Do you guys always keep your Harvestors running? If so, how do you pay for the maintenance? I put 1K into my new Wind collector and is says ive got 16 hours left on the meter. How are you guys making your money so you can manage 3+ harvestors?

Myself, I take two destroy missions a day and run them - end up with at least 3K credits afterwards... That way I can puttwo thirds into maintenance of one harvestor and one generator. Then the other third is used for tips to medics and entertainers... I also out a little away to pay for training that I can't get anywhere - like my 5K for Novice Architect... Ouch! ^_^

GoCanes is right on. Take a couple difficulty 8 destroy missions. Nightspider lairs are the easiest, as you can kill the spiders without the others aggroing on you. Take two of them on the way out to your extractors, make sure they the direction you are going, the missions say E, W, etc when you choose one. Starting artisans should train in a combat skill to get you going on the destroy missions. You can drop the skill later when it doesn't matter.

I easily run seven harvesters and three wind generators with this technique.

I just run all 7 of my harvestors on full, and dont pay maintenence.....when they die, ill build new ones. They easily give me enough resources to make them worth it for 1 time use.

Which skill u need to make a harvetser?

Riksk, did you realize that with the last patch, the amount of resources your harvesters gather is dimished, rather greatly, by how much it's damaged? Throw away harvesters are supposed to not be viable, which I hope is true. The method is not supportive to the economy.
