SQUASH mine factories

[JonR]

1. Are they profitable with the pirates?
2. As profitable as whisky/weed?
3. Which shipyards sell them?

I have two... Can't say the pirates get a chance to buy them... but the Paranid can't seem to get enough of them!!!

I dont know how profitable the stations are but they can be brought from teladi, split or paranid ship yards check argnopedia for more information:

If you want to attract pirates though, I would build it in one of the pirate sectors away from the patrols or capital ships

Hope that helps

Where do you have your's setup?

I was thinking of buying some, but I don't know yet if it's worth it...

Reason I want to sell to pirates is that they buy at max price. I was going to put the fact in PE where I now have a pirate base there also being on in atreus clouds priests pity and brennans triumph. I know there is already a SQUASH mine fact in elanas fortune but I dont think it produces because of lacking certain supplies, or it will shortly

You can get Paranid trading stations to buy them at max price too.

I build my Squash Mine loop in Emperor's Ridge. I believe it is doing quite well the nearby Paranid Trade Stations, and the Pirate base in Priest Pity.

Build it because I wanted to have some variety in my factories.

It's not just the Paranid. Split and Teladi Trading Stations also buy lots of SQUASH mines, not to mention the pirate bases. Quite profitable, even better than spaceweed and spacefuel, IMO.

Even more profitssss if you eliminate the competition, if you're into that sort of thing.
