This is going to be a simple project. I am starting with 200PED and not using any type of plan. I am just going to be randomly dropping probes anywhere I fee like with no preset plan completely ignoring the mining data on the various websites. The reason I am using 200PED is because that's what I got after buying the Gold Starter pack. I think that is a very reasonable purchase for a new player. I have played/are playing several MMO's and most of them I have spent at least $40 on.
Goal:
1) How long 200PED lasts in mining.
2) See if I can achieve the theoretical 90%TT return without any system like the pros have and without a larger payroll.
3) If 2 fails prove a good plan works.
My current Equipment
1)Ziplex Z1 Seeker
2)Earth Excavator ME/01
Level as of this post:
Prospector: Level 2
Miner: Level 2
Driller: Level 1
Surveyor: Level 1
I started this last night with a 100PED run.
Results were better than expected.
Start: 100PED
End: 236TT value in mats
Decay: 3PED
--------------
233PED
+133PED TT
MU unknown until the second 100PED run is done and mats are sold from both runs. Probably not going to be much being most of the mats are oil and lysterium.
131PED HOF on Oil was the big winner but I also got 105PED TT in misc. Even without the HOF I was at 105% TT.
Now I am off to do the second 100PED run then sell the mats and continue. After this I intend on just doing single runs with however many probes I can afford at the time. I intended to last night but it took 1.5hours to drill that HOF and I ran out of time.
