Talk:Advanced mining

Cleanup

I have begun updating this guide to reflect current info and use new tables and images. Not sure how long it will take to be fully done. Also, mods, I am curious if we can merge this with the Mining (Guide) page, as this covers everything from beginner mining through advanced. --Cal Hydar 09:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

First of all the article is way out of form to be a wiki article i.o. it goes too deep to issues, it has version numberings, introductions, oppinnions ("I suggest this, i suggest that") instead of facts, talks side of the article issue (basics of mining, refining) and it has misleading header names. After ironing those, quite big, issues it starts to be a wiki article. And yes, it should be merged to Mining (there is no need for disambiguation‎ as there is no other than one mining in the game).

::Realistically, all guides on this wiki are opionated. Gaming strategy, as a whole, is opinionated, but I do agree it needs major cleanup still. I mainly worked on subbing tables for broken images and updating info. --Cal Hydar 10:41, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

need stuff add for 0.0 mining

where are the 0.0 ores

0.0 space doesn't break down anywhere near as neatly as Empire space. Each 0.0 region has its own peculiar variety of ores, and these ores will occur in varying levels of abundance depending on the true security status of the system (ranging from 0.0 down to -1.0). I would advise you to find the lowest security rated 0.0 space you can hold and keep supplied with minerals, and mine there. You're very likely to find most of what you need, though there is the occasional strange omission, such as certain regions that may be abundant in mercoxit, arkanor, and bistot but mysteriously lack all the ores that can be refined into mexallon, isogen, or nocxium; and even regions where only arkanor, crokite, dark ochre, gneiss, hedbergite, hemorphite, kernite, and veldspar naturally occur, forcing players to import all their pyerite from empire or reprocess it from rat droppings. --Tatterdemalian 22:51, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
