Introduction

Hallo and welcome to this guide about professional mining in Freelancer Discovery. This guide will explaine you how you mine, about what you have to take care about and how to mine best. Many systems in Sirius are holding ores. Ores are special version of matels or gas that cannot be bought on stations (except some player owned bases) and need to be mined by players. Ore is the most expensive commodities in Sirius (sellprices around 10.000 SC per unit) so many traders search for ore miners. These miner have ships with small cargo space normally, so they cannot trade effectivly. Because of that mining players offers ore mining for trader for a price between 2000 & 3000 SC normally.


Miners should keep the following in mind, when creating a new miner char;

  • You will need a specialized mining ship to harvest ores. More on this in a moment.
  • Mining requires mining turrets in addition to a mining ship.
  • Finally, you require a mining company ID (for example, BMM) with a matching IFF, or alternatively, an independent “Miner ID’, available for sale on most stations.
  • Ore is automatically transferred into your cargo bay. You don’t have to tractor in ore as per vanilla / other previous mods.
  • Only mining turrets are effective for mining. Other weapons are practically useless for mining operations.

The Ship

Most ship in Freelancer are (para-)military ships. These ships are logical very bad for mining operations; you should not mine with a Rheinland Battleship for example. Also; not all miner ships are usefull yor each ore. The following should help you:

Mining ship Ore Position for Mining Turrets Fraction Notes

Ragnar all except Helium-3 4-7 ALG, Daumann, Hessians, Kruger & Unioners
Behemoth Helium-3, Premium Scrap & Military Salvage 5-8 ALG, Kruger & Unioners

IFF & ID

The ID % ID are very important for your miner. Each ID gives a multiplicator for each ore holding rock (if IFF, Ore & ship is matching). For example: BMM gains a bonus of 4 for Gold Ore, while Mollies gains a bonus of 2. So BMMis better, but when you was mined by a Molly they will not attack you and you will not be hunted while mining. The IDs of offical factions (f. e. OSI, IRG) get a higher bonus than the normal one. The number of the bonuses in the following table is sorted by the ore position. First ore, first bonus; second ore, second bonus....

Faction's name Player Faction? Ore Bonus Notes

Sellpoints

Ore can even make more credits than dealing with drugs or other illegal trading goods. The highest sellpoint of Ore is around $10k normally from one house to another. Each house also offers an unlawfull sellpoint. That is lower than the lawfull (except the unlawfull is the government f. e. (Crete)) but pirating player that shot a player trading with ore will get around 50% when selling the ore. Under the following list there will be some ore trade routs you may use. Never forgett that miners do not work for free; they take around 2k for each unit.

Note: This list will just show the three best sell-places + some unlawfull. The side ore is (or is going to) showing the best sell price in a house. You can also look at the page of the single ore or ask miners; they normally know the price of their goods very well.
