Invent that Gas!

[Friday]

Been talking some more about this.
There is certainly a distinction between MINING H-Fuel and TRADING it.

The problem is one similar to what happened to Alien Organisms.
That being said, the solution could also be there as well.

Our miners suck up everything you need to make H-Fuel right there on the spot.
You could make small mining zones around the miners that sptt out H-Fuel.

That's the mining part solved - but what about the trading part?
This is important because there are two (or more) parties involved in this.

- The GMG who would do the mining (and get the greatest mining bonus).
- The traders who haul it. Kishiro is our current trading partner in this.

1) With the mining system. Maximum profit should be occurring when both miner and trader are working together. Working separately should give good profit - equal to standard trade routes - but not optimal.

2) If the drop chance in a mining zone is set for each area, then 'weak' areas like Sigma-13 and Hokkaido would give a lower chance of a drop than 'strong' areas like Sigma-19 and Okinawa.

3) If the drop chance is set for the commodity, regardless of area, then there would likely only be one or two systems with mining areas in them.

4) GMG Miners would give the best drop results.

5) I WOULD PROPOSE REMOVING LOCAL SALE POINTS FOR H-FUEL

6) Let the cheapest buy points for H-Fuel be Manneheim Station and Osaka, or Shinagawa depending on ideal distance. These are only suggestions, there could be other in other directions such as Freeport 9.
- They offer a relative distance for GMG miners to travel on their own and take piracy risks.
- They offer a shorter distance for traders to haul on their own to high-price destinations (of course the profit/distance ratio would be appropriate).

7) The maximal profit for H-Fuel can be established for traders/miners working together in the Sigmas, facing piracy risks in the process.

IT IS ESSENTIAL TO NOTE that in all of this - the profitability of H-Fuel should be equal at least to Plutonium. if it isnt - then no bugger is going to bother with H-Fuel at all! The whole exercise will be a waste of time...
