mining badges are dumb planet cracker is unachievable
mining 24-7 for 20 years wouldnt get you close
take a 0 off

what about for 21 years?

If it can be acheived in 21 years then its not "unachievable"....

Some of us do mine a lot more then you realise. One of us will get that badge eventually.

Please spare us the usual mining is dumb blah blah blah speech. If you dont like mining then dont mine.

it cant be done in 21 years and that is the point
I mine all the time why do you assume this is a mining is dumb post
this is a mining is cool but the badges are dumb post
get back to me when you have /////20

That badge is obviously meant for some time in the future when we have access to mining HACs.

Sadly I have let my mining go the last few years - Im only at 17.....

noob :)

Just never got into afk mining.....

I have a feeling new badges are in the pipeline, considering the various comments made by devs re: badges in this forum. Why it takes so long is beyond me -- seems like a simple thing, but what do I know.

too busy pandering to the freeloading droid crowd ?

I actually have some badge art that's pretty close to usable, that's been made pretty recently. So yes, badges are in the pipeline (not just mining related).

Hopefully art along the lines of the logos and existing badges, not along the lines of those turds masquerading as mission emblems. (Seriously, they're freaking HORRID. You could at least have colorized them!)

Technically, planet cracker is not unattainable. I mean, if you mine 24 hours a day, and manage approximately 2000cu per hour (which is pushing it a bit if you're by yourself), you can manage the 1 billion cu mark in about 57 years.

The only way this could be done in less time would be if a team mined 24 hours a day, the player trying for the badge did nothing but haul and sell the ore for the badge, which would theoretically increase the rate up to about 10,000cu per hour, then it could be in a mere 11.4 years. I mean, why are we complaining? :p
