Star Citizen 3.10 - 10 Days on MicroTech - Day6 - ROC Mining with Mobi + GiveAway

Mobi takes the ROC (Remore Ore Collector) out for a first look, and starts to gather intel on rock concentrations, mining mechanics, ground mining feasibility, ship loading, and other bits. This is a series on discovering planet-centric gameplay, exploring how much is there to do if you never leave a planetary body, MicroTech, and delve into both the science and personal experience of this experiment. This is based on information from CIG on wanting to encourage game play around a given planet or spawn area. The series will cover delivery missions, mining, trading / cargo running, and any other gameplay. Each "day" will consist of a minimum of 2 hours of game time, and may extend longer, but each day I'll explore a single activity to discover if there enough to do at a single planet.

This is a cool little series. This is my first episode, but I think I'll poke around at some of the other episodes too. Keep it up!

[RakasansLegacy]

Excellent. Love how the series flows with Mobi.

[Infrared_Wolf]

You make a good point about it being more useful on larger ships as it brings another opportunity. It might be quite useful to bring the small mining vessels on an exploration ship to mine any unique or rare minerals on an expedition and to do surface scouting.

[Sicon]

ROC definitely add another good piece of gameplay for cheap too! :D

[marcjensen]

Now that ship scanners all detect mineables I find myself lamenting the lack of surface rocks small enough to be mined with the Greycat Pyro Multi-Tool. I've found some in Yela's asteroid belt, but it would be nice if there was some more variety lying on the ground.

[jordanmiller]

Glad all ships can finally scan for mineable rocks. Makes exploration ships worth it. Or at least opens up the gameplay options for it.

[blackhawkmc]

starting to get more sold on this game everytime i see you playing it. :) looks awesome

[Prushbinger]

you forgot to mention one HUGE disadvantage of the ROC - it's not airtight, so you gotta always keep an eye out for your vitals

[jasonmckay]

I have both the ROC and the Prospector. The best (other than quantanium) run with a Prospector is 90k. I always get >200k mining Hadanite with the ROC. The ROC rocks!

[Chris]

I love this series. Thanks for showing off the ROC.

[LordKemmotar]

I really like the ROC, it is a lot of fun to mine with, and very profitable. I guess only during this patch, and CiG will reduce the number of rocks on the surface or the price of gems. Right now, at the same time, I can get triple the profit of the Prospector with the ROC.

PD: Great series, as ever!

[jonde_o]

Bought an Nomad and ROC today so now folks we have a nice small starter ship wit ability to store a ROC.... I know what i do now when IAE is still running... ROC mining on Microtech


You sir got a new sub by the way.. amazing content

[Horkruxx]

Nice video, nice idea with the 10 day run. Want to try the roc too.

[kirbysmith]

Speaking of being left behind, bet Diamato's been wishing that for 53 years.

[raelcontin]

Great job... cant wait to see the rest of the series.

[eugeneleroux]

Nice vid. Have not driven the ROC, looking forward to it.

[aven]

Just when you think they are finished with mining, they come out with the ROC.

[josephjohnson]

Liked the video. Good editing and series.

[chuckles]

Another Great video! Too bad we all cannot get a mobi in game. That would spice up things. Do you prefer the ROC over hand mining?

[ordnanceant]

Thanks for sharing the ROC looks pretty cool sadly I don't think it fits inside an Avenger. Anyone know what maximum size / mass of rock which is mineable with the FPS mining tool?
