Everything You need to Know - 4.1. Mining with Prospector

Welcome back, citizens! Valsim here 👋
In this Part 1 of my Star Citizen 4.1 Mining Guide, we're diving deep into the solo mining gameplay loop using the MISC Prospector—one of the most beginner-friendly and reliable mining ships in the 'verse.

With all eyes currently on the new Drake Golem, I wanted to offer a solid alternative for new and returning players looking to get started in mining. This isn't a ship review—this is a practical, hands-on mining guide based on real gameplay experience.

🚀 In This Video You’ll Learn:
✔️ What gear to bring before heading out
✔️ Best armor for solo miners & essential tools
✔️ Where to base your operations (MIC-L1, MIC-L2, HUR-L2, etc.)
✔️ How to equip your Prospector for optimal performance
✔️ Live mining tests in Aaron Halo using the HELIX I and recommended modules
✔️ How to scan, evaluate rocks, and safely extract valuable ore

🎯 Whether you're just starting out or want to improve your mining efficiency, this guide will help you avoid common beginner mistakes and start turning rocks into serious profit.

📌 Stay Tuned for Part 2:
In the next video, we’ll explore how to:
🔹 Use the ORE Terminal on the Refinery Deck
🔹 Track prices and plan with the Regolith website
🔹 Sell your refined materials for maximum aUEC
