just a crazy idea. but wouldn't mining plats. it would make the game more intresting because at some point we all find ourselfs lacking recources to keep on going even with a big number of extractors.
was thinking along the lines of
no armor/shield or very litle
1k build cost
1 or maybe 2 mining beams
it unloads it cargo when the cargo bays are full.
only works in orbit of a planet
as i said just a crazy idea but i would like to hear what you have to say about it.

It's been suggested a billion times... Mining is a player job, if you want automated mining systems you'll have to use planet structures.

Capping planets is a players job, AI doing it.
Supplying is a players job... AI is doing it.
Combat is a players job... AI is doing it.
Building is a players job... Ai is doing it.
I see a trend here
Minning is a players job, but AI can help

Platforms need to be maintained by players, not AI. They are not intended to be permanent structures. Furthermore, the reason there are no mining platforms is to promote the use planetary mining structures. Everything comes at a cost; nothing will be handed on a golden platter.
