Yeah, you have to reach a certain level in the forum before you get to edit your posts. Doesn't make sense, but that's the way they do it.

I haven't had any trouble mining at any speed now that I equipped both slots 0 and 1 with cannons as well.

also, I thought I read someone saying you could unload your cargo in space with the Y-8. Is this true? And if so, how?

Cannons?


OK - could someone break it down Barney style and spell out the successful configuration of a Y-8 that has been flown, has mined successfully, and has no inherent bugs that will stop it from performing its primary functions?


And, if such a configuration exists, it would be a huge bonus to let us all in on the methodology you use to mine with a Y-8 as well.


Thanks

I second that.


Those of you who are successfully mining in the y8 please, PLEASE post your complete setup.


What parts? Where? Are you alone? Are there people on your ship?


Are you declared? On leave? A certain faction?


Post as many details as possible, it would be greatly appreciated.






Malbeuf, of which there is only one.

Ok.... now for a noooob question, where in the ship is the "control" to fire the weapon 2 - Mining cannon


I have search in all the ship and didnt find the place......


2 chairs in the front ( Operation Station ) ....


1 Chair Pilot


Up / Down turrets...


Rigth ?


And its confirm that this weapon can only be control when some one is on the Pilot Chair ?

Weapon #2 is fired from thepilot chair. The other 2 weapon slots are controled buy the turret stations. Hit the elevator behind the pilot chair - the top turret is right there (turrent control is in the elevator), the bottom one is one flight down (turret control is in the elevator again)


The other chairs preform the following functions (Narut0):

helmsmen - unlike other POB ships this one can have two opporations personal, both of whom can activate droid commands, use comms & activate pilot commands. (also launch missilies i think, but don't quote me on that one) the helmsmen is the guy to call on when your shields are badly breached as he can press the might DROID COMMAND button that shifts power from capacitors to shileds (cap>shield shunt 4)


(Some more usefull info) Narut0 wrote the following:

currenly the Y-8 will only let you use a Turret mounted mining laser if someone is piloting the ship, if there is no one behind the wheel then that Y-8 mining laser is just gonna shoot of dud fireworks


(Even more usefull info) Thatguyfubu wrote the following:

Just so everyone knows the chunks will not spawn if there is no one in the pilot seat. I tested this out. I loaded the mining laser to the top turret position. I had someone in the pilot seat and I was able to blow off chunks. As soon as I had them leave the pilot station it stopped spawning the chunks. So in order to have mining done from the other turrets you need to have them manned by other people.


Now - has anyone got a gear list of a Y-8 that has actually worked and the breif description on how to use it right?

Sirhc,


Thanks for the valuable information. Can't wait to set it up and start cranking out ore.

reactor - check
engines - check
shield - check
front armor - check
rear armor - check
capacitor - check
cargo hold - check (Y-8 small)
weapon 0 - check (normal weapon, NOT mining laser)
weapon 1 - check (normal weapon, NOT mining laser)
weapon 2 - check (Elite Mining Laser)

That is all I have in mine and I have not had any trouble since. The key is to have the 0 and 1 slots occupied with weapons also. I have NOT tried with mining lasers there too, so I can't tell you. And I do NOT have to be going over 400, 500, 600 or whatever speed was mentioned earlier. With this setup I can mine just like I can with any other ship, sans tractor beam, which kind of sucks.

Also "Cannons" = weapons, NON-mining laser.

I hope that is clear enough.
