I was stunned to do the math and research to find out that a Level 3 Finder Amplifier is now equivalent to an OA102. However, it would seem that because it charges the same decay for enmatters, that it is equivalent to an MA103 in that regard.
The eMine amps have maintained their effectiveness. However, if you look at the item info on an eMine I vs. eMine II, you get the best bang for your buck with the I. Notice the efficiency is 3.8, and the II is 7. This means for half the cost you are getting a little more than half the performance.
It is important to always consider all economic sides of every tool, attachment, or item you otherwise use in Entropia. A lot of you may only lose 10 peds per hunt, or 20 peds. But when you go through and fine tune your economy side of hunting, you can find that those 10 and 20 ped losses would have been avoided by being as efficient as you can.
Mining is the same way. However, to be successful at mining, you have to eliminate volatility. A run of say 500 drops will be less volatile than a run of 100 drops. A longer run gives you more chances for any losses to balance out and maybe hit a big hof or a tower. I would find it hard to believe anyone could run more than a 1000 bombs and not global or hof, but not that it hasn't happened.
I am not positive why it made sense to go to 13 levels of amp, and I am not even positive why they would make the decay the same for ores as enmatters, but you should notice significantly larger than average claims while just surveying.
Personally I find the new system confusing, but am getting used to it now that I understand what the changes are. Also it makes room for more crafting opportunities and allows more control over how much amping you want to do.
Good luck and happy mining!

I am currently waiting for a reasonably-small payout ($150). The terms state up to 6 weeks, etc...it's only been 4 weeks, so I'm not concerned, yet, lol. I work for a company which *regulary* pays its bills at the 60-day mark, so it's a very normal thing to have to wait for an invoice to be paid 30-60 days for goods and services already rendered. MA *does* extract a fee for withdrawals, though. They shave off the top *and* are slow to deliver payment. If they're going to brag on their pages about the exchange rate and ease of withdrawing funds...I think they could improve their performance (but I've never seen them change *any* of their habits in 6 years, so don't hold your breath. I do know one post-uber friend who chipped-out and bought a laptop (but yes, he had to wait 60 days).
