| |
| − | The colour of the atmosphere and the speed traveling at will determine what gas is collected
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The gasses are collected by just skimming the surface and you will need to have gravity anchor off to get enough speed

| |
| − | Several different gases will be collected for use on research in your own [[Space Stations|space station]] and future [[Warp drive without jump gates|warp drive]] technology or sold at the contract boards

| − | Currently only hydrogen and Oxygen are available to be harvested and can be sold on the [[Completing Contracts|Contracts]] board

| − | * Hydrogen is obtained by skimming the pure white gas
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Oxygen is obtained by skimming the green gas of the right shade

| − | Best results are obtained by starting at a distance, ie:- the stare base, setting your view to 1st person, lining up the relavant part of the gas planet, turning gravity anchor off and going flat out into the colour at as fast a speed as possible.
