    Farrister pro tip. When you get close to the rocks in the mole, press M. It will engage mining mode in the cockpit. You won't be able to use the turrets but you can use the dedicated mineral scanner on the rocks same as when you are in a Prospector. Beats regular scanning every day of the week! And keep up the good work!

    Always learning something new: never thought of blowing up chunks that you don't want. I enjoy mining in the Mole more so than with the Prospector. Larger capacity and different Lasers to mod. I mod one for breaking and one for vacuuming with filters, to leave more dirt out! But I prefer mining Asteroids, compared to surface mining, the laser angle is quite horrendous. I tried hovering with Vtol enabled, but the RNG just hates me! Also that thing is sturdy! was on my way to deliver the ore and was attacked approaching the station. The shields just ate the firepower, even missles just made a K-thunk!-sound on impact and that was it. I just hat something about it, hate it with a passion: that bleeming power switch in the laser cabins is nonexistent! There is nothing there to click, it's like gesturing in front of a greased up kinect camera! Also I wish the theme song from Benny Hill should be playing while speeding up the footage, but that's just me. Also I like these kinds of Videos. We all know, that you struggle with everything we all struggle with: RNG, crashes, stuff not working or even forgetting how to play. But it's reassuring to be reminded that it doesn't happen only to us! Good stuff! Well done and thank you!

    At the risk of repeating, when you come close to the rock you want to mine (if you’re in mining mode you can see the distance) pitch up the nose so the rock is just below the top of the dash. This allows you to raise the mining laser to its highest point. Don’t land, just put it into VTOL mode so you don’t fall to the surface when you leave the pilot’s seat. I did my first mining trip in the Mole last night and loved it.i overcharged once, and the resulting explosion that damaged my Mole would have destroyed my Prospector.

    A little tip; For landing the invisible Area 18 port, point your nose between 265-285 dir. When(or then) you scan the area, look for the Galland laser rifle shape on the planet side. decend around 6k altitude then look for the purple stains on the clouds (2 by 2 hands of purple).. BUT (after quant. jump) if your first heading is around 40-85 then you might be rgiht top of the landin port. Then again decend arond 6k altitude while scanin for the Galland rifle shape and the purple dirt on the clouds

    Trying to operate the MOLE solo, with each mining arm dedicated to one stage of the process (initial fracturing, secondary fracturing, slurping) was a rough but interesting experience, running between the four seats and operating each function of the ship all alone. It's like having a mobile base. I don't think I'll be bothered to do it again😂 but I did have fun while I had the MOLE which I purchased in-game.

    Mining was all I did in the first 3 years of playing SC and the Mole was BY FAR my favorite ship as I could set 3 different laser configurations & modules giving me plenty of options. I've also noticed that you always land before breaking the rocks. Is this done to save on the costly hydrogen fuel (as the Mole is extremely thirsty whenever in atmo) or is it just for convenience? I personally always used VTOL mode and set myself within proper distance (depending on that laser head and modules I was gonna be using so it could be anywhere from 30m to 100m) but I always remained up in the air. As soon as I exit the pilot seat the ship remains in the same (hovering position) unless you mine on very windy planets (like on Microtech moons) then you will be drifting slightly and will have to move the ship back into position once in awhile. I have mined easily over 4500 hours and used to love soloing my Mole but sadly since CIG started nerfing almost everything from laser heads to the modules to gadgets to the rocks now being really hard to break & have also the crazy habit to go into overcharged mode in an instant, and also the decreasing $$ values of the ore + the increased cost of refining, I've now lost complete interest and melted it and mostly use my Reclaimer now. Thanks for the video Farrister. I always enjoy your content. Cheers.

    @@Farrister You definitely should. It makes your mining experience so much better and easier. The only times I landed was to place or to pick up my gadget once the rock was broken. Just remember to place the ship in VTOL mode and get ready to enjoy. I've never had my Mole falling to the ground while in hovering mode. There used to be a bug when you had someone mining with you and they would turn OFF the turret power before exiting the seat where it would shut down the entire ship systems and it would make it fall to the ground. If you mine with people, just tell them NOT to turn OFF the power of the turret when done. All they should do is EXIT the seat (press and hold "Y") and you should do the same when mining alone. Next times you come up on a rock your turret will already be ON and ready to go. Cheers

Even if CIG WIPES ALL SHIPS, aUEC, and items when 4.0 drops, as they used to do, I’ll still have my Prospector and Vulture. They are”mini aUEC printers.” I bought my Mole with what I earned with my Vulture in two to three weeks, and I was only doing one load per day., and none of the 80K cleanup missions. I run one Helix II with two Rieger III and one Focus III, one Hofstede II with one Rieger III and one Focus III, and one stock Arbor II with two FLTR XLT (or whatever the top FLTR module is) for extracting.

    I never worry about pirates during mining or on my way back to the refinery. As there is no benefit to stealing raw ore. The pirate can’t refine it because it’s marked as stolen, and I don’t think you can sell unrefined ore. However, I do run multiple dogleg routes from the refinery to where I’m going to sell nothing says REFINED ORE like seeing a Cutty Black, a Connie, or other cargo ship leaving a Refinery!

    I enjoyed the Mole when I had it BUT the servers really need to be solid since rocks disappear/re appear, ping sometimes dose not work properly, no info from rocks, try to mine and rock does nothing (server not register the rock) but sometimes shooting rock will register rock with server. It's enjoyable to mine but will try again after 3.23

I'm not entirely sure why that is, sometimes I take a few percentage points of health, other times more (sometimes a significant amount), but I can jump down multiple times during a mining run and heal when I depart for the refinery station or when I get there.

    In a prospector its very easy in its basic form. 1. Take your Prospector to Lyria 2. Scan the surface for Quantainium: (look for clusters of Quantainium). 3.Break-up the rocks you fancy, but!!! ''Do not pick up a single morsel of Quant before you are satisfied you have enough for a test run'' 4. Pull up your Star Map and ''SET your route back to the REFINERY'', if you cant set a route until you are off planet, become familiar where on the map you need to head once you have taken off. 5. Pick up all your Quant and the timer will start, lift off, leave the surface, head back to the Refinery...this will only take a 6-7 mins. 6. Relax and dont rush on your approach, land and go inside and STORE your Ship, once stored it wont explode. !!!you can eject the quant in space if you cant make it in time!! 6. Go to the refinery and create your 1st refining job. It is that easy. Here's a link explaining the process, its a rince and repeat process, Enjoy kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmaEsZh9lNqsfso.html

    The Mole just doesn't make sense to me. It's built for a crew of three or four, but isn't more profitable than the Prospector (with mole bags) unless you solo it. And it's not great at solo use, due to all the ladder climbing to reposition the ship.

    Assuming the server is stable, I love to 4 man crew the MOLE even with its current design I pledged the MOLE. So typically I’ll gather my crew, we will roll out, bring food/water etc. I’ll fly, have my 3 crew on the extractors and we just do nonstop runs to a nearby refinery. What makes it more immersive though is being in discord and watching their streams all at once. That way if some rock overcharges I can be watching and back up as needed. Sometimes though I’ll have my crew meet at a mining location and then they will get in their own personal ships and spread out looking for more profitable spots within one moon/planet. I miss it
