Admin Notice: Server testing #4

I'll do a test run in o11 with a Hessian Hegemon whenever I get some free time and post the results here.

Just to leave a little feedback about the new mining system here:
- I didn't post this earlier because I didn't want to go "zomgnoq-q" like many others without trying it first, but to be honest, after trying to mine for a couple of days now, the new "You -have to- hit the rocks with mining laser or nothing happens" change is kind of a buzzkill. Before, you could keep a decent defensive firepower (Or offensive, in case of unlawful miners) on your ship, and use 1 mining turret plus a high refire turret (8.33 Sunfrenzy turret on a Samura miner, or 8.33 Belial turret on a Hessian one) to mine, which gave you nearly as fast mining speed, while keeping a decent firepower on your ship. Right now, if you want to mine as fast, you'd need at least 4 mining turrets on your forward firing slots, which leaves only 4 forward firing combat turrets and 6 backward firing ones, which is a bit of waste for a Hegemon with 10 slots.

Although it does make sense to me, and I completely understand why this change was added in the first place, as now you'll have to trade some firepower for mining efficiency, but it's not really a change I like, mostly because it was much easier for me to mine with 1 single high refire turret, than having to chainfire 4 low refire ones, all the stuff about firepower and whatnot aside.
