Quick Fill Drunk Miner V2

Author: Trubs

This is an optimised mining build for the Python. No engineering is needed but some of the components can take some finding, use inara to locate them.

To mine load the ship up with about 75% limpets and head out to a mining spot, usually a planet with rings. Use the detailed surface scanner on the rings to identify the best places to mine. Head into the ring. Use the pulse wave analyser to highlight asteroids with high value minerals and metals. Fire a prospecting limpet at the asteroid while travelling at slow speed and straight ahead. Move into range. The mining lasers are the quickest way of extracting, set them on fire group one, set the collection limpet controllers on fire group 2. Blast away and release the limpets to collect the pieces. The refinery will then extract the minerals and deposit them in your hold.

Abrasion Blaster: Some deposits appear on the surface, should be obvious from the icon. Target the deposit and fire the abrasion blaster at it to knock off a high value chunk. This can take some practice.

Sub Surface Displacement Missile: Target the sub-surface deposit. Fire the missile into it and keep the trigger pressed. A chart will start scrolling, release when the graph is high and the line is passing a blue block. (Should be obvious.)

Seismic Charge Launcher: Some asteroids have high value cores. These need to be blown apart to access the minerals. Check on youtube for instructions.
