Ok these have probable been anwsered already. But, I am at work and don't have the time to search for them so I am hopeing someone out there will be nice enough to anwser a couple questions I have about my new ride the Y-8 mining ship.

First. I took a guildmate up last night in it for her maiden flight. We did the normal run around ohh and ahh of all the stuff and places to go teset weapons and flew areound. Very cool I might added. The question is this. I went up to a Asteroid and started hammering it with my level 2 reward drill blaster and nothing happen. So I examend the asteroid and it showed no damage I hit it agin this time holding the triger down for a good 60 seconds still no chunks flying off and no damage to the roid. My guild mate at this point starts asking if I know what I am doing and I say if I did not I would not have this ride. Heheheh. Anyways the weapon was loaded into the forward firing slot (3). And, I was piloting it when I was mining so am I doing something wrong or is this yet another BUG?

Second is the Y-8 custamisable. Meaning can it be painted. It took the texture I put on it but there is no paint palet for primar or secondary to select from.

Ok any help is my apreciated. thanks

Yes, for most people the Y-8 is bugged. Some people have been able to mine with it solo, others (like myself) have had VERY limited success mining solo, and not much better efficiency with a full crew.

To mine solo I had to be in the pilot seat, and run at the asteroid at full throttle and boosters going (speed at around 750) to break off a piece of asteroid. Then had to do the same thing with the pieces in order to get them into the hold...not very efficient at all.

With a crew, I could mine from a dead stop with the mining laser on the top turret, but the tractor beam at the pilots' station would not pull in pieces of asteroid once it was busted up. With the mining laser at the pilots station, I couldn't break off a piece (unless I was running it at full throttle...see above paragraph). But then the top turret tractor beam would not work.

Basically, the ship is majorly bugged for many people, others' chassis are working just fine. It's quite frustrating, and apparently nobody of authority much cares, because all bugs and CSR tickets are ignored, and certainly haven't had too much feedback here on the forums from anyone of authority. So, while several people can mine space resources just fine, many others can't. Not exactly fair and equitable.

well I guess If I want to keep mining then I will need to keep useing the Hvy-Wing. But what about painting it. Any one have an idea on that?

No luck there either with the paint, only showed yellow for both primary and secondary colors.

If you get too close to the rock if won't actually hit it. "Too close" for the Y-8 is anything under 150m becasue the probe sticks out about 150m.
