Ship launched collector shuttle

[Xiret]

Since we will have multicrew soon, I think it would be nice to be able to carry a ship launcher module (the one for the fighters) that has a collector shuttle, so is possible for another human to help the head of the ship to mine and collect

Right on I think this is a great idea...
Another option to add to this is add a modified utility fighter that has the abililty to scout out and propect rocks but then also tag like 5 rocks at a time for the main vessel to move to and mine.

That would be a great idea. Right now mining is to slow and boring, that would make it even faster.

These ideas have been thrown about before now. The other one I like is a shuttle that allows you to transport a small amount of cargo to a station - useful if you are in a large ship and need to deliver to station that doesn't have large pads.
