Star Citizen - Multi Prospector mining in 3.23 - is it worth it?

[@Anomyos]

I noticed you guys crack rocks with 14scu worth of gold in it. Not really worth for 2 people to crack things like that. I have been trying to figure out calculations that would show what things are worth the time. Taking into account finding rocks and how much is wasted cracking.

Yeah you are right, this was more of testing, trying and having fun. We usually go with 1 mole with crew of 3 and a Prospector. We usually only take tier 1 materials 40% + And maximum mass rocks. Which means solo with that loadout 15 k mass and together around 23 k mass.

What’s the damn point if they wipe all the money they make.?

[@X-Wings-X-a-StarCitizen]

Well I suggest you play the game because you have fun doing it. Otherwise, yes what is the point? And in general: We are in an alpha, there will be always wipes according to the need of the game development. Or if ppl use exploits and dupe the shit out of the game which fcks up the database.

New to mining here, is the Helix II recommended over the Helix I ??

[@X-Wings-X-a-StarCitizen]

Welcome to StarCitizen Helix 1 is a size 1 = for Prospector Helix 2 is size 2 = for the mole So the number after the mining head is about the size. With the moduls it is different. A Fokus 2 module for example gives a 3 % less big optimal widows compared to the Fokus 3.
