Attention Everyone - Scrap Mining

[Mounteblanc]

Will you be upset if a junker player demands your scrap? I think it would be a great way avoid doing any of the actual scrapping.

If I was a Junker, Junker players demanding my scrap would kinda piss me off. But, hey, scrap mining makes money now! Yay!

Scrap

Vierland Prison, Hamburg
Bornholm Depot, Omega 15
<strike>LPI Huntsville, Texas
LPI Sugarland, Texas
Culebra Smelter, Puerto Rico</strike> - Temporarily disabled pending review of Texas scrap drops
BPA Newgate, Manchester
Invergordon Space Port, Inverness
Fuchu Prison, Shikoku
Tripoli Shipyard, Omicron Gamma
Valetta Shipyard, Omicron Alpha

Best places to currently mine are New London and New Berlin. Other fields are reduced. You can still mine in Liberty but the output will be somewhat muted.

Target goal is 1000 scrap in 2 minutes for Junker/ALG TAG/ID players with the appropriate Ship/mining laser.

Full details.

The scrap system will still be expanded. This is beta stage for this commodity.

If I may make a suggestion regarding Culebra:

Change the selling price so that with Texas's current drop rates it equals out to about the same credit/time ratio as the other routes. Remember that the radiation in the *negra fields take a big bite out of ships. Anything durable enough to collect a full hold will come back with a few hundred k's worth of damage.

Culebra and Viqeues form a big part of my roleplay as a career Junker. I can assure you my status, as a result of these changes to scrap metal collection, is set to STOKED.:)

I'm glad. I'll see what I can do. It might need to wait until the next update due to its very close proximity to a working scrap field adjacent to a guard system though.

I realise it's just extra work but why not make it a big event? Pull some strings with the powers that be and set up contracts to clean the Texas incident and begin the rebuilding of the system.

Throw in some (highly) explosive gas clouds, random spots of extreme radiation and Junker Patrols with a salvager as the leader and watch the sparks fly.:D

FIRE TEH LAZER!

Seriously though, something does need done about Osaka, as the station has no purpose at the moment, since Samura is no longer part of the H-fuel market.. I'll think on the matter, and talk with the Samura peoples.

Looking forward to Clean up!

Thanks.:)

Is this system on and running?

I tried mining in New London in my Salvager, 2 mining turrets and Junker Id and the drop was low (2-10) and sometimes nothing. Gained about 100 in 2 minutes.

Then flew to BPA in Manchester who are offering $2 per scrap!!

I is a bit confused
