Just some suggestions regarding to Sammic

Jul 04, 2021 HunPredator link
Well, idk what is the plan with Sammic, but right now mining it is a major hassle due to the extreme low percentages
Considering the ore found in hive sectors, so roids should have min 5-20% of the ore. Otherwise it will be pretty much unmineable in bot sectors. Also a sammic specific beam is a must with at least 100-200% bonus.
Or is these 1% roids are intentional? Its rare okay.... but the percentages are crazy low.

Yes, it is supposed to be rare, and somewhat challenging to extract in quantity, with added risk. Some people have reportedly found this to be fun.

The game is changing, evolving and expanding. You can expect that your tactics and expectations will need to evolve along with them.

I mean, people also have shielded capital ships with remote mining capabilities and stuff. This isn't mining circa-2005.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against tweaking things about Sammic, or getting feedback on it, but the point being made has to be something more compelling than "this isn't how things have worked previously".

Hun,

There are mechanics built into the game already to make mining more efficient. Learn then, and you'll be able the mine more. This is a really fun update.

Okay, i wanted to hear your opinion Inc
Capship mining needed
But rn, inceasing ore in roids should be max 3-5%. That is reasonable amount of ore, and with HD beams could be fun
If capship mining is completely done, like miner turrets and stuff, mining will be much better.

@We all float yeah
I actually enjoy things like ninja mining, i did it in levi sectors. Going in, avoiding bots, mining some, then leaving
If sammic would have higher percentages, mining in bot sectors would be extra fun
I like stuff like this. Just 1% ore isn't enough for this

Just 1% ore isn't enough for this

You don't actually know right now what the ore is going to be used for. Remember, the ore is very dense (it weights in at 1000kg per cu). A little could end up going a long way. And if so, then the small amounts that are being mined right could be a lot.

What should be changed is the station buy price. The ore being as rare as it is, should be bought by the stations for much much more.

only in Latos it should sell for quite a lot
