Allof the Space MMORPGs I have played, uses mininglasers (JumpGate, EVE Online, Vendetta Online).

In Jtl, the loot from the defeeted ships are "migcaly" transfered to your inventory, so, the easiest way to implement space mining would be to give asteroids a HP walue, and then transfer some rescorses to the player that destroy it whith their wepons.

i disagree with this, weapons destroy stuff entirly, mining lasers are designed to carefuly take asteroids apart to collect the ore or vauble minerals inside them

Ahh E&B, one of my favorite things was mining(most thought it boring but not I). At least in E&B you could dock with space stations and go into a planets atmosphere.

As for mining being added, I do beleave they will add it in but more then likly as an expansion for which new things will be added that will require elements from astroids.

I just got another looted journal thingy giving details on how and what to mine in space. Has anyone heard anything at all on possibilities of this ever being introduced into SWG? I cant find any confirmation on it yet but man there hints to it all over it seems. Hmmmm....

yup just read it here clicky

Whoohoo! I knew it! *Does the happy dance*

SOE you are kicking serious booty recently. Keep it up!

Now if only they would institute player ship docking...

I hope they don't add unmanned asteroid harvesters. Most of the fun will be going up there mining with the constant threat of ambush. A good reason to get yourself master pilot...to get a ship that has turrets, so you can mine and defend yourself at the same time.
