The only thing i know .....it S...#$""#$#..K..S

Already made a bug report, today im going to trade the components and the ship "deed" , just to see if the bug is the SHIP or some thing to do with the character.

One thing i have notice, just for testing i try hit a ship ( small one, the ones near the base station, on kas. system ) and didnt made any damage, with the mining laser.

Finaly i have found the BUG !!

At least for me it work....

One thing i have notice, it was the capacitator never drops it always at the max when i was firing. Change capacitor , still happen, .....change the engine put a faster one, and work. The capacitor start to drop .

Dont know what a engine have to do with the capacitor, maybe the level off the engine ?.

If u are having the some bug notice if ur capacitor is droping if not change the engines....

• While soloing on the Y-8, mining could not be done while remaining still. I needed to exceed a speed of 600+ in order to mine. I'd also like to note that the "impact" animation of the mining laser changed when speeding up past 600 (from small blooms to larger ones). This was done with a mark II laser (given to me by the NPC on Kash). I'm going to attempt a solo mining run with a leetlaser as soon as my SW gets back to me.


• While mining with a player in turret 2, NOTHING broke off from the asteroid. A mark II was in the top turret and I was flying with a mark I. The boom animation was present while holding at 200m - 500m from the asteroid. I will perform this again tomorrow and /examine the condition to make sure there wasn't any change.

I'll attempt this again with the leet mining laser to see if these can be repeated. I'll be sure to include what I loaded the ship out with beforehand as well as noting if there was a drain from my cap when mining.

Another success with the Y-8

reactor - Mining-Grade Reactor (Y-8 Only) 23k generation rate

engine - Elite Engine (POB ship only) 115 speed, 63 pyr

shield - Elite Shields (POB ships only) 3100 hitpoints 19 recharge

front armor - Elite Armor (POB ship only) anything works here and it's never been hit 3300 hitpoints

rear armor - Elite Armor (POB ship only) anything works here same as above

capacitor - Mining-Grade Capacitor (Y-8 Only) 1500/47 recharge

booster - Elite Booster (POB ship only) does not matter

droid interface - whatever, I've tried several but now use a RE109 speed unit

cargo hold - Large Cargo Hold (Y-8 only) 34k capasity

weapon 0 -(normal weapon, NOT mining laser) Corellian Beamrail Gauss

weapon 1 - (normal weapon, NOT mining laser) Corellian Beamrail Gauss

weapon 2 - Elite Mining Laser (Y8 Only) .36 speed 2000 damage

ordnance - Mark IV Proton Launcher (use it or don't it does not matter)

Countermeasure Launcher - EM Emitter Launcher (this can be a micro-chaff)

I definately use a droid with engine overload 3, weapon overload 3 and weapon cap overload 3. In extreme circumstances I get up and run to the op chair to hit cap to shield shunt 4. I useshield rear adjust sometimes because it seems that all MP ships get hit in the rear more often than the front. Not much hurts this ship, if I get two spawns of asteroid bandits I'll head to the upper turret. I never reallymove, I stay 300 to 550m or so from the asteroid and leave my engine at 0 speed. I ignore all rocks that get away and try toat least explode all the big ones that spawn.I try to only spawn 1 rock at a time as the 3 that come out are usually too many to hit and cause the bandits to swarm. From what I've read it seems that some think it required todraw the rocks to the ship, just blow them up, the more accurate you are the better the yield.

If you want a tractor beam follow the instructions to bind a key to toggle it on and off. I used a crafted tractor beam in the Weapon 2 slot as described. I feel the tractor is useless. I was spending too much time going after the strays, the asteroid will respawn more rocks so there is no need to chase.
