Well, I've seen stupid ideas for POB ships, mining ships, capital ships, so heres one from me.
Would you like to see a sort of mining projectile?
I'm Thinking somthing like a drill with a concussion round and a propulsion systemon the end. Lock on, (should take awhile) fire, drill into the rock, (should take awhile) and detonate (should not take awhile 
) Its refire rate should also be veeeerrry slow so it cant be used like a blaster
) Its refire rate should also be veeeerrry slow so it cant be used like a blasterSo I've got that so far, how would you think it would work from there?
- Blow medium size chunks off
- Blow off lots of small peices
- Just add mineral to the cargo bay?
- other? _____________________

I've been mentioning off and on since RotW came in, that I want to see seismic charges work for mining. no need to add anything new, just modify the targeting and damage parameters for this one class of missile so that they effect asteroids too.

i like that idea. but would launching a missile at the asteroid only break off a chunk? or give you a bunch of asteroid in your cargo
