Auto Mining away from Argon Prime
Hi guys I currently have 1 M Size Miner Mining Ore in Argon Prime. I have saved up enough credits to get a second Miner but am not sure where to deploy the 2nd Miner. I know there is a Silicon Refinery in Teladi Sector, but will they get attack by Hostiles like Pirates or Xenon since I am only Neutral with them?

I personally think I should just set up my 2nd Miner in Argon Prime and mine ore, but not sure about 3rd or 4th Miner. Need some help deciding what to do, please advice thanks.

I have 4 M class ships mining in Argon Prime and they travel to other Argon sectors to sell or mine as well (use your satelites and resource detectors satelites). Also, Silcon seems more profitable then Ore but I still have one Ore miner of the four (other three are mining Silcon).

I also have an M class mining in Teladi sector as the ore seems richer there.

I only know of 1 other Silicon Refiney and it seems to be in Teladi Space? Any one know of any in Argon Space?

There is one as I sell to it frequently per my logs...just don't recall the name now as I am not in game. Trying searching some of the ajoining sectors (or even more of Argon Prime).

@Hakgova, sorry to trouble you. It would be great if you could tell me the sector, I spend 2 hours searching around but still either too noob or not smart or unlucky never see any Silicon Refinery near Argon Prime.

Never mind, found the Argon Federation Silicon Refinery, it is at Second Contact North East side.

Ok so if I want to start Auto Mining Silicon at Second Contact, all I got to do is this?

1. Get 1 M sized Drill Miner, then select it in Map Mode.
2. Use the Map, right click at the desired Asteroid Field in Second Contact then select Fly To Command and click to select the Asteroid field.
3. Then Set it to Auto Mine and select Wares Silicon once the Miner reaches Second Contact Asteroid Field/
4. Profit?

Is this right? I placed a Satellite at the Argon Silicon Refinery.

Silicon is much more profitable, try go for that if you can, also i never had my mining ships attacked by pirates, only trading ships.

But did I get the steps to mine away from Argon Prime Correct?

1. Get 1 M sized Drill Miner, then select it in Map Mode.

3. Then Set it to Auto Mine and select Wares Silicon once the Miner reaches Second Contact Asteroid Field/
