TM Settings

[Dead_Myth]

I was just wondering if anyone knew the best optimal tm settings for running 2 clients at the same time assuming both toons have max mining skills and both in hulks with no gang boost/implants with t1 strip miners and also how beneficial is it to have mining laser 2's on with the crystals in them. I run my clients 18 hours a day and have yet to use t2 strip miners on them with crystals for fear of lost productivity when the crystals/specific roid runs out.

I was also wondering how much of a productivity increase the warp from 200k gives.

Thoughts/Ideas welcome.

i can almost go 18hrs on a set of crystals. I hear other miners swear by them, but sometimes i wonder if they are realy worth it for empire mining at current mineral prices. You would have to do a cost benefit annalisis on your own i think. almsot have two miners skilled up to exactly the same level. at that point im goign to set one out with crystals and one without for a day and just see if i cant see enough of an overall boost to make a difference. might be better served with just dishing out for a highwall with the t1 strippers.

edit. might not have to. the difference is huge. my miner with max skills with t1 strips and a highwall only pulls 1277 per cycle/laser, my slightly lower skilled miner is pulling 1490 per cycle/laser (that is mining plag.) that would be a loss of over 600 units per cycle. Thats half way to a 4th mining laser in effect per cycle. Im sold, Crystals are definatly worth it.

I am currently running 150 sec cycles at 4 cycles per trip and im coming out pretty spot on on average with roid pops etc. on 2 clients. your mileage might varry.
