PERSEVERANCE not GOOD? ENDURANCE CYCLE SHREDS the PERSEVERANCE

I just produced my Perseverance, and went out testing it…
I had only one Crits in my first room, and there was low enough people that I got my load almost uninterrupted… that changed when things got more busy…
Every Endurance on grid was coming for my Asteroids and I was constantly losing all of the mining
to the Endurances…

Their 50 sec cycle vs my 62sec cycles has killed my Asteroids multiple times, leaving me with Zero Ice… Even I f I had already started mining an Asteroid with 3 units left with allof three of my ICE miners on the same asteroids, one single Endurance would OUTMINE me completely and leave me with ZERO Ice at the End of the Cycle.

Whats’ worst, is tha mt Miners didn’t shut down immediately when the Asteroids got slurped, and kept running untill their cycle finished, and having three of them, I often didn’t know which one I had to shut down before it was too late and try redirect it on another Ice Asteroid…

So, the UI needs an overall upgrade OR the way the Ice miners works needs an upgrade…
In both cases, having 50% Crits bonus is GREAT IF there is also a 50% Cycle time bonus…
So instead of 182 secs per ICE miners we would get something like 135secs… or 15 secs LESS than the Endurance sub 50 sec per cycle
Or just Give the Perseverance 50 Sec per cycle like the Endurance… and give him the same Crits bonuses of the Endurance… which to me seemed to be the same if not higher playing today…

To the judges the final verdict…

PS: It wasn’t all bad. I had a good experience when uncontested… but in ICE mining…
this is almost never the case… Sub 4 sec alignment is great… but so is the Endurance…

It is meant to be used with boosts, not solo….

It appears that mining lasers should reserve the resources to be mined at the beginning of the cycle.

I haven’t looked at Perseverance stats, but am I understanding correctly from the original post that 1 mining laser cycles every 62 seconds on it?

Sure, let’s compare a mining destroyer that takes 1 level 4 skill to fly to an expedition frigate that takes 3 skills at level 5 to fly. What a meaningful comparison.

:roll_eyes:

Of course the Endurance is better than the Perseverance. It should be for the amount of time someone has to invest into flying it.
