Pre requisits:

2 accounts 2 computers (someone has to be in the top turret at all times, I can't imagine an actual player wanting to do this)

Equip your Y-8 like this:

Top turret is the tractor beem
fixed forward gun is your Y-8 elite mineing laser
rear mounted wapon you can do with as you please, its mostly useless
droid progrms: Reactor OL4, Cap OL4, Engine OL 3, Weapon OL 3, Shield shunt 4
Cargo hold, bigger is better

When you launch:

2nd account get in 1 of the 2 opperations chair and run the 4 overloads.
after over loads are complete move the 2nd account to the upper turret
Toggle the Tractor beem on with the 2nd account (doing it from the pilot seat will only turn on an imaginary tractor beem that does nothing)
While looking in first person view pilots chair adjust the tractor beem so that half of the beem runs down the middle-left strutt in the forward window. This approxamatly intersects your reticle's cross hair at 50m-150m from target rock.
Once the beem is aimed the pilot needs to zoom out to external view. You cant see jack from the interior view.
use the laser on the big rock to break of a chunk
Target the chunk and match its speed.
Optimal distance to target is 50m-150m. if it's farther than 180m, just turn around and break off another chunk. dont bother chaceing anything.
Aim the beem at the center of rotation, Put the white flashlight on the green lead indicator.
Tap the chunk with the laser and SLURP 90-100% of the chunk instanly pops in your hold. Most of the time I do not bother picking up the small potatos the splatter around. but if you must you will be at the same speed as the little rocks for EZ pickup with the beem.

If I were to do this in a fighter, I would use auto follow instead of matching target speed. A fighter is better able to adjust speed than the Y-8 and autofollow puts you in the most optomal distance and aimed at the center of rotation.

All depends really. If i'm doing well and have a good routine going i can probably do 6k or more in an hour. Tho that number would be around 10k in an hour if the space resource experimenation was fixed for shipwrights. I only have a 1550 unit hold.

So what's your secret flying the Y8? I can fill my dunelizard 1550 in about 10-15 minutes. The Y8 is soo bulky I have alot of problems trying to gather chunks.
