Gas Giant Mining

Gases from the gas giants (gas planets) can be collected by flying through them at speed

Gas mining is currently one of the best ways for the smaller starter ships to get some credits

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 station and future warp drive technology or sold at the contract boards

Currently only hydrogen is available to be harvested and can be sold on the 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 white part of the gas planet, turning gravity anchor off and going flat out into the white at as fast a speed as possible.
