I think....

a multiplayer mining ship would kick arse...one person could have to work the drill, another person pilots, someone has to keep the drill engine oiled and maintained so it doesn't overheat, another person works the hopper.
aswell as some people to man the guns incase of an attack....they could make it like some of the best resource requires a group to harvest will a multiplayer frigate.

I like this idea, maybe the ship could have a lot of drills, so several people could do the mining while one flies. Maybe some turrets too.

Too many roles with too little to do, piloting and drilling and maning theturrets in case of attacks could all be fun if the minning is implimented right but keeping the drill engine oiled sounds incredicly dull, as does working the hopper, kinda like being the co pilot in a freighter at the moment.

of course it would be like a mini game kinda thing for maint, drill operator, hopper control. It would take some thought...and not just push a button here...wait...push a button.


I think that would be a lot of fun...and as I said...they could make some of the rarest resources only harvestable by a mining frieghter.....that would take the dullness out of it when you can sell that resource for 20cpu.
