Raw Hydrocarbon & Helium-3 Extraction

[Jack_Henderson]

As this has quickly turned into a "report mining problems" thread, and as my posting also identifies the reason for "a field being bad" I'll throw another broken thing in:

Berryllium in T23 is borked.

I did a lot of tests that show that the rocks ...
> very often do not give you any ore (shoot rock => 0 ore gathered)
> otherwise have normal drop rates (when not hitting zero, which often happens)

=> this leads to absurd extreme values between (for 10 rocks shot with 4 mining lasers with a x3 multiplier):
> minimum hit: 0 from 10 rocks
> maximum: 126 from 10 rocks

As I have not seen this extreme spread between minimum and maximum, I assume that some values in this field (Berryl, T23) are borked. This bug (I just assume it is one) might also be responsible for some other commodities that players think of as "just bad".

You test for "hitting zero often", by mining with open trade window. If you hit a rock and zero ore appears (and you did not select another ship), you might suffer from the T23 Berryl field problem.
