Zoner Whale revision...

[Carme]

I recently bought a Zoner Whale on the USA Server, and I can safely assure you, the vessel is AWESOME.

However...

Something to note:
Zoners have no mining ships...
And they are a nomadic group, so they do not visit the houses when it can be avoided...
Another thing of note:
Each of their ships is a work of art. (Kudos to Jinx)
They pride themselves with their vastly superior Shipbuilding skills than the houses...
More spacious, agile, beautiful and efficient ships.

However, they are not completely self-reliant,... but they could be...
As of now, they have no mining vessels... (as previously stated)
and why would they move into the houses to buy their clumsy-large and inefficient Asteroid or Gas mining vessels to work on extracting material from nebulae/asteroid fields in their Border-world systems?

Thats right, they wouldn't do that.
And considering it is extremely expensive for ships of entirely new classes to be built...
Naturally the Zoners who want/need to mine certain materials would have come up with a logical conclusion:
The Mining lasers they produce and sell on Freeports...
They are extremely low-power, to increase mining efficiency, as well as remove the threat-factor of energy weapons...

The Whale is already a tradeship, and so;
EDIT: Just add some (max level 2) turret hardpoints; one on each of the four corners of the ship, on the sides.
(Arc them so they can aim 360 degrees each, since each covers a corner of the Whale)
This would amount to 4 Mining Lasers, one at each corner.
(Meaning that you'd have totally useless levels of turret power if you tried to use anything else)


Does this make sense to do?
