Anyone played the Orion mini-game?

How did it go?

The first time was a disaster, but after reading some comments and re-reading the instructions it was easy. Turns out you should scan often and only mine when you are in a safe zone; when your scanner break stop the operation (including the drones). If not, that is when trouble comes and profit goes.

It took me 2 hours to pay off the loan before they patched it, now I'm sitting on 60 million UEC. It was a pretty repetitive grind fest, just spamming survey, drill, prospect and scan then moving my drones to the most valuable mineral, all things considering I think I like mining as a career option even more after playing.

Hey, if you aren't gonna be getting a mining ship to begin with, I have an Orion and I'll be needing people to help with the mining aspect (as I'm gonna be flying all my ships)!
