Don't you like how we do harvest trees at our Fazmarai plantation?

Very cunning indeed.

Awesome. I'm amazed that using a helicopter could possibly be cheaper then hauling them on the ground. Although those trees look pretty tightly packed.

Probably it's a matter of ISK/hour... huh.

But seriously, how long takes? 30 to 40 seconds per pack? Say they average 60 packs per hour, that's some 20-25 USD per pack in flight costs, and they can load a truck quite fast...


PS: i was concerned about G loads, but after watching the video again, they're no issue, really, as they just let the pack swing up on its own rather than try and hold it with the helicopter. That kills the horizontal momentum with minimum stress.
