¶ ASTEROID BASICS
¶ TERMINOLOGY
-
NAME: Every asteroid has an ID and a NAME. The ID never changes. The owner of an asteroid can re-name it, with a unique name, at any time.
-
SPECTRAL TYPE: There are 11 different spectral types in Adalia. The spectral type provides an indication of the types of resources present on the asteroid.
-
RESOURCE GROUPS: The types of resources which can be found on a particular spectral type. Each of the 11 spectral types has a resource group.
-
YIELD BONUSES: The bonuses to the mining of resources applied when an asteroid is scanned.
-
LOTS: The number of buildable spaces on an asteroid. The number of lots on an asteroid is equal to the asteroid’s surface area (denominated in km2). Ex. 100km2 = 100 lots of buildable space.
-
ORBITAL MECHANICS: Asteroids in Adalia orbit pursuant to realistic orbital mechanics. The following orbital elements affect the position of an asteroid:
- Orbital Period
- Semi-Major Axis
- Inclination
- Eccentricity
-
SIZE: There are four size categories, and within each category there is a gradation of sizes.
- SMALL: 13km2 to 314km2
- MEDIUM: 315km2 to 5,027km2
- LARGE: 5,028km2 to 31,000km2
- HUGE: 31,700km2 to 1.77m km2
-
RARITY: The sum of the bonuses applied to an asteroid. There are six grades of rarity, each with a different approximate chance of rolling said bonuses when scanning an asteroid.
- Common: ~50%
- Uncommon: ~35%
- Rare: ~10%
- Superior: ~5%
- Exceptional: ~1%
- Incomparable: ~.1%
-
BONUSES: There are 6 categories of bonuses. Each of the 11 spectral types has the ability to attain some of the 6. About 55% of asteroids will be composed of “Common” asteroids that have no bonuses.
- Overall Yield (Applied to all resources mined)
- Volatiles
- Organics
- Metals
- Rare Earth
- Fissile
Below is the chart to identify the bonus level and the % increase in yield specific to the resource group.
