I took my y-8 ship out for a test run. When I fired my mining laser at the astroid, nothing happened. No chunks came off, nothing. Is it bugged or am I doing something wrong

the asteroid could have had its max number of chunks already broken off. if that happens, just blow up the mother asteroid, and a new one will spawn

two questions for you.


Are you trying on TC? TC is behind a few updates compaired to live.


Are you using the Elite Mining Laser? Its bugged on TC, not sure about live.

Heh...TC is behind a few updates....maybe that's why there were so many problems with the CU/ROTW...

Doesn't matter the server I'm guessing...I'm on Flurry, and I can't mine anything with the Y-8, even with an elite Y-8 mining laser. Doesn't matter what asteroid I try to mine, or what position the gun is installed....THE SHIP IS MAJORLY BUGGED...It simply will not mine...


The tractor beam is bugged...if you shoot it from the top turret, from the pilot's seat you see it continuously firing even when the gunner is no longer firing...


Thanks for fixing the minor issue with dropping items....now how about making the ship useful for what it was designed to do??

with the tractor beam, there is an option to turn it on and turn it off. Two seperat toggles for it. You didn't have the off toggle keyed. I know that drove me nuts till i found that option. Under the option screen where you can set you keymap.

yeah if nothing is coming off of it, do a /examine on it and reduce it's hitpoints to 0. It will blow and spawn a new one in it's place.

Thanks, I'll check that out. That might fix the tractor beam problem, but what about the fact that it won't mine period? I see some posts say they have no problems mining, some posts say the mining laser only works in some hard points, and others are having the same problem I am where it doesn't matter where it is, it simply will not mine. Anyone know of a fix or a work around? I've even tried re-deeding the ship, no dice. Still nothing. Here is what's in it right now:


Main Reactor: Mark V Fusion power output 18303


Weapon 0: Elite Mining Laser 1782-2044 drain 2557.9


Weapon 1: AG1G Laser Cannon


Weapon 2: empty


no ordinance, and nothing special about any other component. It has the quest Cargo Hold, I'm going to try it with a player made hold and see if that fixes my problem.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm on Bria server. I took the ship back out yesterday and finally got some chunks. I haven't found this elite mining laser yet. I'm still using Mark II laser. The shipwrights on my server just haven't got it together yet. I'm still trying to figure out what use the tractor beam is and how to use it when I'm alone. I didn't get much material from the time I was out.

I'd be happy if I could just GET it to mine...it doesn't break off pieces, none what so ever...If I examine the asteroid before I start shooting it and record the condition, it doesn't change AT ALL when I use the mining laser on it. Somehow, I think that the ships are bugged, (like many other quest based items in this game) that it works for some, doesn't work for others...


Master Shipwrights can now make elite componets for POB ships, the Elite Mining laser is a laser only for the Y-8. The problem is, all of these elite components take space resources...BUT IF YOU CAN'T MINE IT IN LARGE QUANTITIES, IT TAKES FOREVER....Which, is my frustration... I have elite components I wish to make, CANT...because it takes me 1 hour to mine just 1/4th of the required resources (in between fighting off bandits) in my TIE Oppressor. Then, I have to land and empty the Cargo Hold of my measly 2k resources and launch again.


If anyone hasANY CLUE on how to get a bugged Y-8 to mine, please respond.


Thanks

Im wondering if POB ships are bugged someway with mining.

Just took my Nova out with a MK III mining laser.

Coudlnt even scratch the astroid, i may as well have been using a laser cannon.

Took the mining laser out, put it back in my B wing, went back to the same astroid, and it came apart quite easily.

i am not sure if it makes a difference but last week i took out my y-8 solo and no luck unless i came in from a distance and kept shooting and flew by like a fighter would, but thats not a workable mining methode.Ibrought a fellow master pilot up with me to pilot while i ran the tb and to be surprised we were blowing chunks off the asteroid at a complete standstill. my co-pilot needed to get going so i dropped him off and flew back to the same asteroid and guess what, no chunks.


so try bringing a crew with you with atleast one other master pilot with you. might work, might not but worth a try i say
