  Wang Teng and Huang Zhe looked at each other. Although their faces were full of reluctance, they still started the jump engine in order to prevent their space capsule from being destroyed and not to lose their skills.

Two space capsules enter the Canopus space station.

"Is this really a mine ship?"

Huang Zhe asked, looking through the battle records carefully.

The battle records showed that his Valkyrie had lost nearly 6000 of its structural value, but the Hunter-class ship still had nearly half of its structural value.

"Incredible, the structural value of this hunter-class ship is 1.2?"

Huang Zhe's face was full of surprise.

"How did you see it?"

Wang Teng looked confused, and then Huang Zhe taught him where to look at the battle records and make calculations based on the battle records.

Then, the two of them stayed in the space station to calculate.

When they calculated the final data, they were shocked.

The hunter class has a shield of more than 6000, an armor value of more than 5000, and a structure value of 1.2.

"This fucking mining barge?"

Seeing the final data, Huang Zhe's face was full of disbelief. This data was actually more than the Gallente battle cruiser! Is this ship still a mining ship?
  Someone in the club has obtained the data of Gallente battlecruisers through some channels. Even the Bruticus class, which has the highest defense, does not have such shield value, armor value, and structure value.

Then, he looked at the calculated DPS of the Hunting class, 4 Warhammer drones, which was just over 150. The DPS was higher than both of their Berserker classes. Even they could release 4 medium-sized combat drones. The DPS of the Warhammer is only less than 120.

"Is this also called a mining barge?"

Wang Teng also shouted.

This data thing is just a mining barge? Has anyone ever seen a mining barge that two cruisers couldn't take down? Who is the cruiser?
  Now, the last cruiser in their hands has been blown up, so they can only drive the novice ship, rush back to high security, and use the destroyer to temporarily restore health.

When the two of them left the space station, they happened to see the hunter-class mining barge land near the entrance of the space station.

The headlights in front of the hunter class flashed, and then the bow of the spacecraft nodded, as if greeting the two of them.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go, this revenge must be avenged!"

The two agreed that this revenge must be avenged one day.

"It's dangerous! It's dangerous!"

Just now, after the hunter-class armor was penetrated, Li Yi became nervous. Fortunately, the structure of the hunter-class was strong enough to withstand the last Fury-class cruiser. Otherwise, his ship would not have been insured. The hunter class exploded, I was really heartbroken.

After cleaning the battlefield, Li Yi did not dare to stay. With the current state of the hunter class, it would be too much for another cruiser.

After returning to the space station, due to the damage to the structural value of the spacecraft, the price of repairing the hunter-class was extremely high, actually costing tens of millions of star coins. This was mainly because the current valuation of the hunter-class was too high.

Because mineral prices, especially those in low-security and low-security areas, continue to rise, the current valuation of the Hunting Grade has reached over 3 million star coins, a direct increase of more than 50% compared to when Li Yi made it. Therefore, structural repairs cost this amount of Star Coins.

Li Yi felt distressed, so he did not choose to repair it at the space station. Instead, he installed a small structural repairer and a medium armor repairer on his Hunter-class. The two repairers were activated and repaired.

After spending a long time, Li Yi's hunting class was finally repaired, and then Li Yi made a determined effort to give the hunting class the highest level of platinum-level insurance.

Once his hunter class is destroyed, he can get 70% of the value of the spacecraft as compensation, and he can also get a compensation of 2.1 million star coins, which is basically higher than the cost of Li Yi's investment.

Seeing this, Li Yi's mind suddenly moved.

"Does this mean that my plan to make money out of nothing is feasible?"

The so-called making money from the void means using the insurance system of the spacecraft to insure the spacecraft when its valuation is high. After the valuation of the spacecraft falls, the spacecraft is then deliberately given away and destroyed. In this way, you can obtain High compensation.

Li Yi was thinking, now, the prices of high-security minerals are continuing to fall, while the prices of minerals in low-security and zero-security areas are still continuing to rise with the upcoming cruiser era. Just relying on the small pirate equipment of high-security, they can be obtained after decomposition The minerals cannot support the National Cruiser at all.

Nowadays, those who can drive cruisers are the top players in the game, and most players are still driving frigates and destroyers to compete with high-security NPC pirates.

Like those players who drive cruisers, without the support of the forces behind them, only a very small number of people can build a cruiser through their own efforts.

Now, only those players who are mining and running transportation are relatively wealthy, but those players have invested all their skills in related skills, and their spaceship driving skills and combat skills are insufficient.

A spaceship does not just need to be able to fly, it also needs to be equipped with reasonable equipment, so the skills required are too many and complicated, such as spaceship operation skills, various armor and shield skills, engineering skills, modification skills, weapon systems: cannon technology (hybrid cannon, projectile cannon, laser cannon), missiles, drones, etc., such a huge system.

When skills can truly achieve mastery of a certain spacecraft, it takes a lot of time.

But no one expected that Li Yi would not fly these combat ships, but chose mining ships. With the powerful bonus of the hunter class, he gained strength that far exceeded that of the cruiser.

At this stage, only the hunter class can achieve a balance between combat and mining. Other players can only continue to specialize in a certain aspect. If you want to mine faster, you have to give up fighting. If you want to fight, then Don't think about mining speed.

In this way, Li Yi drove the hunter class and continued to mine ore on Canopus.

For several days, everything was calm. Because the galaxy was so big, Li Yi rarely encountered other players. Occasionally he could see a few, either driving frigates around the star sea, or destroyers struggling to deal with asteroid belts. NPC pirate.

When those destroyers saw the size of the Hunter class, they immediately abandoned the ongoing battle, distanced themselves, got rid of the pirates' jump interference, and jumped away directly.

After all, the hunter-class is much larger than a destroyer, and even a bit larger than a cruiser. Today's players generally believe that size is their combat power, so they can't afford to fight.

This made Li Yi depressed. This hunter class was specially used to fish for meat and to fight other pilots. As a result, except for the first few rager classes, no one took the bait anymore.

No one took the initiative to attack him and entered his attack range. With the hunting-level maneuverability, it was basically impossible to catch other spaceships.

He could only vent his frustration on the ore in front of him and destroy it completely.

Looking at the dreary white dwarf star in the distance, Li Yi only felt that life like this was really good. Just mining and making money like this, as long as you work hard, you will gain something.

Then he checked the amount of ore he had stored in the space station. A simple calculation showed that if all these ores were refined and then sold, he would earn at least more than 5 million star coins.

Now there is a question, whether to sell it or use those ores to make spaceships.
