Mining: some minor game mechanic improvement suggestions

Fellow commanders (miners),

Some simple mining suggestion improvements (I spend most of my time mining...for some absurd reason I like it!):

Improvement suggestions:

  • Toggle for mining lasers - my trigger finger gets sore after an hour of mining
  • ship collisions with asteroids - your ship should be really given a mighty shunt (based on asteroid turning speed) the mechanics need some love
  • on screen selection of fragments - similar to that of targetting ships backward and forward - maybe the mining lasers come with this or the more powerful ones? (D2)
  • WT..! where did that asteroid come from? :) - moving asteroids (not just turning) - maybe this applies only to relatively new planet rings? You know, you're sitting there mining away, minding your own business and wham - broad sided by an asteroid coming in from the left - shields gone and hull damaged - MUST STAY AWAKE!!!

I'm not one for tractor beams...practice with the way things are right now makes tractor beams almost gimmicky. ;)

Would like to know what my fellow commander's (miners) views on mining mechanics are?
