With the recent update we were introduced with a mining ship and a different mining system. Since many players are interested in mining and how it works now, together with the developers as happy backers, we’ve decided to bring up a contest that would help anyone learn the mining process and reward those that share their knowledge and experience in the best possible way, with a guide contest.

And then post the link of the guide in

The guide must be created by you specifically for the competition and must not violate the
[rules of the forum](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/33781-forum-rules/)

Loki is rank12 so it does not fall into the category.
Well, didnt know what you meant with rank25 ships.

Well, it was an obvious typo 
if you want to mine asteroid fast j recomend heating it up for 4 hit markers(5 is risky but a little faster) (the x that shows up in the middle of the screen when you hit something) if you are using projectile weapons j recomend fast shooting ones if lasers (like me) any will do and when you heat asteroid up just shoot about one evry 0.5-1 second, you should see a slight pulsating of asteroid brightness.if you are new to the mining you should slowly heat up asteroid and whan it beggins cooling down (slight decrease in brightness) shoot it and heat it up and repeat untill asteroid breaks and give you the sweet loot. as to the ships, j personaly use fighter and j recomend them. becouse top speed is preety good and cargo ist that bad j dont recomend interceptors (high speed but very small cargo, destroyers huge cargo but painfully slow ) if you want to use frigates that is your choice. if build for speed it is preety good becouse of it’s big cargo. As for locations. j recomend irydium mines in ONTREGOS and PB-42 in sector VIOR (wasnt there but j heared there ia a lot of asteroids) if you want some more info that j missed feel free to respond to this coment.
Now that the contest is over let’s announce the winners:
1st place Boczek121
2nd place AsHe5123
3rd place icechocola
The winner of the Th’ak’len 11-17 gun this time around is Boczek121, happy hunting!
Please pm me your ingame name on which you want to receive the rewards!
