Tempest doesn't do enough mining =D It has gotten in my way before too actually. I don't care one way or the other though.

[Red-Rocket]

me neither, but it is kinda weird to have it their, and in the end it strangely reduces mining time. just something odd

What do you think about adding a small item that you can buy at item console, some low pricing, like 25 veldite, 50 char or so, "Short Range Shield Generator"

You can place it somwere on a cruiser (e.g. next to important console). Then after placing it will have 2 functions:
1. Pack - packs the "unit" that represents the SRSG into "item",
2. Activate/Deactivate - when shield is activated, it creates a small shield with a radius of 2-3 marines, which.
a) would protect user from getting a debris or fire spawning on him, killing him on the console, especially bad when you maintain a 5-10% stability with a big drain at power console, *die*, *cruiser blow*.
b) it would be a nice thing to have when boarding appears - it will push enemy marines away, protecting vital spots, disabling them to pass through until the shield is dead, it will also protect marines that are occupied on console from being insta killed from behind, enemy will first have to deal with this shield

Activated shield should drain BC power, 5 gw per second sounds reasonable enough.

Killing kerm with wraith or corvette isn't mining :p

[Tempest]

it would be cool to have a mine layer place a shield generator of which makes a bubble of protection from enemy fire, or incoming asteroids

I do mine Ivan!!! depends on if we have an available wraith pilot.

[IvanX]

Okay, so you're telling me that you mine if there is someone better at wraith at your team. And Since you're the best wraith pilot of all that happens like... 0% of the time :p?

[Tempest]

Sky is superior to me on a wraith in 1v1's im only better at manuevering.

If i feel our mining team is lacking talent, i will join it. Wraiths hinder economy but miners create it for your team, miners win the game. If i feel our economy will blow i will certainly go out and mine. I always try to go where i feel ill be of most use, mostly that is the wraith or bc, but not always.

The switch view button has been fixed in the new dev patch. I also hide the the directions button.

[IvanX]
