How do you properly mine with this thing? Should I have mining turrets on every slot? Or a mining laser on the pilot gun and have the other 2 front ones tractor beams.

I've tried putting newly crafted tractor beams in each turret, and they don't seem to work at all.


I also tried Y-8 mining lasers in all the turrets, but I can't seem to get asteroid chunks to break off


Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'd be interested in some info from anyone that has actually got this working.

Does anyone mine with the Y-8? And if you do HOW IN ALL HELL DO YO DO IT?!?!?!


It almost seems impossible, my friend Inoy I have tried and tried and cant seem to be able to do it worth a crap and its getting annoying. It almost seems like that beast of a ship is not good for anything but for storage.


If you have a system down for mining with it please let me know, especialy if it can be done with only 2 of us that would be great.


The way I set it up was I had the tractor beam set for myself (the pilot) and the blaster set for my friend but I cant see where the tractor beam is going and my friend cant tell whats going on really.


Any info would be more then appreciated.


Thanks!
