Who was it that asked how the Y-8 handles compared to the YT-1300? Handles exactly the same.

Please - please someone that has the Dev's ear stop the idea of adding extra turrets. The turrets on the Y-8 should be for defense only ... not even part of the mining process. The Y-8 "should" be more vunerable to attack... If you want to add content for grouping rather make it bringing escort fighters not a larger crew.

AND honestly ... how often are you going to be able to talk 4 buddys into space [if they add the 2 turrets] to go shoot rocks? I can see it now...

Possible crew shouts "We did this yesterday!! Whats in it for us?"

Joe shipwright "Come on guys i promise you .... well I know there isnt any experience or loot. Well I'm a shipwright so I could make your POB components for free... oh ya did that yesterday. Its thrilling... ok so its not. Wait i'll pay you!! Come BACK!! PLEASE!"

I cant HIRE pilots to space mine at 50cpu... and you think I can find 4 players to man the guns?

You need to find some good people to enter into a PA with.

My PA will regularly drop things to help one another out. We regularly take trips up in a POB together and whack some baddies. Once the whole deal with the Y-8 is fixed, we are going to head up and mine like heck. Mostly so that we can all fly around in High Mass Z-95s and then outfit our primary POB vessel with the higher end equipment, once they get those issues worked out better.

The content for grouping is all there, you just need to find the right people to group with.

The opporunity is there.Group and mine in deep space with a fully manned Y-8 with only mining lasers and tractor beams and three Master Pilots in JSF as an escort. Minimmum time required to fill the hold while the fighter escortsblow the SH*T out of anything that comes near us!
