Mining is one of the core gameplay mechanics of many space sims, and Star Citizen is no exception to this. As one of the main fleshed out systems in the Alpha so far, those with lots of friends (and a few hundred dollars) can team up in an ARGO Mole to mine in bulk and enjoy the potential riches. However, those like myself who travel the stars as a lone wolf, still have the option of the cheaper single-seater MISC Prospector.
A bit more rugged than the larger, more spacious ships I typically favour – here I am travelling across the stars in search of new deposits of ore to mine.

Take That (In-Game) Snap Daily Photo is an off-shoot of the upcoming Take That (In-Game) Snap article series, which looks at, celebrates and critiques how video game developers have implemented professional photography-like systems into their games, how the systems handle, just how accessible they are and, where applicable, how a modding community might be making these tools even better. With this Daily Photo spin-off series, I will be sharing individual photos from the games either covered or soon-to-be-covered in the series.
