Description
Before the patch I had my ship set up to mine while a fighter was deployed in defend mode. I had turreted weapons set to fire at will. This insured that as I mined any would be cargo jumpers would meet a swift end as my turrets and fighter took care of them while I went about my business. However since the latest patch the Analysis and Combat modes have prevented my ship from performing as desired. I can only perform the needed scans to find deposits in asteroids while in Analysis mode, which disables my weapons. However should I switch to Combat mode now my mining lasers are disabled as well as my other brand new mining equipment. Basically my once efficient mining ship that could take care of itself now has to choose between just mining and being a sitting duck or, just combat and no mining. I know this may seem a small thing, but it becomes very vexing over time as you find yourself having to constantly switch between two types of mode that seem set on countering each other. Is there no way to keep my weapons and mining tools operating at the same time? I can understand having to switch to scan the asteroids I suppose, but even that seems like a mode best left to exploration rather than the specific type of scanning I am doing as a miner. Any advice or help are greatly needed. Thank you.
Steps to Reproduce
As stated above. One can not have weapons and mining tools active at the same time now, nor can you scan and just go about your mining without switching into Analysis mode which to me seems far more suited to exploration type ships rather than specifically tasked mining ships.
