Great video. Thanks! I have not mined using a ROC since it first came out. It was terrible with the ROC moving all over the place when trying to mine in the beginning. It looks to be much improved and I look forward to mining with the ROC again soon. Subbed!
Thanks for the relaxing video! I also prefer to stay in first person where I can, so personally I find it easier to line up my vehicle to drive into the ship in a straight line rather than reverse in. That way it's easy enough to drive it backwards back out in a straight line if you didn't touch the steering on the way in. It usually means I can stay in first person when driving. I've got a little setup with a wheel and pedals as well as HOTAS and IR head tracker. Great fun 🙂
There is something called a heat haze that results when ground temperatures get really hot. The heat causes visible changes in atmosphere above the ground causing distortions and apparent haze, resulting in vision to be more indistinct over distance.
Great vid as usual. May not be the most profitable per hour, but ROC mining is a solid gameplay loop, especially for new players. Easy to get started doing if you only have a starter ship. You can do a couple of box missions (or really any starter missions) to get the credits to buy the Pembroke Armor, and rent a ROC and a Cutty Black to carry it.
I have not tried it with that ship yet, but it seems it is too big, compared to the Nomad, to easily find a landing spot where your ramp touches the ground. The only down side the Nomad has with the ROC is that you can't access the ROC storage when it is all the way up the ramp. Your style is very pleasant and this sort of video format really is well done for kind of communicating the feel of doing a whole run.
I remember when ROC mining was much more prone to pirate attack, thanks to the radar "ping" being visible in a huge radius. Those were good times. Everyone should give ROC mining a try. It can be very enjoyable.
@@Farrister Oh absolutely! I just learned to keep one eye on the charging gauge, one eye on the radar for incoming ships, and one eye on global chat for announcements.
Thanks for the videos mate, I've heard a lot of bad things about this game, and have had my own biases against it, but watching you videos, seeing how the game looks and feels, I'm giving it a shot. I also appreciate how you don't edit bugs out, if there's an issue with the game, you show it honestly. Honestly, I am starting to think the people with an issue of the game have an issue because they brought the game for what it could be, nor for what it is. And I personally, am getting for what it is
@@Farrister I come from Elite Dangerous, so I am decently forgiving of bugs. I had to attempt to install the game (Star Citizen that is) 6 times so I've already been decently prepped for the kind of chaos I'm in for
Will be interesting to see what CIG does when 3.24 drops and we loose internal ship storage. No more transferring from Roc to ship and will we need to transfer each gem 1 by 1 into a cargo elevator…. Don’t think they have considered the effect on this loop which I still do now and then because it’s fun.
It does matter, next time, please request permission to 'land' at the the platinum Bay Pad, park it/store it. Show consideration for other Pilots coming to that outpost!! Too many abandoned ships and vehicles scattered around local LZ's Farrister!!
You know you can activate & then deactivate the army to lower it? Also the ignition point of wood (Ash) is 350C. Thats the lowest of common trees. I loved my C1 BUT......... Undocking is very bouncy
Very nice,haven’t Roc mined since it came out, did not know you could transfer the load to your ship this opens up group outings if everyone got on say a H2,is there any issues with combining everyone’s load and then selling it at one time and then dividing the profit?I know there were issues with cargo and ships that were borrowed from other players and the loads not being recognized theirs or stolen.great video, thank you, Also places I frequently visit like cargo runs,I spawn a Ursa medical to that location park it right next to the commodity trader and leave its rear ramp door down so everyone can use to top off their health and rehydrate as well as heal.Same with my Pieces C8R,take care everyone and hope to see you in the Verse.
Many smaller rocks isn't latency related. It's more workload for the CPU/GPU. If you experience lag or latency that might happen as a cause of the increased workload. But to be honest, a couple of rocks shouldn't matter all that much. All the extra's could load up the work for the server... and a slow responding server is lag/latency.
You don't go into scanning mode when searching for gems? After you get a signal you increase the PIERC and if you can get a pin to populate and if it's only a single pin, more than likely you have a gem deposit.
Hi Farrister, thanks again for a nice video. One question for you: I borrowed a ROC the other day and wanted to sell the gems on Everus Harbour. I could only sell three gems at a time! I tried (unsuccessfully) for several days. Why does it work for you to sell everything at once?
Every time I start roc mining, the laser power lags to the point where I can’t see if I’m over shooting the power, then the rock explodes destroying my roc and parts of my nomad, just wondering if it’s just me
The short claim timer on most vehicles and some small ships (85x) is truly something I appreciate a loooooooooooot in a game so keen of wasting my time running errands !
profitable as roc minign is, i got bored of it becuase the extraction on the ROC miner is so bad. Idk how they coded it but i swear the thing jsut REFUSED to pick up rocks sometimes
Hell yes, something relaxing to watch while I progress towards my domination victory in Civ 6.
Thanks mate!
I hope you are co-opping well with Mrs T!!
@@Farrister these AI stand no chance
We continue to march forward. Good watch!

I'm always amazed at how many ships he has readily available XD I only have 3 XD
"Readily available" xD

1P unity!
Heck yeah. Some Star Citizen ASMR in the background to finish my day. I haven't taken my own ROC out in ages. Need to fix that.
I tried it twice a couple of weeks ago, both times the ROC was broken. Looking forward to try again in 3.24

Dang that sounds scary XD

You mentioned the special conditions that prevail on Aberdeen. I shall assume you are suitably attired.
Suitably
More like this, please.
Will do!
It does matter, next time, please request permission to 'land' at the the platinum Bay Pad, park it/store it. Show consideration for other Pilots coming to that outpost!! Too many abandoned ships and vehicles scattered around local LZ's Farrister!!
Duly noted!
Pollution Particulate suspended in the atmosphere perhaps?
Yes, probably!
Nice video. Is there a reason that you reverse on to the ship vs driving in? I've always driven in and reversed out.
I think it's just an old habit!
You know you can activate & then deactivate the army to lower it?

No, I usually don't bother! I pretty much fly to every node I find
Now that we are in 3.24, the vehicle storage is no longer available. How do you sell from the ROC currently?

I'm not sure, but sometimes that happens to me too! Very annoying when it does

Can you empty you roc by moving whole ore to C1 spirit and continue mining until C1 is full ?
The short claim timer on most vehicles and some small ships (85x) is truly something I appreciate a loooooooooooot in a game so keen of wasting my time running errands !
Not a game an alpha. your here to test if errands work & can be used to profit ingame
Did you manage to bring the rock a bit closer to the ROC? 🤡🥁
I see what you did there...
