We heard of the MOLE at CitizenCon and it has been said that it will be flight-ready when released, but will it be gameplay-ready too? Will all the mining functionality be on board when it comes to light?

Yes. So it uses a lot of the same tech as the Prospector does. So it's got three mining cabs that use very similar multi-purpose... like they can mine and they can tractor beam. We had to do some code in the background to allow three mining beams to go into one cargo grid. But it does everything that the Prospector can do. It's got slightly larger... it's got what we're calling size two mining heads rather than size one. So they are stronger. They go further. They can do a bit more than a Prospector.
