Mining Tech Breakthrough
With recent improvements in Dark technologies, the earnings to be gained from mining on higher difficulty planets has been improving, D80-D100 planets in particular. There is now more incentive than ever to adventures through the galaxies and seek your fortune.
A basic rig should look something like this; 3 tools plus a mining manager (3d card). The manager provides a 30% boost to DTF production and a 10% boost to production speed, reducing cooldown time.
Each tool in this rig has 24 charges per refuelling, so this rig can have 24 attempts (24+24+24/3) before needing charged entirely. Simple arithmetic shows the rig can earn 304.2 DTF in 24 attempts. One of the big draws with this rig is that due to the merit system it should refuel itself.

However, currently the merit system rewards the points to the planet owner and I am campaigning to have that changed (see my last article, “There's merit in the merit system”). I would much prefer that the user gets the merit points allocated to them as I feel the syetm is to reward activity rather than ownership. In my scenario, the basic rig shown above would generate enough merits to fuel itself and the user would keep the earnings, minus commissions of course.
So the McNuggets Empire would like to make an offer to any who wishes mine on our planets. Until the change is made regarding the merit system, any player mining my planets will have fuel sent to them in return. A merit point is currently earned if you mine with a rig of minimum power 10, currently 24 gets you a fuel pack. So the deal is simple, mine on my planets 24 times and you get a fuel pack.
In time, I will also be running competitions, doing giveaways etc to entice miners but I am also looking for people who want to participate in the grander game and enjoy sharing in the Spoils of Glory. Soon the planetary batlle game will commence, and for that, we need an Army!
