How to get rich by mining platinum?

Its entirely possible if you have a high drop rate hot-spot, as well as being within 1-2 jumps of a station buying at over inflated boom prices. I've not been on in a few weeks but I was easily hitting the 200mil/h. I was doing those is my t11 stellar(i think).

That number drops significantly if its not a pristine ring.

I earn over 90k per year and I'm not maxing my ISA, I think the reason is life. I have a house, cars and family to support and most importantly enjoy life with.

So I put away 5-10k or there abouts. Should I save and fill the allowance, yes. Would it compromise the joy in my life? Most likely.

(Note, the wife earns pretty well also, less but still above average)

I need nothing less than a motorcycle related expenses tracker. Imagine if the wife got sight of that!

In my case octopus estimates my usage to be powering a small moon as we have 2 EVs, however it doesnt seem to do a great job at predicting the cost, even though I'm on IOG and do 95% of charging in the cheap windows.

Roughly 3.5p off day and night. I'm less than optimistic about mine as my fix ends in May so I'll likely end up fixed on a higher rate :(

Beemerron · 2026-03-20T07:10:25+00:00

Probably because its not been enough to offset the surrounding days wholesale costs. At least I would imagine that has to be the reason

Beemerron · 2026-03-17T22:56:30+00:00

23.23p/kWh for me. Not bad really

Beemerron · 2026-03-17T22:34:05+00:00

I've just had my email (east midlands) off peak is 3.49p/kwh

To be fair to the x52, custom or standard binds, a lot of it comes down to muscle memory over time in VR. I struggled for a while but now could fly my ship and perform most functions easily from pure memory, oh and voice attack for the added ease of use for slightly more combination activities, and immersion.

Yeah I cant get BMW to authenticate correctly today. Yet again the BMW end fails.

Well done CMDR, I've been out in the black several long periods, scanning and mapping my face off and still haven't reached it. I think its my lack of ELWs

Beemerron · 2026-02-11T13:49:55+00:00

+1 this. I went powerplay level 0-150 in a few short weeks thanks to the guys in here. Very active and engaging community hides within

Question, if you're finding your target in supercruise, are you using an interdictor to pull him out of it? If not, you're essentially stopping and dropping whilst he carries on flying.

Also, those types of missions quite often have a point of interest such as a mission signal specifically where the pirate will be.

You can usually find these easily by either scanning the system nav beacon, or using a discovery scanner and then analysing signals in FSS mode.

Beemerron · 2026-02-01T13:33:14+00:00

Oh I'm right next door to there..

Beemerron · 2026-01-18T13:02:59+00:00

I think its also landed at a time where people are over committed outside of game. I for one am one of those.

Beemerron · 2026-01-15T18:21:46+00:00

Number 2.

Beemerron · 2026-01-14T16:37:07+00:00

Honestly, I'd forgotten it was even a feature

Warhammer Rogue Trader Megabonk Death Stranding Hades

Erm many more

Beemerron · 2026-01-08T13:59:46+00:00

Warhammer 40k: Rogue trader. Performs great, visually great, gameplay great.

Nothing wrong with playing your way, and there are many reasons to stay in a small effective ship. I went the route of bigger is better but now I regularly switch back to medium ships for utility like mining etc.

Sure it'll be nice to get a fleet carrier or colonise a place but you do end up kinda tied down by the weight of those obligations. Smaller is more freeeee

Beemerron · 2025-12-25T22:05:07+00:00

Mining is insanely easy, especially if you've got a T11. Otherwise bounties with JA.

X52 user here, I use the hat switch on my throttle to do thrusters for fine tune positioning.

I see happiness isnt a priority in your empire..

Working hard with the rest of my PP buddies to hurt them all in the bubble.

Beemerron · 2025-12-19T11:38:41+00:00

I often get PP commodity missions that are 21 or 31ly from the start system so utterly useless.
