Good to know so I don't pointlessly get loads more beacons, I've only got 5 in total, one is in use in Akeela's Beacon beta, leaving 4 available for this. I think I can get by with 1.1bn a time for now, I've done this 4 times so far. Each one brings in enough credits for upgrading one 50-60 station complex to XXL, I've found Heaven's Assertion to be the best one to fetch the kits from due to the shipyard's proximity to the gate.Jimmy C wrote: ↑Fri, 24. Dec 21, 10:21Found a complication with selling beacons on these missions. It is susceptible to overflow like selling ships normally. I sold an M4 with 10 beacons onboard and I lost money instead. You can only sell 7 at a time to stay under the overflow limit. That also means all that Nividium was sold at minimum price, boo.
But that's still almost 2 billion for beacons you can retrieve!
I always offloaded my Nividium to the HQ at average price -1 and traders would show up no problem, went a lot faster once I moved the HQ from the ass-end of nowhere that was the Void epsilon to the Xenon hub. Of course with the beacon exploit, the pair of Ozias' that were my mining fleet and sitting idle waiting for the roids to respawn now find use as transporting upgrade kits. Because those kits are so large even the Atmospheric Lifter can only carry one more than the Ozias.
