Diamond ore ? / carbon Asteroids

[shanejfilomena]

being as recent Astronomical news continues to speak of Diamond / carbon concentrations 50 to 4K light years from earth, do you think it relevant that transcendence Universe include Diamonds / Carbon asteroids?

I know we have a great deal of stuff in the Universe and actually most players would never experience them all in a single game,
but IF we know there is Alcohol in the systems ( and have beer in the universe ) we know there are a variety of ores and have them.....
would it not be logical assume that , being as there are huge carbon/ diamond structures within earth and other planets , should the Universe welcome the arrival of Carbon Asteroids from some under evolved or destroyed carbon planet ?

A carbon planet, also referred to as a diamond planet or carbide planet, is a theoretical type of planet proposed by Marc Kuchner that could form if protoplanetary discs are carbon-rich and oxygen-poor.
Such a planet would probably have an iron or steel-rich core like the known terrestrial planets. Surrounding that would be molten silicon carbide and titanium carbide. Above that, a layer of carbon in the form of graphite, possibly with a kilometers-thick substratum of diamond if there is sufficient pressure. During volcanic eruptions, it's possible that diamonds from the interior could come up to the surface, resulting in mountains of diamonds and silicon carbides. The surface would contain frozen or liquid hydrocarbons (e.g. tar and methane) and carbon monoxide.[2] There might be a great lack of water on a carbon planet. Extraterrestrial life might be possible if water is present, but the highly reducing environment could result in metabolism taking the opposite approach to that of terrestrial life, with oxygen-bearing compounds being eaten as food to react with the carbon-based atmosphere.

The pulsar PSR 1257+12 may possess carbon planets that formed from the disruption of a carbon-producing star. Carbon planets might also be located near the galactic core or globular clusters orbiting the galaxy, where stars have a higher carbon-to-oxygen ratio than the sun does. When old stars die, they spew out large quantities of carbon. As time passes and more and more generations of stars end, the concentration of carbon, and carbon planets, will increase

Something similar to this is that astrologists believe that when a star dies, but the star is a medium sized star, then the outer layers will be shed, leaving the core. The core would become a white dwarf, which is believed to be very carbon rich, and in certain circumstances it will become a massive floating diamond in space! Of course, in a multi-celestial civilization, diamonds would then become worthless. The only reason diamonds are worth anything on Earth is that the population gives them value. Without that, diamond is just used in industrial processes, and would actually be quite cheap. I like the idea of carbon asteroids though. You could mine some diamond ore, which would be similar to gold ore but much rarer and much more valuable.

ok so , i actually have it on notepad++ for the Auviq re-write I am doing waiting for responses : I found alot of the Auviq that I no longer thought " current " given the posts and designs going on as opposed to when I first made it.

the Carbon / diamonds you suggest should be Industrial: ore=Res, so that is covered ;
Hydrocarbons we got ; carbide ore? ; graphite? ......ill need to determine uses.

value .......gold is about a good value start point but now I am thinking the rare part......
about the same frequency of Duralloy?
gold is valued at 200
Duralloy Ore is at 350
but you suggested " much more " value.....to push it , actually over the price of gold we would have to recognize it as a possible element in the construction of Diamond Lattice work for Armor....carbon weaving nanos

Duralloy Armor rates in at 2500 credits for a product made from ore costing 350.. ( actually 7.14 )
Diamond Lattice Armor rates 24000 credits......produced by nanofacturing which = carbon weaving
the retail price......so say......450 ? ( write the rest off to manufacture and retail? )

Ok they are in and working in the system.....I got Iron and Steel Ores as well...
asteroids and took a plasma torch to frost asteroids....then regular rocks......came up with a nice collection of ores that rounded out the level and frequency of ore bearing asteroids nicely.....I am impressed it worked so well the first time , no tinkering around.

I am happy to have got a working idea for once

what about a diamond planet ?

YES, I read that when it came out . but I can not do images like you great people, Im just a scrap dealer in terms of .xml.

However, I have been moving planets lately to reduce the battles with my added Devarran pirates and Constructive Chaos
the fighting got pretty intense for a few days so to not reduce the stations, I reduced the ships then had to move the entire planets in Eridani just to chill everybody out ( while still keeping close so the player can get help ).

........the Ice or Crated planets.....i can convert one to a Diamond Planet but after that....this could take a few days to test ideas for what the planet involves.....i already got a few extra ores today ....Molybdenite and Manganite .

** for those you not Ore Savvy :
Manganite "An ore of Manganese. Manganese is used to make alloy steels. Steel is mostly iron, but has other metals such as Manganese in it.

Molybdenite"Molydbenite contains Molybdenum, which is used in the manufacture of Steel."

thank you......i will continue to look into this planet and see about putting it in the systems after i figure out the details of converting one in the game and what a Carbon Planet could be for the player.

Ok i have the ores in the .xml and searched out the planets....the best i could do with what is in the game is convert a RockyPlanet to resemble an asteroid in it's ability to be mined for ore.

so essentially i made an asteroid that looks and gets placed like a planet.

testing continues because, in game , I don't know which one it is....LOL

update on Carbon Planet: In the Auviq ( now and Adventure so i can do more things to make it the way i want it ) Carbon Planets are Guarded by Mining ships ( but not against the player : yet. I had to get them working first before I could consider illegal miners )

Anyway they are easier to spot : the Sisters Of Domina have a screen feature to tell the player that miners are guarding the planet because that planet is a Carbon Planet ( they should spot the miners on game start because there is one next to the sisters to alert the player of their existance then the sisters can back up the " whats with the miners?" question the player might have)
