Second CMDR Mining LTD Story PMC Elite Dangerous

Second CMDR Mining Low Temperature Diamonds Story for Elite Dangerous, how to clear save, go from 1000 credits to a Fleet Carrier and beyond.

2020-06-15

2020-06-15T0220 was dead tired after playing all this time. Did some sub surface deposit mining, latest sell was 300 million something, final credit balance 685 million heh.

2020-06-15 Woke up and straight to mining. Did first 224t load of LTDs very easily. It was done 1005hrs.

2020-06-15T11:01:17Z sold my first load 211t and budget now 927.3m

2020-06-15T11:27:15Z arrived second time to the ring, fired first prospector limpet.

2020-06-15T12:17:23Z cargo hold full, refinery bins full. HOOYAH!

We have new best selling station Lu Pao/Swift Vision. Not sure what happened to the previous LHS 154a/Fung Station best sell, guess there was some daily background simulation tick, dunno. I'm using TradeDangerous to get LTD market prices.

2020-06-15T12:43:57Z arrived at Lu Pao system and docked, sold 224t LTDs for 385.3m, budget now 1.312 billion! Smiley :)

2020-06-15T12:50:00Z docked at Endar Spire, CMDR RevanUST's carrier, its departing to LTD ring in 1300hrs.

2020-06-15T14:05:19Z cargo hold at 220t of LTDs, lets go find a ride for us Smiley :)

Didn't find a carrier right away so took a short lunch break and shut elite down.

2020-06-15T14:55:57Z elite back up, lets find that carrier...

2020-06-15T15:44:00Z docked at Feyonman L00-G8L, finally found a carrier scheduled to go Lu Pao system.

2020-06-15T15:55:56Z Docked at Lu Pao/Swift Vision. Sold 220t of LTDs for 378.4m, budget now 1.691 billion.

2020-06-15T16:10:42Z Docked at HR 6421/Serebrov Terminal.

2020-06-15 Upgrade To Lakon Type-9 HEAVY

2020-06-15T16:12:11Z purchased Lakon Type-9 Heavy. Started to outfit it for sub surface deposit mining. edsy.org Lakon Type-9 Heavy Sub Surface Deposit Mining Specifications.

2020-06-15T16:28:28Z departed towards LTD mining system. Arrived and docked to one of the fleet carriers to purchase limpets.

2020-06-15T16:58:47Z arrived to LTD ring, started prospecting... this will take a while Smiley ;)

2020-06-15T17:55:41Z had 227t of LTDs in cargo, so took considerably longer than in type-7.

2020-06-15T18:36:24Z ran out of sub surface deposit missiles Smiley :(

Got 409t of LTDs before the missiles ran out, still 213 limpets left so I could have gone much longer mining if I had basic mining lasers.

Checked TradeDangerous LTD best sell locations which were:

2020-06-15T18:48:59Z Docked at Col 285 Sector GI-I a39-3/L30-J8Z. Shes going to Lu Pao. Not sure what kind of prices do I get from 409t load but lets hope its good.

2020-06-15T19:11:38Z Docked at Lu Pao/Swift Vision. Sold 409t LTDs for 701.8m, credits now 2.204 billion.

2020-06-15T19:36:39Z Shut down elite for lunch break Smiley :)

2020-06-15T19:52:37Z Lunch break over, elite back up and we are ready to get back to work.

Went to outfit better missile launchers, new outfitting for Lakon Type-9 sub surface deposit mining.

2020-06-15T20:22:17Z Dropped into LTD ring, mining continues, is this our third trip today? Now with more sub surface deposit missiles yehaaw.

2020-06-15T21:23:38Z Had already 246t of LTDs.

2020-06-15T23:10:10Z cargo hold full 640t, we're done here Smiley :)

2020-06-15T23:27:49Z Docked at Col 285 Sector CC-K a38-5/W70-Q8H.

When docked at this carrier I felt quite exhausted, it was intensive mining session and it already has been a long day today. Felt exhausted but good, very happy that I got 640t of LTDs plus 8 or so in the refinery hoppers.

2020-06-15T23:52:48Z Docked at Lu Pao/Swift Vision. Sold 640t of LTDs for 966.6m, then refinery hoppers produced 7t more, sold them for 10.5m, credits now 3.181 billion.
