Quick question, what changes with enh/adv miner upgrades? I was reading the ACS public material and stuff so would the unit# they can hold change if you upgrade?

TEK is your friend.

Capacity doesn't change. No GAs exist for increasing capacity either, at least not in DN (although it would be possible to make such a GA).

EG: Ga'Tarran (DN)
Miner
Hull: 960
Speed: 100
Sig: 225%

Enh. Miner
Hull: 1200
Speed: 100
Sig: 200%

Adv. Miner
Hull: 1500
Speed: 120
Sig: 175%

thanks /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> i just downloaded TEK (which is truly awesome!) but i couldn't find anything about He3 capacity.... but i don't have to so my stupid brain says yay!

edit: grrrr another question, it says that for tf miner energy(J) =1200 and rip cost (J)=80, so i'm assuming that means you use 2/3 of the miners energy when you rip to it? in that case why doens't it recharge during the >5 seconds it takes to rip?
thanks again

Because the energy is drained at the end of the ripcord, not the start.

i'm still confused: like if u have a miner and player A rips to it, at second 8 the nrg of the miner is drained, but 400J is left, and another person starts ripping to it, seconds 8-13 miner nrg recharges to 800, at second 16 person B is teleporting and miner nrg is slightly >800, and is immediately drained to slightly >0, what am i missing here?
thx

I was almost certain there was one that did change the miner capacity (There is the room there for it) but there isn't. I wonder if it's one of the ones that doesn't work...

You're thinking about Yield GA. It doesn't increase capacity, what it does is increase the amount of credits extracted from a unit of He. This, of course, increases the amount of raw cash you draw from a miner load.
