This video showcases the updated mining gameplay in Star Citizen, specifically focusing on the use of the Prospector ship on the MicroTech planet. The video explains that previous mining patches had limited players to going after the most profitable materials, but now there is more room for variety in mining sizes and styles. The player sets off on a mining trip, selecting a Quantum travel destination that is off the beaten path to avoid potential conflicts with other players. The video includes footage of the Prospector flying through the thick atmosphere of MicroTech and scanning rocks for mineable materials.
The player discusses the changes in mining and the hierarchy of valuable ores, with quantainium being the most valuable. They demonstrate the process of mining, breaking rocks to extract materials like bexolite and ballast. They also discuss the different mining lasers and their impact on the mining process. The player showcases their mining techniques, including using external views for screenshots and being less picky about finding the perfect rock, opting for decently profitable options instead.
The video highlights the peaceful and scenic environment of MicroTech, making it an enjoyable place for mining trips. It also mentions the quick filling of the Prospector’s cargo bay and the relatively short duration of the mining trip, taking about 30 minutes from start to finish. The player finds satisfaction in the new mining approach, spending more time actively mining rocks rather than searching for the most profitable ones. They appreciate the ability to make decent profits and quickly return to mining for more materials.
To wrap up, the player takes their mined materials back to the refinery station to see their value. They calculate that the processed materials will be worth around 75k in-game currency, which is a respectable amount for just half an hour of mining.
