Iron is still useful - first of all there are certain modules that can only be built in certain materials. In the case of iron its the only material you can use to build interia dampeners (at least until you unlock avorion anyway). Also when you are trying to get you rep up with a faction by selling you get the same amount of rep whether you are selling them iron or avorion thus iron is a good thing to sell in this case.
Looking forward to learning more on how to build space stations. Also my suggestion for the next ship name is Miscreant to keep in line with your current theme.
EXOTIC OBJECT DETECTOR! Me wants the precious!! LOL I literally cheered when I saw that pop up... Looking forward to watching you exploit the heck out of that Spanj! Loving the series, happy you are back in Avorion!
I have a question about the exotics objects detector For 1 I a really have several but I haven’t been able to find anything good with them yet and they haven’t highlighted any valuables that it should have like stashes etc.
I like your turret setup. I personally run my salvagers and mining beams on stationary mounts as it allows better control on direct targeting, and also prevents beam stutter from targeted component shifting, but the way yours are set up is pretty cool, so long as that integrity field holds. ;D That said, I tend to surround my stationary array in a tube of probe/bumpers and shrouding since dropping turrets during collisions can be brutal. Anywho, three thumbs up!👍👍
Personally I use my auto slots on salvagers and mining beams while manually controlling combat turrets. I am just a beginner though so there might be a reason not to do that.
What i learned is that when you start of with an unbalanced ship; scaling it up is like just scaling up the issues. I mostly design small cheap ships and when they are well balanced then I upscale them and add the modules. This also makes it possible to step up to the next tier of material without any problems and with room for tweaking.
I know it is fun to blow the wrecks away, but you get a little more using the salvaging lasers. Also better chance for them to drop additional items. R-Mining lasers are nice, but you also have to remember that you lose a % during refining. I don't remember if that is a flat 10% or if it varies with rep.
It varies with rep, each rep increase lowers the tax However Using refining lasers are far less efficient than r mining, yes you do have to pay a small tax but you still keep 60-80% of the resources of the initial asteroid quantity Where as purifying lazers give like 10-20% if i remember correctly from the initial asteroid claim Overall r mining is better for getting large sums of rss real quick
Spanj, the emails that have a cargo box on the right side of the msg subject have cargo you can take! Thanks for the series, it got me hooked on the game. Not sure my wife would call say thanks, but anyway, enjoying the content :)
How mining operations yield works: To put it simple: the more asteroid fields are known within the selected area, the more yield can be harvested. the farther away from a factions center, the bigger the yield. So to maximize the yield, one must scout out as many green and yellow blips in the area you want to mine as possible beforehand. either by player or sending a captain on several scout missions in that area. Same scouting rule applies to Trading as well. the more systems with stations are known within the desired trading area, the higher the chance to find profitable trading runs. EDIT: Oh and i want to point out, that using salvaging lasers have a higher item dropchance than simply destroying the ship with guns. at least according to my observations. and the wrecks can sometimes have surprisingly big yields of resources. so a double win in my book to take it a bit slower.
Spanj, would the next ship in the class perhaps be named Vagabond? Miscreant? Knave? Scamp? Hellion? Reprobate? Scalawag? Caitiff? Great content by the way (as always)
Crew, I hire enough miners and gunners to meet the ship's needs but when Engineers & Mechanics keep adding more until the indicator in the crew tab of the ship menu shows you have 200% efficiency, this helps with engine efficiency and auto repairing after fights. Also, newly recruited crew give you 1.5 workforce per crewman and they upgrade to level 2 giving 2 workforce per crewman then level 3 giving 2.5 workforce per crewman, so you can transfer some of them to new ships once they are upgraded. To transfer crew between ships you need to be within 0.1km then press f to find the transfer menu. This all helps you to crew your ships while keeping wages under control. Those beacons do keep showing after you read them so I always salvage or destroy them, you can spend too much time looking for claimable asteroids that do not exist.
So glad you showed how to give the orders for mining in that way I always thought the only way was to move ships to a sector I've already discovered then highlight the ship press F and give orders to mine sector. I always wondered if there was a way to mine a specific material and now I know.. Great video Spanj thank you 😁 Edit: However, after copying exactly what you did I jumped to the sector where both my ships were mining and noticed that even after ordering both to only mine Titanium they were both clearly mining Iron.. I'm confused lol
its probably just a placeholder "animation" of them mining so they look busy while the boss is around, but they will only deliver titanium. They deliver that titanium regardless of if they appear to mine it or not i think.
I can say I have honestly no idea how you are getting such good yields from your mining ship! You must be in a much better part of the galaxy, because my mining ship maxed out at about 20k titanium for mining missions. :)
its odd, because they complain there are not many asteroids around here. thing is there are, dozens of 2k + asteroid sectors so i guess they just lying.
It depends on captain and your lasers, captains with miner perk will greatly boost results while some like gambler will greatly lower results, also depends where they refine ore etc.
my ship smaller than yours and i did the pirate boss like 5 times now with ease and the R mining lasers are amazing once i installed them iv never gone back, as for research you put in 3 ore more items you put into it and it will pick from the items you put in and give you a upgrade well a chance so more of 1 type you put in better the odds of that type coming out upgraded aka 2 R class and 1 normal mining = 2 in 3 chance of upgraded R class mining
This game seems like it’s right up my alley, but dang does it look complicated! But I guess if Spanj can figure it out, it can’t be THAT hard. Just messing!
28 mins. Nah if you found a station selling water as near the red on the heat map as possible, AI ships are generated to pop in and buy it from you. Best is to turn an asteroid into a mine of the right kind, but they’re rarely found in the bullseye. So you go buy a station founder and create it where you want. Smart would be in a friendly system with assets they protect by patrol. Then you arm your station & put your own patrol ship next door. You can transform that station with an asteroid with integrity fields and building sized generators and shields, etc... for 3 mill hit points, lol.
Good video I'll go back and watch the others! Amazing game but I can't get back into it now that my ships disappear while on missions. Also I'm trying to get a 2 player game going and life won't help lol.
Buy/loot "Garbarge" Turrets then use the R&D Station to "Research" them into better versions! Research is a bit random ... it use to be if you put 2 [Common] + 1[Uncommon] = higher chance to get [Uncommon] same with stats & other {Mods} (for example: 2 auto fire + manual = higher chance of auto fire ... but it is still all up to the blessings of RNG Jesus ... AMEN ⛪🚼🛐✝
Yep. If you grind salvage yards & have a combat escort to tank the pirates, you can get full inv. Go to research station Sort for particular type of gun or chip. Start with 5 white, pushes them up one, guaranteed. Keep going & you can end up pushing rares into exotics. Other way to go is to take your biggest cargo ship to salvage yard & break all turrets into components. This is awesome once you’re researching your own turrets schemes... I had to make a mothership out of a cargo station founder. And Still had to build the cargo bays fatter. Left the fighter bays tho, for salvage fighters.

For 1 I a really have several but I haven’t been able to find anything good with them yet and they haven’t highlighted any valuables that it should have like stashes etc.
I am so envious of that exotic detector you found!! My favorite thing is finding the hidden staches & Astroid hunting.
ikr super luck at 5000%
@Spanj Just an FYI but you have access to Torpedo Launchers at IRON/tech level 1, might help destroying them Pirates.

It varies with rep, each rep increase lowers the tax
However
Using refining lasers are far less efficient than r mining, yes you do have to pay a small tax but you still keep 60-80% of the resources of the initial asteroid quantity
Where as purifying lazers give like 10-20% if i remember correctly from the initial asteroid claim
Overall r mining is better for getting large sums of rss real quick

Later on you can jump across rifts if you have an avorion hypderive core - found this out last night and this even lets you get through the barrier.
Spanj and coffee in the morning are part of a healthy breakfast!!

gonna steal some of those names, tyvm
Really enjoying this series. Every new episode I learn something new to bring to my game.

its probably just a placeholder "animation" of them mining so they look busy while the boss is around, but they will only deliver titanium. They deliver that titanium regardless of if they appear to mine it or not i think.
on your mining missions click on immediate delivery and you wont need to do those annoying captain messages to accept yeilds
It's a good idea to have a captain who is a commador on your personal ship so you can order your ship to mine a sector
I can say I have honestly no idea how you are getting such good yields from your mining ship! You must be in a much better part of the galaxy, because my mining ship maxed out at about 20k titanium for mining missions. :)
its odd, because they complain there are not many asteroids around here. thing is there are, dozens of 2k + asteroid sectors so i guess they just lying.
@@Spanj one thing that helps them be more accurate is to send a scouting mission to the area you want to mine first.
It depends on captain and your lasers, captains with miner perk will greatly boost results while some like gambler will greatly lower results, also depends where they refine ore etc.
That was so cool how you were able to beat those pirates. Great adventure. Thanks for the vid. 😎
OMG i want this game! :) thank you for giving me a new addiction spanj :) now I just have to decide between Avorian and Vallheim
my ship smaller than yours and i did the pirate boss like 5 times now with ease and the R mining lasers are amazing once i installed them iv never gone back, as for research you put in 3 ore more items you put into it and it will pick from the items you put in and give you a upgrade well a chance so more of 1 type you put in better the odds of that type coming out upgraded aka 2 R class and 1 normal mining = 2 in 3 chance of upgraded R class mining
My 1st weapon I attache to my ships is a torpedo launcher they awesome and they very useful as long as you can find or buy torpedos
This game seems like it’s right up my alley, but dang does it look complicated!
But I guess if Spanj can figure it out, it can’t be THAT hard. Just messing!
you can doooo eeeeet!
Just gonna put this out there but if you plot your hyperspace jump byong your range your navigation will pick sectors to jump to to get closer
Resort depot took 3% - it shows the tax rate in the bottom left on the refine ores screen
Resort depot sounds like a massage parlour for truckers :P

yeh exodus beacons always highlight, i USUALY READ EM AND SHOT EM TO BITS
it can spit out whatever you put in so if you put an r in first then put in purifying you have a chance of getting an upgrade
Killing it bro! Whhooaahhh!
love this Spanj keep up the good work

I'm pretty surre you can scale ship more than once
Ur ship looks like a popsicle
Nice series. 👍🦘🍺
New player watching 👍
awesome bro.
Is too early to use the trade system now, that armor system u have is better early since u dont have shields yet.
Yeah. Or I was going to suggest a loot grabber range mod. Makes it easier to swipe up the loot as you move on to engage the next pirate.
Pew Pew time
Yay
Cool
Finally..😁
sell that smuggling device it's worth a crap ton and you'll never use it
You know you spelled "Scoundrel" wrong, right? :p
yep, but how many of you have noticed? hmmm. :P
@@Spanj I noticed when you did it, but commenting wasn't viable at the time and I forgot to do it after! ;)
