High-Density MB - I will leave this as a surprise for those

the other beams obsolete, but it is pretty nice.

!@#!@# no fixed width typing on here?
oh well

Yah, some sort of table tag would be great. Ah well.

also list some level requirements, Deni is mining 8 for sure.

i have no idea what the levels are. i would have to create a whole new character and redo the whole thing again. someone else will have to add on.

Errrm, there was a thread by dreaded eldrad for this? see me in space ananzi, run...

...but dont brag about running away - its easy to do, standing to fight is a reason.

<-- off topic/roleplaying?....

Uh what the heck are you talking about yoda?

Did I miss an edit on one of Ananzi's posts?

[edit] hah weeks later I get it... duh. Nevermind Yoda :)

y'all have to teach amarus to learn not to run away then

Oh and spider, the guy who shoots you in the back when mining

Level requirements are sort of flexible, though, as you can always fly to Corvus and get stuff at lower licenses. On that note, I'm kind of annoyed to discover that at Mining 6 I can buy every beam in the game as long as I go to pirate stations. Is there currently any point to getting very high Mining skill?

I think if you get mining level 20 you get a big shiny cookie. ;)
