I've got lvl 4 survery, so I am not on about the 'grind' to get there, but really, after obtaining it, you think it would be great. But no, you still fail to retrieve a resource more times than you succesfully retrieve it, still costs tons of mind/action points. We should be able to suck this stuff out of the ground, not failing, especially when sat on a nice fat % resource, any rumours or news on this being reworked?

survey is not meant to be a "mining" skill. once you find a nice %loaction then place a harvester at that place. You ll be able to buy a nice BER (base extraction rate) 3 harvester for about 500 to 3k at the bazaars. I found a nice spot with 86% steel on tatooine and I placed 9 harvesters at that location, the ressource havnt shifted for over a week now and I collect a good 30k steel a day like that. If you macro survey to a location then most you ll be able to get is about 2 or 3 k and thats how it should be imho (even tough I dont think survey should be macroable).
