Sorry for the misquote on starting money I should have checked the patch notes. I start with a bit more than the average player.

I want an Argo, RSI and or a Drake one seater miner...the Misc Prospector is nice, but we need variety.

Glad to see I wasn't crazy for mining like this in 3.22 (current public version). I mined on Arial and got a ton of gold, tarinite, bexilite, and the random quantanium rock. I have my own Prospector by doing this. One of my runs netted me a cool 600+k of credits. That was two loads in a Constellation Andromeda. I was stoked that my experience was well worth my effort. I started off using a Cutlas Black. The rent was lower and yes I had to run many trips with the CB. I still made the credits to afford my own Prospector and kit it out. I also have earned enough to buy myself a Vulture. When mining gets boring. I go run some salvage missions and turn a good profit doing that. So being a miner/salvager is working out well. My style of passive play in the most of times is relaxed. I do get the occasional pirate encounter. The only problem is. I am empty and have nothing worth stealing. Why are pirate's stupid? I guess if they had a brain. They would be able to mine for themselves and not have to steal it. I digress, it has only happened a couple times and was just annoying more than immersive. Good luck to the others who do this method. It truly is a great way to make money.
My tip is. Stick to the most valuable ore. Even if it will take you a few more minutes finding them to fill your cargo hold up. The end result is more credits in your account. My #1 targets are as follows. Bexilite, Tarinite, Gold, and then others. I will only scoop up Quantanium if it is the last thing that will fill my cargo. I don't risk it when it is the first thing I see. I want a full cargo. Yes, it may be worth more. The quantity of the others I could get verses say 700 or less of Quant. Is way more valuable in the refined form. There is the lack of a chance you will mess up and go critical. I don't like blowing up my ship. So, Quant is usually the last thing I will scoop when I find it. With waypoints coming in 3.23. We can mark these rocks now and come back to them. That will be awesome!! Looking forward to the changes and improvements are what we all are working towards. o7

Best SC Guides in the 'verse. Another amazing video. Don't forget gadgets! You can always use mining gadgets even with a rented prospector.

Love mining. Haven't hopped into it yet with 3.23. Spending all my time dogfighting, bounty hunting, etc checking and testing MM and new weapon changes. Once I get that figured I'll hop back into mining and salvage again. Nothing I love more than throwing on some music, a podcast or a good audio book and just relaxing while breaking rocks.

My progression so far:
Cutlass Black starter> ROC> Vulture> Prospector. I joined late in 3.22 and almost made enough for the Corsair after using the Vulture to buy the Prospector on the 80k scrap missions. I was only 500k away and still grinding when 3.23 dropped and I lost my vulture and 3 mill auec to the wipe. I was soo close, maybe a couple hours away from having 3-4 game loops covered. With my Vulture gone and the ROC broken the Prospector has been my saving grace for a path to prosperity despite the loop being relatively burdensome. Couldn't have made anywhere near the progress without video's like this. 👍💯

Great video man, but the starting aUEC of 3.23 is 25k (if you used a referral, ) so you’ve got some increases somewhere

[zr]

great video. Loved that crash recovery feature! It might be time to dive back in.

[Brian-WolfmanJack]

I played around with this over the weekend. Just selling raw ore can make you some good money. That will get you started, then once you get some money flowing in you can start paying to get it refined.

[JT-dqgh]

Hawkes is the GOAT. Give us a solo mole run down when you can please Hawkes…

[jondoe]

I’ve been waiting for your vids on 3.23 since it first dropped. Great to see new SC content. Thanks man!

[AidenCorvas]

Do you have somewhere the build for your “fully kitted out” prospector? Love to know what to upgrade as I own a prospector but have not used it in years.

Thanks for the great video.

[amorongaming]

i've been mining using a rental prospector since i joined the game in 3.15.. never had a problem making money with it. just need to do enough runs to make back the rental cost plus profit

[Korrack]

Love to see your videos pop up;
Your best starts are required reading.
Thanks Hawkes!

[thori]

Thank you so much for this guide! I was about to deliver my Prospector and start mining, but I didn't know how, where, what :D

[dagothshrimpgf]

Another amazing video Hawkes, been looking forward to your 3.23 coverage as you always do an amazing job. Keep up the great stuff man you're one of my favs in the SC community

[CharlesDSmith-mvzi]

Welcome Back! It would be helpful to see a tutorial on scanning in 3.23.1. It’s honestly driving me nuts m the prospector and the mole.

[halashooligans]

I've been having bad luck with bounties and merch missions since my sticks died - may try mining cause the prospector looks pretty neat.

[FlameSoulis]

I legit was just thinking about this, having purchased a Prospector prior to the money wipe.

[ghazman]

I was on Cellin last night in my Mole and found a Q rock 0f 56, 000 mass and 49% Q. I couldn't get it as I was solo, but it is good to know that God rocks are out there! :) Nice vid.
