Project details:
- Planets / moons / belts have different different max deposits depending on size, terrain type
- New mineral and gas deposits are found in a natural way with a small chance for each open deposit slot, up to the max deposits number the astral body can support
There are two new modules that you ca use:
- Deep core drilling probe / Adv Atmospheric probe
-> Deployed on planets and accessed with the "Command" from Surface view or via station remote connection, it will show hidden prospecting information
-> The module also improves the chance of new deposits being found. Deep core drilling probe will only work on mineral deposits, while Adv Atmospheric probe will work on gas deposits
-> Only the highest prospecting bonus will be used to determine if new deposits are found.
-> These modules can be upgraded using Reverse Engineering. There is no limit to the boost it can provide.
If you pledged for this project and wish to deliver your pledges, or if you want to acquire these modules, please go to Pledge->Completed or Your Pledges and click on the project.
As always, the new module QP price will double one week from now. This will not affect pledges previously made.
New mining mission: "Mining expedition"
- A new mission will appear for miners that are willing to venture into unexplored areas beyond Quadrants -1,-1 to 1,1 and into deep space. The mission is an SoS signal, and it will take you on a hunt for a legendary deposit in a far away place. A ship with bonus to navigation / scout ship is highly recommended to locate the deposit. More details might spoil the fun
Other:
- A mining expedition mission might be added later, to be accepted in SOL bulletin board / Interstellar missions.
-> This will usually take you far away into unexplored space to find treasure
-> Only one of these SOL missions can be taken at one time
-> It will work similar to "Mining expedition", just that the prospectors will board on Earth
Have fun and fly safe!
