Awesome work on compiling this info AhrienTerrik. I agree with your fix suggestions, and have implemented something exactly along those lines for Publish 24 to fix the experimentation issues with the Elite components and mining tools. When Pub 24 hits TC, you'll see that resource requirements have changed for all of these components to make experimentation more favorable.

You'll also notice that the Elite, multiplayer-ship-only components have had some pretty major stat upgrades so that a team of people crewing a multiplayer ship will be a formidable force. I've tweaked those stats before, but not to this extent. People have told me that a crewed multiplayer vessel should be about as deadly as if those people were each flying a starfighter, and the stat increases I implemented should put the elite components into that range. I'll tweak in testing as needed based on your feedback and our QA, so once you guys get a hold of these changes, please let me know how close I am to being on target with these changes.

Cheers, and have a good weekend.

I read the DEV's were going to make the Y-8 into a "real miner". Is there any ETA?

My apologies for my absence from these forums for some time now, and for making the comments about the Y8 improvements slightly before I was ready to do so. That said...

I just finished testing the extra turret additions on the Y-8---two new fully functional turrets on the frontside of the ship that cover the front and sides of the ship. The range of motion on them is pretty permissive. Add that to mining laser experimentation fixes, some decreased asteroid resource requirements on items that use them, and an increase in the number of resources granted per asteroid chunk destroyed/tractor beamed, and I think mining in the Y-8 will be a more attractive proposition. Look for that change in Publish 24.

Looking forward to your feedback on this. Have a great weekend

Good to see you back around William! How about any info on fixing the quest to get the Y-8 will that be fixed with publish 24 since the ship will be usefull then Thanks.

I'm actually looking at the quest issue right now trying to figure out what is going on with it. I'll update you guys when I find the problem.

Woo hoo! another laptopper like me! Wow that sounded wierd just now...

Sure, that is possible. When I set up my vendor, both owners of multiplayer ships and other ships will be able to deliver resources to the vendors of Core Resources. This is also great in periods where there is not enough crew to man an Y-8 effectively.

I might even set up a vendor already now that will buy asteroid resources, just to get the ball rolling.

But I need to find out approx what the mining depots pay for the different resources, and what the market down on ground are willing to pay for it, so that I can decide upon 1. the price I am going to buy resources at, and 2. the price I am going to sell resources at.

So if any of you have some general idea what the standard prices to the npc stations are, as well as the prices on the market are, it would be appreciated.

From my understanding, the prices are a bit overblown currently, due to the difficulty of aqquiring enough resources for the demand?
