Given 'recent' events, The Core will probably begin to stop mining Iridium for FP11 and instead we'd like to have the sell point moved to Yaren please.

Lyth Wrote:InRP all the Iridium in Delta is directly mined from Nauru (that The Core controls), transported up to Yaren and then transported to Freeport 11. To reflect recent... 'events', it will probably be best to have the sell point moved to Yaren as I doubt neither The Core nor the Zoners would feel as happy to share Iridium as they did before.
Furthermore this doesn't actually take Iridium out of the Zoner's grasp. In future updates, where Iridium mining is planned, Zoners will wholly get the oppertunity to get the commodity through other factions. Also Iridium isn't the only sell point in the game (although it is the cheapest).
In conclusion, this is simply a logical RP step.

The Corsairs eventually constructed a number of mining bases in conjunction with the Zoners in order to extract the Iridium, which is a critical component in antimatter based weaponry.
IDS 525113 Wrote:Orbiting the planet Nauru in the Omicron Delta system, Yaren Base was one of the Corsairs' most distant outposts. Built in 812 A.S. to better facilitate the construction of planet-side mining camps and research installations, Yaren Base has since been expanded to include ship repair and refuelling capabilities . . . Yaren has since been of much lesser significance for the Corsairs.
The Core, an elite military force, took the insignificant focus of the Corsairs on Yaren as a chance and annexed the station in an attempt to secure themselves more parts at the crossroads to the upper Omicron systems. Most of the Iridium mined in the captured facilities on Nauru gets transported up to Yaren and then either onto Freeport 11 or into Omicron Rho to sell it in borderworlds, edge worlds and sometimes even in the houses, or to use it in their own shipyards. Given this newfound outpost, the Core seeks to expand their grasp onto the planets resources and colonize the desert world.
