In order to bring Mining Asteroids, to be balanced with Surface "Mining",
Prospecting limpets should be programmable with both path and Scanning,
where they could follow and map a flight path through an area,
that they would then fly while scanning.
The Scan results would then be sent to your Mining Area Map,
allowing you to then Tag Asteroids of interest and plot a path for your mining run.
This would help to cut so much dull Time out of Mining,
which would hopefully bring more players into Mining.
