While it's nice, it also invalidates every other mineable other than quant, because they just aren't worth the time to break and sort through the inert rocks. CIG needs to let us just "scrape" the surface of the asteroids to get at the basics like aluminum. Similar to the scraping that the salvage ship does.

@@gbreuil1 I doubt it. Quant is worth 88 UEC/unit refined. Aluminum is worth 1.3/unit refined.

The next best mineral to Quant is bexalite, and it is literally only half as profitable at 44/unit refined.

When they ‘enhanced’ scannning so you had to get within about 500m of a rock just to identify it, I stopped mining back in 3.17. Nerfing quantanium out in the belt also ruined one of my favourite peaceful pass times in the game, so I’m very much hoping that this change makes mining enjoyable again. I haven’t touched it really in about a year due to this. Thanks for the excellent guide on this change LoudGuns!

Did a bit of testing. I use a trackir to look around and the scanning hud follows that view. The actual scan centers on the crosshair, not the scanning hud though. You have to move the whole ship and not just look at the target to scan. Scanning the mineral content of an asteroid requires a bit more than 75% signal strength. It's probably 75.5%, but the hud doesn't show decimals for signal strength. Let's call it 76% and above signal strength to get the mineral content.

I LOVE the little micro-jump technique. That was my solution to beat the 'unscannable' asteroid bug in 3.17, i would land in my favorite thick band of asteroids and set course for my home staton. Then i begin scanning for the rocks in a 12km radius. If i run into nothing that looks favorable or too many unscannable rocks - i microjump 2 seconds toward home and that totally resets the asteroid field and a new shot at a jackpot cluster of quantanium in easy reach, with each microjump.

FYI on Lyria, 3400 isnt a guarantee of quant anymore. I always do a focused scan after to see the spacing of the signatures to tell. If they're decently close together, its probably quant, but if its decently spaced, say over 300m or so, it's likely the two signals of obsidian or granite merged at long distance.

Thanks for the video. Very interesting and informative, as ever. I only recently took up Star Citizen, under the current live release, and I tried Quant mining in the halo in a Prospector, but found it to be so very hit & miss, with lots more miss than hit. Based on your video, this doesn't seem to be any different in 3.18, even with the different scanning method. Others have said that Quant mining in the halo is more lucrative than Hadanite mining, but I could never got anywhere near the amounts that some KZitemrs reckoned they got. Ages spent travelling around scanning the supposedly good areas in the middle of the halo for Q type rocks, finding very little if anything worth cracking, using short QT jumps between areas as you do to rinse and repeat. Noting down the distance to each asteroid so I don't keep scanning the same ones each time. Overall, so very frustrating, and requiring me to put aside quite a long time aside for it IRL each time. My experience is that Hadanite mining is actually a more reliable way of earning aUEC. On Daymar or Aberdeen. When starting out, hiring a Cutty Black and ROC, then buying a Nomad and ROC. Much smaller rewards from each ROC haul, granted (220K aUEC max each haul), but in my experience it added up to more than I ever managed to get in the same time trying to find & mine Quant. Instant rewards selling Hadanite on the moon you got it from, or at the local space station (less chance of being ganked), no time spent waiting for it to be refined, and no time spent transporting it in a hired ship (or expensive purchased transport ship) to a planet to sell. A bit more fun IMHO flying low over the planet than searching in the halo (although like most grinds, even that can get boring after a while). Once 3.18 goes live I expect I won't bother to work my way up to a Prospector, unless CIG significantly increase the probability of finding worthwhile Quant rocks in the halo. I intend to stick to Hadanite & to get better at PVE combat to work my way up to the better paying VHRT combat missions, to earn aUEC.

It only works and appear on the left overview window when you're at about 3500 meters from the rock which sucks.
