I have 2 ideas, 1 is global mining complex ( why use puny strip mines, when the Mylarai can turn the entire planet into a mine?)
it takes 1 space, 8 mining 400 attack, due to the dangers of the industrial machines and etc. It can only be used on either Barren or metal planets. It lowers pop by 50% and absorbs all artifact and research production for the planet, how can scientists research when they are constantly dodging mining machinery?

Idea 2. Mylarai trade outpost 600 attack 2 mining, 2 space.. Due to the constant hassle of allotting mining supplies from afar, trade outposts have been set up on the important mining planets on the frontier, not only to set coordinate and allot mining supplies and precious metals but to also guard Mylarai mining interests..

how would these be implemented? a gp cost?

Mylarai trade outpost would be either a mission or NPC ship and the global mining complex
would have to be mission based, in order to limit the amount each player is able to receive..
Im sure brighter minds can come up with some sort of mission for the global mining complex

I don't really care for this idea ONLY because I think there are dozens of other Ideas that Dan should work on first. But as the Talken said The Trading post Arti can be NPC dropped(Rare) and I think you could proably limit it to one per planet as well as drop the attack to 300, keep the 2 mining and make size one.

The "Global Mining Complex" I guess could be a one of those missions that do not create a series.....Like, "Hello again (Insert Race name), we require you advanced technological aid in developing a new method of Mass Mining.....It is a form of Gravitonic mining that operates on the Quantum scale, we call it Quantum-Gravitonics.......We believe this will be of great benefit to you."


I think the Size is off on the Global Mining Complex...Since it is a mission Item that you might only get two-five of I think Size 2, 6 mining, and 600 attack would be balanced.
