Gas cloud harvesting: Difference between revisions

Line 203:

Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3 production]], and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes.

Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any ~~{{co|wheat|~~Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.

Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.

While gas cloud harvesters can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A ~~{{co|wheat|~~Venture}} with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.

The ~~{{co|wheat|~~Prospect}} has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments that the more valuable forms of gas are found in. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.

==Implants==

The ~~{{co|wheat~~|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting}} is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.
