'Crop' Gas Cloud Scoop
| typeID | 25540 |
| Volume | 5.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 9,272.00 ISK |
| Category | Gas Cloud Scoops |
| Produced By | 'Crop' Gas Cloud Scoop Blueprint |
| Description | Originally invented and supplied by the pirate organizations of New Eden, the 'Crop' and ‘Plow' Gas Cloud Scoops once stood as the most advanced pieces of gas harvesting equipment available. Although they did not offer any improvement in their harvesting yield, the CPU reduction was valued by many who otherwise struggled to fit a full rack of scoops to cruiser-class vessels. This one small improvement set the two scoops above the standard, Tech I variant for many years. All that changed however when new, stable wormholes began proliferating across the cluster. As soon as the wormholes were discovered, so too, were the giant gas cloud pockets within the unknown systems they linked to. In a single day, the demand for Tech II Gas Cloud Scoop exploded. Research projects were hastily established and grants hurriedly thrown out to the most promising firms pursuing a redesign. It was only a few days before a breakthrough was made, and the mighty ‘Crop' and ‘Plow' variants soon took second place to a superior Tech II counterpart that vastly increased the harvesting yield. |

Gas Cloud Scoop I
| typeID | 25266 |
| Volume | 5.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 9,272.00 ISK |
| Category | Gas Cloud Scoops |
| Produced By | Gas Cloud Scoop I Blueprint |
| Description | The core technology employed by Gas Scoops dates back centuries, to a time when the extraction of material in space was still a growing industry. Originally, asteroid miners had seen the tractor beams and in-space catalytic conversions used by today's Gas Scoops as a promising new method for extracting spaceborne ore. After many unsuccessful research projects and years of fruitless experiments however, the industry decided to return its focus to laser technology, which was eventually mastered to a level that has sustained the mining profession to this day. 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. |

Syndicate Gas Cloud Scoop
| typeID | 28788 |
| Volume | 5.00 m³ |
| Base Price | 9,272.00 ISK |
| Category | Gas Cloud Scoops |
| Produced By | Syndicate Gas Cloud Scoop Blueprint |
| Description | The Syndicate Gas Cloud Scoop arose out of a joint research project undertaken by dozens of station owners across the region. The residents and industrialists of Syndicate appreciated, more than most, the latent potential of the underground booster industry. Although their modified scoops offered no improvements in yield, they were easier for newer pilots to fit. Their investment in more accessible harvesting technology paid off, when eventually the empires quietly reversed course and legalized the production and sale of synth boosters. |
