Ships & Modules

I can't figure out my MD yield.

Using Mining Drone I, base yield is 25m3
Flying a Porpoise.

Skills:

• Mining Drone Operation 4 > 5% > 1.2
• Mining Drone Specialization 0 > 2% > 1
• Drone Interfacing 3 > 10% > 1.3
• Industrial Command Ships 2 > 5% > 1.1
• Role Bonus > 50% > 1.5
• Medium Drone Mining Augmentor I x 3 > 10% > 1.3

Gives me 25 * 1.2 * 1 * 1.3 * 1.1 * 1.5 * 1.3 = 83.66 m3.

But I look at my actual MD I and it shows 93.44 m3.

Not complaining, but my OCD is screaming at me: "What factor am I missing?!"

Combine Do Little's 10% per level for the Porpoise and the fact that the rigs aren't additive -- so instead of 1.3 it should be 1.1^3 -- and you get your number.

TIL that mining drone rigs aren't stacking penalized.

As you said, just take it, more is usually better.

With mining drone V you get around 400m³ per drone return on the porpoise. Don't know about ice drones yet but since this years que will be industry and reprocessing, ice drone operation is on my radar.

My guess is in late summer or early fall this year I can tell you more.
