More mining.....

I did another mining run this morning at the same spot as last night. I decided to run from north to south today rather than West to East as I did yesterday. 

I am not sure, if it was because of this or because I hit this place less than 12 hours ago, but this morning I made 15 drops (450 Survey Probes worth 22.50 PEDs) and found nothing .....   bummer!

and to top that off I realized that when I did the repair round yesterday, I forgot my Vivo :-( so now I am (almost) broke and with a dwindling supply of Survey Probes (around 30 more drops) and no functioning Vivo .....   oh well, just need to get lucky or start sweating again ;-)

See you soon, out there ;-)

News update

It has been quite a while since I have written a piece. A lot has happened during this time.
I was lucky enough to get another transfer from back home, which I used to buy 2000 Survey Probes which I went mining with using my Finder F-101, that I crafted earlier.
Using this, I managed to both skill mining and drilling. And the Finder F101 is now tier 0.9.
I could try to tier upgrade it my self but I think that I would loose too much material, as my skill level is too low. So I have asked someone in my Society - Synergen - to help me out.
I have not used all my probes but as the F-101 is 'stuck' at tier 0.9 until it is upgraded I needed to do something else.
So I bought a complete Pixie armour set as individual parts on auction. I got most parts at 2 PEDs each and then I had to repair it. I guess I spent about 20 PEDs in total.
I also bought a Castorian Combat enBlade-A as someone told me that it was better to hunt with.
I am not sure if that is the case. It is expensive in repair so although you do not have to buy ammo you need to repair quite often. In return I have skilled my strength up so that I am now able to carry 245 kg of gear. I also gained professions in Swords.

See you soon, out there ;-)

Mining trip to Atlas Haven

Now I want to start doing some serious mining on Planet Calypso, but I do not have the PEDs to do it.

So I decided to cash in on my previous diggings, because I found someone that was interested in my Oil. I sold that at a little higher price than TT value but less than the Market Value, but I needed the money, so I went for it.

I also decided to sell off the ore/matter finders I had, a Finder F-101 that I had constructed myself and a Ziplex Z-1 Seeker that I had in my personal storage. The reasoning for selling these items was that I expected to do better with a lot of probing using the newbie Genesis Rookie Finder (L), using only 2 Survey Probes per probing for ore and 1 probe per probing for energy matter than the F-101 and Z-1 that uses 10 times the amount.

So I bought 200 Survey Probes (I had 4 instock from completing the mining quest outside Port Atlantis (PA) for Mr. Hornby) and a the newbie finder Genesis Rookie Finder (L) and set off for the PA Teleport (TP) and went to Atlas Haven (AH).

I only did probes just around Atlas Haven (AH) as there was a lot of mobs out of my league (levels L6-L9), with my lack of protection and only an un-amplified Sollomate Opallo. But I did find a 2 deposits, one oil deposit and one Lysterium Stone deposit. They were Minimal (I) and Tiny (II).

During one of the breaks - I was teleported back to the Revival Terminal :-( - I did a little manufacturing, producing 2 Combustors. A  Combustor is one of the parts for vehicles.

I probably should not have done that, but I was curious to the process and in the process the blueprint quality rose to 1.4 :-) I don't know exactly what that will do for me, but I guess it will improve my chance of success and the condition of my manufacturing of Combustors in the future :-)

For now I think I will stick to the production of the F-101 Finder to improve my skills and maybe, just maybe I will get lucky and get some good condition F-101's to auction off :-)

See You out there! ;-)
