Drill mining and shields question

Post by ggalway » Fri, 12. Mar 04, 23:28

Is there any way to stop your shields going back up when the ship scoops up some ore/silicon?

Thanks

No, but if you install Special Command Software Mk1 and give the right command, your ship will go round collecting all the ore/silicon without you having to fiddle about with the shields. :)

Give your ship the command 'Collect Wares in Sector...' and it will do it for you automatically....

but when it's on auto pilot (via the collect wares command) it will collect one piece of ware then move away until the voice has finished saying "your cargo bay now contains.... etc" and then move back in again.

When mobile mining I've found the best method is to watch the system menu (the one that lists all ships, stations etc) on SETA until all the wares are picked up. then stop.

don't know if that's answered your questions as I've forgotten what the questions was (just got back from the pub :P)
Until the next war, it's time to party!
