A couple of (perhaps dumb) questions about mining for LTDs at Borann
I’ve got the ship (AspX) and the kit. I can find and extract the bling. I’m transferring 32T at a time to me Cobra to sell somewhere at a decent price in case I need to fight for it as the Asp is too slow and is unarmed.
I wait before I start for any pirates to scan me and move on.
I still seem to be coming across other ships though. IN the last two hours, I’ve seen another miner laser mining in the far distance, a Search and Rescue Anaconda that constantly circled me for twenty minutes and a wing of two Asps that were circling round but left me alone. I don’t think they could see me because I was inside an exploded core and was too cold for their scanners. Can extended super cold periods damage the ship?
Twice though, I’ve been attacked by NPC pirates as soon as I left the ring, got away once because I had already started my FSD and jumped before my hull got to zero. Second time I got melted as soon as I started to run. Both times I had been AFK for a while (for a phone call and then dinner] and it had jumped me slightly out of the ring. Is this normal?
I thought it was a mostly solitary pursuit.
Bought a Python now but need to kit it out.
