Gilded Asteroid how much Fullerene

[mikek]

how much do you get when sending 1 rocket with 1 cargo.
and how far are they away.

haven't had one, can't really find any info on them.
if you do have more info please post

You typically get back around 1 kg of fullerene per cargo to most asteroids, but yeah, you supposedly can get anywhere up to 30% meaning 300kg of fullerene from a Gilded Asteroid.

I had one on a recent map I'd played and it was out at 130km.

aah, alright. good info
130k is alround 40 cycles trip right?

[cswiger]

Something like 3 cycles per 10k of distance, yeah.

Choose a good pilot with the Rocket Navigation skill.

i have a helium giant(2000kg of niobium) at 100k and a glimmering planet (500/500 tungsten/wolf) at 150k
30 and 50 cycles, was a long wait

You may actually get more from a Gas Giant then Gilded Asteroid. Gas Giants only have rare materials in them as solids. That means you can only pick up rare materials.

So you should send a rocket with 2 cargo. That means 2k of rare materials without any junk materials such as gold and pyrite.
