'''Gas cloud mining''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Combat Booster|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production. It is accomplished by finding a [[Scanning:Scan Results#Gas Sites (Known Space)|nebula]] in known space or a [[Wormhole Gas Sites|fullerite reservoir]] in wormhole space, and mining it with a gas cloud harvester module. | '''Gas cloud mining''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Combat Booster|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.

The ''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. | The ''Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting'' is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting.

Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as Ore and Ice products do. It can be used in Tech III 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. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout. | |||
