Mining Seems Terrible Again, What Can Be Done?

I have never liked mining.  Okay, that is a lie.  Every game, I liked mining for the first 3 or 4 times I did it.  Then I hated it and that hate would build and build to the point where I basically s...

Sorry if this has already been posted:

I agree that the mining is a bit ... ugh.. at times. What I have noticed is that you can unlock RESOURCE pods as the game progress. One of those pods is a resource gathering pod. They give you a hefty amount of return every hour or so. This is one way you can avoid mining. And it is unlockable very early.

Hope this helps.

Yes, it's one of the cryo pods, but I think the problem is having to go back to collect the bonuses all the time. Delivered every 45 minutes? I just spent 12 hours of game time clearing all quests on 'New Tchunka' without visitng the Tempest. Delivered once per day, or simply to the Nexus, of which some use can be made by the Pathfinder, is imo a better option.

If I want to play 'collect 12 of this or gather 20 of that' I'll start a new WoW account with Blizzard. It really breaks the story to have the Pathfinder have to manually press the button to collect stuff. Doesn't he have a crew?

      A thousand times this.  It's like what am I paying these people for if they aren't going to do anything.  And I know I'm not paying them but still.

      But to be able to simply scout mining areas and then have the drones collect it for you or a mining outpost sets up there.  Or anything that doesn't involve me trying to position the Nomad in the exact perfect spot.
