== The Value of Gas ==

Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as Ore and Ice products do. It can be used as is in T3 production by turning it into a polymer using a [[Polymer Reactor Array]]. The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. ~~At time~~ of ~~writing C84 is worth around 180 isk~~/m3 while C320 is ~~worth around 17~~,~~000 isk/m3! However getting to C320 can be very difficult so a tip~~ for beginners is to harvest C50 ~~which at time of writing~~ is the ~~second most valuable gas at around 7000 isk/m3~~. The sleepers can be cleared very easily and the site can be cleared very quickly due to the small size of the gas.

When you start getting up to the C320/540 stage you will need several people working together to clear the site due to its size. You will probably need haulers and also someone acting as a dedicated scout. Remember, there is nothing like watching someone clear a site then ganking them and taking all the gas it took them hours to harvest in a matter of minutes. Don't let it happen to you.
