Gold should be used only as a semi-conductor, period.

Lmao

aharg ... gold is not a semiconductor (like Si or Germanium)

It is the best conductor metal (much better then Fe or Al, better then Cu aka Copper)

Isn't silver a little better? That's what I knew.
Silver>Copper>>Gold

It is. But cupper is cheaper and lighter and silver is not that much better that the higher weight and price would be worth it.

well, technically is:

silver ~ copper >> gold

at least on the paper. things may change if you take oxidation into account, or so i was told once. didn't study too much of it though, and still seems quite strange to me - if nothing else because copper and silver oxidate only on the surface, leaving the center of the thing intact.


but yep, copper is indeed cheaper and lighter than silver (without even mentioning gold) for sure. alluminium - or better, aluminium + steel - may be used when amperage is so low that power loss would be tolerable, like with some high-tension aerial power transmission lines and/or you need a resistance to traction that steel could provide and copper could not, if my memory serves me right.

Even though some People in my Contury still break the Power System and steal the Cabel and the Transformer to sell Copper. If we use Silver or Gold for that, I think we can't keep our Power Supply overnight in my Country everyday.

the connectors is where the efficiency loss takes place because the oxide doesn't conduct as well. Best plugs are made of gold, because they don't oxidize and the connector surface has the least loss. Best HI-FI cables are made from solid gold, no interfaces withing the cable.

Well, they used alluminium before the war. Alluminium cable with a insulation made of cloth. In very old houses you see those sometimes and i can tell you, they are frangible and really not suitable for making electrical wire out of it.

Silver is better at conducting but gold doesn't oxidize so they use gold for important but small places.

Talking about gold.., been grinding for "gold" and exp to buy something from this beatiful shop (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wub.gif). It's still a long way... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

Where I live it doesn't matter if it's commercial or residential, water or power, energized or not,

if copper can be had, folks will go for it. Our street lighting system is energized 24/7, yet folks were

pulling wire a block at a time (and they weren't neat about it either).

those rich ass people are bidding so high i don't even have a chance to buy a new power pantsu

As for the peerless rapier, yes. It seems some1 never cares about the extra 8% penalty

you cannot force people to to change their habits with so little or to bid in a time where they cannot, depending on the case.
allow me to remind you that bidding early in super's auction is not a rule, it's only a convenience because you hope in a slightly minor (or at least, not that bigger) price.

either way, more discounts for those who complied to this system courtesy of Petal_Kiss, so a win-win situation.

I wasn't trying to talking about the rules or watever. fine. I just implied that he's so rich that he didn't even care about 8m

105.84m(total) for a glorified poking stick (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
I was wondering about bidding again for that staff but the extra fee for lateness hurts, oh well, at least now I can buy some hath

This. And Rhodium (Rh) is best for connector plating.

I think there is a chance they didn't know about it especially for someone who doesn't use proxy bids. I was not aware of the change until I was hit by it after a large bid.

At least its a peerless poking stick. As you approach end game everything is a gold sink and diminishing returns makes everything seem like a waste of credits. I did not do the maths but it sure is more cost efficient than getting FoS perk and trying your rng buying trophies. Considering how much of a waste it is to use the 10M FoS gamble on one handed weapons.

peerless shortsword of banshee wottt?!!?

And also iirc the rares metal on the planet. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

^ if not the rarest, still on the podium. probably iridium and osmium could be on the same magnitude...
