Revitalizing the game?

It also means a team who has lost all their miners can still collect resources...

On the other hand, a BC sitting in the middle of the kerm field could collect all of the resources on its own. I guess that is not really any different than a BC guarding a miner sitting in the kerm field.

A natural no-upgrade-required BC mining ability would be very interesting. It means that spending energy to move the BC before the final fight can be relevant and lead to an increase in mining.

Honestly, I feel like the more you make the BC a multipurpose do everything unit, the more you take away from the small ships. No doubt, having the BC able to mine things would be interesting -- but doesn't that heavily take away from the point of having miners and chompers?

If possible, I think it would be best to make sure that the roles of the small ships and the BC overlap as little as possible -- gives relevance to actually having them around, and moreover in my opinion gives more relevance to player actually utilizing the ship to begin with.

I can't remember the last time this has happened since I got back to playing CC.

Its pretty hard now to hurt another teams eco, unless you get lucky early game, which is good in my opinion. But BC mining....ya just wont work, because the income balance is needed for small ships, BC is as strong now as it is, we need more small ship play
