how to use?

Equip it in the ship, point at the asteroid at about 500mtr distance and open fire.

Can be used on Caimans, Vultures, Demeters, and several TS's.
Demeter can mount in front.

so I can`t use it with my M6

.
I would use a transport but i have a feeling the second i destroy that place somethings are going to try to kill me.
my crystal fabs at the moment are useing more silicon than is comeing into that area. There are somegood places to put mines in ore belt but every time i do it gets destroyed( with 6 armed Nova`s protecting it

Whats it take to keep one safe?

M6s.

One Osprey can protect a sector and keep both the sector and itself safe. Any other M6 defending a sector by itself can become overwhelmed by Khaak, particular if you are in sector, or if its a Dragon (Split M6).

If you go for two M6s, I'd suggest a Hydra with a protecting Dragon. Very fast pair. The Hydra is well shielded, and will get the nasties attention. The Dragon will then blast apart anything that decides to shoot back at the Hydra. High intercept speed, which helps keep your transports safe.

Ore Belt can be a bit more busy then other sectors with Khaak, if you've taken on the second Ore Belt mission, but haven't finished it.

For mobile mining, get a Demeter. Being able to put the drill up front really simplifies getting the asteriod into range for blasting with the drill.

Good luck, tycoon!

i see no point in buying a new ship just to blast ONE for a mission. I`ll just use a spare trasport

Ah! You mean for the Ore Belt mission, and not for actual mobile mining purposes.

Use Hornets. Your M6 can carry them. Easy to find for free. Just blast a few Pirate Ships (PS) until you've got a couple.

Yep - hornat will do it with your M6 will do the job. Use the insert and delete keys to target the bits you need 3 in total.

pirate ships don`t like me... I`m sure I have got hornet missiles from them and used them but now they won`t drop any
