In this video, the player conducts a prospector mining run on the foggy planet Vatra in Star Citizen 4.3.2, encountering mostly low-quality ores but managing to collect a mix of Teranite and Titanium despite challenges like shield damage and strong winds. After refining, they conclude that Vatra offers less valuable mining opportunities compared to planets like Ignis, encouraging viewers to share their own mining experiences.
In this video, the player embarks on a prospector mining expedition on the planet Vatra in Star Citizen 4.3.2, following a successful mining run on Ignis in a previous video. They note the foggy atmosphere of Vatra and decide to dive straight into mining without any unnecessary delays. Upon scanning, they find several mineral deposits but quickly realize that many of the ores are of low quality or “barrel,” which is undesirable for mining. Despite this, they manage to find some deposits of Teranite with varying percentages, some reaching up to 41%, and begin mining these.
As the player continues to explore different clusters, they encounter mostly low-quality ores and some impossible-to-mine materials like Quantanium and gold at low percentages. They express frustration at the lack of valuable finds and joke about needing a Mole ship for more efficient mining. They cautiously mine some Teranite deposits with percentages ranging from 6% to 74%, carefully selecting which ores to break and collect, aiming to maximize the value of their cargo given the limited space.
Throughout the mining session, the player comments on the challenges faced, including unexpected shield damage from a rock and strong winds affecting ship control. They decide not to break additional rocks for small amounts of ore to avoid wasting cargo space, ultimately filling their Prospector’s cargo with a mix of ores, mostly Teranite and Titanium. After completing the mining, they head back to the refinery to process and sell their collected materials.
At the refinery, the player reviews the refining results, noting the quantities of Corundum, Titanium, and Teranite obtained. They also discuss the mineral percentages on Vatra, highlighting the low chances of finding rare materials like Quintanium and Stellaron compared to other planets like Ignis. The player reflects that Ignis might have better mining prospects based on their experience and invites viewers to share their own mining results and preferred methods in the comments.
In conclusion, the video provides an honest and straightforward look at prospector mining on Vatra, emphasizing the mixed results and challenges of mining on this foggy planet. The player maintains a practical approach, focusing on efficient mining without fluff, and encourages community interaction to learn more about mining experiences on Vatra. The video ends with the player signing off and looking forward to future mining adventures.
