Hegemon problems

[Busy Miner]

The intent of the new mining system is for it to be an actual activity. A Hegemon is mining 10,000 volume worth of ore in, eh, let's say ten minutes - which is a high estimate, if we're talking pure mining time and ignoring travel time - on an indie 3.0x mining multiplier ID. That's already incredibly fast for the quantity mined. You may want twice the rate, but you have yet to provide an actual argument as to why it would be better for the game if mining was an instantaneous non-activity. If you don't like it, simply don't do it. The old mining method won't be going anywhere, and you can get your credits from it if you prefer it.

"The old mining method won't be going anywhere, and you can get your credits from it if you prefer it." Well, the original field in Dublin is pretty low on gold asteroids, so no. But I probably installed too few weapons on the Hegemon, I give you that. Probably faster if you can blast away like crazy.
