Gold Rush – Starting out

I think the installation went ok.

I do the load out, remembering to buy flairs, mining charges and a mining laser. I get a tip or buy a scan, and hire ‘roid driod. BTW if I save after buying the droid I lose it after reload the game.

The a set off to the field fire my flair and nothing is found, I try another field and keep going until I run out of flairs, but I never find any minable ‘roids. Also my droid doesn’t follow me into LDS. I have to dock with it and tow it, which messes up the flitters CofG and rotational inertia enough to give the autopilot a headache.

Having used all my flairs, I decide to try out my mining charges but they dont break up the ‘roids. When I run out of mining charges, I try ramming the ‘roids. Which does not break them even if I use LDS for more speed in fact I quite often pop straight through them at >1000m/s.

I am getting a little disheartened can Eric or anyone help?
