mobile mining not working yet !

Post by heg0b0 » Sun, 30. Oct 05, 19:22

I cant get the mobile mining to work :(

have drilling laser , ore collector and mineral scanner equiped.
When shooting the astroid it splits , pieces cant be picked up.

Will result in hull damage without any cargo (with enough space)

Shooting the pieces will destroy them.

HELP me please :)

Edit :

And i quote CBJ on this (page 3 of this threat)

Mobile mining is a feature currently not implented yet !
Might be released in a future patch , unfortunately there cant be given a estimate in when.

Make sure you open cargo bay doors. If you have done that then make sure you have enough room in your cargo bay.

Im assuming only ts's can take that equipment still.
if today was perfect there would be no need for tomorrow

I heard from the Information Station that you need 2 ships. One with a mining laser and one with a really big cargo. So I assume the cargo of the normal TS is not enough.

I tried it with only 4.5k cargo space. But maybe 7k is still not enough. There must be a reason, why the lady said you need TWO ships.

I tried too with a split super freigther and 11K space free. Only thing i was able to do is too damage my ship.

Trouble is when you bow apart an asteroid it spit up in smaller piece but hugfe one which are not targetable. so you cannot select them en click for auto recup. You can only fly rigth on them then BANG you collide on them damage your ship and make them disappear with harvesting anything.

So i can't see what i am doing wrong. Or do we need one off those super mega huge transport (the one that can transport station) to take over mineral ?????

REALLY NEED INFO ON THAT THANKS. This is quite ruining my play at the time.

open your cargo bay doors before you hit an ore block or else you will take hull damage.

Has anyone tried using the Special Command Software option of "Collect All Wares in Sector..."? If manually collecting the fragments doesn't work (though it should) maybe this method will.

Scoob.

Ive tried it in a teladi vulture, but when you shoot the asteroid it breaks into little peices, but these cant be collected

You must watch your speed when picking up the bits of asteroid (ive not tried it myself) but when picking up cargo you have to slow right down or you will destroy the cargo by flying into it.

When you check your sector map are any Ore or Silicon cargos listed? I have yet to try this, but I would imagine you have to keep breaking up chunks of steroid until you get some that are collectable.

It may be they have reduced the amount of ore you can get from an asteroid as a balancing exercise???

Actually, in both X2 and X3 I've gone full pelt into a floating cargo container with my freight doors open and picked them up without a problem. Although, the new drift system in X3 can make lining up a pain unless you slow down first :P

After the astroid breaks up - no list on the sector map about the pieces.

Shooting the pieces to break them up smaller , doesnt work .. it destroys them

I'm having the same problem, vultures used to be able to collect the ore directly as well as fire at the asteroids.

also it seems a lot harder to target the asteroids in this one, the whole process seems alot tougher
