Mining prospector SLFs

[FlaSh.G]

Multicrew mining isn't a lot of fun, but it maybe could be by adding a ship-launched fighter that fires prospector limpets, or replaces firing prospector limpets from the main ship in another way.
Alternatively or additionally, the "fighter" could have a pulse wave analyser on board.

Imagine having a friend launch in one of those and scouting asteroids ahead of the mothership, faster than said mothership could, then leading the other commander towards the best asteroids for mining.

There are indeed many ways they could improve the MP experience. I think the issue with this one though is SLFs probably don't have any cargo capacity.

I'll just plug this suggestion in again. It's to allow some small ships to dock into a larger one. You could customize your "fighter" the way you need it. Write a post there to keep it active or at least give it an upvote.

A small ship could use regular limpets to prospect asteroids ahead. When it runs out, it comes back to the mothership for more.
