My name is Coston.Prime and for quit some time I have been mining and have only just recently switched to tradeing. To cut a long story short I would like to work for your company. I have been saveing my hard earned money in order to buy an IMG gunboat. This ship would not only fit into your faction greatly but also because I would like to provide security to your company. I am a freelancer so by haveing an IMG gunboat I will not hinder your mining effort. Because I am a freelancer I can go near the BMM, if they are previously contacted (ie: over comms). I have a friend called Joseph McKryzen whom I now you have met, and he has okayed my plan. I would hope that his judgement is enough and if you would like to meet me I would be glad to meet you either in space or here.
//To those of you reading this message seeing that you will have a long one-way trip to Honshu from Pennsylvania,
(if you choose to work for us as a super transport)
we are looking into things the Kusarinese would sell on the cheap,
where Liberty will buy for good money on your way back to pick up more Helium.
To the Office of Joseph McKryzen;
I have just learned in some research that my Helium mining operation remains in a very high profit position...
Osaka Storage Facility in the Honshu system, Kusari House Space will buy Helium for 1450$ per Tonne.
This is a LONG haul...
Pennsylvania -> New York -> Colorado -> Kepler/Galileo(choice) -> Shikoku -> New Tokyo -> Honshu
-> New Tokyo -> Shikoku -> Kepler/Galileo(choice) -> Colorado -> New York -> Pennsylvania
but at ~~DOUBLED profits, and exactly how far away it is, we could begin hiring SUPER TRANSPORT Convoys to haul 5000 Tonnes per trip.
And have more Helium ready for them when they get back.
Our mining ship, especially if we could get two of them actively mining at a time...
Could fill up with the standard 2750 Tonnes, and sit in the field mining more helium and compacting it into containment fields.
// Drop all 2750 units, use tractor to mash all the smaller chunks of Helium into a couple much larger loot drops, whilst pulling back in your original 2750 units.
These containment fields are not known for being self-contained...
and so if there is an Ionstorm, they will be disrupted during the loss of power on the Mining ships.
Also the containment fields draw power from the mining ship, so once you have them free-floating near the ship,
do not move the ship or they will lose power and the contained helium will dissipate back into the field.
Perhaps we could implement an alternating system to mine all the helium, and supply 5000 Tonnes to a Super Transport convoy to take to Osaka in Honshu System.
While still supplying smaller loads for the lesser transports to sell on Philadelphia Station locally...
So Freighters will haul between 225 to 630 Tonnes per trip to Philadelphia Station
UPDATE!: Allenmore Base the Junkers Base in Pennsylvania System,
(will find the coordinates again when I can) buys Helium for 750$ per Tonne,
so the smaller transports can fetch an additional 50$ per Tonne if they wish to fly what if memory serves me well,
is going to be an additional 20 to 25 kilometers on cruise speed (no lanes)
(not sure exactly how far away the base is, but I've seen it occasionally, and heard it mentioned, and the additional time it takes to fly there for the additional 50$ per tonne could make us able to mine more helium in-between shipments.)
Calculations are as follows:
157,500$ for a load of 225 Helium to Philadelphia (Rhino Freighter)
472,500$ for a load of 630 Helium to Allenmore Base (Camara Freighter)
7,250,000$ for a load of 5000 Helium to Osaka Storage Facility (any Super Transport [except bretonian Train, KNF/KSP wouldn't tolerate those due to the war.] )
Miner's claim:
300$/Tonne @ Philadelphia Station
320$/Tonne @ Allenmore Base
650$/Tonne @ Osaka Storage Facility.
Hauler's Pay:
400$/Tonne @ Philadelphia Station
430$/Tonne @ Allenmore Base
800$/Tonne @ Osaka Storage Facility.
Miners get:
67,500$ from a Rhino @ Philadelphia
201,600$ from a Camara @ Allenmore
3,250,000$ from a Super Transport @ Osaka
Haulers get:
90,000$ as a Rhino @ Philadelphia
270,900$ as a Camara @ Allenmore
4,000,000$ as a Super Transport @ Osaka
We will try to avoid employing other sizes of Transport for the sake of consistency,
and the amount of calculations we work with to make these numbers.
Also, we are trying to help everyone make as much money as possible (ourselves included).
We are, however constantly seeking new sites and opportunities to expand our mining company.
Scanning known space for bases that pay higher than Osaka (if there are any)
Possibly new mining sites that would be worth more than Helium altogether...
//I am working on running from top-left down to bottom-right in Datastorm scanning EVERY base for commodity buy prices.
//Eventually I will find the base (should one exist) that has the absolute maximum pricing for Helium.
//(Unless of course that base is Osaka Storage Facility, but you never know until you look)
