This daily is just broke at this point.......you can mine much more Dil using the mining claims than you can ever get from doing this daily....the farmers rob everything before you can ever get to a fresh mine to mine.....this is stupid.....this whole thing needs to be a private instance so you don't have to compete against the farmers.


i will NEVER waste another Hour of my time for this BS again unless you fix this and i see it in a patch note.......this is just stupid programming...i have to wonder what you where thinking.....mining is NOT a group activity...get it yet???

    .....

    How is it broken? The "mining claims" both Special and VIP give you access to a richer seam of Dilithium which is why they produce more. They were designed that way.

    And as far as I'm aware the daily mining isn't affected by how many others are mining at the same time, its all down to how well you drive the mini game.

    Other people on the asteroid do not "Rob" you of Dilithium.

    Umm... what?

    Dilithium mining is not a competitive sport. Other people mining in your instance, or even on the same crystal formation, have no bearing on your results.

    Mining is an extremely simple minigame. For sixty seconds you try to line up a reticle on a target. The target will remain steady for a period before shifting. This period varies At Random between 3 and 8 seconds. The longer you keep the reticle on target the higher your score. Score 735 or above, and you get maximum dilithium.

    Other players mining around you Do Not Affect the code, the random interval between shifts, or the scaling dilithium reward. You can mining the same crystal with eight other people or be totally alone on the rock. It makes absolutely no difference.

    I mine a lot during the bonus event; trust me, I know how it works.

    What?

    The mining mini-games are working fine. It makes ZERO difference if there's one or fifty players all digging in the same seam, maybe you just need to concentrate on what you're doing. I get 1k dil each time I dig, 200 per seam, if I'm distracted then a little less. Basically it's working as intended.

    I love the mining mini-game! I'm a total noob with STO, but I think these little mini-games where you have to line things up are such fun and great little brain exercises....I really think if I do some every day, then it will keep my brain active and I won't get Alzheimer's when I'm old...older! :)
