Default Re: Mining a Sphere World

The problem with using solar energy to make matter is it takes an absolutely ridiclous amount of energy to make a small amount of matter- you're basiclly undoing the matter/antimatter reaction. E = mc^2 is nice for bombs but a pain in the butt when trying to make matter:

m = E/C^2

From a game perspective, you can mine the ring/sphereworlds because if you couldn't they'd be pretty much useless.
