mining ships are basicly bases - they don t fly around. its only players flying them.
they are not really meant to "fly" around - if you look closely - the mining ships are somewhat huge transformers - they can extend their "necks" - making the whole 40% front section a landing platform - and the rear is hollow, too.
as a matter of fact ... mining ships are what the barge is in disco. they deply like a oilplatform and stay there until the ore is gone - having only shuttles/freighters to do the transporting.
sadly though - it cannot be done by players, cause like escorts, you d need an army of devoted players to haul your stuff - which is quite ineffective.
or in short - NPCs don t fly the hegemon around. they have that magic ability to get ore out of solid rocks - something players haven t figured out yet - and so players shoot tiny pebbles... - with guns... instead of using the drills, which are the mining ships main tools.
' Wrote:probably it will to dificult to do proper script, also Pirates will have too easy job to get a ore - You shoot down 100 NCP and You have 2000 pieces of ore.
too easy.
Not really. Taking down 100 NPCs takes quite some time. You'll have to wait for them to spawn first. If they are limited to the mining fields I could see it work. Unless they are flying Mafics with supernovas ...
