FDev - new mining tools hid behind a requirement wall?

[CMDR_Raikkonen]

FDev,

Are the new mining tools hid behind a requirement to own prospector limpets?


For DW2 I was kitting out my ship with refinery, mining lasers, collector limpet, cargo racks, pulse wave analyser and seismic chargers ... hoping to wing up with someone who could do the prospecting?

But I've been informed that you can't see wing members prospect targets or information? And without the REQUIREMENT of my own prospector limpets then I can't find / or lock on to any sub materials or fissures?

This is ludicrous. It totally undermines any of the team work / wing potential for mining. Not to mention how stupid the whole LIMPETS and INTERNALS situation is.


Really FDev ... come on ... make this work properly. Make it work for player co-operation so we can team up and enjoy the experience together and find new ways to do mining out on expeditions.

Not required, I can still attach charges to asteroids before prospecting them, it's a good way to avoid wasting limpets.

the wing issues are a bug (strangely enough that it works in multicrew...)

requirement for prospecting is not 100% since you CAN do it without, if you can visually identify the cracks and just shoot away - you will just lack some informations and the ability to disarm/explode your charges
