Regarding prospector controller: simply switch it on/off in right panel. This will erase already used limpets and you can again use them up to controller max capacity. Simple workaround to avoid old bug ...

Yes, we know that, multiple limpets are still pointless. Have you used this method as a work around? Have you mined before on a large scale where you make 6-9 million an hour? Please don't claim "bug workaround" when you have no idea. If you are searching for something, why leave a search history? Miners travel straight keeping 15-20km from center to avoid most pirate activity in RES (Hazardous) zones. Nobody turns around and says: "I wonder what the last 8 crappy rocks were"

Well, it sure does sound like you know exactly what you're talking about and how to best play the game. I'll be sure to seek you out if I need any advice on mining or otherwise. Fly safe!

It's like being on a sunbed of wisdom. Stop blocking my light James.

It's so lovely when people say / use the word We when they really mean themselves. And instead of trying to find out where one would've misunderstood the other, they try to make them look less intelligent. Only resulting in themselves getting seen that way. Funny how perception works, doesn't it?

Never mind using the "royal 'we'" - it's irksome when people "ask a question" when they've clearly already got their mind made up and react with hostility (and the "we" BS) to anyone else's contrary point of view.

I'm happy to help and share my experience and opinions with anyone interested. Anyone not interested is just rude by feigning interest just to hammer their own agenda. Damned amateur sea lions!

It's counter productive to comment on a subject that you have no idea what you are talking about. Use 8 limpets? BAH! You have clearly never done this before. Please understand I don't mean to come off as rude, I'm just baffled how not a single person knows anything about this subject.

You can earn 7,000,000 / hour mining and often includes combat. Compare that with Smuggling, Trading or Bounty Hunting.

Well, if you really go to a res to mine and then move away from the center, then you have not the slightest clue about mining done properly.

Over 20km from center you get no high yield perks, almost as if you are not in an RES at all with 42 max shard count, average 30 shard count even in a wing.

Under 20km from center yields go up to 52 - 59 without a wing and up to 100 shards per rock when you are in a wing.

Under 15km from center attracts non-stop pirate activity and not recommended unless you have protection in your wing.

I'll second that. I spend almost as much time here in Inara reading posts, etc. As I do in game.
Thanks for keeping me entertained.

Mining is what you do when you want to enjoy the silence around you, except for the sound the limpets make when they deliver the raw metals or minerals. And the sound of the Refinery when it transforms one form of matter into another.

When you see the Asteroids out there, some seemingly frozen in place, others swirling around slower or faster, realizing they are debris from a impact so powerful that it was able to transform a orbiting moon or a entire planet into a field of rocks floating in space, it makes one sit there in awe.

We're always - both in RL and this game - chasing after some monetary gains. RL one can understand, without the ability to pay your rent or otherwise you're pretty much done for, unable to live a so called normal life. But the Credits in this game are imaginary money, just a number created by 0's and 1's, like the rest of what you see.

If anyone wants to be a slave to numbers, be my guest. I sure as heck will not be, and enjoy Mining as something to kick back and relax, and not as something that pressures you to be efficient.
