For mining you need to have the cargo hatch powered up with weapons deployed as the collector/prospector drones need to exit/enter the hold.

An A grade prospector is essential you've fitted a 3A I'd just go for a 1A as you can only mine one asteroid at a time and you need to carry the drones in the hold.

With 9 collectors available I don't think 2 x class 1 mining laser would be able to keep up so there'd be collectors sitting idle, I'd suggest 2 x class 2 mining lasers as they need 4 - 5 collectors each.

I'd swap the beam laser turrets for class 3 gimballed m-cannons or turreted class 3 pulse as although you have the power to run beams they'll empty the weapon cap real quick.

With missiles now being a serious threat I'd fit 2 point defence turrets in place of heat sinks.

I'd swap the fuel scoop for more cargo space as 128 will fill up quick with the suggested mining fit and you'll want to fill about 40% of the cargo capacity with drones (60 with 128 capacity or 85 with 192)

Thank you so much, especially on explanation and links.
What is "Time" in Limpet Collector?

The "time" is how long the collector limpet will operate in minutes, with a 5C controller it's 8 minutes 30 seconds but remember don't target the asteroid fragments or the drone will collect one deliver it and expire, just fire them off and let them work ;)

I reckon 5C collectors have a better balance of mass, range and lifetime compared to 5A collector controllers, with three of them running you'll be able to mine 4 - 5 asteroids before they expire and they're a lot lighter than 5A collector controllers (I've tried D grade collectors but the limited range means they can get out of range easily and expire if you move the ship just a little)

"Minig" - tell me more of this new occupation of which ye speak!

I fell an overwhelming desire to send you some alphabet bobbleheads as a gaffed.

:)
