New use for mining stations

posted on May 6th, 2009, 6:37 am

I was talking in the Armed Mining Stations thread and i thought up an idea: what if you use mining stations to decommission ships? so basically it would be like mining but you would be "mining the ship" and not unloading cargo. Decommission speed would be controlled by the "unload rate" of resources, not a multiple of the ships construction time.

hm, aren't shipyards not enough for decommissioning ships? i'd say mining stations for mining and not for ripping ships apart

While true, it takes so long to decomission ships now and it would give a new twist on the use of mining stations. Maybe make it so that you could onlyt decomission captured ships; im sure miners would love to take apart a vorcha!

no dont do it, a mining station is what it is... to mine... dont let it deviat its role....

oh a seperate note, decommissionining takes too long at shipyards, it takes double the time to build one but you get half the resoruces back, please fix it...

yes, having an individual decommissioning time is on todo for while now too, so don't worry
