In doing mining of all types for a long while, I have noticed that of all the tools you are presented the Sub Surface Displacement missile is the least used for high gain mining. I can only count 3 times that I have ever used it, 90% of my mining requires the seismic charge and abrasion blaster (naturally) and the remainder I use lasers.
The motivation for this suggestion is to hopefully expand the use of this device as well as perhaps slightly broadening the lucrative opportunities it will present.
Here is what needs to change;
-High Value Asteroids that can be cracked open now also have guaranteed deposits of the target core resource (be that Void Opals, Painite, Low temp Diamonds etc) in the form of sub surface deposits, if Players want to get the most out of these asteroids, the will need to use the SSDM first, otherwise they will destroy these reserves once the asteroid is cracked open. This will allow players to bump up the amount of valuable resources gained from these asteroids.
- Regular asteroids have an increased chance at spawning deposits of valuable resources in the form of sub surface deposits. this adds a bit more excitement to exploring rings for valuable commodities!
Hopefully these changes will add a bit more flavour to mining, adding an extra activity for players to pursue when seeking resources, and of course slightly increasing the amount of valuable commodities players can obtain from high value asteroids.
