While mining can be rather calming the rate we get minerals refined and any semblance of valuable cargo is abysmal. And it gets worse the smaller the ship is.
I mean, it's slow going even with a fully kitted Python with dual collectors (6 active at once) so I do not want to imagine the (lack of) speed a small ship would mine at.
And lets not even talk about manual scooping chunks.
- Have collector drones have some cargo space based on rating (1 mineral chunk as cargo per size of Drone controller perhaps)
- Add a possible utility craft with plenty of cargo and speed so copilots can be useful collectors.
- Add a new sensor system that does not require a limpet hell, we have surface scanners that can see a PLANETS metal content why require a prospector limpet to SIT on a ROCK to do the same thing.
