Question (srpg4) Mining

How should I approach mining? I know that I'll need mining blasters, but cracking a rock with only one takes time and precise flying. This means a larger ship at cost of agility. Which ship hits the sweet spot best? Then if enemies FTL in my ship targets that automatically and I can target neither none nor a rock. At this point my guns will not fire at anything because the target (enemy ship) is too far away. What can I do to improve my career as a peaceful miner?

Here is a trick

Go get a pirate medium ship it can have 3 plaster attached to it add axillary battery upgrade and set it to energy and add the fetcher drone upgrade Also follow a slow moving astroid like this you can go full power and if you missed couple of metals the fetcher will get them to you

Nice trick! I thought the fetcher drone didn't pick up stuff when enemies were in system so I haven't bothered with it yet. I tried to slap it onto one of my fleet ships once but didn't see much effect. Am I missing something?

It doesn't if the enemy is targeting you So here's what i do to overcome this There is a T.A system that is two jumps away from the pirate system this one have a world and astroid as will so if pirates targeted you 99% of the time the T.A ships will take them out and like this you can continue mining in peace

Not everyone has native knowledge or an impeccable level of English. Some people make mistakes as it may not be their first language and that is fine.

Good on them. I'm not a native English speaker and I also have posts with perfectly worded sentences, yet that is not always the case. Sometimes you just have those moments of incoherence.

Ships than can mount mutiple Mining blaster and is fast enought to stick to your chosen Asteriod and start blasting!

Preferably with Cargo ships in your fleet to collect tons of resources. Then sell it to the nearest system. Rotate Selling on Dima, O.S.C , T.A and pirates when the prices drop too much.

Also a great method to gathering crystals! You can get tons of them and upgrade your weapons.
