Did anyone find Nividium?

[Klord]

So ahm....did anybody find a Nividium asteroid in FL?

I have explored most of the commenwealth sectors and 1/4th of it's asteroids are completely scanned. Still failed to find a single Nividium asteroid. Im looking forward to start mobile mining as a source of income since unattended trading (sector/universe traders) mess up the faction reputation.

I'm still not finished with the plot story and have found plenty of Nividium asteroids in the starting sectors.

There's Nividium around, and even an interesting twist on it.

Nividium mines are sold by the NMMC's shipyard in PTNI Headquarters. and they even have an npc one up and running.

May I know the sector name in English please. I checked all my beta named sectors, but couldnt find a similar one. Are asteroids spawned randomly each game?

I saw the NMMC inventory but didnt see the factory itself. Damn.

but if you try to find a good sector for your station try Duke´s Citadel beta there is a jumpgate to another sector with nividium and you can claim both

Thanks for the update.

I found some nividium asteroids in starting sectors.

I have a query regarding asteroids.

Q1. What does yield means in an asteroid? I think it has an effect on how much a factory produces if we place a factory on top of the asteroid. Does it also effect the amount we can mine if we blow up the rock?

[satalin]

yes yield means the factory produces more. here an example from AP but also work for FL
Example silicon mine

asteroid with yield 2 gives you with a siliconmine L 22 silicon per hour

asteroid with yield 58 gives you with a siliconmine L 409 silicon per hour

pretty easy right?

[-XeNoN-]

There are 2 asteroids in Perpetual Sin also

But im not sure if its good to like mine with ship then sell the ship along with nividium for profit xD and repeat until you find high yield asteroid of nividium for Factory

EDIT: There are 3 Nividium asteroids on south side of the unclaimed uknown sector near the Unseen Domain one has 19 yield or smth like that

That means it doesnt effect the amount of nvidium we can mine out after blowing it up right? Are we getting more or less same amount regardless of yield?

[satalin]

in AP ok blow up nividium was ok but why blow up something when you can get much more with a mine in long term? ok asteroids can respawn but how long take it? and sorry don`t know how much it give when blowing it up because i thing in long term with mines.

Because it takes 50 mins to produce one nividium unit. In contrast I have collected 200+ units so far utilizing a single falcon miner. This is just a start, theres a long way to go.
