fleet mining

It's nice to have fleet miners back to working at least somewhat decently again. Very glad of it - much carpal tunnel syndrome shall be avoided. Couple items for thought and discussion along with suggestions: Aim & Fire They still love to aim at single blocks on the edge of the asteroid and...

Hello all, Short story is I made a small mining fleet as the new power update prevents me from creating the planet consumer size mining ships i used to use, so i opt'ed for 6 smaller ships. Built the first one out, connected everything up (salvage to salvage beams and storage, storage...

The current state of fleet mining is very unsatisfying. My proposal to replace AI: - Send ship to a reasonable distance to the closest asteroid (if there is no other miner yet) and dont change position as long as no other ships are in close proximity (no silly jumping around asteroids) -...

TFS Nexus The Tygeria Fleet Shipyards Nexus is a tough little miner and a workhorse for a couple of well off miners. It has a mining array capable of eating through most asteroids in seconds, and enough storage space for a medium length mining trip. The salvage array of the Nexus consists...

The Hyena Type C is a modified Hyena Class Day One Scavenger. The Salvage array was removed and replaced with more power and a larger jump drive. With the addition of 4 Hyena Type D drones, the Hyena Fleet Mining System is a useful addition to anyones fleet. It comes with a dorsal mounted dock...

Imagine the scene. The Director of R&D at Isanth approaches his counterpart at Aome Salvage & Industries and asks him if ASI could produce a Fleet Mining System based upon their popular Isanth Type-VI. The only catch was the short deadline. With the prospect of a lucrative association with one...

It is of little surprise that Aome Salvage & Industries (ASI) develop a variety of salvage systems. The Micro Fleet Mining System has taken the Micro Scavenger and converted it into a small carrier for two compact mining drones. The mining drones, while small, are designed to be as efficient as...

I have been drone mining (using fleets, of course) more and more lately. After extensive fine tuning of my drones, my carryall, and my technique I'm really loving it now. As a family man who works from home and often needs to be AFK unexpectedly while playing SM, I've found that mining drones go...

This Mining Drone is best accompanied by approx. 9 other 200 series drones. A video about the build can be seen here: It has enough storage capacities for even the biggest of asteroids, and can mine through at steady rates At the aft of the drone, all important connection blocks are...

Following on from Sit and Spin Mining Drone? and not wishing to further hijack the thread I have carried out some basic tests on three variations of my small mining drone. All three are small 5x5x5 ships and consist of the same power, thrust, storage, cargo space and a rail docker. None have...
