Mining

[Agmen of Eladesor]

Dusty, was your rant something like this?

**Since, as Cannon said, mining yields can be adjusted on the server ON THE FLY, without any other actions being necessary, how about that the Admins may actually be putting some REAL RP into mining for you?

In other words - just as in real life where the gold/silver/diamond mines lasted for a while until the vein ran dry, maybe - just MAYBE - that's what is being done here?

(Especially when Cannon mentioned something about gold fields, too?)

Unlike traders - where you just get to fly from point A to point B to point C and make a certain amount of money, mining is SUPPOSED to be both a hazardous and risky proposition, with you never knowing just when and where the field is going to be, or when claim-jumpers are going to show up.

Okay, so one field was a bit off base and has been nerfed back. Fine - deal wth it, and now DISCOVER another field that's just as nice.

Quoting Dusty:

So only with the proper ship, gun, tag and ID will you get the full bonus.

1) The Mining Ship provides an 80% yield bonus.
1.5) The ALG mover/CSV/Collector yield 20%.
2) The Mining Laser yields an additional 20%
3) The proper ID and TAG provide 15% each.

Numbers are subject to change.

The mining laser can be found on virtually any border world freeport. That is its most common location.

ALG: Scrap Metal
BMM: Hydrocarbons, Beryllium, Gold and Niobium.
