Thread: /sign please...Mining in Space & New Ships
Therefore I would propose up front that Mining in space has to be tied to the Artisan Skill boxes.
So what you would have to be to mine is various levels of the pilot skil plus various levels of the Artisan skill.
The more experience the better the mining.
That means if you go it alone in any dangerous area your going to be space sludge.
Mining ships should be able to carry shields and armor but would have to be careful of the mass since overdoing it would effect their cargo space.
Tie in the the amount that can be mined to the Artisan skill.

Also the ships should not be combat-capable themselves, of course they'd have engines, boosters, shields, armour etc; but to mine rare minerals in the asteroids around Dathomir for example (they could make it so that the odd colour Lightsabre crystal is in the rocks for a bit of atmosphere) would require a fighter escort.
Imperial mining ships should have a very menacing, dicatorship look like that held in the Decimator.
Privateers could use some of the large ships already flown by NPCs.
Rebels could get a smaller version of the GalloFree yards transport maybe, modified for light mining.
Could you perhaps supply a link to that topic as it does not show up when I check the In Concept forum?

Excellent plan! I prefer to see mining take place via the ships (small, medium and large) rather than with harvesters; just my take. I also like the idea that the ships be tied to pilot achievement level. Anybody ever play EVE?It has an excellent space mining elementin it.
I agree with the poster that loves the idea but refused to sign; petitions don't ever seem work with the devs.
I would definately post this in the "In Concept: forum. It *is* a good idea.

The in Concept forum would be the best place right now since Tyrant is asking for Idea's today exactly like this but it's also good here since it gets the juices flowing.
Also posting it in the Artisan's forum would be good and getting feedback from their correspondent.
And not directed to you...
Remember that an Artisan had to use real skill points to learn how to mine on the ground.
I feel it wouldn't be a good thing to let pilots who used only JTL skill points be able to mine and compete with ground game Artisan's so some tie in to the Artisan profession should be required.... But I may be wrong so feel free to tell give me your reasons why pilots should be able to mine without any ground game mining exp.

thanks for taking interest in the post. Feel free to move this into another part of the forums. I dont care about the credit, I just wanna see things happen. More ideas!
I think it's a great idea.
Tyrant isn't asking yet for JTL ideas but when he or any other devs do be sure to give them a link or quote from your thread.

Warp, I agree with you. I am a miner (Artisan 0,0,0,4) planet side and Ithink that this would be a good tie in! ...just wanted to make my self clear on that.
