Mining Ship Cargo Bay

[Anikinsen]

I'll just give the overview about the details of the Mining ship, all 100% detail.

Mining Ship
Gun/Turret Mounts ~ 0/10
Impulse Speed ~ 80
Batts/Bots ~ 600/600
Cargo Space ~ 2750
Armour ~ 145000
Equipment Mounts: CM, CD

Mining Ship Extra Bonus:
80% Yield Bonus for Mining

It doesn't really make sense to have a great yield bonus, but you can't even fill up your hold after a fine day's work of mining. Thats why I think 3500 would make sense, within the Miner ID (3800 Transport or less limit) and for all the other miners. And if it was increased to around 3500-3800, it would cost more than the average transport due to the fact is has higher armour for surviving in harsh mining conditions, but mainly because it has the 80% yield bonus feature. This is why it wouldn't be as good to get the mining ship, other than your purpose would be to mine.

Remember, the Mining Ship should be the best mining vessel, not the one that has hardly any cargo and a fine yield bonus. The Mining ship is supposably suppose to be what Miners would/should get.
This may not make sense, but some might find it will.

Edit:
PS: Yes, mining is a team effort, and should be done in groups. The tag team method is a great way to RP, and I do it also myself. But if the server crashes, whos to say you've lost the majority of your minerals? All the minerals will be gone, all the time spent would be wasted, and who really can help it?
Agreed, the miner is not a trading ship, but it should have a considerably reasonable hold to capture the cargo, incase some other thief might come over and steal your hard earned minerals. Trust me, its fustrating. That is one reason why the cargo bay could be increased to a fairly larger scale.

PPS: Yus! Mining together in groups and doing tag runs is indeed fun! Doing it alone though, can be a bit boring.
