The Ore mining review.

[Echo 7-7]

Oh!!! I have an idea!!!

A part of the IDs or IFFs... long time ago Im asking for something for helping in the ore collection in space.

In order of preference:

1. Allow to target a loot droped in the space, and continue rising the amount, like filling up and ship.
2. Just adding a new key for "Drop all cargo" (I bet its possible, NPCs when they are pirating you, a window appear for dropping a specific cargo, so game engine allow it)
3. Turn the Loots not solid to the ship, to avoid constants hits and moving the miner ship (or transport)


But... today I has a simple idea! I hope it will be possible, just allow the "Mineral Stractor" weapon (actually no ships use it) for mount it in ALL miner vessels, but with the diference, that ores will not be automatically into your cargo hold. Like in single player, that will remain on space waiting for tractor it. Simple and this will HELP A LOT in the space collection ore hehehehehe. Would be possible?

Points 1 and 2 are both not part of this thread, but it sounds like a waste of time to even try and figure out how to do point 1. Point 2 might be possible with FLHook but it would be an incredibly low priority. Point 3, I see no need to bother with something like that.

The mining mod is a unversal setting, not particular to the mining weapons, so your last paragraph can't happen without the mining mod code being adjusted. Once again, probably a waste of time.

The whole point of the current mining mod configuration is to ease ore collection by not requiring it to be tractored into the cargo hold. Suggesting that the current setting should be reverted seems senseless.
