CO-PILOTS need a special overlay so that they can see whats overloaded, with what values and what commands they have access to the moment they get in the chair all pre set up for them with no fussing.

Almost like the control panel of the ship opens, ( a thin strip of graphics )

currently they cannot tell what balance the shield is set on, all they can see is how full the shields are

I am able to mine with my Y-8.

Did you run a weapon overload program when you tried before? When I first tried mining in my Y-8, no chunks would break off. I read somewhere on here that it works if you run a weapon overload program. The next time I tried, I ran WO3 and had no trouble mining. It was slow though. Since the top turret and pilot gun do not have intersecting paths, the "slurp" method of mining with a tractor beam is really hard.

As for key questions forus to consider (ideally if you have tried these on TC):

• What do you like about the changes?
  I like it alot. Much more reasonable resource requirements.
  New stats also welcome
  


• What do you dislike about the changes?
  No complaints, except the bugs that will go live
  


• Have you seen any issues with them? (yeah, definately need to have been on TC to answer that)
  Nothing to add.
  


• With these changes are you likely to use your POB ship more in PvE combat?
  I hate POB ship. I will still be using my fighters. Bel-22 & Vaksai 4tw!
  


• With these changes are you likely to use your POB ship more in PvP combat?
  No, customers are to be shot down in a more personal matter. Face to face in fighters.
  


• If the answer to either of the last two is no - Why not?
  Lag. And beside, I am more comfortable in my fighter. Less people to depend on.

When i asked can we actually mine in it, i meant it as, does it mine?
When i used my Y-8 ship, me and my friend went up, i started "drilling", drilled some more, some more, kept drilling and drilling, nothing would come off... then my friend asked me: "So are you going to start yet?"

there was NO action going on for other players, i kept shooting and shooting on my screen with the mining laser, but no chunks flew off, and the other players did not see me doing anything at all... It's like i was only dreaming i was mining... err...

That's what i meant with my question.

Can you confirm you were in the pilot seat of the Y-8?

You have to have an RotW account in the pilot seat of a Y-8 before any chunks will come off. Although the pilot doesn't have to be the one shooting the main asteroid.
