Absolutely. I'm going to do another sample now. And intend to do a few more at intervals over the next weeks (though, as you can see, I don't spend much time on Calypso nowadays). Enough then to do some statistical tests.

I tested out in the same sort of way on an unamped F-105 and F-101 (which I haven't used in a very long time). No point in listing the individual shots, but the hit rate results were: 15/40 shots (one or two hits on a combined ore/enmatter probe) 20/80 hits F-105 8/40 F-101 12/40 Poor...

Ah, misunderstood. No, this particular finder has been in storage since the big mining changes. I've only just started using it again. That old history may explain why it's a bit off on your expectations?

Sorry that it wasn't clear. Maxed finder: 15 hits out of 40 - so 37.5%. The other finder was: 9 hits out of 40 - so 22.5%. So that is reasonably in line with your prediction of:

End of first test So after using one amp on the VRX and one amp on the TK, I've got these (fairly dreadful) results: where a shot = two sets of probes for ore and enmatter where a hit = a successful find on ore or enmatter 22/40 shots; 24/80 hits; Finder 1, 9/40; Finder 2, 15/40...

I could be a mentor but haven't registered. Why? Because I want to be mentored first, and (correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think I can do the latter after the former. I haven't quite got round to seeking out a mentor (who would need to have a level above my top level 34), but maybe I should...

Silly comment on a bug

Testing for a new Planet Lilliput?

hey, he's just a viking. oh shit. we'll start rebuilding those defences in East Anglia. :eek: :D
