Group mining is mining involving more than one player. The point is generally to improve efficiency, or enable mining in dangerous sectors. There are many different tactics of group mining. Here is a basic list of some group activities that are known to exist.
- #Unarmed Miner, Transporter:\\ <br>One person mines, another transports. This improves efficiency over single person mining, since the beam is 'always on' and time is not wasted transporting. Works in safer places. Broma-ba Slick showed me this.\\ \\ - #Unarmed Miners / Bot-dragging Escorts:\\ <br>This takes advantage of the fact that bots will 'swarm' after you if you shoot them even once. The escort thus drags the bots away from the mining area. bsp showed me this. Works with high-level bots.\\ \\ - #Unarmed Miners / Scout / Escorts:\\ <br>A scout can scout for the valuable asteroids, while escorts take care of the low-level bots. Solra Bizna showed me this.\\ \\ - #Unarmed miner / Armed scout-escort:\\ <br>One player does both scouting and escorting. Miner follows closely behind. Works with low-level bots.\\ \\ - #Armed miners:\\ <br>Miners who carry their own weapons. Works against low-level bots.
