Ok though I love all the great ideas I keep hearing about "fixing" the Y-8 so it can actualy mine...
What they wont do [The Dev's]
A. Change the "layout" of the ship [ie number of turrets - fireing arc of turrets - adding additional slots forward for tractor beams]
B. see above
So what could/would they "change"? Nothing... instead they could/should "add" a craftable mining laser that mounts on the Y-8 forward hardpoint that doesnt "break" an asteriod up but "drills/draws" from the asteroid resources.
Why this? "Because" the mechanics for it are already in game [ie the mission to "steal" resources from a frieghter we do to get the Y-8]
Sad thing is i bet this problem is considered a "crafting" issue and as such has little to zero priority with the Dev's.
