Yield comparison of the new mining ships

Sorry if I haven’t been clear.

The Venture has two gas scoops.
It has a 100% bonus yield to turn 2 into 4 effective gas scoops.
It also has a 5% reduction in cycle time per level to at level 5 turn 4 gas scoops into 4/(1-5*0.05) = 5.33 effective gas scoops.

The Pioneer has three gas scoops.
It has a 25% reduction in duration role bonus to turn 3 into 3/(1-0.25) = 4 effective gas scoops.
It also has the same 5% reduction in cycle time per level as the Venture, to again bring 4 gas scoops to a 5.33 effective gas scoops.

So as you can see I did use the role bonus.

I hope that clears it up?

Okay, never mind, then you are correct, and I was wrong. My math was off. Thanx for the explanation.

The ‘catalyst’ expansion… is it some kind of sick joke?

The expansion added new Expedition Command Bursts which boost amongst others salvager range and salvager cycle time:

This is a big Catalyst buff!

Mining destroyer?

wtf

Indeed! And a faction Venture!

So besides buffs for salvage Catalysts the blaster Catalysts too get a nice update; more targets to shoot!

And have you looked at the stats of the Odysseus? If you can catch one of those loot piñatas your Catalysts will have a really nice day.

The Odysseus looks pretty sick though ngl…

Now you’ll have to start ganking asteroids. Not like the average IQ of your targets is going to drop much.

Once those Consortium Ventures, Destroyers and Odysseus’ go boom in HS, an endless stream of tears will arise. The same people that today lose a 500k Venture or Barge will then lose a faction ship and cry bloody murder why they could be blown up by a handful of dirt cheap Catalysts. :slight_smile:

This update is going to be awesome.
