// This post is intended as an IRP prelude to the 4.86 miningmod changes - To inform your faction of where resources of interest are within it's operational area.
Hokkaido survey report:
The gas mining operations within Hokkaido are finally starting to pay off. Blood Dragon activity remains high, but managable. We've fitted our automated miners with strong defensive systems to prevent tampering. While not as efficient as the newer Kishiro platforms, our own gas mining efforts can undercut the GMG's prices. Hokkaido is ours - and that will not change. The quantity of minable gas in that system should sustain our operation for at least 200 years.
Nagano survey report:
With the completion of the jump gate, we can now make full use of the resources within the system. When the Farmers Alliance first noticed the arrival of planet Shirane in the system, they considered it an oddity, but not worthy of further study. Luckily we were not so quick to dismiss it. The capture of the rogue planetoid by the Nagano star cluster has caused it to partially disintegrate, large sections of it's crust now orbit around it as a dense asteroid field. Surveys indicate this field is rich in Platinum. The erratic orbit of Shirane and it's relative position to the stars prevent construction of any station in orbit, however. Any mining will need to be done using deep space mining craft.
