Use 7-8K on the rarer materials (Except for uranium) and get 22K more credits. Then, sell the M class for its standard 40K. With the extra 22K, you will have enough to buy all the uranium you need and enough money for the manufacturing fee. Tested and done in 1.6 Hours. (Editorial Note: '''This strategy is not related to the use of this ship.''' Additionally, this is ''not'' a recommended strategy if you do not have a back-up or replacement Miner that is relatively on par or better than the mining efficiency of the [[M Class]]. It is advised instead to attempt to find the occasional large ore chunks of uranium around [[Frion I]] if it is level 3, in a public server; or otherwise exchange salvaged [[Ores|Plasma Batteries]] for uranium upstairs of terminal D in [[Mega Base]].) | ||
