In New Horizons,for EV,there was the ability to mine asteroids. Attacking a large asteroid would make it spit out smaller asteroids,which could be sucked up by a special ship by pressing the Board key. I've tried several times to copy this,without any sucess(SP?). Can anyone tell me how this works?

The asteroid was probably a ship with a fighter bay for smaller asteroids, which could be disabled and boarded.
Yes,it was,but for some reason the smaller asteroids could be picked up simply in the same manner one would board a ship,but a small sentence appeared saying "this ship has been added to your fighter bay" and the asteroid was now in your bay.
Shade: your ship would have to have the asteroid bay. That is how, for instance, if you have a UE fighter bay, and you disable a UE fighter, you can add it to your bay.

Hmmm....... Coupled with the ammo-sharing fighter bay idea I outlined in another topic, one might be able to create a ship that could ingest asteroids and produce fighters from them. Anyone wanna try and develop a system like that?

Thanks! ..........I usually get "scammer" or "plotter."
Draco_2488,could you please explain in detail what happens with this UE fighter bay thing? I'm certain you're onto it here.

That's rather it. Boarding any disabled fighter you have a bay for adds it to your bay. The plug-in you mentioned could use a fighter bay φόtf resource called an "asteroid hold" or something to collect asteroids. I don't know what one would do with them after that though, unless there's also a ship outfitter somewhere that sells asteroids, allowing you to sell them back.

That's exactly what I was thinking. You would sell them on a nearby stellar that has a market for the minerals in asteroids. It would work perfectly. You disable the asteroid and add it to your bay. You bring it to the mining stellar. Then you sell it to the mining company, who in turn creates some useful metal from it. Maybe you could have a mission to find the special asteroid, with special minerals... /me starts drooling.
...or you can use Nova's real asteroid mining support, but you have to patient first.

I can't comment on Nova, cause it aint out yet, but it's predecessor, EVO, stunk. Hope Novadoesn't too! Anyway, Untill Nova comes out I'm loyal to the game that holds a special place in my heart, the one & only... EV.
Yes! StarStrafer,you have got it exactly! Please tell me how this works,as I can't get it to.

You can create it in 3 steps.
1. Make a ship that has a graphic of an asteroid. 2. Create a bay for that ship. 3. Make it so you can buy the bay. Finis.
(edit)P.S. If you don't know how to do these three things, then I suggest you read the Bible.(/edit)

Thankyou,Draco. I'm just really stupid,is all But some greek guy once said: "Wisest is he who knows he does not know". I just admitted that I'm stupid,therefore I'm more intelligent than all of you. Don't worry,I know pride cometh before a fall. Noo! Dammit,those lights flickering usually means a power failure on it's way! Ahh that scared me for a second.
