Douriv: altering purchase plans

I recently changed my route: I was originally going from Khorlan to Holovan via the wormhole. Now I'm going around the entire belt, picking up parchments and stars, and doing Douriv along the way. I'm going to alter my plans on what to purchase next based on how many :mineral: should be expected due to this "side trip" (I admit that doing a good chunk of or all of Douriv, with landings, would take a very long time). My assumption: it would be worth 30k or so, which would be enough to pick up the nearby cheapest V5 with lots of change but nowhere near enough to pick up the V6 without hurting my previous plans. As such, it might not even be worth spending enough time on Douriv to get over about 20k. My question: is my assumption a good one? Either way, if you have any thoughts on what I should be doing with my Douriv trip, feel free to give them.

Depending on how much you rely on the missiles, the Perpetual Synthesis Engine would be a worthwhile investment.
Other than that, i think your plan is a good one ;)

Thank you, Amelyssan; a little side-trip from Douriv could lead to the cheapest known one of those in the universe so it should be worth it. I see you have a little bit of the planet done so you might be able to reassure me on this one: putting that in, I'll need 27k :mineral: off of that planet to absorb my altered purchase plans. Is that a realistic number given my lack of experience with the planet and equipment?

To be honest, I don't know if you will be able to collect 27k :mineral:. If you include transport missions, I think you will. Otherwise, 10-15k would be a more realistic assumption from Landings alone (Like I said, I don't know). :(

IIRC, I could land on Douriv with the same Landing Pods and Engine like you. But before you start cleaning up the planet, I would recommend you to first check if you can land on that planet on a sector with few :mineral:, so that you don't risk too much in case of a crash.

The only "real" advice I can give you is to mentally prepare for the parasitic insects. You can shake them off by moving your paddle left-right in fast, short strokes.

I am sorry if this wasn't that helpful... :(

Oh no, it was really helpful. Now I'm sure that it's not a good idea to try saving up for the V6 (on the path to the V5 right now, actually) just yet and that Perpetual Synthesis will likely be a good purchase on my NEXT trip to Douriv (unless far more money than expected comes from this trip). In other words, I won't go crazy and plan to buy that much after this. Thank you!

And i now regret that I bought it. Sort of.


...just yet and that Perpetual Synthesis will likely be a good purchase on my NEXT trip to Douriv...Like I said, it depends on how much you rely on missiles. I don't rely that much on them, so I will wait a bit to get them :)


...(unless far more money than expected comes from this trip).If you do Transports, you could earn something "on the side." There are two passengers on Douriv. One goes to Tiboon, and the other one to Soupaline.
And on Soupaline is a passenger who wants to go to Douriv. ;)


In other words, I won't go crazy and plan to buy that much after this.Good idea :P


Thank you!Glad to be of some help ;):love:

Parchments? The parchments are only for F.U.R.I. members - for the Syntogenic Accelerator. You made 53 cleanups - you're going to stay with ESCorp forever.

IMO, it doesn't matter as both Parchments and Tablets are scattered around the Belt :P
