If you read the read-me file thats comes with the mod when you downlaod it Igiss says he has already increased how much loot you get, but only in certain fields.
It would be nice to be able to mine the big rocks with the Miner and have it more agile so it can get into the fields easier, I tried one and its very clumsy.
It has engine exhusts pointing backwards, forwards and to both sides, but it flys like a brick and the only way to get thru an asteroid field is to fly slow and manually which takes ages and means every ship that hates you gets a nice big, fat and above all slow target to shoot at and they can't miss.
