StarCitizen - Fully Crewed Mining Operation On The Fantastic New Planet

Out in the distant rim of the Stanton System we decide to try and strike it rich in this patch as we venture through the blizzards and dust storms of the planet Micro-Tech in the search of some cool rocks.

i love how the players get to relay actually useful (more or less, critical) information to each other that they're all mutually interested in. it takes on a much more realistic and immersive experience that's a lot more appealing than what most multiplayer online games are like where its mostly silly and or plain rude behavior, just because the players are more or less bored and seek attention.

[@zhain0]

Its going to allow groups to play a detailed version of the part of any scifi game they have ever wanted. Or atleast thats the goal. Make or break is going to be if ganking is an issue when it highly populatd. Not only that, games like eve online had to change ALOT very quickly in the first yer because players banded together and caused chaos like they never could imagine lol. Thats the issue with games either so much freedom. Im not sure what they are ganna do when 100 capital ships and hundreds of sub caps get together.

[@slameradon165]

Watching this has made me want to try my hand at mining now....but I'll be doing my IRL job then as well as play it xD

[@chriskelvin248]

So...on this multi-crew op, the pilot was driving, navigating and operating scan. Just what do the mining operator stations see during scans? Nothing? Just the sweep lines? The ping result? The "minable object" overlay icon when within close range? I'm assuming if the operators enable mining mode on their stations, they will have access to the close-range scan? I only had access to a Mole briefly, and then only solo. I drive a Prospector these days...

[@stevensims3342]

Pretty dope. Would be nice to eventually see some practical controls for pilot of a ship like this (Route miner scan overlay to pilot). Would be cool to see the frigid atmosphere affect the fracturing laser in some manner. It should be hazardous and more difficult to mine in these settings but perhaps have the chance to extract from richer outcrops. In terms of mining on foot, they should have veins in the sides of those chunks of rock, that would feel and look more practical than getting out of your massive mining ship to mine a little mound of stuff. :\

[@atorgerson1136]

Thinking it may be better to use a prospector in conjunction with the MOLE. Prospectors find the rocks that they cant mine and have good Quantities of the desired ore. Then the MOLE moves in, Should save on using so much fuel. OFcourse would be better if each crewmember has a prospector on hand too use so they can alternate who stays with the mole and who scouts for it. No idea if this is even more or less cost effective, just thinking on ways to extend the use of the MOLE before returning to refuel.

As of right now it is just that, but you crash every hour or so. Not like plane-crash, but if you try that game you’ll get it.
