To change the topic slightly.  I was wondering with these missions, if there's any way to gauge the mineral that's there.  If I get a 100,000,000 dollar deposit, then of course I'm interested in going out, If I can be guaranteed that it's diamond, not tin.

Is there any correlation between higher deposit worth, and higher value minerals?  Or could I just find an absolutely enormous pile of a 200 dollar mineral?

not that I have seen, my largest (so far) is a $45 million deposit of TIN.

...and I had to go there to see what it was...

It seems to work best with those worlds that have the most 'spots' available.

The larger the world, the greater chance of finding something.

indeed, I would like to see an 'open' market.

profit, yes they do show a small profit.

the fuel and meds come from 'nest' missions.

you may employ all the rhetoric you wish.

to date only 2 captains have published the locations of their stations.

and neither of them are Dadds or JJL.

If I am understanding it correctly, the power-marines and the cloning vats can only be upgraded through reverse engineering.  They are only sold through the pledge program.

The planetary fortification will be available for sale at the SOL Shipyard, but only up to MKX.  The special ones in the pledge program are MKXV (and not available elsewhere).

And therefore, none of the three can be researched through the normal science tree.

...well, you beat me to the answer, Sir Emi...)

lol

you decided to wear the 'bulls-eye'...

...jeez, I had something to add, ok...

...sargas, hush.  It'll be ok...

I would like to see 'Prizes' (the ships that are beaten by a boarding ship and taken captive (for 'Ransom' or whatever...)).

some people might see it that way.  lol

The ship holding the mission in their cargo bays needs to be the one who looks.  Talk to them every time you orbit the correct planetary type.  You can transfer the cargo to another ship.

lol

but, if you aren't doing 'search and rescue', you don't really need the smaller ships out there...

JJL, if you remember anything that I have taught you, it should be 'everything is a commodity'.  If you don't want to do them yourself, sell them (oops...make that - transfer their contract)...

yes, we can switch them around from module to module (on a single ship) but cannot transfer between ships.
