With the revamped ship I must say its a lot easier mining now witha crew of 3. Me in the pilots seat, a left chest and right chest gunner, the right chest gunner having a tractor beam. Both were able to blow up rocks and suck them in as I followed the said chunk. Few issues that need to be worked out:

Bridge windows all black, cannot see

Fixed? everything else =p

I was really happy that they fixed the Y-8 quest and am ecstatic that this has been implemented in-game.

However, there are afew bugs I have noticed in my Y-8 since the last server reset:

-I am receiving NO loot or credit chips from any kills in space while in my Y-8.

-Asteroids are not spawning chunks when they are fired at using Class II or III Mining Lasers in my Y-8.

-Windows are solid, I cannot see into space while inside the Y-8.

-I'm told my character is looking like he's riding a mount "spread eagle" while riding in the pilot chair of my Y-8 lol.

-Turrets are firing, but can't be aimed with any of the moving turrets. I'm not sure if they are effective in the Y-8.

Are these issues common across the board?

Any other issues? I of course have to add that I, and several other people, cannot mine using the Y-8 at all. Mounted guns don't break chunks off asteroids, drain capacitor energy, or even damage enemy ships.

Haven't tested it with the Y-8 yet, but what I noticed a few moments ago with my Decimator, is that I MUST BE SEATED IN THE PILOT'S CHAIR for the turret gunners to be able to mine. As soon as I stand up and wander the ship, the mining lasers, although they keep firing, cease to knock chunks off the 'roid.

This is intended. The Y-8 has no loot box.

-Asteroids are not spawning chunks when they are fired at using Class II or III Mining Lasers in my Y-8.

In my Y-8 i havn't had this problem. I use a combo of mk3 and elite lasers. they always see to get the job done

-Windows are solid, I cannot see into space while inside the Y-8.

Word.

-I'm told my character is looking like he's riding a mount "spread eagle" while riding in the pilot chair of my Y-8 lol.

Sit down in the chair, then select pilot ship. You won't be busting the spread eagle.

-Turrets are firing, but can't be aimed with any of the moving turrets. I'm not sure if they are effective in the Y-8.

I Can't get a tractor beam to work in any Y-8 weapon spot.

Are these issues common across the board?
