Prospect needs some tweaks

Well, as you can see on the second set of pictures, the 3 MLU II take 90% of the CPU of the prospect, you definitely can’t put the 4th MLU II without one tech 2 or two tech I overclocking rigs, and will have trouble fitting the 3 midslots and the probe launcher, with a damage control unit in the last low (a nanofiber would be better).

True that the 3 high slots with 2 lasers make the Prospect needs a mobile depot anyway.

You were still uploading them… switch down to T2 (not deep core as that is only useful for Mercoxit which would delete the drones usefulness in full)

Oh ok sorry for the too early posting, although for the mining laser, the only other tech II small one is the Miner II, which doesn’t use mining crystals at all. The names are not inline with the bigger strip miners.

It’s a common mistake for beginner miners to assume the heaviest version is the best version. ORE specific ones are actually stronger than T2’s but for the basics you just need to compare with the standards. The strip miners actually slaughter with those crystals though…

Definitely sure I picked the best ones, if I remove these Modulated Deep Core Miner II and put Miner II instead, the yield drop by about 2 m3/s.

Sounds like pyfa has it cycling at 1 minute instead of the 3 it actually uses.

Sadly I can’t check myself because my account is staying alpha for a while, I can check live on sisi though.

Well I guess this would be an interesting test… Go to deep core miner 1.

Here is what I got with the Prospect, with 2 mining laser upgrade II in the low (numbers are per turret) :

  • Miner II : 344 m3 / 60 s

  • Deep Core Mining laser I : 229 m3 / 60 s , could not put 2 turrets and MLU II witthout CPU shortage, cannot use crystals (crokite crystal used for the tests)

  • Modulated Deep Core miner II : 688 m3 / 180 s without crystals, 1205 m3 / 180 s with tech 2 crystal

Put back to m3/s it gives in the same order : 5.7 , 3.8 , 3.8 and 6.7. (tech 1 crystal is 6.2)

The Modulated Deep Core miner II is the best of them with a tech 1 or tech 2 crystal loaded. ANother little detail is that Alpha players cannot use the best one, being limited to the Miner II.

The Prospect is still the best gas mining boat in the game. A Venture cannot tank a class 5 or 6 gas site by just being there.

You can still mine ore with her, which I did until I got an Endurance, my favorite mining boat.
