Primae

Primae

Primae The Primae is a repurposed ORE design intended to ease the task of extracting resources from planetbound environments. Initially devised as a deep space salvage vessel for large-scale ore retrieval from destroyed ORE fleets in pirate-occupied areas, its previous incarnation was made all but obsolete by the arrival of capsuleers on the interstellar scene. Realizing that the ship could, with a few minor modifications, be made into an efficient resource harvesting aid, ORE wasted no time in revamping the design.

A low signature radius (a holdover from its earlier manifestation) adds a layer of defense to the Primae's already decent plating. In addition, the ship's two large bays have been re-engineered to hold equipment for planetside resource extraction and processed materials, making it an especially useful complement to any planetside harvesting endeavor.

The Primae is a ship given out over the new gift system after a patch on June 28, 2010. The Primae is given by Outer Rims Excavation for use in planetary interaction.

It was available for redeeming between 29 June and 13 July 2010, on a basis of one ship per account delivered in station. More information on the Dev Blog.

The Primae has 3 holds, including two related to the Planetary Interaction :

  • A standard cargohold of 100 m3.
  • A cargohold for planetary goods of 1000 m3.
  • A cargohold for command centers of 2000 m3, allowing for two command centers to be carried.

The Primae also has 4 low-power module slots, allowing for industrial equipment to be fitted. This might sound nearly nothing since industrials tend to carry much greater capacities of any kind of items. However, the Primae can be used by anyone because it doesn't require any skill to be flown (and therefore should be useful to new players inexplicably unwilling to train a racial industrial to level I within a half hour of character generation).
