im currently level 246 and my upkeep is just under 1bn and my mineral income is 2990 per hour at the moment i make about 300m profit a day not including and repairs or other costs just from mineral production - upkeep.

my question is should i focus on getting up my mineral production or am i ok for now?
if i do need to get it up what would you recommend i get it to?

I suggest getting it up because 300m profit/day isn't that good. Especially w/ 1b upkeep, that's 167m for each repair.

You are obviously in desperate need of some cargo space. I would recommend going to an artifact legion and soaking up some MSPs. There is no reason you should have that much mineral production and that little income. I have 3200 and get over 2b a day. You are doing something horribly wrong.

Shortwave, he could be losing alot through capping. I fail to see the relevance of cargo space in mineral value though. Dan confirmed (somewhere, I can't find it) that it has no bearing.

EDIT: Or I may be wrong, I cannot find it. I found many posts to the opposite effect.

I guess I just see it by getting it all in one shipment and that is giving me one big number... If capping is an issue then he should just be colonizing extra planets. He should be at a good rank to have at least 30000 cap which is about the same I have. The only thing I can think of is he is taking in each shipment as he gets it. Like I said. 2b a day for me and 300m a day for him with almost the same production rates? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

I am pretty certain that the size of the pull has no bearing on what you get. I've pulled 3k minerals at once and gotten 9 Ku, and then I've pulled 3 1k mineral draws and gotten 5-10 Ku in each pull.

I suppose the only way to completely test this would be to keep a running tally going at a certain rank. I think I'll start working on that; Cr/MP when pulling small quantities, and Cr/MP when pulling large quantities.

@Rigor... You are correct. I can pull one hour mineral and get 535M and the next hour 735M. The Bell curve and RNG determine the credit value of a set amount of total mineral points, not the cargo space.

@Shortwave... He stated he was making 300M AFTER deducting 1B-ish upkeep. 1.3B to 2.0B is well within the realm of possibility given the production difference, possible rank difference (which determines the center of the Bell curve), and crappy RNG luck.
