======Geodite and Gemology, Level 4======

{{lastedit show="2"}}
**Mission type:** Mining
**Space type:** Normal Space
**Faction:** None
**Recommended Ships:** Hulk, Mackinaw for mining; Miasmos, Porpoise for hauling
===''Summary''===
Mine 2,800 units of Geodite (44,800 m³) and then return to agent.
>> ==''Mission Briefing''==
We need a big shipment of Geodite crystals for a client of ours, some gemology lab. These gemologists figure they might be able to get some decent stones out of it and make a bit of profit that way. Whatever. They want to pay for it, so it's all good by me. And you'll get your cut, don't worry.

===''Walkthrough''===
Warp to the mission site. There are two ways to do it:
1) **Standard:** Preferably with a Mackinaw, mine the asteroid until all of the ore has been mined and then return to the station. Short-cycle the miners for the last ore.
2) **Jetcan:** Preferably with a Hulk, drop a jetcan in space once you have your first cycle of ore. Deposit all of the mission's ore into the can, either with each cycle or when your hold is nearly full. Short-cycle the miners for the last ore. After all of the ore has been mined, return to station and switch to either a Miasmos (cheaper but slower) or a Porpoise (expensive but faster). Warp back to site, retrieve the ore, and return to station.
Turn in mission once back at station with all ore in hangar or in cargohold.
Takes approximately 25~ minutes to complete with a max skilled Hulk and two ORE Strip Miners or approximately 32~ minutes to complete with a max skilled Mackinaw and two ORE Strip Miners.
