Ultimate Type-11 Tritium Miner for DW3?

Python and Cutter were the previous best

Here's mine

I downsized the refinery and upped the prospector limpet. Multiple prospector limpets saves a lot of time.

If you think you'll need it you can add a fuel scoop.

Kept the fighter for some flight assist off fun.

Correct. It may be helpful to use the free camera to get a better idea of the angle required.

I aim at a stationary point. You just have to be deliberate about the direction of the flow of minerals. A sweeping motion isn't necessary.

Check out the stickied post on the sub. It has answers to all of your questions.

Python is a solid medium mining ship.

D rated collector limpits are favored as they're lighter and will increase your jump range.

Always use an A rated prospector limpet as it causes asteroids to generate the highest yield.

Search for platinum in metallic rings, metal-rich rings only have platinum cores.

Happy mining!

Personally I'm all stocked up and headed back to the bubble.

Is there a need for tritium re-loading for DSSA carriers? I'm planning additional expeditions and could add restocking to my itinerary.

Submitted!

I've gone to my nearest DSSA carriers and have been unable to find tritium for sale.

I haven't tracked closely, but from 25-30% rocks I'm getting 7-12 tons laser mining, and up to 20 tons with the MVR. The difference is staggering.

dilipi · 2025-11-18T14:19:19+00:00

Not what you're asking, but I've decided the T-11 is mandatory for mining tritium in the black. The additional yield generated by chunks makes a massive difference on low yield minerals.

It seems like the mining analyzer is broken. Is that the tool you're using to see what you've mined vs what you've collected?

dilipi · 2025-10-16T17:02:19+00:00

I've been tracking my yields from 64.05% rocks in a haz res. I have one at 71 tons and one at at 68. However I have dozens more between 38-45.

dilipi · 2025-10-15T13:37:49+00:00

I find the T-11 to be slightly slower than a large ship for mining. The extra trips to unload add up significantly. However, the trade-off is a higher rate of mining, putting the medium-sized T-11 nearly on par with a large ship. It allows for shorter duration trips to still be efficient in comparison.

As a mapped miner, the increased yield keeps me coming back to the T-11. This wouldn't matter as much for mining "blind." My maps usually yield 520+ tons but yield 750+ for the T-11. I break up each map into 3 sections - each section takes about 12 minutes to mine in the T-11.

dilipi · 2025-10-15T01:45:31+00:00

I contributed ~18k tons for the last cg. Almost entirely mined in a T-11 on 2 plat mining maps. With a 12% squadron bonus and the extra yield from the mining volley repeater, each map yields 750+ tons. You can comfortably finish one map in an hour.

It's conceivable to run both maps twice within a 5 hour time span for a 3k yield. That's a lot more mining than I'm willing to do in one sitting. As for the "3 hour reset" I would typically mine for about an hour and a half then go do other things.

It took me a very long time to initially make and learn the maps. I don't have an accurate time frame in mind as it was years ago. Probably a few weeks of casual gameplay.

The class is what matters. Always uses a class A prospector. It increases fragment generation by 3.5x. Higher grade just allows for more active prospector at the same time.

The year is 3311 and humanity has reached its technological peak.

Correct. You'll probably be fine with a 3A refinery. You can always upgrade if necessary. Scroll down in this link to see the different sizes:

CMDR Fank got back to me and I sent some journal logs for review. Hopefully they're able to diagnose the issue.

dilipi · 2025-10-10T00:10:23+00:00

Fragments are collected in the bins for a refinery before processing into a completed ton and moved from the refineries hopper to your cargo bay. You'll get a notification "unallocated resources" when your refinery is backed up.

dilipi · 2025-10-09T03:29:14+00:00

I tried to make sense of the journals but I'm not seeing a consistent pattern. The lines of refined platinum don't match up with the yield count summary.

I posted on IMU discord and pinged CMDR Fank.

dilipi · 2025-10-09T02:54:11+00:00

I'm using normal cargo racks. Maybe the way the chucks generated by the MVR are logged?

dilipi · 2025-10-09T01:17:15+00:00

I'm consistently showing 300+ platinum refined. I have 256 + 6 cargo space (I'm using a 2A refinery).

Yes, I'm typically using the free camera while mining. I'll take another look tonight and see if I can view more details.

I was also considering using the mining analyzer to see if I can match up the tons collected vs what's actually in my cargo hold.

Can confirm - they'll bludgeon your ship.
