Asteroid Speed

[Dispatch]

Does the speed of an asteroid determine the amount you will get from recycling it?

[TeRMiNaTe]

No, it's random.

How do you recycle an astroid?

[Seyhall]

You need a recycler or a tanker. Then, you use the mission type "astroploitation." You must calculate correctly to arrive when and where the asteroid is, which may not be where it is when you send the mission. That's why, when you mouse-over the asteroid, it will tell you the speed and when it will change next.

Moreover, if you arrive at the point after the asteroid has been there for less than fifteen minutes, you will have to manually go to the solar system with the asteroid to refresh it's position. If you don't like math, you can just manually refresh the asteroids a minute before the astroploatation.

QUOTE(zelph @ Jul 24 2008, 04:16) how do you know which way the asteroid travels? or does an asteroid always travel away from the sun?

Yeap, always ! It goes from Planet Coordinate Number 1 to Number 15 until it get's to the next solar system !
