Mission type: Mining
Space type: Normal Space
Faction: None
Recommended Ships: Hulk, Mackinaw for mining; Miasmos, Porpoise for hauling

Summary

Mine 4,200 units of Green Arisite (21,000 m³) and then return to agent.
Mission Briefing
Demand for minerals is skyrocketing. Which is good for us. More demand means more profit.

To fill that demand, though, we're having to turn to some unorthodox ores: Green Arisite, for instance. I know of a large field that's full of the stuff. If you can get it for me, I'll make sure you're reimbursed. We just may be able to make some use of it, with the right tech. Who knows?

Walkthrough

Warp to the mission site. There are two ways to do it:
  1. Standard: Preferably with a Mackinaw, mine the asteroid until all of the ore has been mined and then return to the station. Short-cycle the miners for the last ore.
  1. Jetcan: Preferably with a Hulk, drop a jetcan in space once you have your first cycle of ore. Deposit all of the mission's ore into the can, either with each cycle or when your hold is nearly full. Short-cycle the miners for the last ore. After all of the ore has been mined, return to station and switch to either a Miasmos (cheaper but slower) or a Porpoise (expensive but faster). Warp back to site, retrieve the ore, and return to station.
Turn in mission once back at station with all ore in hangar or in cargohold.

Takes approximately 14~ minutes to complete with a max skilled Hulk and two ORE Strip Miners or approximately 16~ minutes to complete with a max skilled Mackinaw and two ORE Strip Miners.

I didn't find any Veldspar when I went in (twice so far), just those fake roids.
One tip - if you waste any units by letting your hold fill up then you might be able to buy the balance via a contract to avoid the standing hit. If you pop the roid then it will not respawn after downtime. I'm not sure if it refreshes after downtime if you don't pop it though.

Also, one other point, you have to mine the whole asteroid to complete the mission. Even if you manage to get the ore from someplace else, the mission won't complete until you mine everything.

Not necessary. If you're lasers overflow the hold the ore is still in the asteroid. Bring a survey scanner and you will see.

I discovered by trying it that you can bookmark the G.A. 'roid, warp out, and then warp back to within 10km. Saves a lot of slow motoring in your barge or exhumer, plus your indy.

If you don't mine the entire roid, after reset it returns with the full 9,000 units. Mine it all and sell the excess on contracts or keep it for a future event.

New with Incursion. You are no longer able to bookmark the roid and warp back to 0. It puts you at the original warp in point every time, 45km away.
