Pretty much spelled it out in the subject. What if we could use gas cloud harvesters on mercoxit clouds? Harvest the gas to remove the damaging effect and gain more resources, but the 1500m range on the harvester means you have to put yourself in harms way to get it! |

What would be the resource gathered? and what would be it's purpose? |

Perhaps a component needed for Tech II drugs? |

an interesting addition - it'd either require some VERY careful flying or something approaching a tank on whatever you fly I like. For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it WILL be. |

In order not to screw over those who've learned Mercoxit mining to V, the Mercoxit gas clouds would still need to be created although less frequently and with significantly reduced damage output if not no damage output. |

Personally I think the whole gas cloud creation needs to be revisited, since the radius is 5km, I can just mine at 10km with Mercoxit Mining 1 and not worry about it ever.
Maybe they could change it so the chance to generate is the same but the radius of the cloud decreases by 15% per level with a starting radius of 15km, so Level 1 = 12.75km radius, Level 2 = 10.5km radius, Level 3 = 8.25km radius, Level 4 = 6km, Level 5 = 3.75km radius.
This way, a maxed out Mercoxit miner can generate clouds that they only have to sit in for a moment to get within range of their gas cloud harvesters, compared with an inexperienced miner who would have to wade through 10km of damage to get close enough to mine the cloud. |

have you ever harvested gas - the gas cloud is a large object - that is to say - not a point that you orbit, I've been orbiting gas clouds that overview was telling me I was 1,000m from, but the tactical overlay was telling me that I was about 7k from the centre of..... and in a venture - you've still got to sit for a minute, 2 minutes per cycle 'in' that gas cloud whilst you harvest it being in range of the centre point..... yeah.......

Or the opposite of how the skill works now. If the clouds become minable and valuable then low level mercoxit skill would be a low chance to spawn a cloud while having the skill at V would be greatly increased. |
