typeID	60313
Volume	5.00 m³
Base Price	3,000,000.00 ISK
Category	Gas Cloud Harvesters
Produced By	Gas Cloud Harvester I Blueprint
Description	Ever-increasing demand for the products derived from gas cloud resources finally drove yet another breakthrough in gas harvesting technology, with the old scoop tech's integrated tractor beam and gas conversion systems massively overhauled to include broad-sweep beams and high-efficiency, multiplexed catalytic conversion arrays. The large increase in the size of the installed hardware and the power requirements of the equipment has meant that only larger ships can be contemplated as platforms for the new Gas Cloud Harvesters. Given these demands and the advantages of using dedicated mining ships, the practical module designs were soon specialized for use on mining barges and exhumers. When the first interstellar Gas Clouds were discovered, they proved particularly challenging for industrialists to extract raw materials from. Many methods were tried, and although successful acquisition was always guaranteed, there was a need for much greater efficiency. It was not until the mining industry returned to long-abandoned projects that a solution was found. Since that time, gas harvesting technology has slowly moved forward, giving birth to new industries and economies in the process.

Given these demands and the advantages of using dedicated mining ships, the practical module designs were soon specialized for use on mining barges and exhumers. With development of the first practical Gas Cloud Harvesters for mining barges, it was only a matter of time before the benefits of advanced components and the efficiencies made possible using morphite alloys led to upgraded modules. The Gas Cloud Harvester II provides a major performance improvement at the cost of increased power requirements and some residue byproducts.

Description	Ever-increasing demand for the products derived from gas cloud resources finally drove yet another breakthrough in gas harvesting technology, with the old scoop tech's integrated tractor beam and gas conversion systems massively overhauled to include broad-sweep beams and high-efficiency, multiplexed catalytic conversion arrays. The large increase in the size of the installed hardware and the power requirements of the equipment has meant that only larger ships can be contemplated as platforms for the new Gas Cloud Harvesters. Given these demands and the advantages of using dedicated mining ships, the practical module designs were soon specialized for use on mining barges and exhumers. The specialist engineers and scientists of Outer Ring Development took the basic technology of barge-operated Gas Cloud Harvesters and massively improved the efficiency of the units to produce the ORE Gas Cloud Harvester. CONCORD's AG12 technology monitoring section believes ORE's staff were significantly assisted by the collaboration of Intaki Syndicate engineers working within the Upwell Consortium partnership. CONCORD is concerned that illegal booster manufacturing and smuggling may increase due to the development of such enhanced gas harvesting technology.
