Please can we have little beacons for mining

[Krezan]

Just mining the other day and am now really off with going back to rocks I have already mined. Please can we have flashy beacons which we can attach to rocks to show they have been mined out or have no useful metals. Be awesome to look back at all your hard work to see them blinking away . Cool for strip miners as well

Should be a easy for people of your magnaminous talents. Also dedicated mining vessel (i.e. something which can smah into asteroids).

Cheers

That would be a really cool quality of life thing to have, seconded

Sorry to dig this one out of the third page, but I use prospector limpets for this. Get a big enough controller and you can have 4 on the go at once, at a range of I think up to about 9k. So not only do they tell you if you have mined them or not and the composition, they are great markers for the last four you checked which is enough for me to make going back to a previous rock a thing of the past.

This is a common problem according to the guides I've been reviewing. The general tactic seems to be to always work your way toward the planet. Then you guaranteed to leave the depleted rocks behind you.
