Side notes - +20% RP +10% AP from Race/Pro , Not a CC'r , Rank 234, No more Gaia Seeds/Melters. LvL 10 Facillities, Scanned 455 Planets (highest tier scanners). 0 open slots + a Tiny Barren which i accidentally colonised.
Just a question, just how high should mining production be to compensate Upkeep? i was thinkin' that if it hit cap in 8 hours it would be good, cuase i sleep average 8 hours.
