Can some of the [mining] tasks be broken up further? For example, a few 325As could use their sensor sweeps and launch prospecting missiles, find a set of good asteroids, and transfer their data to a Herald, which goes off to sell the data while the 325As continue the discovery. Could that be a thing?asked by Gua

Well, specifically in terms of mining, that's totally a Tony Z question. So we'll have to wait for the next time he's on. In general, yes, you will see a lot more specialized utilities for ships as we get Item System 2.0 and more distinct options for people in terms of scanners and add-ons and mods and such. We started with weapons and guns and missiles, and now we're expanding to other stuff. So in general, yes, but as for the specifics of how mining will work, that's totally a PU design question.
