Greetings, Citizens of Entropia!​


I’ve decided to dedicate my Prospector back to the stars for dedicated group space mining. If you are looking to burn some PED on skills without having to stare at your screen for hours on end, this is for you. We are focusing on the TT Laser strategy for maximum efficiency and cost-effective skilling.

🛰️ The Mission​

We are looking for a consistent rotation of crew members to help clear asteroid fields. The goal is steady gains and a relaxed environment.

🛸 Roles & Requirements​

The ship seats 6 people. We are specifically looking for volunteers to fill the active roles:

  • 1x Captain: Responsible for piloting the ship and positioning us so the turrets stay in range of the target.
  • 1x First Mate: The "Shield Breaker." You’ll need an Orion (or similar high-impact laser) to tag the asteroid and apply the cracking debuff. Once the shield is down, you swap to a TT laser with the rest of us.
  • 4x Gunners: The AFK seats. Load your auto-tool, set it to the TT laser, and enjoy the skill gains.

🛡️ Safety & Rules​

I know the risks of space, and I value your time (and your loot).

  • No PVP: We will stay in non-PVP zones.
  • No Surprise Warps: There will be zero warping while crew members are AFK.
  • No Society Required: You don’t need to join my soc to participate. Everyone is welcome.

💬 How to Join​

We will be coordinating everything through the in-game channel.
Join channel: /join #ventureship

Whether you want to pilot or just park your avatar and gain some skills while you work/sleep, come say hi in the channel. Let’s go crack some rocks!
 
I’ll be in.

Do you need people at a fixed time each session?

My play time and login days is all over the place at the moment.
 
Eventually a schedule would be best yes. For now I just want a good group of captains and first mates that we can cycle shifts to keep the afk crew mining with their TT tools. It's kinda like space repair in a way, except it takes 2 to run it to make sure the afk crew can keep going.

Level 1 or level 100 your equally useful here for skilling cheap and easy using auto use tool.

I'd like to come along sometimes :) thanks for doing this!
 
This is actually pretty cool to do. Skilling AFK is really great IMO! To space mining I'm fairly new, but mining with the Quad needs constant attention. The scrap asteroids literally need aiming every 2 seconds and the C1 asteroids need a retargetting and move every minute or 2. On the Prospector setup, with a good targetter pilot, you just aim and autoshoot until your Type M limited laser miner runs out. Time for dinner or a movie - or even shopping between weapon swapouts.

So far, I'm really enjoying mining from the Prospector Venture and feel like it's a really great opportunity that Rusty is offering to us for FREE!! You should come and join us. I look forward to space mining with you - even though I might be sleeping :)
 
:) Who's coming with! You need this and we need more crew to keep the Venture going longer!
 
Crew seats still available - and more seats coming if we can find a Armament Device 4

W00T Rusty found one!

Has this been changed from when SM was introduced? I was just sitting in the quad passenger seat and no asteroids were moving. Sometimes the next asteroid had been in range when I started the first one, and it still was when the first was done.
Does this mean that quad miners cannot really sit in the passenger seat any more, or is the quote not true, or what?

I guess my ignorance could be around what is meant by scrap asteroids. Is it a class, such as M, that has the scottium? Why have I/peeps not heard of moving asteroids before, if that is what they do?

When you kill the asteroid every 5 seconds you need to move YOURSELF to a new one, the asteroids don't move. Is what he meant.

Btw we are mining in caly space, hop on chat and join us.

Oh ha - no. There's a new class of asteroid that I never knew about right at the entrance to the Howling mine. They are so small they die within 3-4 shots, hence the retargetting. it's nice that you don't have to jump in the drivers seat and can just keep retargetting = also theres a codex for them.
 
Thanks for the info updates. I'm not normally in the Caly area, but it's nice to see the team use of spaceship content.
I might check out the mini HM roids and see what variance they show. Also nice if they are quite dense and/or rapid respawn to make the activity feel a bit 'livelier' :)

We mine everywhere not just near caly :)
 
Mining near HM - don't forget to grab the daily missions from the GenStar NPCs and the Cracking daily from Howling Mine! Those missions get done sooo fast on the Prospector!
 
Ready to start the HM dailies now - coming to help? lots of seats available for this round eh!
 
I gotta update the sign now that we got 8 seats :D
 
Fresh session underway. Come join us at HM.
 
I’m on a vacation but we can start up again when we get back we just need pilots and taggers to volunteer
 
Enjoy you vacation. The roids will be there when you get back!
