location.

I would like to submit a whine about Tau-37's drops being utter fail.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

All Minerals Have either a drop rate nerf, or a Payout nerf. BAIL OUT

What you mean? Have they been nerfed by the last update?

Whine submitted.

This thing has been carefully calibrated so that it's not trying to juggle 500000 balls like Xoria has to do. 1 mine point, 1-3 sell points, roughly the same profit for each. Adding more complexity to that (making another field in T37) is beyond the point of diminishing returns.

edit; holy crap double ninja'd!

Yes it has been nerfed. THis grand cooperative thing was shot down by basic Human Greed. When a Miner ID could pirate, it was faster to rip someones ore off and run away then mine it yourself. People would prefer to keep money for themselves rather than pay an escort for defensiveness. Hence, mineing has been nerfed into obsurity once more. For the record, I pefered how pitts used to be.

Also, I hereby submit a Q_Q

Nothing else has been nerfed except for the following:
- The Pennsylvania platinum field was nerfed about a week ago due to lots of F U related sanction reports and continue miner deaths in the field
- The Miner ID was nerfed to remove 'can demand ore'.
- Buy/Sell prices were nerfed at several locations close to fields although the distant sell location prices have not changed.

Niobium has not been nerfed. Gold has not been nerfed. The reason for the low drop rates is that there is a bug in the bonus system. Sometimes the drops are good, sometimes they are bad. I will fix it as soon as I figure out why it is broken. To reiterate:

Not nerfed, bug!

I'm getting about 1/3 less Cobalt ore in the Omega 7 system then I was last time I tried it (3 nights ago).

Mining ID, no IFF, Mining LF, used /restart Miner.

I used to get 1500 before the little white boxes disappeared, now I get about 1100. Don't know if that helps or not. North Cobalt field.

Mining is fixed

Yay!

(I hope -- post here if you think it isn't)
