Case Study: Keelback
This is a look into the Use Case for the new Mining Multi-Limpet Controller, of which
3C MULTI LIMPET CONTROLLER
- range and fragment bonus of a 1C PROSPECTOR with 2s longer boot time
- comparable to 2X 3C COLLECTORS with expected lifetime/range of 510s/1,100m
- weighs 52 tons
3E MULTI LIMPET CONTROLLER
- range and fragment bonus of a 1E PROSPECTOR with 2s longer boot time
- comparable to 2X 3E COLLECTOR with expected lifetime/range of 300s/880m
- weighs 80 tons
Of these only the 3C is even worth considering as it weighs slightly less and and gives the greater fragment bonus. But even then the bonus of a C-rated prospector violates the first rule of mining, always use an A-rated prospector.
So, for the Keelback mining study, the 1A PROSPECTOR will be retained and the 3D COLLECTOR module will be replaced by the 3C MULTI module.
The number of collectors is doubled but their lives are shortened by 1.5 minutes, and according to the
Then according to
CONCLUSION: Not Worth It.
