News: The Prospector Mining Ship

I'm sorry, what? Either the Prospector’s scale is totally misrepresented due to a bad photo angle, or someone seriously messed up the spatial awareness of how size and passenger capacity should align. There’s no way it should hold the same number of people as the blatantly evident much larger Privateer
it is just a bit crowdy , wear armor, some perv miners are in mankini


the wheels on the (Space bus) go round and round
the laser on the (space) bus go zap and zap
 
Now we need good Spaceship names to share with the 10 so there are no missed opportunities!
 
Sorry ... I just had to :( The urge was bigger than me. When you see it, you can't unsee it ...

(I do think it looks kind of cute ... )

Me I get "Reaver" vibes from TV series/movie Firefly/Serenity when I see it...

 
Hrmmm if I had to name one it be: either Rock Gobbler or Geophysical Disturbance. nom NOM!
 
"johny sins" penatrating asteroids
 
The naming of the new prospector ships reminds me of this video from Viva La Dirt League:
😁
Love them! They are so incredibly funny and spot on 😁
 
Will smaller ships like Quads be able to attach mining lasers?

Ahh that's good. I was a bit suss it was only going to be for the high rollers with fancie ships.
So this means I will be able to get a mining laser for my (L) Quadwing?

Yes, you’ll be able to mine with all ships, and we’re just double-checking the Firebird version to ensure everything works perfectly :)
 
how many hardpoints for mining will privateers and motherships get ?
Motherships are not thematically mining vessels so should have 0, maybe an argument could be made for 1 as a desperation or emergency thing. Privateers are more of a multiclass vessel so they might get some. But it's MA so who knows, maybe 30.
 
Well, privateers and motherships was never sold as a miningship and should therefor not get mining automaticly. Old ships should be able to mine if they crafted upgradeable parts for their ships in order to mine.

Make crafting great again!
 
Motherships and Privateers ? .... hell yeah !

Farm ores all day like boss , safe in the knowledge that the log out timer will save me and my ores long before any pesky attacker kills my buffed SI privateer \ mothership. Who cares if i flood the market with ores and devalue the crap out of the product .

:tux:

Btw ... Ship looks cool\ish .... maybe ?

privateers and mining ships were never meant to carry as much crew as motherships either yet thse mid size captal ships have the same allowance as the large size motherships
quad interceptors were never designed as mining ships but mindark officially stated that they want all ships to have mining capabilities
wether this is to give people the choice between mining and hunting (prey) or just to be equally fair doesnt really matter - as long as people have the choice to mine it wont just be 10 mining vessels with everyone else sitting in second row waiting for them to be full to loot ;p
 
As long as it’s this lootable crap it will fail hard like space has done since the beginning. They can’t seem to grasp that the majority of players hate lootable.
There's no pirate police?!? They should be taking an elevated risk to loot people that have stuff on them by accident. It should cost them dearly if they get caught like more than just carried loot. Why not make a role for that - I know a couple people who would jump on that job if it were a thing!
 
What about quads, Sleipnirs, Firebirds, those ferrari red quads.

As well as making space more fun with being able to color Privateers,Motherships, Mining Ships, Quads?
My issue was always Quads and damage doing Space mobs and either landing or breaking off to repair was a real issue, I thought..OMG this is stupid and time consuming and eventually a log out or advance to something more advantageous to use quad too.

This is my issue for Space.

I agree with this. It's quite ridiculous to hunt with quad when you can't repair before coming back to SS.
There could be at least some attachment similar to life steal, good enough to maintain HP while hunting or some other mechanic, maybe allow to do a repair for other person sitting in passenger seat might be a solution too.

It looks you dont know how to bring your "repair terminal" to hunting spot
