There is literally no mining opportunity for junkers. None. That will tick a few people off. Was this deliberate or an oversight?
They took away the scrap metal field in Frankfurt, which was handy for those players on with low numbers in-game.
Oh they joy in death, those who undertake to remove the corpses of ship and sailor.

I'll be looking at scrap buy points shortly. Every scrap field in the game is now viable to mine in, and prices will be calc'd by mining time + travel time at a c/s of about 550.
Once the kinks are worked out, it'll be the most flexibility Junkers have ever had, especially when paired with IFF bonuses on POB scrap modules.

Aluminium ore?
Gold ore?
As I understand it, the sell points are close. As an example Gold ore can be mined in Dublin, and sold to just two NPC bases. Planet New London for 52 NC (New Credits)sand 62 NC at Trafalgar. That is a fair price in that it corresponds to 6200sc/unit at trafalgar in the old currency, but as Gold Ore two units of space. So, 3100sc in the old Sirian Credits (OSC) It's a good price seeing as the PoBs in Dublin buy at 2000 OSC (40 NC today). And don't forget that the return trip to a Dublin PoB brings in supplies for a factory thus making Gold that sells up to 219 NC (21900 Old Credits).
