Cracking Rocks on Wala in my Prospector! - Star Citizen

Star Citizen is probably the greatest game I've ever played. I mine mostly but can be found with other goods in my ship. :)
In this video you see an example of me trying to get the most out of my Prospector in Wala, I hope you enjoy!
I mine almost exclusively in Star Citizen. There is no rock I can't mine! (this is not true).

Hello lovely KZbin viewer! If you’re watching this and are thinking “how did he get 48 SCU in his bags on that prospector?” … or something like that, here is a video of me showing you how I do it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5yTc2Oui66ckK8si=XU7MCKLI608dlLUx If you want to see some detail on the Optimax and how it can make you a lot of cash you could try this video here! (my personal best with the Optimax and a Prospector) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGXMgWaMid-rf7ssi=8CIqfYvgShrtBevQ Nice one!

Mining on Euterpe last night, had about half of a Prospector load of bexalite when I came across a big quantanium rock that needed a gadget to enable me to pop it. I usually use optimax or sabir and in this case, I had the optimax. Had it in my hands to place on the rock and it worked as usual, but it sort of hung on the rock for a second, then came back into my hands. Could not get it to attach to the rock again, so I tried dropping it on the ground. It fell through. Turned around and went back to enter my ship, but it would not let me back in the normal way. I could raise/lower the ladder, but not actually use it. I was able to jump off a ledge nearby and land in the doorway, but then the door to my cockpit wouldn't open. At that point, I tried bed logging, but my body glitched down through the ship when I selected "log out". I was then just completely stranded outside of my ship. Have you ever encountered this issue? I partied up with someone on the server, logged out and back in, then grabbed my C2 and flew back to the Prospector. It let me get in and fly it, full functionality...but my cargo bags were all empty. Still, since it let me back in after logging (and it still showed that I owned the Prospector upon getting back to it's location), I wonder if the optimax caused my character to glitch out somehow or if it was just the ship being dumb. Just curious if there is some workaround you might know of to save my precious ores in the future lol. Love your content, keep up the great work!

Ok… wow thanks for all the information! I love this honestly! I will say from the outset… I think this is server performance being poor at that time, where you were. After playing for years doing this I have seen the things you describe, even recently. From what you describe the gadget started to behave abnormally… at that point I’m thinking… it’s the server. No matter which gadget you were using… this would have happened. If you were throwing your fracture laser at the rock at this moment… it would have almost certainly spiked beyond saving due to the server performance.. going on my own experiences. Sometimes mining is very difficult to achieve as there are so many variables and links in the chain that can go wrong that each result in absolute failure. I think on this occasion, personally and entirely through what I know about the game, this was the very common, bad server performance. (Which will improve with each and every hot fix and patch… ymmv) Keep going with the gadgets and experiment too! I lost several million today due to poor server performance during a simple landing procedure I’ve done a thousand times… I’m good. I took an hour off.. watched some farming simulator. I’ll be mining again tomorrow lol ! o7

Great stuff - I've been recording mining footage much like this for my own channel I'm about to launch. Great to see another relaxed miner out there who isn't worried about min/maxing every aspect of their experience. Love your videos, been watching all morning.

[@HaroldPalmerYT]

Thanks dude! It's so good to hear people love mining in SC! I was feeling a little lonely out there on moons but it turns out us miners are everywhere! o7

[@kaidoken07]

Great video! Love how chill the vibe is!

[@HaroldPalmerYT]

Thanks dude!

[@MrFWStoner]

I like to mine on Cellin, find a lot of good sized Quant rocks there for the Prospector. Use the same Head with modules btw. Always carry a Sabir and Surge with me in case I need a little more "oempf". Sabir is good for less resistance and makes the window 2x bigger. I'm even more lazy I guess. 😅 The upside down is genius! Good video!

[@HaroldPalmerYT]

Nice! I found surges a bit ‘white knuckle’ lol so I decided to pursue passives. Might load out my mole with some and get back in Crusader! o7 fellow miner!

[@BlackJack_Bill]

o7 Harold, Finally found you're Channel. Good Content 🤘

[@HaroldPalmerYT]

Ahh man that's music to my ears dude! I love watching your streams even though I don't shoot things in game. Nice one! (when you stream, i've usually had beer cos' it's late night for me! lol)

[@BlackJack_Bill]

​@@HaroldPalmerYT Right on man, I will be sure to give you're channel a shout out when I see you on the Stream.

[@bananasandbass]

Wait what, I've never see these gadgets and you can attach them to your backpack??? Huh? But aren't those components for your ship laser?

[@HaroldPalmerYT]

Ship laser components are called 'Modules" in this game. Gadgets you carry and fix to a rock. I use both for better buffs!
